Basketball legend and one of the best sharpshooters of all-time Stephen Curry is known for his ability to influence any given game at his own will and for his impeccable shooting antics that continue to dazzle the NBA fraternity.
The superstar’s influence on the game has been beyond fathomable, with as many little kids looking up to Curry’s playstyle and shooting antics. Recently, the player addressed the accusations against him through his TikTok profile, which he updated not a long time ago.
Stephen Curry addresses serious accusations
Anyone who watches basketball can see that the number of three-pointers being shot is increasing steadily. Along with its rise in quantity, the three-pointer’s significance has skyrocketed, with due importance being given to plays revolving around the shot behind the arc.
There is one man who is arguably solely responsible for the drastic shift of the league from a physical league to a shooting league and that is the Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry. Curry’s rise to stardom came through his ability to knock down shots from deep, regardless of the distance and the number of people guarding him. With Curry continuously knocking down shots, opposition teams were forced to change their playstyle, calling for a higher frequency in the three-pointer in order to keep up with the Golden State Warriors.
Following Curry, teams around the league eventually sought out shooting players and modern bigs—centers who can shoot the ball fluently. For his ability to influence the league through his shooting, Stephen Curry is very often accused of ruining basketball for the league’s transitioning from a very aggressive league to a largely shooting league.
By updating the bio of his TikTok account, Curry addressed the accusations charged against him without mincing any words. On his bio, Curry very candidly said, “Did not, in fact, ruin basketball.” Despite Curry’s statement, there is no doubt the superstar played a significant role in revolutionizing the sport of basketball.
Curry comments on retirement
The All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis saw the basketball fraternity witness Stephen Curry’s greatness again after the superstar beat the WNBA’s finest Sabrina Ionescu in the inaugural ‘Steph vs Sabrina’ three-point contest. While this was Curry’s first selection as a non-starter, the player continues to thrive in the league, carrying the Golden State Warriors on his back through their fixtures.
Over the star-studded All-Star weekend, Stephen Curry gave Curry and Warriors fans nightmares while he broke his silence on his retirement. Speaking on his potential retirement, Curry said, “I think about it all the time. But the thoughts stop because you gotta get ready for the next game and there’s a routine and a cycle that goes where you embrace the now.”
The ten-time All-Star added, “Eventually, you’ll get to a point where you’ll wake up and whatever your body is telling you and whatever your mind is telling you it’s time, but I don’t think I’m anywhere close to that.”
This season, Curry has shown no signs of slowing down, continuing his everlasting dominance on the court through impressively accurate three-pointers that continue to bolster the Warriors. Leading the Warriors, Curry is averaging a massive 28 points per game along with 4.4 rebounds and 5 assists per game in his 15th NBA season.
Curry’s dedication to the sport continues to grow with each passing year and it is going to be a very sad day when the superstar decides to bid farewell to basketball and the Golden State Warriors for good.
