Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry is officially the hardest player to guard in the NBA, at least according to his peers.
Fresh off capturing the NBA title, Curry won the Hardest to Guard award at the inaugural NBPA Players' Awards, beating out James Harden of the Houston Rockets, LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder for the honor.
Curry proved to be incredibly difficult to defend this season, averaging 23.8 points and 7.7 assists while shooting 48.7 percent from the floor. That included shooting an incredible 44.3 percent from beyond the arc, as Curry would go on to be named the league's MVP for the first time.
