Stephen Curry is appreciative of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade after the two NBA legends heaped praise on the Golden State Warriors superstar and reminded the doubters how great he is.

After Curry exploded for 43 points in Game 4 to help the Warriors tie the NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics at 2-2, James and Wade were the first ones to react and share their amazement to the incredible performance from Curry. In fact, Wade went at his critics and emphasized how incredible Steph is despite what they say about him.

LeBron, for his part, agreed with Wade as he shared that no one can deny Curry's greatness–no matter how hard others try to. The Warriors sharpshooter is different for sure, but that what makes him a true basketball savant.

“FACTS!!! “THEY” will try to do anything in their powers to not acknowledge simply how “DIFFERENT he is! It’s Rare and rare is not liked & appreciated,” LeBron wrote on Twitter.

After seeing the comments from LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, Stephen Curry couldn't help but gush. After all, everyone wants to get that respect and acknowledgement, especially from the players before them who understand and know what it takes to win the championship.

“Any player will tell you [that] when you get respect and praise from your colleagues and the guys that have been on this stage and know what this is about–know how hard it is to be at this level and do what we do, that means the world… It hits different when it's people that you looked up to once upon a time,” the Warriors guard said.

A lot has been said about Curry and his lack of Finals MVP, which many think is the lone thing lacking in his resume. However, clearly, the Warriors star is proving to everyone that he remains as impactful as he has ever been and one of the best players in the NBA today.
