The Warriors won 67 games this season and Curry played the best ball of his career, averaging 23 points, seven assists and four rebounds per game along with two steals. Harden had an impressive season with the Rockets, but he ended up in second place. The race appeared to be between Harden and Curry with James a distant third and that is how it played out.

Westbrook got some love for playing so well in limited time without Kevin Durant, while Anthony Davis made it into the top five after his strong season.
