There is something special about that curry

Whenever Steph Curry steps out onto the court you can’t but think one-word Greatness! On Tuesday he won the MVP award for the 2^nd year in a row. However, he made history, becoming the first unanimous winner in the NBA. He is the 11^th player to win back to back MVP awards, joining a star studded list of players such as Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Lebron James and many more. His award speaks out of his overall high consistency and quality. This season wasn’t just special for Curry, but also for his team the Golden State warriors who made history by beating Michael Jordan’s Chicago bulls record of 72 victories by winning 73 games. The numbers don’t lie Curry is exceptional. It’s not just the fact that he can pretty much shoot from any angle or anywhere on the court (Half-Court shot against Utah Jazz) for me it’s his impressive ball handling skills. I love the way his coach Steve Kerr has built this team, it’s a great unit. The warriors can kill you with their 3-point shooting, especially when Curry’s splash brother Klay Thompson is in Rhythm. The two seem to just mop the floor against most teams and then there is Draymond Green who for me is one of the most underrated players in the league who is slowly getting the recognition he deserves.

If you’re not a believer in what I’m saying just let the numbers do the talking.

D-Day

 

Today is the day when the relegation race could finally end. Sunderland put themselves in a fantastic position when they beat Chelsea on the weekend and would seal their premiership status with a win over Everton at home which would relegate both Newcastle and Norwich. Since Sunderland’s big away win over Norwich they have taken five points from a possible nine. Rafael Benítez seems to have rallied the Toon army but it all seems a little too late. A win against already relegated villa at the weekend would have been perfect and put pressure back on Sunderland, Newcastle would have had 36 points but instead it was a bore draw and they only have 34 points, just like in 2009 when Newcastle where relegated on the last day due to a loss at villa it seems like de ja vu with a draw almost certainly putting the final nail in the coffin of Newcastle. As for Norwich how they wish they had a striker like Defoe in their camps. They have not scored in their last four games, between Naismith who cost Norwich 8 million, Mbokani and Jerome they have only managed 9 goals this season. They have truly struggled to score.

Once again it seems like Sam Allardyce is going to maintain his record of never being relegated from the Premiership, however let’s look at a couple of scenarios for tonight’s premiership fixtures.

·        If Sunderland where to Lose against Everton and Norwich win then the relegation battle goes down to the final game this weekend

·        If Sunderland draw and Norwich win, then the relegation battle goes down to the final game this weekend

·        If Sunderland lose and Norwich lose, Norwich will be relegated tonight

·        If Sunderland draw and Norwich draw, Norwich will be relegated
