Stephen Curry, a 6’2” star basketball player, recently won four championships, and was also given the NBA Finals MVP award.
Curry has been a promising and consistent player for the past eight years. Teammates like Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala have expressed their appreciation and gratitude towards the irreplaceable player.
Even though most of his opponents are at least 6’7”, Curry still manages to, in Iguodala’s words, “dominate the league” with his exceptional shooting and offense. Curry is a very experimental player; he’s very creative and inventive with his plays. He also plays with a lot of situational awareness.
The Golden State Warriors head coach, Steve Kerr, compares Steph Curry to Tim Duncan, a player also known as the “the Big Fundamental.” He says they are both humble, and great leaders. Curry joined the recruiting efforts for Kevin Durant in 2016. He was both skilled, and tall, which contrasted with Curry’s stature. When Durant left in 2019, Curry decided to help recruit younger players in the hopes that they could help lengthen the older players’ careers by both keeping them in the game, and keep the attention on the team.
Stephen Curry shows incredible showmanship and genuine enjoyment out on the court. Even with his small size, he has become immortal in NBA history.
