James Harden was the runner up, but Curry blew his competition out of the water:

His teammate, Klay Thompson, trailed behind with 239.
Steph's 286 threes give him sole possession of the record for most threes in a season.
Curry also led the league in the following categories:
- 3-point attempts: 646
- Steals: 163
- Free-throw percentage: .914
- Value over replacement player: 7.9
He averaged 23.8 points per game through the regular season, and has averaged 31.5 points per game through five playoff games this postseason.
Steph's 44% 3-point percentage trails just two players in league history: Hubert Davis, and his current coach, Steve Kerr (.45.4%).
Here are a few more reasons Steph is undoubtedly the MVP, by the numbers:

John Urschel’s NFL career gives him a larger platform to explore his other passion: math.
John Urschel is the quintessential mathlete.
The 23-year-old guard for the Baltimore Ravens has a masters in mathematics from Penn State, which he earned while keeping a 4.0 average.
During last night's first round of the 2015 Draft, Urschel took over General Electric's twitter account to livetweet advanced calculations about players' speed, agility, and strength.
The formula Urschel used is complex to those of us not versed in advanced mathematics, but the impact is simple: Titans wide receiver Hakeem Nicks has a job catching passes that would cause most of us to duck and hide.
Baton Rouge police have asked to question former LSU offensive lineman La’El Collins regarding his ex-girlfriend’s death. Police, though, have reportedly said he is not currently a suspect.
Once projected to be a first-round pick, offensive lineman La'El Collins now wants to withdraw from the 2015 NFL Draft hours before it's set to begin.

Collins was contacted by the Baton Rouge police on Tuesday after his ex-girlfriend Brittney Mills was killed on Friday.
Mills was pregnant at the time of her death, but the child she was carrying survived. Police told NFL.com reporters that they are trying to determine the child's paternity.
Pointing out that they don't believe Collins had been in contact with Mills since September 2014, police said he is not currently a suspect in the homicide.
Collins has flown back to Louisiana from Chicago, where the NFL Draft takes place this weekend, to arrange a meeting with investigators.
Projected as a first-round draft pick, NFL teams have reportedly started to shy away from Collins in the wake of his association with Mills' death. Glazer reports teams want a "full police report clearing him before they are willing to draft him."
As a result, Collins' agent wants the NFL to allow him to back out of the 2015 draft, but Sports Illustrated reporter Andrew Brandt says getting league approval for that decision would be an "uphill battle."
The Supplemental Draft is intended to allow underclassmen who did not enter the main draft but who cannot continue their college career to enter the league. Collins does not fit that criteria, but it is clear his agent sees requesting the switch as a better solution than entering his currently "undraftable" client into Thursday night's mix.
The first round of the draft begins Thursday at 8 p.m. ET.
