Steph Curry is one of the best players in the NBA. He has been the talisman for a Golden State Warriors team that has dominated the better half of the last decade.
The Dubs might not be their dominant self this season, but they have remained a team in playoff contention due to the splendid form of the 33-year-old Curry. The 2-time MVP is having a fantastic season.
In the 36 games he has played, he is averaging 29.3 points, 6.2 assists and 5.4 rebounds per game. Steph recently made his seventh All-Star appearance. There, the 33-year-old opened up about his legacy in a post game interview. Curry said, “I have a lot to accomplish, I don’t have anything to prove there’s a little.”

“There’s a little subtle difference there, but um, what drives me is just having fun. I truly love to play basketball, I’m just, you know, appreciative and grateful that it’s at the highest level and I get to kind of still pursue a higher level of excellence on the court.”
With 7 All-Star appearances, 3 NBA championships and 2 regular season MVP trophies, only a handful of players have a better resume than Steph. Given how he is performing this season, if he can maintain this form, he will certainly add more accolades to his resume.

Green said, “Where I see him, No. 1, just like I said, I also look at it from his overall standpoint,” He added, “How he’s carrying all of that weight, and where I see him right now, is a completely different place than I’ve ever seen. It’s like he knows he’s great.”

The 31-year-old later clapped back at Steph’s doubters. “Like the statement said, ‘I don’t have anything to prove.’ That’s how he looks every single day. If you still want to question Steph’s legacy, the people who question Steph’s legacy don’t have a legacy of their own.”
Despite Steph’s amazing season, the Warriors have a record of 19 wins and 19 losses and are the ninth seed in the Western Conference. Can the Dubs make it to the playoffs this season?
