      Kobe had such a love for learning and would show respect to anybody that deserved it in some. He didn't waste words or time saying useless stuff he just was honest and a all around great guy. His knowledge was just from caring enough to listen to somebody that knows more about something. If everybody acted like kobe and was just true to themselves the world would be full of intelligence and respect. Half the world wound not get by just ruining the country with their voting and thoughts. People would not just say anything stupid they would be humiliated and called out. The world would not be so sensitive to stupidity. That is one thing I try to make sure I do treat people the way I want to be treated. I appreciate somebody saying hey your wrong

      The sad thing is that this is very true… it is definitely more likely natural ability will bring one success rather the. one applying hard work to reach success.
      We can all be Curry like, but nobody wants to do that work; as my man Ronnie Coleman said, “everybody wanna be big, but nobody want to lift no heavy azz weight”.

    The humility of someone like Gilbert Arenas....when you know, when you've realized that someone has taken what you started, and mastered it, is when you not only admit it but you defend them when someone tries to call them out because they're not there to defend themselves...yea...I'm just in awe of what Gilbert was suppose to be, how humble he is now, he's the truest athlete I've seen in a long time...you know your time is up, and you had that nature in you, but you pay respects when you see it in someone else...Kobe saw it too and said this dude is scary and not many see why, why he's REALLY scary..it's not just the shooting, it's the way he is when he plays and while he shoots, he can shimmy after a make and then right back into that glare of focus, and he's seldom rattled....I'd love to get into shape again and play against this guy

      Steph Curry shooting a shot, then turning around to run up court is good and bad. It's bad because when he misses the Warriors are caught with a 4 on 5,but it's cool because he is ahead, ready for an outlet pass for a fast break.

    People only focus on his shooting. Point is, curry is an amazing finisher, defender and on top of it all, an incredible team player. His game IQ is crazy high and he always manages to lead his team to victory, even when he is not shooting threes all the time. He does that through screening, and since he is a real threat, he always draws a lot of defense to him, which opens up space for his teamates. Right now he is the best player in the league by far, and because he is such a COMPLETE player, I believe that he deserves to be part of the GOAT conversation.

One year we were a 3 seed i believe with a good squad and Davidson was a 15 seed. I heard of curry a lil throughout the year and definitely during march madness, so i was excited that my team had the chance to beat him. His Davidson squad played my badgers and curry went for over 30 and BLEW the badgers out. I just remember NEVER seeing or hearing about someone who could shoot like he did. The shots he took even in college, guys werent doing and he was making damn near half of them. Was my favorite player ever since. Became a fan (not my #1 team, clearly the bucks were) of golden state when i saw them in the playoffs and beat the grit n grind grizzlies being a "jump shooting team". They were just fun to watch and no one expected a team like that to actually win it all or dominate like they have but here we are lol No one will be like curry ever again.

Just makes you appreciate the greatness that was the Cavs vs Warriors finals so many times in a row. I wish the Cavs were fully healthy in 2015 and the Warriors were the same in 2016 and 2019.

    Lebron and Steph's relationship has finally come full circle lmao. Lebron use to be the biggest fan of Steph. Then 2014 happen and the player Lebron watched when he was 21 in davidson ended up becoming the biggest rival of his career, those two legitimately did not like each other because they were in each others way of the championship. Now fast forward to 2021 and they are the biggest fan of each other once again... imo THE GREATEST RIVALRY EVER. Their history legit stems back to Steph's college days.

    to this day I don't understand why KD left the Dubs? After what he just said about Steph. I remember when he reinjured his achilles tendon in the Finals vs Toronto. Steph was right there w/his arm around KD comforting him. Steph truly cared for KD. It wasn't FAKE. Steph wasn't hurt because now that KD isn't going play and they're going to lose. Steph was hurt because he was feeling for KD, like a brother and that was his main concern.

    I used to be a Curry “hater” before 2014 (I’m a spurs fan). Then once we got our title in 14 I was able to admit he is one of the greatest ever. 17 really pissed me off but that was all Zaza. Now there’s no denying he is a top 15 of all time player. Truly one of the most insane talents of all time (and people say he’s not an “elite athlete”. I call BS.
