There are certain factors when it comes to the NBA's Clutch Player of the Year Award. The efficiency numbers during clutch minutes have to back up a player's case, as well as his frequency in making such timely buckets.
Curry leads the league in total clutch points at 165. He is 51-of-101 with his clutch shots (50.5% shooting), 28-of-59 with his clutch 3-pointers (47.5% shooting) and 35-of-37 with his clutch free throws (94.6% shooting).
During the 2022-23 regular season, Sacramento Kings star De'Aaron Fox secured the award as the first NBA player to do it since its debut.
Steph Curry's incredible 3-point game-winner against the Phoenix Suns
On Feb. 10, Steph Curry put the Golden State Warriors on his back in a much-needed 113-112 victory over the Phoenix Suns. In a game where Kevin Durant had 24 points (10-of-25 shooting) and Devin Booker had 32 points (11-of-21 shooting), Steph Curry emerged as the ball game's biggest star.
With just 3.3 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, the Warriors were down two points after Booker converted on a tough 18-foot jumper.
However, 3.3 seconds was enough time for Curry to get a good look at a game-winning shot. When Warriors forward Draymond Green set a good hard screen on Durant to momentarily free Curry to catch the inbounds pass, he made a quick spin over Bradley Beal to launch a 33-foot jumper from beyond the arc.
The game-winning shot was incredible, but it was even more impressive that Curry had to adjust his movement a bit as Beal almost stole the ball before the reception. Once caught, Steph Curry's footwork was automatic, as he made it look like a practice shot.
Steph Curry finished the game with 30 points (10-of-22 shooting, including 9-of-16 from 3-point range), nine rebounds and six assists.
