Challenging Stephen Curry in a 3-point shooting contest? Bold, but let’s be real—it’s extremely hard to beat one of the greatest shooters in basketball history. Sure, it takes guts to think you can out-shoot the Baby-Faced Assassin, but the reality is humbling. Even Karl-Anthony Towns once believed he had a shot until he witnessed Curry’s jaw-dropping performance against France in the Olympic final. That game was a masterclass—a Steph Curry clinic that crushed any hope Towns had. It’s one thing to be brave; it’s another to face the greatest.

“If I put down, can you beat Steph in a 3-point competition?” Shannon Sharpe asked KAT on his Club Shay Shay podcast. The Knicks star’s honest reply made the host laugh. He said: “I’ll give my best shot, for sure.” Stephen Curry has redefined three-point scoring as a central element of present-day strategy. He became the rightful face of the Warriors dynasty with a pitch-perfect 30 of 35 shooting clear sheet. And well, anyone going up against him can do nothing more than try their best. “He’s the best shooter that’s ever lived- hands down. I’ve never seen a man that made me get off my a** on the couch and go ‘Start shooting basketball, NOW!’ That was crazy,” Towns continued.

We know how Stephen Curry’s basketball journey started. People initially considered him too small to play in the NBA, and his ‘weak ankles’ caused him to suffer. However, it was only through his rigorous training and stubborn mettle that elevated Chef Curry to the pedestal of GOATs. Karl-Anthony Towns further added: “I’ve played against prime, vintage Steph and it was so much talent he had. And to watch what he did against France was like the vintage Steph in the most polished version. Expert level and it wasn’t like he was just making shots. He was making shots out of just calculated precision.”

That evening on August 11, Steph took the spotlight in the arena. He scored 24 points. This was enough to help Team USA snatch away the gold medal from Victor Wembanyama & Co. And as stated by Towns, it was Stephen Curry at his finest; a perfect blend of vintage and calculation. KAT wanted to be like Curry for once, so he spent 4 hours of his day, practicing how to shoot like Stephen Curry. Maybe, the 36-year-old should consider writing a self-help book for those who want to hit the perfect 3-pointers like him. Anyway, Town who was trying to shoot like Steph, at one point forgot how things are done.

He confessed the fact to Shannon Sharpe: “I know I could shoot like this possibly. I know I could do it. But he shot so well, that he made me forget I could shoot.” Do we call this a charm? Because if this wasn’t some sorcery then what was it? Stephen Curry’s gameplay is truly mesmerizing and it seems KAT experienced it firsthand! It only makes sense for someone with a career stat of 24.8PPG and a 42.4% 3-point shooting accuracy to enchant the crowd.

More importantly, his presence in the Bay Area only makes the team stronger and more reliable. With that said Steph has explained the significance of his Warriors stay extension. Looks like a Lakers deal wasn’t as enticing as his need at the Warriors squad.

Stephen Curry finds it significantly important to stay at the Golden State Warriors for at least a year now

The Baby-Faced Assassin has been with the Dubs for the last 15 years. He’s won four championships with them. He’s won MVP twice and earned 10 NBA All-Star selections. His impact on the team and the NBA has been significant. However, rumors about his future with the Warriors have surfaced. Some speculate he could move to the Lakers, raising doubts about what’s next. But bringing an end to all speculations, Curry signed a one-year $62.6 million contract extension with Mike Dunleavy Jr.’s team.

So, removing the Warriors from his Instagram bio and fueling a possible partnership with LeBron James was just a coincidence? It could be. The silver lining is that Steph won’t go to the Lakers unless the team makes a trade offer. “It’s rare to find players who stay with one team for their entire career. By extending my contract, I wanted to make sure there were no distractions or speculation throughout the season”: The 36YO clarified on media day. He expressed that his loyalty lies with the Golden State Warriors and that will he continue to give his best for the team.

Stephen Curry’s journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. Even the best players like KAT recognize his greatness. Curry’s commitment to the Warriors speaks volumes about his loyalty. Now, with a one-year contract extension, he has put rumors to rest. His focus remains on helping the Warriors succeed. Fans can look forward to another season of magic from the Baby-Faced Assassin. As Curry continues to dominate, one thing is clear: more than just being an NBA player, Curry is on a legendary path.
