Many Basketball experts rate Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant as two of the best players in the NBA. Curry and Durant played with each other for Golden State Warriors for three years and know each other’s strengths and weaknesses.
Curry stated that he has always admired the way Kevin Durant is always right on the money with his scoring. The GSW star added that Durant’s ability to get a shot off is second to none in the NBA.
The 33-year old said in an interview with GQ Sports, “I’ve always admired the way KD gets it done. Obviously, playing against him for many years and being his teammate for three years, he is the most gifted scorer in terms of being able to get a shot off – obviously, at 7 feet he can shoot over anybody.”
Curry is 6’3 and he feels he is doing something right if he is getting a mention in the same bracket as Kevin Durant.
Curry continued: “But when it comes to overall skill and the way that I try to get it done at 6’3 if I’m in that comparison at the top of the league in terms of scoring, then I’m doing something right.”
Meanwhile, Curry is currently averaging 26.8 points, 6 assists, and 5.3 rebounds in the ongoing season while shooting the ball at over 42% from the field and above 38% from the perimeter.
Curry recently completed 3000 threes in his NBA career against Denver Nuggets and he is regarded as one of the best shooters in the game. The linchpin has been in superb form in the ongoing season and has played a key role in the success of the Golden State Warriors.
GSW has a 30-9 record and they are currently atop in the Western Conference standings. Steph Curry’s team will next face Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night.
