Stephen Curry is one of the finest outstanding figures in basketball history, a sport dominated by towering giants. The Golden State Warriors point guard is a fantastic three-point shooter. His capacity to alter the game’s dynamics at any time elevates him to the level of a superstar athlete. However, there is one prevalent fallacy that has long accompanied him: his height. Standing at 6 feet 3 inches tall, the sniper frequently faces opponents who tower over him in terms of height.

A similar scenario with height reappeared as the pictures of Steph Curry with the 6’4 WNBA star in the recent match went viral. Steph looked relatively taller with WNBA players.

Steph Curry has long been a fervent fan of the WNBA. The Golden State Warriors star is routinely seen attending games or interacting with WNBA players in person or over social media. Steph Curry and his wife Ayesha Curry attended the game against the reigning champs on Sunday. The duo appeared as the WNBA’s auxiliary personnel.

The official Instagram handle of Las Vegas Aces, in collaboration with WNBA, shared pictures of the couple with Aces stars. Aces thanked Currys for their constant support. “Thank you for coming through @stephencurry30 @ayeshacurry,” read the caption. But the most engaging part of the pictures was the height of Steph Curry among the players. Despite his average frame, Steph Curry looked incredibly tall among the WNBA players.

Probably the angle of the picture says it all, A’ja Wilson, who is 6’4, is definitely taller than Curry, as she has to bend down for a picture. But Kelsey Plum and Sydney Colson have a smaller frame than Steph Curry, which makes him look taller.

Steph Curry and his misconception of height

Steph is frequented as small in stature and length. When fans consider the ideal physical type for an NBA player, Steph Curry’s 6’2″ frame may not spring to mind. The Baby-Faced Assassin can slay any defender on the court, but it has nothing to do with his arm’s length. Steph has a 6’4″ wingspan, which is 6 inches less than the NBA average.

While Steph may seem little when playing with players several inches taller than him, his actual height is above average in a common room.

He says, “It’s not that deep but what people don’t realize is I am 6ft3 which is kind of above average height but when you see me out there with all the 6ft8, 6ft9, 7 footers, I look small. But when they see me in person, they are kind of surprised that I am taller in the court.”
