came at the expense of the Golden State Warriors.
The Cavaliers were able to severely limit Stephen Curry in the Nov. 8 blowout win, holding him to 12 points in 24 minutes.
However, that does not mean Curry’s presence wasn’t felt.
Cleveland guard Ty Jerome—who was a teammate of Curry’s during the 2022-23 campaign—has revealed what makes the four-time NBA champion such a difficult player to deal with.
“The difference that Steph has, and I’ve never seen before, is that when he gives it up, you truly can’t relax for a second because he just takes off,” Jerome said on SiriusXM NBA Radio. ” … If you relax for a second, it’s a 3, literally every time. Yeah, his pace, his awareness off the ball, his ability to move off the ball. … I don’t want to call him a system player, I think he is the system.”
Curry is not only likely the best shooter in NBA history, but he is one of the greatest players to ever pick up a basketball, period.
Even at the age of 36, Curry is still averaging 22.4 points per game while hitting 44.4 percent of his three-pointers, the latter of which is his best mark since his MVP-winning 201
5-16 campaign.
