The star lightweight boxer Ryan Garcia sent a congratulatory message to the iconic player of the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry. The champ is one of the most phenomenal shooters basketball has ever produced. He already racked up three championships. But this year’s championship added a new accolade to his resume. Not only did he lead his team to victory but also earned the Bill Russell NBA Finals MVP Trophy.
Impressed with the performance of Curry in the finals, Ryan Garcia told EsNews, “Finals MVP Stephen Curry, true inspiration, keeps it real all the time, humble. Just likes to kick a** on the court. Congratulations, you deserve everything that you work for. I mean you are supposed to be the underdog. You know kind of he is small.”

Curry’s achievement deserves much appreciation because the 34-year-old is not as dominant in the paint as the big men in the NBA. But that didn’t stop him from dominating the league. Stephen Curry is often credited with changing the game of basketball, and making it more 3-point shooting-heavy. He is 6.3 ft, which is less than the average height of the NBA players. Whatever he earned on the court of basketball is his pure hard work and skill.
Curry’s three-pointer shooting skills have already put pressure on the defense mechanism of oppositions. Certainly, Curry has become a distinctive figure in basketball.
