And some highlighted the difficulty of his success.
Surprised the MVP was unanimous. It's near impossible to build consensus on anything, no matter how obvious

It's almost impossible to get 130 media members to vote anything unanimously. There's always one contrarian but kudos for getting it right.

Some social media users disagreed with the outcome and put LeBron James as a more suitable choice.
MVP should be the player who is most valuable to their own team, records have shown LeBron is more important to the Cavs than Curry to GSW

But an overwhelming majority said Curry was the inescapable choice.
Curry made FOUR HUNDRED 3s & Dubs win 73...and some of you idiots don't think he deserved MVP? If I was ever blocking someone it'd be today

And some used meme's to express their awe.
I made this four years ago. Still relevant every game, basically. pic.twitter.com/PGq1kQtLGr

After receiving the award, Curry played his first game after two weeks of injury. He scored 40 points off the bench, including an NBA record of 17 points in overtime against Portland Trail Blazers, causing further praise and buzz on social media.
