Going 18-28 from the field, including 11-13 from three point range. Filthy. Disgustible. I wish I could shoot like Steph Curry. I would like nothing more in life than to have his shooting stroke. But he didn't stop at 54 points, he also dropped 7 dimes, 6 assists, and 3 steals. Like the boss he is. Golden State needs to give that man something to work with, because he can take them somewhere That is, if he stays away from picking fights with centers (*cough* Roy *cough* Hibbert *cough* *cough*).
I think the most impressive ability in Curry's armada of basketball expertise is his transition shooting. If you did catch any of the game Thursday, you'd know that quite a few of Curry's points came off of 20+ footers during fast breaks. The best part is when he starts backpedaling as soon as he comes down from the jumpshot. He just knows. When he's on, and he's feeling it, it's a good time. Life is nice. The world is at peace.
The NBA needs more players like Steph Curry, but unfortunately, the sharpshooter is too often forgotten about in professional basketball. Jimmer Fredette, Jason Terry, Rashard Lewis, Ray Allen, Jason Kapono, all of these players have struggled to find their roles in recent years. But there is hope. You too can save not only the careers and importance of these players, but the well-being of their franchises as well. Start today. Write a letter. Buy a jersey. Hit those forums. And hope that soon, Curry will make those 54 points look small.
