Stephen Curry broke multiple records and received accolades during the 2020-21 NBA season. He surpassed Wilt Chamberlain as the Golden State Warriors' all-time leading scorer, and also passed Guy Rodgers for the most assists in franchise history.
Curry had a mind-boggling month in April this year, sinking 96 threes, the most in a calendar month since the introduction of the three-point line in 1979. To put that into perspective, his tally from downtown was better than what was recorded in an entire season by any player between 1979 and 1987.
Suffice to say, Stephen Curry obliterated the previous record of 82 held by James Harden.
What has Stephen Curry won in 2021?
Stephen Curry is no stranger to awards. He is a two-time MVP and the only unanimous MVP in league history.
After an excellent 2015 MVP campaign, Curry took it up a notch in the 2016 season. He redefined shooting in the NBA en route to 73 wins in the season. A three-time champion,
Curry only continues to impress, finishing third in the MVP voting last season. He is one of the preseason favorites to win the award in the upcoming 2021-22 NBA season. On that note, here is a look at five accolades Stephen Curry has received so far in 2021:
#5 All-Star Selection
Stephen Curry isn't one of those players who has been an All-Star his entire career.
Curry was drafted in 2009, and battled ankle injuries for the first few seasons. He was snubbed in 2013 when many believed he deserved one. However, after the 2014 season, he has been an All-Star in every season except in 2019-20, when he played just five games.
By the mid-term break last season, Curry had already set a new career-high of 62 points, scoring 57 in Dallas. He was on pace to lead the league in scoring, and getting an All-Star selection was obvious. The 2021 selection takes his tally of All-Star selections to seven. He received the third-most fan votes in the league, and was the only guard to garner five million votes.
In fact, the reason why Giannis Antetokounmpo's All-Star Game MVP award wasn't a unanimous selection is because Stephen Curry received two fan votes.
#4 All-NBA First-team selection
An All-Star selection doesn't guarantee an All-NBA team selection. There are more than 24 All-Star spots, but just 15 All-NBA selections.
Each team in All-Star weekend selects 12 players each. Often a few names get added later because of injuries to original selections. Three All-NBA teams have five players each. Jayson Tatum, Donovan Mitchell, Zion Williamson, and many other players were All-Stars, but didn't make it to any All-NBA team last season.
However, Stephen Curry's All-NBA first-team selection was a no-brainer. He led the league in scoring and also in three-points made. He ended the season third in the MVP race. The scoring champion and MVP candidate is bound to make the All-NBA team. Curry broke Kobe Bryant's record for most consecutive 30-point games by a player aged 33 or older.
Curry's All-NBA selection last season takes his total to seven, with four First-Team, two Second-Team and one Third-Team selection. He was two votes shy of a unanimous First-Team selection, as two members of the media voted Chris Paul for First Team.

#3 Scoring champion
As mentioned earlier, Stephen Curry led the league in scoring last season, registering a career-high 32 points per game.
At 33, he is the second-oldest scoring champion in NBA history and the oldest since Michael Jordan (35) in 1997-98. Curry dropped 32 a night on an incredible 48/42/91 shooting split while averaging a career-high 12.7 three-point attempts per game.
He scored a total of 2051 points in the season to narrowly edge out Bradley Beal. That was Curry's second scoring title, and he now has the two most efficient scoring titles in NBA history. He won the other one in 2015-16, when he averaged 30.1 points per game on an absurd 50/45/90 shooting split.
#2 Three-point contest champion

Stephen Curry is widely regarded as the greatest shooter in NBA history. So winning the three-point contest is something everyone expects him to do with ease.
Former legendary players like Dwyane Wade and Reggie Miller declared before the contest that everyone else, other than Curry, was shooting for second place. However, Utah Jazz's Mike Conley certainly made Curry sweat, scoring 27 points in the championship round. The championship came down to the final ball, with Curry scoring 28 points to win.
That was Stephen Curry's second three-point contest title. He won his first in 2015, and narrowly lost in 2016 and 2019. He also won the NBA Skills Challenge in 2011.
Curry dedicated his 2021 three-point contest trophy to his Splash brother, Klay Thompson, saying, "This one goes out to Klay Thompson".
#1 Stephen Curry won the 2021 ESPY award for Best NBA Player
Stephen Curry has been breaking records and dropping jaws all year. He was named the Best NBA Player at the 2021 ESPY awards.
'ESPY' stands for Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly, and it is the ABC network's annual event. Curry won this honor for the second time in his career, doing so for the first time in 2015.
Curry's first nomination for an ESPY award was during his sophomore season in college with the Davidson Wildcats. He was a nominee in the Breakthrough Player of the Year category that year.
Curry won two ESPY awards in 2015 - Best NBA Player and Best Male Athlete - and was nominated for the Best Record-Breaking Performance in 2016.
