Steph Curry's been carrying the burden of being the NBA's "best player" all season. His body's just too frail to handle it.
LeBron James Unfairly Being Asked To Fix America's Race War
The reigning MVP left early from Saturday night's 111-108 OT victory over the Nuggets because he reinjured his left shin. He missed the two previous games with a left shin bruise suffered against the Kings on Monday.
The reinjury served as a reminder for the rest of the NBA.
Everybody forgot Steph Curry was actually injury prone....

Iman Shumpert Has The Best Handles In The NBA
In 2011, Curry had surgery on his right ankle to repair torn ligaments. The wear and tear of the 2011-12 campaign proved to be too much. He featured in only 26 regular season games, with his points average dropping to 14.7 per game.
Now, what was supposed to be a historic NBA season is being plagued by similar injury concerns -- concerns LeBron James never dealt with.
Contrary to popular belief, durability is as important as a player's ability. James has it in spades.
It's absolutely amazing how athletic and durable LeBron has been and still is after 12 seasons of play

James is 10th amongst active players in minutes played (36,843) and he's yet to suffer a major injury like Curry.
It's difficult to be the best when you're not on the court. Unlike Curry, it's a problem James to face.
