Stephen Curry has been instrumental for the Warriors over the years. In their every successful season, he has been the front runner in terms of contributing to the team. Steph has been the face of the Warriors pretty much since his debut. He has not only evolved the Warriors’ game but also changed the approach of many others who play the game of basketball. He has made the game his own and has proved his shooting prowess time and again.

Steph is a player with absolutely no bad blood with any other player as such. This only proves how good he is on and off the court. He has much rather left many NBA stars speechless and in utter disbelief with his shooting ability. One such player at the receiving end of Steph’s brilliance was Paul George.

“I think you just have to know where he is at. He’s so good, he’s got the complete package offensively… He’s mastered how to get free without dribbling the ball, he’s just so elusive and quick. One second you look away, he’s gone.” Paul George said in his post-game interview.

He continued, “He shoots it so quick that you can’t allow him to get free. That’s just what it is, when he gets going like that, you gotta just crowd him and try to force him to play into his body. You gotta try to wear him out.”
