To the left, then a right and a splash. Off goes Stephen Curry with his night-night celly. That’s been the story of his career and one can bet that it will be till the final day. The unsolvable puzzle of defending Curry still remains a mystery to the NBA world. Knowing what he’ll do to your guards is a sign of good prep, but dealing with it is a matter on a whole different level. And sometimes even Curry doesn’t have the answer for it, as was revealed by two of his Warriors running mates.

During the latest episode of the Draymond Green Show With Baron Davis, guest Moses Moody explained it to the best of his ability. BD asked Moody if he had ever sought advice from Steph, but Moody didn’t give a clear answer. “I feel like that’s a thing about Steph is that like he really real. And like so far even to say like, if he don’t know the answer to the question, he’ll be like, no, I don’t know.”

Explaining his point further, the 22-year-old added, “And he not gonna come up with a fake answer because he’s supposed to know or whatever that is. And he’ll go figure it out and come back and tell you.” This candid perspective led to the much-anticipated question about Curry’s legendary performance at the Olympics.

Draymond had already asked Steph about how he made those shots in the last two games of the tournament. But there was never an answer. “He just seemed hella humble, and he’d just be doing s–t out there and don’t know what he’d be doing, but he’d be doing it and he can’t explain it,” Baron Davis chimed in (after 19:20), which led Draymond to tell a different Steph story.

Draymond Green talks about Stephen Curry’s greatness

A decade is enough time to foster a bond of unbreakable brotherhood. Draymond Green and Stephen Curry have spent more than ten years together with the Warriors. After acknowledging Moody’s answers about Steph, it was time for Draymond to speak about his long-time teammate.

“And that is his greatness though. Like, you just be in it, right? Like, just doing it. He said yesterday, that’s one thing Steph ain’t gonna do,” Draymond told his podcast partners. “The last thing he gonna do is sit there and overanalyze the situation, which explains I mean, it doesn’t explain at all, but which also explains a part of his greatness and why he can shoot the way he shoot because he have short-term memory.”

Green then shared a memorable anecdote from a Warriors practice session. During the drill, Steph Curry hit his first three-pointer, prompting rookie Brandin Podziemski to ask for a high-five. After a short pause, Steph tapped Podziemski’s hand and then joked that he should’ve tapped his head instead. The reason? According to Steph, “It’s all in the brain.” He advised the young player to play without overthinking, to just trust his instincts and let his reflexes guide him.

And that’s what makes Curry special, the greatest point guard of all time (arguably). That’s the sort of advice any young player should take and who knows? They just might get lucky defending the greatest NBA puzzle, Stephen Curry.
