Stephen Curry

A six-time NBA All-Star, two-time NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP), and three NBA championships, Stephen Curry is considered the greatest shooter in NBA history. Although there are many great players in the NBA, such as LeBron James, Kevin Durant, it makes sense for Curry to be the best player in the world. The 31-year-old star has received a lot of credits for revolutionizing the basketball game by inspiring teams to regularly use the three-point shot as part of their winning strategy.

He even broke the record by being the first player in NBA history that got elected MVP by a unanimous vote in the 2015-16 season. The following year, his team, Golden State Warriors, also made history by having the most wins that led them to the 2016 NBA Finals. In 2017 and 2018, Curry helped the Warriors to return to the NBA Finals that they won back-to-back.
