Stephen Curry is one of the greatest players of this generation. The 6’2 Warriors superstar has won 4 Championships, 2 MVPs and is now a Finals MVP too. However, he rose to fame after revolutionizing the way the game of basketball is played.
Steph totally changed how the game is played and showed the world how scoring at the basket isn’t the only way to dominate. Showing how the 3-point line can be used as an asset, Steph and his Splash Brother Klay Thompson won the 2015 Championship.
Curry has been regarded as the best shooter for quite some time. However, in December 2021, he crossed Ray Allen for the regular season 3-pointer record. At that point, Steph became the official GOAT shooter. To celebrate the same, Under Armour and Steph released ‘Curry Genesis Flow’ sneakers as NFTs, and only 2974 of the same were made.
