Stephen Curry has funny response to criticism

Stephen Curry has made a huge impact on the NBA for many years now, changing the way the game is played with his three-pointers. The Golden State Warriors legend is both praised and criticized over this, but Curry recently defended himself against those claiming he damaged the game. 

It's not a secret that Curry led the evolution of basketball during the mid-2010s alongside Klay Thompson. Ever since the "Splash Brothers" started beating teams from long range, everybody tried to copy the formula. Unfortunately, it didn't work the same for every team, but Curry hasn't lost the touch. 

After the 2024 All-Star Game finished with the Eastern Conference team posting a record-breaking 211 points and both teams combining for 168 three-point attempts, many decided to criticize Curry again for his style of play, claiming he ruined basketball. 

Well, the four-time NBA champion did change the way the game is played, how teams build their roster and what skills young prospects work on, but that doesn't mean he's ruined the beautiful game. The NBA has more important issues than the triple and every fan is well aware of that. 

Curry just found his niche and made sure to dominate everybody with his shooting skills, becoming one of the best players of this generation. It's fair to say nobody saw this revolution coming and it's clear that nobody sees it going anytime soon. 

Meanwhile, "Chef" Curry is set to try to continue the Warriors pre-All-Star break momentum and take his team on another championship push after two years without playing in the NBA Finals.
