Steph Curry’s heartfelt reaction to winning the NBA award

Winning awards is nothing new for NBA superstar Steph Curry. Curry received awards such as NBA Finals MVP, two scoring titles, a two-time MVP, one of which he won with the only unanimous decision ever, and four NBA championships.

In his sixteenth season, he received an award that is very close to his heart. Before the start of Friday’s preseason game against the Lakers, the late great Jerry West’s son Jonnie West presented Curry with the NBA Kia Clutch Player of the Year award. The award was named after Jerry West himself.

Curry shared a very heartfelt reaction on Instagram after winning the Clutch Player of the Year award. What touched him most was celebrating an award named after Jerry West.

“A special moment with Jonnie West celebrating the award named after Jerry West and honoring all his importance to the game of basketball,” Curry said. “Come full circle moment. Love to the entire West family.”

Jerry West has previously inspired awards such as the Jerry West Shooting Guard of the Year Award, an annual award given by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame to the top men’s college shooting guard.

While Jerry West is no longer here, Steph Curry is the perfect recipient to honor his legacy as the clutch Player of the Year.
