I don’t know how you can watch Steph Curry and hate. Does anybody hate on this guy? It’s impossible right? We know he’s had his lumps early in his career with the ankle problems and all that. He has pushed himself, applied himself and now it’s paying off.
Is that not the American Dream?
Barack Obama, noted Chicagoan and ride or die Bulls fan, has been swept up in the Stephen Curry wave and he is putting him on MJ’s level in terms of enjoyment.
“Steph Curry is the greatest shooter that I’ve ever seen,” President Obama said, recalling a late February game during which Curry scored 46 points, tied an NBA record of hitting 12 three-pointers in a single game and helped his team win a playoff spot six-weeks ahead the cutoff. “I am having more fun watching him than anybody since Michael Jordan.”
But the President would not go so far as to say that Curry was better than Michael Jordan, who Obama grew up watching play for the Chicago Bulls. “Even Steph wouldn’t necessarily say he’s better than Jordan,” Obama said. “It’s rare where you get somebody who’s already at the pinnacle and then they take it a notch higher.”
Because we all know MJ is untouchable.
Steph Curry is not Michael Jordan, because they’re different. Same with LeBron James, he isn’t Jordan, he’s LeBron. Steph Curry is Steph Curry, and he’s fun as hell to watch.
