Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter in the history of basketball. The Golden State Warriors point guard who just won the NBA Finals MVP in June is on a hot streak right now. Steph recently also hosted the ESPYs. NBA Finals MVP was the one trophy that was missing from Steph’s illustrious cabinet, but now even that is complete. Steph and the Warriors have been the epitome of modern NBA for nearly a decade now.

But all that glitters is not gold. Early in his career, Steph battled multiple ankle injuries in the early part of his career. At one point of time, he was labeled an injury-prone player because of the frequency of how quickly injured he would become. Also, being a son of an ex-NBA player has it own strengths and weaknesses. While you can get recognized and be under pressure, there might be sometimes when the coaches might let you go easily because you are a former player’s son. But Dell Curry talked at length about this thing in a podacst episode.
