Listing Stephen Curry's head-to-head record against all the NBA MVPs since he last won the award in 2016

#2 Nikola Jokic (12-5)

As one would expect, Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets have not had the best of times whenever they were up against the Golden State Warriors. Curry has a characteristic elite record against Nikola Jokic and averages 26.8 points and 5.9 assists.

On the other hand, Nikola Jokic has managed to score just 14.5 points against the Warriors in regular season games, along with 8.6 assists. The two have also played five played matches against each other, with Stephen Curry enjoying four wins in the one series. Curry has managed to help the Warriors to a brilliant 12-5 record against Jokic’s Nuggets, with the 2021 MVP winner coming up short multiple times against the Warriors.

#4 Giannis Antetokounmpo (11-3)

Another player who has won back-to-back MVP awards in the past few years apart from Curry is Giannis Antetokounmpo. In different conferences, the Milwaukee Bucks have come up against the Golden State Warriors in 14 games thus far.

As one would expect, the Warriors have outperformed the Bucks comprehensively and have won 11 times out of 14. Giannis has traditionally been ineffective against the Warriors, and averages 15.6 points, 7.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists. In comparison, Stephen Curry enjoys a healthy 21.9 points and 6.9 assists whilst shooting at less than 36% from the three-point zone, which is actually less than his average.
