Offensively, this is arguably the greatest season ever by any player. Something that can't be seen in his averages is his record-breaking 402 three-pointers for the season. Just to put that in perspective, he owns four of the top five slots (for most 3-pointers in a single season) with the second being last season when he knocked down 324 3's.

He recorded all of that volume shooting and scoring with inhuman efficiency, joining the 50-45-90 club, which already had Steve Nash and Steve Kerr as the only three players to shoot those percentages over an entire season.

And we haven't mentioned the 73 wins yet, the single-season wins record that the Golden State Warriors registered under his leadership. As a leader, he led by example, becoming the only player in league history to average more than 30 points for a season while playing less than 35 minutes per game.

The team's record-breaking achievement combined with Curry's once-in-a-lifetime season propels him to #3 on this list.
