NBA Finals | On Stephen Curry, far more than a great shooter
The Hindu
Winning his fourth NBA championship and his first Finals MVP, Steph Curry is not just the greatest shooter ever. It’s time to finally call him what he is — one of the greatest basketball players ever
Greatest shooter ever. That’s what everyone has been calling Golden State’s Stephen Curry for years now, for obvious reasons. Nobody in the history of basketball has made more 3-pointers or made the art of throwing a ball through a hoop look easier than Curry does.
He has earned that distinction. And it still seems like he has been undersold.

Thing is, Wardell Stephen Curry II is not just the greatest shooter ever. It’s time to finally call him what he is — one of the greatest players ever. Go ahead, put him in the Greatest Of All Time conversation. It’s a debate that will never end anyway, and he has earned the right to be there for one simple reason.
He has changed the game. The 3-pointer is vital now, and Curry made it that way.
“I think he’s pretty much established what he can do," Warriors guard Klay Thompson said after the NBA Finals ended Thursday night with Golden State as champions and Curry as Finals MVP. “But to see him earn that, he’s one of the greatest ever and we all followed in his lead and gosh, that was awesome. What a series."
Yes, what a series Curry had. And what a player, too.
