Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry has truly revolutionized the way that the game of basketball is currently played. His resume of winning two MVPs and being selected to the All-Star game six times should speak to that notion.
Still, Curry has always had a bit of doubters during the rise of his career, and that pool of haters grew larger as the 2020-21 season came about, mostly given the fact that he'll have to carry his team single-handedly for once.
Former Warriors legend Chris Mullin had a mouthful of words to those who still doubt Curry's abilities despite his accomplishments:
“I guess they call them haters,” stated Mullin to NBC Sports Bay Area's Grant Liffmann. ” … I just call it being jealous. I really do believe not only how well and dominant that Steph plays; it's the joy and passion and fun he has doing it, and he doesn't let that stuff bother him. So, I think a lot of people are jealous of the way he can handle his success and his failures — he handles them both admirably.”
After losing Kevin Durant to the Brooklyn Nets in 2019, the Warriors were considered to be less than favorable even with a roster that had already accomplished winning championships without the former. They headed into the 2020-21 season with high hopes to retain title contention conversations with Klay Thompson back on the front.
Now with Thompson out for the season after tearing his Achilles during training camp, the trolls of the NBA world turned their attention to Curry and his inability to lead an average team into the playoffs. Curry responded to those takes by dropping 62 points on the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday.
