It is safe to say that Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is amongst the top players in the NBA right now. Coming off winning his fourth championship with the Warriors franchise, ‘Chef Curry’ is kicking back this off-season whilst also prepping for the upcoming one. 

Arguably the best shooter in league history, Curry’s long-range bombs are a sight to see. His shooting from beyond the range is almost as effortless as it can be. Ending the 2021-2022 season with the 3rd seed in the Western Conference, the Warriors finished the season with a 53-29 record.

Stephen Curry keeps pouring it in

And this is after Klay Thompson, the other half of the ‘Splash Brothers’ duo ended up missing more than half of the games last year. Thompson only played 32 games during the regular season so it was down to Curry and his insane shooting that kept the Warriors not just afloat but ahead of many other teams in the NBA.

Curry kicked it up a notch this last season. He ended the season with an average of 25.5 PPG, 5.2 RPG, and 6.3 APG.
