Should a team be hyper-reliant on their stars? A comparison between how the Grizzlies and the Warriors fare without their talismans Ja Morant and Stephen Curry

Stephen Curry is known for being calm under pressure. Yet, even he can lose his cool. Like when he throws his mouthguard at referees.

The Golden State Warrior got a gem of a player in the 2009 draft. Having played 13 seasons so far, Steph Curry has done it all. He is a three-time NBA Champion and two-time regular season MVP.

There can be no denying his greatness. In fact, he is looking to solidify his legacy with another ring this season. This, however, will be difficult, as he finds himself in a tough matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies.

The series is currently tied at one apiece. Nevertheless, things have been getting heated and tempers could flare ahead of a highly anticipated game three.

Stephen Curry has accumulated fines worth $75,000 for throwing his mouthpiece in anger

There is a reason why Steph Curry is known as the Baby-Faced Assassin. It’s simply because he is always calm and composed as he decimates his opponents on the court.

However, there are times when even he has lost his cool. In fact, Curry has been fined for throwing his mouthguard out of frustration on two separate occasions. The first during the 2016 NBA Finals, and the second during a regular-season game the following year against the aforementioned Memphis Grizzlies.

The fines of $25,000 and $50,000 respectively, mean that his mouthguard has essentially cost Steph a grand total of $75,000. A fact that was pointed out by The Richest YouTube channel in the video below.
