#2: Stephen Curry

It was very difficult to put the back to back MVP as the second best point guard in the NBA, but with the addition of Kevin Durant to the Warriors, asking Steph to put up the numbers he has the past two seasons would be absurd. Curry is a one of a kind player and is probably the best shooter in NBA history, but with yet another top talent joining his team, it would be hard for him to contribute as much.

Curry is still a top 5 talent in the entire league and could still be the best point guard, but as of now the number two spot fits better.
