Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors is an eight-time All-Star, a two-time scoring champion, a three-time NBA champion, and has the most three-pointers in the history of the league.
Curry is so good that even if you were to ask someone who knows nothing about basketball about him they would say he’s one of the best shooters alive.
That’s an indisputable fact – especially when you look at other teams trying to defend him.

A series of images show how dangerous Curry is on the floor and how desperate others teams are to stop him.
Whenever Curry gets the ball – especially when he’s beyond the three-point line – his competition swarms.
They try to smother him, prevent his shot, and throw him off his game.
Sometimes they are successful but many times they are not.
No matter what they do, Curry can find a way to make his bucket.
Can’t Stop Steph
For the 2021-22 season, Curry has been averaging 25.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 6.3 assists a game.
He’s also been shooting 43.7% from the field.
They call him the baby-faced assassin for a reason – this guy can shoot daggers from all over the court and defending him can sometimes feel impossible.
But it’s not just Curry that teams need to look out for.
What makes the Warriors so special is that Curry has a bunch of great teammates ready to step up.
Klay Thompson is an example of this, as are Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins.
They are a fleshed-out team that has many powerful assets.
No matter what some people say, this team doesn’t begin and end with Curry.
And that’s why they are currently in the NBA Finals.
