Stephen Curry is a superstar (#duh) but winning back-to-back MVP<\/strong> awards puts him in very rarified air. Over the course of the 60 years the honor has existed, only 11 different players have ever taken home the title of league’s best in consecutive seasons. Focusing on the 2000s, see who’s won MVP back-to-back and what they wore.<\/p>\n

Tim Duncan<\/h2>\n

Though Tim Duncan is as team-oriented of a superstar as it gets, he’s also been among the league’s top individual performers for just about his whole career. In 2002, Timmy took home his first MVP in his last Nike shoe, the Air Max Duncan 2, followed up by another MVP title in 2003 as a member of adidas, rotating models throughout the season.<\/p>\n

Steve Nash<\/h2>\n

Will there ever be another Steve Nash? While the point guard position has changed dramatically in the last few years and taken to new heights (literally and figuratively), nobody could flip the axis of the court quite like #13. Getting Amare and others easy baskets while in the desert, Nash was a low-top fan pre-Kobe, wearing the Nike Zoom Drive and Nike Air Uptempo Motion in back-to-back title wins before getting his fittingly titled “Zoom MVP” signature the season after.<\/p>\n

LeBron James<\/h2>\n

\nKicks:<\/strong> Nike Zoom LeBron 6 & Nike Air Max LeBron 7<\/p>\n

King James was roundball royalty before he signed a Nike contract, but he proved to be the best of the best in 2009 and 2010 when he took home consecutive MVP trophies. The Nike Zoom LeBron 6 and Zoom LeBron 7 would both see accolade driven colorways, while LeBron would also lace up Soldier and PS models during postseason play.<\/p>\n

He did it again? Yup. Making the move to South Beach, LeBron James took home titles in the Nike LeBron 9 and Nike LeBron X. Both shoes would be attached to winning more than just MVP honors and would also see postseason Elite updates.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Stephen Curry<\/h2>\n

Chef Curry has proved best in the kitchen for two years straight. While he gets love in The Bay like Mac Dre, Under Armour is just as stoked as Oakland is as the remarkable play has come in his first two signature sneakers.<\/p>\n
