It’s mind boggling that fans like to doubt and hate on Steph when there are legitimate NBA players who struggle and praise him.

[drewdelucchi]

What I admire most about Steph’s game, is not his shooting, handling, or tear droppers, it’s his conditioning. Dudes stamina in game is unmatched.

[Unstressing]

steph traumatized the league, everybody is like don't let that dude get any kind of space don't let him breathe, and then even if you do he just gives it up to others and still drops 30 on your head

[evaday]

Lebron said you gotta guard him right when he step out the car 😂🤣

[lauracoffman]

Stephen Curry is the best in the NBA, today ❤❤❤

[debuchy]

With all the double teaming on him for almost 8 years and still perform at the highest level with his stature its unbelievable

[NN-rnoz]

Imagine a sniper, but he can shoot while he's running around. That's Steph.

[simonecole]

With all this praise and he was not a starter in this recent All Star please refer to him as 2 time unanimous MVP

[Rumplegirlskin]

The most amazing thing about Steph is that he learned the true physics of the game. If you can, watch his Masterclass. Steph is on another level.

[MrSports]

These Steph stories…really love them. I hate to think about it but when this guy retires…at least we have these video reminders of his greatness.

[brendajohnson]

I’m NOT even into SPORTS of any kind and EVEN I KNOW THAT STEPH CURRY IS PHENOMENAL. ❤

People say its "Levels" to the game. Steph put a whole other Level to the game. Consistent distance and accuracy are unbelievable. He's the ONLY player that gets double and triple teamed the whole game.
Lebron, Jokic, Embid, Tatum, Giannis, Luka...None of them gets overhauled like he does. He still gets no respect with foul calls either!!!
Curry been the best player in the league since the bubble season, and the 2015 and 2016 seasons.

[rcuasito]

Steph reminds of what Proximus said "I wasn't the best because I killed quickly, I was the best because the crowd loved me". When PG mentioned the crowd it reminded me of that even though he is the best shooter of all time.

[luellahobson]

When somebody you’re guarding doesn’t stop moving and you’re not conditioned for that it’s over! No one is saying you’re not good at what you do, you have to consider who you’re guarding!

[ariesalbert]

There are so many basketball greats and I'm sure Curry is among them. But for me, what separates him is that he has the biggest Basketball IQ among the greats.

[Bossman-pklf]

Stephen is the beast. He is the best in the league, and his snipers come out of nowhere. His movement is unbelievable for his age. Go, Stephen! Stay in shape and keep your head up.

[chty]

Its crazy when you consider these are the top 0.001% top players and they cant even guard him.. Also, imagine having to guard him (1 on 1) at half court.. That's insane.

[tacha]

I can't picture the nba when Steph my baby will retire. Love you Steph.
May God bless you angel always.

[oughtssought]

I've never met him so maybe I've got no right to an opinion but
having watched him on court &. in how many yrs of interviews as a Dubs fan
the dude seems by far the KINDest "assassin" I've seen

if this guy's got a mean streak it sure hasn't shown anywhere I've seen
