Stephen a should have put himself leading ESPN to greatness

[OffTopicKamah]

[leftbenchplayaa]

Steph Curry still being one of the most hated players in sports is still one of the funniest things to me. What a fucking legend.

Meta World Peace led his team in a fist fight against the Pistons crowd. Now that's leadership

[littlesame]

💯 agree, warriors is my rival but Curry is goat, a selfless player who gives his all rain or shine, doesn’t req early reg season resting and will grind through muds for his teammates; he’s loyal to one team which is rare and unappreciated nowadays.
Selfless player is a gem in the 21 century

Max how rude to interrupt Steph Curry's props from Steven A #1 sports announcer. Great job Steven A. Smith. Steph #1, blessed healing SC, no rush.

I agree with Stephen A on this one and for the reasons that he listed. A lot of superstars aren't willing to take a back seat even if it's for the best for their team. Curry's a great leader because he takes himself out of the equation and thinks about what will benefit his team, not just himself. Plenty of people didn't know if it would work but he made it work. He shared his practice court with KD, constantly talked about how great of a player he is and did everything in his will power to make him feel comfortable on the team. Kudos to SAS for recognizing that some great leaders can lead by example selflessness and a team-first mentality.

You know it's bad when Molly is the best thing in a video.

[dollarize]

Tim Duncan is the best leader in the NBA the last two decades, doesn’t get the credit because he’s not glamorous or playing in a big market

[nataliegonzalez]

Don't forget Stephen A. Smith who is a great communicator and inspires everyone who plays the game or involved in the game of sports.
