Steph Curry recently became the first unanimous MVP in NBA history.

He shattered the NBA record for most 3-pointers made in a season with 402.

Russell Westbrook isn't impressed.

"He's a shooter. He's not nothing I haven't seen," Westbrook told reporters on Monday morning.

The Warriors won all three regular season meetings against the Thunder.
