On December 15, Beijing time, the NBA regular season, the Warriors won 105-96 away to the Knicks. In this game, Stephen Curry hit five three-pointers, surpassing Ray Allen in total three-point shooting, becoming the first three-pointer in NBA history. After the game, Curry received blessings from all walks of life.
In fact, don't look at Curry from a basketball family, his father Dale Curry was the best sixth person in the NBA. But his basketball career hasn't been very smooth. When he went to college, no one at the top schools wanted to give him scholarships, and eventually he had to go to Davidson College. The university is not a major U.S. basketball school, and has produced only 6 NBA players. After 2000, Only Curry entered the NBA.
And when it comes to the NBA draft, Curry is recognized as a lottery show. But on his scouting report, there are 15 shortcomings. Curry is criticized for not being a true organizational defender, sometimes losing control, poor shooting choices, oscillating between 1-2 positions, questionable defensive ability, speed of lateral movement, insufficient diversity in different defensive positions, limited ceiling, substitutes or marginal starts (levels), the university system makes it difficult for him to evaluate, athleticism is mediocre, body size is flat, arm spread is flat, prone to injury, too dependent on outside shooting.
Objectively speaking, this scouting report is very true, and when Curry first entered the league, there were indeed these problems. But with the constant grinding, Curry is now a superstar in the league. His body has become stronger, his defensive ability has improved, and he has redefined modern basketball by relying on one-handed shooting skills. Through this basketball report, we can appreciate the greatness of Curry.
