Baby-Faced Assassin I The Story Behind Steph Curry

To fans of a certain age, who may only know an NBA where Steph Curry and the Warriors are a dominant force, you may think Curry's greatness - as the son of a pro baller in a family of shooters was preordained. But that's not how this story goes. So how did a barely recruited, wiry guard with bad ankles become a generational talent who literally changed the game?

"Basketball looks different today because of Wardell Stephen Curry II. If that's not a legacy, what the hell is."

Exactly. Durant may have played legendary in the 2017 and 2018 Finals, but it’s because of Curry that Golden State was led out of the gutter. Without him they’d still be a complete joke.

He is undoubtedly great! It is just that there are people who can't accept his way and keep on comparing his play on the way NBA was decades ago.

Thanks for Part 1 of Curry's journey to greatness! Warriors just added another ring by beating the Celtics 4-2 led by Curry's 34 points in the 2021-2022 NBA season to start Part 2 of Curry's continuing journey to infinity....and beyond!

[@danielhopper9581]

Steph's legacy is underrated because of what Durant did. Who knows what that team could have still done without Durant.

[@t3jf]

They still would of won if he was healthy

[@lepidoptery]

you say that like kd unilaterally went and joined then when they, including steph, actually went and recruited him. steph accepted the probable hit on his legacy in return for more certain rings. kd... probably didn't realize his image would take the hit it did even for the rings. XD

[@eyupdemir8123]

He has passed Isiah Thomas, Gary Payton, John Stockton, Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, Iverson, Westbrook, Rose, Robertson. In the point guard debate ; only Magic is in front of him. Three rings, 2 MVP, MVP of the best team ever, most important part of the best 5 year run in history. This dude is gonna be top 10 all time (excluding the bigs) . Top 20 all time easily. And he is gonna play next year with a great team maybe, if he wins 4th ring even in a 4-5 year span. He would even maybe catch Magic. 1 more ring puts him in a dinner table with Jordan and Lebron and Magic and Kareem and with KD probably if he wins 2 more with Nets

So you're gonna leave out Andrew Bogut missing games 5-7 in 2016, huh... People hear "LeBron came back from being down 3-1" and think of him as Hercules, when in reality GSW had to use backup centers in those closeout games who were so trash that they never played in the NBA again (Verajao and Ezeli). Imagine having no rim protection against LeBron and Kyrie and people still acting like you choked. Crazy.
