In a recent episode of ESPN’s “Get Up”, the former Raptors legend praised the Warriors’ leader by calling him an “unselfish superstar” and also broke down the 2-time MVP’s off-ball movements. Carter said:
“Steph is an unselfish superstar, and he’s willing to put the ball in the hands of the hot player or the guy who is going or get guys going and that’s one of the things that’s great about him is that Steph does not need to have the ball to be effective.”
“His ball movement, his ability to move off the screens and say yes they switch and everything, but you have to have once again the defensive discipline, cause once again when Steph Curry is running off a high double screen or a low baseline screen.”
“Well, guess what? Eyes are following him, points switching sometimes and your attentions there and you can run action for Jordan Poole or Klay Thompson on the other side because of the defense has to pay attention to him.”
