Warriors-76ers: Steph Curry gets MVP chants on Joel Embiid's home floor after dropping 49 points

Steph Curry made just two mistakes on Monday night against the Philadelphia 76ers: He committed too many turnovers (six) and he picked Skittles as his preferred candy over M&M's (objectively incorrect).

Everything else about Curry's performance was impeccable. He scored 49 points, including 10 3-pointers, in a 107-96 win that got the Dubs back to .500 on the season. He's averaging 40 points for the month of April, something that's been done over a full month by just four other players ever, and he's overtaken Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal as the NBA's scoring leader.

Naturally, when you pull off those feats, you're going to launch yourself straight into the most valuable player discussion.
