Stephen Curry has been one of the best point guards in the NBA for the better part of the last decade with Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young emerging as one of the league's top up and coming point guards. The two battled it out on Friday as the Golden State Warriors visited the Hawks. The Hawks emerged victorious, 127-119 with both point guards dueling each other throughout the game. Curry finished with 31 points, six rebounds and five assists while Young finished with 25 points, six rebounds and 12 assists. After the game, Young spoke out via Bally Sports about the influence Curry has had on him during his career.

“He's been like my big bro since I've got to the league and even before that,” Young said. “He's always giving me advice and I just appreciate him. He's one of the guys that set the blueprint for guys like me to come in the league and take over. It's a blessing to be able to have a guy like him to give me advice, so I love it.”
