When playing the game of basketball some people got
to work to become great and for some it’s just genetics, for Stephen Curry
shooting seems to be genetic. As we know he is the son of Charlotte Hornets
All-Time leading Scorer Dell Curry. He comes from a family of shooters and isn't afraid of the big lights he grew up shooting in NBA Arenas in Charlotte, Toronto
and everywhere else between. He showed the NBA world on National television
that he is big time when he dropped 54 points in Madison Square Garden in a game
against the Knicks earlier this season. Steph showed us what he is capable of
this season when fully healthy.
This season was a great one for the Warriors Steph
Curry stayed Healthy, Harrison Barnes Developed and the team won 47 games and
became one of the more exciting teams to watch. A big part of that was the
health of the kid from Davidson. Many people forgot how talented he was and
began to question his toughness after all the struggles to stay on the court.
For the first time in his career Curry enters the
playoffs-where careers are made. The Warriors are a young and exciting team but
how far can he take them and can he elevate his game to become elite. Stephen
Curry showed everybody that he is a cerebral player in the regular season and
that he isn’t afraid of big shots, this is going to be a big test of Steph’s intensity
as we all know the playoffs are a whole different animal from the regular
season.
The Warriors enter the Playoffs as the #6 seed in
the Western Conference and face a Denver Nuggets team similar in playing style
to them. Pace control will be a big thing in this series and Steph will have to
outplay his opponent on the other end being Ty Lawson. If the Warriors can get
out in transition and let Curry play off the ball and get some good looks coming
off of screens then he is in a good position to do some damage this series.
When the Golden State Warriors got new owners they
promised that this franchise would return to championship form. Legends like Chris
Mullen, Nate Thurmond, Rick Barry and Wilt Chamberlain all made they’re mark in
warrior uniforms, Will Stephen Curry be able to leave one even greater and lead
the Warriors to become NBA Champions? It’s
all on him when the games on the line.
The NBA Playoffs begin April 20th as
Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors take on Ty Lawson and the #3 seed
Denver Nuggets.
