Roar from crowd for Curry as MVP brings down the house [...] when Oracle’s own undersized Most Valuable Player took the floor, the noise built up from a half-century of waiting was unleashed inside the arena. Seeing their beloved Stephen Curry win the NBA’s highest honor took loud to a new level. Adam Silver, a commissioner who is shockingly not detested like most league chiefs, strode to midcourt of Oracle, where he presented Curry with the not quite life-size MVP trophy, the first earned by a Warrior since Wilt Chamberlain won it in Philadelphia in 1960. Maybe to prove that he’s a lot stronger now than the little kid he was with the ugly catapult shot because he wasn’t even strong enough to lift the ball over his head. The MVP trophy. [...] the Warriors franchise to new heights. The Warriors had a tough game Tuesday night against the Grizzlies, losing 97-90. Not surprising, considering the emotions of the past two days, along with the Memphis Grizzlies’ determination and the toughness of their injured point guard Mike Conley. The intense playoff game had an epic, historic pregame set-up. Another, Buster Posey — the Bay Area’s last MVP — offered a taped message of congratulations on the scoreboard. Larry Riley, the man responsible for drafting Curry back in 2009, had no idea he was drafting an MVP. Hill, picked eighth by the Knicks, has gone on to have an unremarkable NBA career. When Curry joined the Warriors, Monta Ellis promptly — on media day before training camp even began — said it was an unworkable combination. In the pregame video tribute to Curry, his teammates spoke about him. Among the words they used to describe him: lethal, monster, amazing, genuine. Who can’t like a guy who chokes up talking about his father as his role model. Who uses his own stage to make a subtle pitch for his teammate Draymond Green to get a big payday.
