Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry reminds Snoop Dogg most of Kobe Bryant, the rapper and actor told Stephen A. Smith on Thursday.
âThatâs a hard question because I donât really see nobody with that, you know, killer instinct. The closest that I say would be Steph Curry,â the legendary artist explained.
âBecause Steph Curry got that killer instinct when itâs time for the playoffs, when itâs time for the big game, he wants the big shot, he ainât afraid of the big shot, he steps up to the challenge, heâs never considered the best but heâs always the best when itâs time to be the best.â

Thatâs a very thoughtful answer from Snoop regarding the four-time NBA Finals champion, and one of the greatest shooters in the history of the game. That being said, itâs hard to compare anyone to Kobe Bryant.
Kendrick Perkins had a hilarious response to Snoopâs answer when asked who he thinks will be the most Kobe-like in this yearâs NBA playoffs.
âFirst of all, I think Snoop was as confused as a woodpecker with a headache, thatâs the first thing,â Perkins said. Anyoneâe guess what that means.
Steph Curry and Golden State enter the 2023 NBA playoffs as the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference after an up-and-down regular season, but the 44-38 Warriors are considered heavy favorites in the teamâs first-round series against the No. 3 Sacramento Kings.
Theyâve never lost a Western Conference playoff series under coach Steve Kerr; all six playoff runs with the former NBAer at the helm have resulted in a Finals appearance.
