Throughout the decades, a fair share of superstars have electrified the NBA. Some elicit dropped jaws, some attract zealous fandom and some perform on such a level that their accolades appear to transcend reality. All of these are applicable for Stephen Curry. The Golden State Warriors guard and reigning Most Valuable Player is performing at such a level that he has many wondering how such historic greatness is even possible.
