Absolutely sensational in Game 4 in Boston a few days ago, Stephen Curry once again tortured the opposing public through his countless banderillas. Fear, despair, even disgust, these are the kinds of feelings that cross the minds of fans when they cross paths with a burning Curry. And Steph obviously takes pleasure in observing their reactions after each award-winning shot. A real killer!
Stephen Curry is one of those rare players who truly transcends basketball. No matter where he goes, no matter where he plays, you feel a different atmosphere in the room each time the greatest sniper in the history of the orange ball treads the floor of the latter. This is perhaps how we recognize a generational player in the end. With his award-winning 43 points, 10 rebounds and 7 shots scored against the Celtics last Friday in Boston, Curry played perhaps his best playoff game of his career and continues to solidify his greatness by delivering an absolutely fantastic 2022 NBA Finals. The Beantown public was lucky – or rather unlucky – to witness one of the greatest feats ever achieved by this all-time player, which inspires both respect and fear. One only has to watch the fans’ reactions before and after Curry’s shots to understand how Steph terrorizes and abuses the opposing public with his baskets from another planet. Observing the way some supporters react to the highlights they have just seen, even more so when it’s a visiting player, is always fun (except for the victims of course). And Steph himself enjoys seeing that. Yesterday in press conference, Curry was asked about the aspects he particularly watched when he watched the video of the previous match. And in the middle of the tactical aspects and potential adjustments to be made, the Baby Face admitted that he often took a look at the reactions in the stands.
” It’s cool. You watch the video and there are a lot of different emotions because you know the result of the game. Whether you had a good match or not, you always know what happens in the end. It’s like watching the end of a movie. It’s always nice to know that it’s going to end well. […]
I also like to watch the reactions of the public, the bench and that kind of thing. It’s always very entertaining. »
We see Celtics fans holding their heads with both hands, others hiding their faces, while the few Warriors fans who have made the trip to Boston exult in front of each of his exploits. No doubt, the Curry experience is still something. It’s a simply unique experience, as unique as the player themselves. Stephen Curry is obviously not the first superstar to unleash passions, but he is the first to do it in this way : by chaining winning shots from absolutely everywhere, by being formidable both with and without the ball, by always finding a way to take the opposing team by default through his skill, his technique and his incessant movements. The Celtics, who nevertheless have the best NBA defense, have still not managed to solve the equation to hope to slow it down, and it is above all for this reason that the Finals can switch to one side or the other. today when Boston seemed to have the upper hand. The Curry effect what…
Stephen Curry obviously leaves no one indifferent. Whether you’re a Warriors fan or a poor supporter of the team that faces Golden State on game night, he’s bound to inspire you. And that is clearly the hallmark of the greatest.
