Warriors Legend Monta Ellis Makes Feelings Clear About Steph Curry

In a recent interview with Out The Mud Podcast, Ellis opened up about Curry.

Ellis: "I knew he worked hard. He definitely would pay attention and the thing that I was doing, he paid a whole of attention too it and he put that in his game... Did I know he was gonna be that? Nah. He did work hard though... Now seeing it, I'm not surprised... He came in small, once he figured out how to be able to get strong and take physicality, that's when his career changed."

Curry struggled with injuries over the first three years of his career.

He didn't hit All-Star status until his fifth year.

Following his run with the Warriors, Ellis was traded to the Milwaukee Bucks.

He also spent time with the Dallas Mavericks and Indiana Pacers over 12 NBA seasons.

Even though Ellis never made an NBA All-Star Game, he had career averages of 17.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.7 steals per contest while shooting 45.1% from the field and 31.4% from the three-point range in 833 games.

Curry went on to have one of the best NBA careers of all time.

The Warrior clearly made the right choice to keep him (over Ellis).
