It's not only fans that are amazed by Stephen Curry's seemingly inexplicable talent. Even his fellow NBA players get their minds blown every so often when they face off against the Golden State Warriors superstar. Just ask Jrue Holiday.
In a recent appearance on JJ Redick's “The Old Man & The Three” podcast, Holiday recounted a recent experience with Curry that made him come to the conclusion that the former back-to-back MVP is literally out-of-this-world.
“He’s an alien,” Holiday said of the Warriors guard (h/t Lee Tran of Fadeaway World). “I don’t understand. I fouled him on a half court shot when we played him 3 weeks ago. I’m pretty sure he didn’t even look at the rim, and he still almost made it. It hit the back of the rim. And they didn’t call the foul. I’m like, ‘What is wrong with you? What do you take? Can I get some of it please? Cause you’re insane, dude.'”
That's a fair assessment from the Milwaukee Bucks point guard, actually. With the way Stephen Curry has been playing of late for the Warriors, you sometimes have to ask yourself if he really is human.
For what it's worth, the matchup Jrue Holiday was referring to went down on April 6. Jrue led a Giannis Antetokounmpo-less Bucks side with one of the best performances of his career in Milwaukee. Holiday dropped a team-high 29 points on 11-of-18 shooting, while also playing some outstanding defense on Curry.
It didn't matter much though, as Curry still amassed a game-high 41 points with five triples, six rebounds and four assists. Steph almost single-handedly carried the Warriors to a 122-121 victory on that day and as it turns out, he left quite a unique impression on Holiday, too.
