There aren’t enough superlatives to describe Stephen Curry. He’s a transcendent icon who has single-handedly changed how basketball is played. His otherworldly shooting prowess is incomparable and irreplicable. Curry’s 3-point mastery has shaped the NBA as we know it today. The mere threat of his presence forces defenses to alter their game plan. All eyes must be on No. 30 constantly when he’s on the court. If you give him an ounce of room, there will be repercussions.

Not only is Curry a long-range sniper, but he also has elite vision, creativity and handles. Once you collapse on him, you’re at his mercy. The options are boundless — whether putting opponents in a blender or finding the open man. Defense has never been a calling card for him as an undersized floor general, but the once-in-a-lifetime talent isn’t a liability on that end. Opponents aren’t relentlessly trying to attack or seek out matchups against him.
Also known as the “Baby-Faced Assassin,” Curry is a cold-stone killer in the clutch. Usually, he’s all smiles and has a beloved, bubbly personality. But when the stakes are high, his intensity levels rise to match the magnitude of the moment. Overall, we will never see someone like him again.
