Stephen Curry was often overlooked growing up. Despite being Dell Curry’s older son and clearly inheriting his sweet shooting stroke, most scouts didn’t think of him asstar material. That’s why he attended a small program in Davidson and slipped all the way to the seventh spot in the NBA Draft. Fast-forward to today, and all the teams that passed on him must be regretting that decision, as he turned out to be one of the most influential players in basketball history and the greatest shooter of all time.
Recently, Ray Allen snubbed him from that distinction, claiming that his mindset is different because he plays with the ball on his hand, and calling Reggie Miller the best shooter ever. The stats, however, say otherwise.
And, after the Golden State Warriors beat the Orlando Magic at home thanks to his 10 three-pointers, Curry proved once again that there’s no one to come close to him when it comes to knocking down shots from beyond the arc.
