Steph Curry was just a 10-year-old kid by the time Michael Jordan had won six NBA Championships. In fact, his father Dell Curry was playing for the Hornets (now an MJ-owned franchise) during those days in mid-1998. And now, the same kid has grown up and reached new heights to have the opportunity to interview the legend himself.

When the GSW leader channeled his inner Michael Jordan

MJ might or might not see Steph Curry as a Hall of Famer, but the latter has learned a lot from his idol over the years. During the 2020-21 season, Blazers’ Damian Lillard had made a comment regarding Curry, suggesting that he is no more the player he was 4-5 years ago. In their very next game, the Assassin dropped a career-high 62 points.

Later in the post-game conference, Curry revealed that he channeled that competitiveness from MJ. The 3x Champion made the following statement, “The Jordan meme, right. I take all that personally.”
