2. His highlight reel is unreal

If he’s not passing the ball without looking, breaking Chris Paul’s ankles or draining ridiculous three-pointers, Curry is always making Sportscenter’s top-10 plays. There is so much that makes up Curry as a player, but the fact that he is always the subject of conversation after an amazing play is something to behold.

Any guy who can make plays like that and barely even celebrate like it’s just something of the norm definitely deserves some type of recognition.

Curry’s innate ability to find the open spot on the court, run to it, make moves in the process and drain a shot is almost unbelievable. It’s like he’s slithers through defenders all snake-like and makes himself the most important and lethal guy on the floor without even trying.

If you watch Curry’s film and see him as anything less than amazing, you must not know too much basketball because he’s a magician on the hardwood. It’s hard to find anyone in the past who compares to him as he might be the first of his kind in NBA history.
