Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry Compared to God by Stephen A. Smith in 1 Jaw-Dropping Rant to Joe Lacob
Cary Edmondson-USA TODAY Sports

Following their collapse in the play-in tournament this season, the Golden State Warriors face a huge dilemma whether to disband their current core or to retool their roster to maximize their narrowing championship window.

If it were up to Stephen A. Smith, he would prefer the latter because the team still has Stephen Curry since he is still one of the league’s best players.

“The Warriors owe Steph Curry whatever the hell Steph Curry wants. I’m a Christian and I don’t compare any man to God, but that man Steph Curry is the closest thing to a God-like figure that you have in that area,” Smith said, via 95.7 The Game. “Too invaluable. Too untouchable. And oh by the way, still a star. That man needs more talent, go get him more talent. That man needs a better roster, go get him a better roster. He needs Steve Kerr re-up’ed for years to come, you do that too.”

“You give Steph Curry whatever the hell he needs in order to keep him, as a team, relevant in the championship equation. He deserves no less. He’s still a SUPERSTAR in this league. The brother is the epitome of perfection when it comes to a professional athlete,” he concluded.

Stephen Curry still has a lot of gas left in his tank, as he’s coming off another fine season for the Golden State Warriors, averaging 26.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game on 45/41/92 shooting splits in 74 regular-season games. The four-time NBA champion was named to the NBA All-Third Team on Wednesday.

Steph Curry is untouchable for the Golden State Warriors  

As mentioned, Stephen Curry makes the Golden State Warriors competitive, and the front office needs to give him a stronger supporting cast since he is not getting any younger.

The team may let go of Klay Thompson because he has been on a steady decline and Draymond Green’s off-court antics and periodic absences don’t help them either.

Youngsters Jonathan Kuminga, Trayce Jackson-Davis , Brandin Podziemski, and Moses Moody all show promise, but they all have to realize their full potential sooner rather than later.
