Steph Curry changed the NBA with his superb shooting skills and his passion for basketball that propelled his career worldwide.
The Golden State Warriors superstar was part of the NBA 75th Anniversary Team because of the way he transform basketball. “Welcome to a world where 3-pointers rain, where ankles are sprained, where defenders are left frazzled, and fans are left dazzled.” Shaun Powell, NBA writer, described in an article.
“He might not be the strongest player, nor the biggest, nor the quickest, nor the most physically gifted. And yet when Curry takes the stage he is in full command. His skills and tenacity allow him to put on a show” every night, Powell added.
Steph Curry joins Milwaukee Bucks in prayer
The Golden State Warriors faced the Milwaukee Bucks at Fiserv Forum in Wisconsin Monday night in a game that saw two NBA juggernauts going at on the court. The Warriors were lead by Curry, recently added Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green and Buddy Hield.
Meanwhile, Milwaukee was led by Damian Lillard, Kyle Kuzma and Taurean Prince. Curry and Lillard each scored 38 points leading their respective teams in the Warriors’ 125-111 win over the Bucks.
Curry scored in double figures in three of the four quarters and put an exclamation mark on his stellar night with a lethal crossover and stepback jumper over Kyle Kuzma in the final frame. Steph scored 30 points for the fourth consecutive game, his longest 30-point streak since Dec. 2021.
But the highlight of the game happened between dribbles, when Curry saw the Bucks players praying in the middle of the court and he didn’t think twice and joined them in the huddle. Lillard saw that his rival was trying to join them and he opened his arms so that he could pray, too. It was a very touching moment that shows why Steph‘s the ultimate NBA player.
The Warriors have two more games before the All-Star break, facing the Mavericks in Dallas on Wednesday and the Rockets in Houston on Thursday. The Dubs will be hosting All-Star Weekend at Chase Center from Friday through Sunday.
Warriors want to improve for the second half of the season
The Golden State Warriors are just one game over .500, which puts them in 10th place of the Western Conference, behind young teams like the Sacramento Kings, Minnesota Timberwolves, Houston Rockets or the Memphis Grizzlies.
And their newest addition could help them move up on the ladder. Jimmy Butler‘s arrival in Golden State marks the end of a dramatic chapter with the Miami Heat, where tensions between the star forward and the franchise led to his indefinite suspension.
At 35 years old, Butler is now joining forces with Curry and Green, both four-time NBA champions, as the Warriors look to make one more title push before the window closes on their dynasty.
His immediate chemistry with Curry was evident in their first game together, leaving many in the Western Conference on high alert. If Butler seamlessly fits into the Warriors’ system, Golden State could quickly reemerge as a legitimate championship contender.
