Former NBA player Ty Lawson recently shared insights on the challenge of defending Stephen Curry, revealing just how extraordinary Curry’s skills are. On the Raw Room podcast, Lawson recalled a moment when Curry made a particularly memorable shot: “Steph [Curry] was tough too… It was against us, and he shot it in the right corner. I was looking at the ball, and he was like, ‘Boom.’ Splash. I’m like, ‘Yoo, Steph, bruh, you’re different’; nobody’s seen that before.”

Curry’s ability to make seemingly impossible shots is a hallmark of his game, and Lawson’s experience underscores the unique difficulty of guarding him. Curry’s exceptional shooting range and quick release make him a constant threat on the court, often leaving defenders helpless and fans in awe.

Curry’s impact extends beyond the NBA, as he recently achieved a milestone by winning his first Olympic gold medal with Team USA at the Paris Olympics. This victory adds to his already impressive resume and highlights his continued dominance in the sport.

Looking ahead, Curry has secured a one-year, $62.6 million contract extension with the Golden State Warriors, reflecting his ongoing value to the team and his determination to maintain a high level of performance. Despite challenges such as the departure of key teammate Klay Thompson to the Dallas Mavericks, Curry remains focused on leading the Warriors to success.

In a recent interview with Marcus Thompson II of The Athletic, Curry emphasized his commitment to winning and meeting the high expectations set for himself and the team. His leadership and resolve will be crucial as the Warriors embark on the new season, starting with a matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers on October 24.
