Stephen Curry could have easily walked away with two awards last season, his second consecutive Most Valuable Player award and the Most Improved Player award. His scoring average leapfrogged from 23.8 to 30.1 points per game — an improvement for the record books as no back-to-back MVP has ever improved their prowess by such margin.

Not only did he shatter his own record of three-pointers made in a season by 116, totaling a whopping 402 — but this season he intends to get even better.

“I want to get better. I want to be better than I was last year,” Curry told CSN Bay Area on Tuesday. “That’s going to be the same, regardless if KD was here or not.”

It's hard enough to be a championship contender the year following a title, but to do what the Golden State Warriors did on the regular season, shattering record after record, was flat out dominance like it hasn't been seen since the 1995-96 Bulls.

Curry took an already explosive arsenal and made it a flat out nightmare, making him that much more lethal and tougher to guard. Not only was he the first unanimous MVP, but he did it with numbers that are among the best NBA seasons a guard has ever had.

The 6-foot-3 sharpshooter posted a 50/40/90 season (field goal percentage/three-point percentage/free-throw percentage), joining the likes of Larry Bird and Dirk Nowitzki as some of the select few to ever do it.

He was part of an even more exclusive 50/45/90 club, where his only company is Steve Nash who did it in 2007-08.

While some people would say there's less pressure on the Warriors because they didn't end up winning the championship last year, it's not the way Curry is approaching it.

“You would think there's less pressure or whatever, but that’s not how I can think,” he explained. “I still gotta do my job and do it at a very high level for us to be as great as we want to be.”

As great of a player as he's proved to be, there are areas of improvement for the back-to-back MVP.

Stephen Curry can make use of his new teammate Kevin Durant to rack up more assists, maybe even double digits, and it would surely help his team if he can get better defensively as his coach Steve Kerr expects of him.
