Stephen Curry is one of the greatest shooters ever to have played the game of basketball. The Golden State Warriors point guard recently led his team to their fourth NBA Championship in eight years. Curry also won his first-ever NBA Finals MVP trophy this season. This was the only major trophy that was missing from Steph’s illustrious career with the Warriors.

With these titles, Curry cemented his status as one of the greatest players ever to have played the game of basketball.

Curry has a great work ethic and continuously tries to improve his game. Over the years, he has improved his physical conditioning so that towards the end of the season and in the post-season, he can still compete at a high level. But getting drafted by a competent team is also an important step in a player realizing his full potential in the league.

In a recent interview, Steph talked about how his father helped in Warriors land him at the seventh overall pick. He then signed a $12 million dollar deal with the Warriors as his rookie deal.
