Red-hot Curry scoops NBA's MVP honourThe 27-year-old received 100 of 130 first-place votes from a panel of 129 writers and broadcasters, along with the fan vote on the NBA's website.
Both Curry and Harden have led their respective teams into the Western Conference Semi-Finals.
Curry, who has had to overcome his share of injuries already in his
career, was full of emotion when he was presented with the award.
"There were obviously good times and bad times," he said.
"Times I wanted to shut it down.
"Times you realize where all the hard work you put into it was worth it.
"It just made me realize how blessed and thankful I really am to be in this position."I mean, you see, first of all, the team success, that's the first thing that pops out."
Curry has this season surpassed his own record of 272 three-pointers
that he set two years ago, drilling 286 shots from long range.
He buried 44.3 percent of his attempts from three-point range.
He has averaged 23.8 points, 7.7 assists, 4.3 rebounds and two steals.
Curry is the second USA national team player in a row to claim the MVP honor after helping his team win the world title.
After playing for the Americans returned to the Chicago Bulls and won the award.
At the World Cup in Spain, Curry had some dazzling performances.
He started in the American backcourt and was always a threat.While his full focus is on leading the Warriors right now, Curry is in
no doubt going to have a chance to play at the Olympics for the first
time when the Games are held in Brazil next year.
