If there is ever a player who changed the way the game is played, it’s Stephen Curry. Number 30 for the Golden State Warriors is a generational talent who expanded the game in terms of how it is played. He took advantage of the value of the three-pointer to an extent that three-point shooting is a must-have skill for any player in today’s NBA. Hence, it is no one’s surprise that Curry was included in the NBA’s 75th Anniversary Team as one of the All-Time greats. Moreover, many consider him as the best shooter ever.

In a recent episode of the ‘Point Forward’ podcast, Andre Iguodala spoke to Stephen Curry about the latter’s greatness as a player. The discussion began with Iggy and co-host Evan Turner, explaining that they felt Curry was a player on a different level as compared to the others. Iggy then stated how he had to humble himself and work hard in comparison to the greats. Furthermore, he compared Curry’s confidence with that of Kanye West.

“Let me know my stuff before I walk in here because I don’t have ‘that’ to just walk in here and say ‘Open the door. I’m coming in,'” said Iguodala on himself.

“For you (Stephen Curry), I’m like, ‘Go kick down the door.’ But you’re just a humble dude, I’m just like ‘Do he know? Or is he just too nice?'” he added on Curry.

Clearly, Curry carries himself with a sense of humility. Unlike Kanye, who walks in exerting his confidence, Curry appears to show his confidence in action when he plays. Furthermore, both Iggy and Turner added that greats like Curry are present to break barriers and inspire others.

Maybe it’s Curry’s work ethic that keeps him humble. During his early years, the sharpshooter did not enjoy much success and endured several injuries. Yet, he was able to prove himself and literally changed the game. Not everyone can do that. There are only a select few who stand out from the rest. Stephen Curry is one of them.
