There have always been legends of basketball who have changed the game. Michael Jordan inspired millions with his dunks, Kobe Bryant inspired millions with his “Mamba Mentality,” and LeBron James inspired millions with his all-around ability. But when it comes to long-distance shooting, one man wields the scepter: Stephen Curry, the king of 3-pointers.
Curry has truly reshaped basketball into an unbelievable shooting exhibit. When kids grow up today, they do not just dream of dunking; they do so from half-court — all because of Steph. These highlights are not just highlights; they are also lessons of skill, confidence and revolution.
This article will take you through Curry’s greatest highlights, the unique games in which he plays, moments that defined his career, and his impact on basketball culture.
The Rise Of Stephen Curry
Every highlight has a storyline, and no one expected Curry to do what he has done in the NBA. Curry was too small, too skinny, and not athletic enough to be a great NBA player in the opinions of scouts. But there is one thing that scouts cannot measure; there is one attribute that is worth its weight in gold: Curry's shooting touch is unparalleled.
While attending Davidson in college, Curry shocked everyone in the NCAA tournament by scoring 40 or more points against top schools.
During the 2009 NBA Draft, Curry was selected 7th overall by the Golden State Warriors, but many questioned whether he could even survive and establish himself in the league.
Shortly into the beginning of his career, he dealt with several ankle injuries and came close to ruining his career before it even started.
However, Curry worked on his body, his strength, and his game. Soon, it became commonplace for his highlights to be featured on sports news, and the NBA had to adjust.
