After selecting James Harden as the inaugural MVP last year, Curry won MVP in addition to repeating as the Clutch Performer and Toughest to Guard (formerly "Hardest to Guard) in the 2016 NBPA Players Awards.

The Golden State Warriors as a whole won Best Homecourt Advantage on the strength of Oracle Arena's reputation for being packed with passionate fans that turn the place into Roaracle.

The full list of winners can be found in the table below.

Say what you will about the conclusion of the Warriors' season, but Curry's season was absolutely surreal and one heck of a ride to follow. Nevertheless, the NBPA's video Curry fanned the flames of all the obvious hot takes in his video for the Clutch Performer award.

Enjoy that Cleveland.
