Add professional rock-paper-scissors player to the list of Stephen Curry's greatest achievements. The Golden State Warriors superstar has proven he's as versatile as anyone in the league. After this wholesome moment with a fan, he showed he can be great at any sport he wants… even rock-paper-scissors.
After the Warriors beat the Detroit Pistons on the road, a young fan approached Stephen Curry with a sign asking to fight him in rock-paper-scissors for his shoes. Curry, ever the dad of the team, obliged the kid. Here's how that competition turned out for the kid. (via The Athletic)

Curry eventually won the competition, ending a long stalemate with the fan with a big rock win over the fan's scissor gesture. It just goes to show that the Warriors star is the greatest competitor of all-time, as he showed no mercy to the fan asking him for his shoes. Curry will forever be the GOAT for this.
Jokes aside, Curry has always been one to have long and adorable interactions with fans. Perhaps because he's a father of three, the Warriors guard knows how to play and ride along with young fans who wish to watch their idol. He's also known to make fans out of their opponents: just a few days ago, Nets fans attending the Warriors-Nets matchup were chanting MVP for Stephen Curry.
And frankly, Curry deserves those chants. He's been on an absolute tear this season, leading the Warriors to a 14-2 record off the back of his insane shooting and playmaking. He's upped his level of play from last season, and he's doing this with Klay Thompson still on the mend. The Warriors are back, and Curry is a major reason for that.
