The Night Steph Curry Turned Into A Monster: 'We Birthed An Animal' | ALL THE SMOKE

What’s not talked about here is Steph solving the ankle issues that plagued him early in his career. Being able to move without fear of injury/setbacks caused his confidence to grow exponentially.

Real shit, people don’t talk about that 💯💯💯

[@juwelzbluntz]

He was already supremely confident, he just needed to get healthy. Confidence was never an issue for Curry, just look at what he did at Davidson.

[@ameliabedelia7018]

@hasanjonz Chile what is exponentially?

[@Jry088]

From what I've seen he changed the way he approach the game. Remember at one time there was a debate between Steph and Kyrie on who has the best handles? Steph went away from that shifty player and expanded his range and stepbacks. Then he started bulking up so now he can just muscle his way in instead of relying so much on changing directions.

[@Kings_Landing_Serf]

He also tightened his handles. His handles were a bit loose b4 2015.

Ngl steph has been that way regardless of this story or what imán js talking about it’s not about him just “getting happy” or gaining confidence that confidence has been instilled in him since the jump through work ethic.

The crazy thing about that game, when Steph dropped 54, is it took him years to finally break his own goddamn points record. I think he got a 60 piece like 6 years later lol I thought he would've topped himself sooner than that, though. Fortunately, Steph was (and still is) a team player. His individual stats aren't as important to him as winning rings. That's exactly why him and KD worked well together. He was happy to move aside for another great shooter to get the spotlight.
