Stephen Curry has impressed NBA fans, analysts, and even neutrals over the years. The Golden State Warriors star has also helped his franchise to remarkable success in the NBA. Alongside Curry, his teammate Klay Thompson has also remained a key player at the Warriors. Curry recently commented on a popular politician praising Klay over Curry.
Stephen Curry reacted to former US President Barack Obama’s comments, who opined that Klay’s jump shot prevailed superior to Curry’s. Curry responded to Obama on a ‘GQ Sports’ video titled ‘Stephen Curry Responds to Fans on the Internet’. In a surprising turn of events, Curry agreed with Obama as he joined him in praising Klay’s jump shot.
Curry said, “That is an actual fact, he said that, and I would also argue that he’s right. I would definitely classify Klay’s jumper as prettier. There are a lot of different ways to get it done.”
