The haters said Steph Curry’s legacy was incomplete without it. They said he’d never catch LeBron James. They said that the 2018 Sportsperson of the Year award was due to Kevin Durant, that the Warriors had ruined the NBA by forming a super-sportsperson team.
Steph Curry shut the haters down once again by winning a second Sportsperson of the Year Award from Sports Illustrated, cementing his legacy in a way that a Finals MVP never could.
Stephen Curry was formally honored as Sports Illustrated’s Sportsperson of the Year on Thursday night, an award that lauded the Golden State Warriors’ star’s success in the community as much as his triumphs on the court.
