The Golden State Warriors talisman Stephen Curry is undoubtedly in the league of the basketball greats. The Dubs guard is capable of captivating everyone with his magic 3-pointers from deep beyond the arc. However, not only with the ball, the 34-year-old is also excellent without the ball in his hands. Recently, a rare video of Curry resurfaced on the internet and prompted the fans to reconsider just how talented the two-time MVP was in his early years.
A major part of the hoops world acknowledges that Curry is the greatest shooter in the league. The four-time champion even broke the record for most 3-pointers in the league previously held by the NBA legend Ray Allen in December 2021. However, very few people notice his elite off-the-ball movement which is one of the most crucial factors why the Dubs guard is such a danger on the court.
A recently resurfaced clip portrayed the off-the-ball movements of the Dubs guard during his college days. In the video, Curry could be seen constantly getting double-teamed by the opposition during a game even without the ball in hand. However, if it is construed differently, the Dubs guard was actually attracting two players to his side so that his team could play more freely. Surprisingly, the four-time champion didn’t score a single point in the aforementioned game but his team was able to seal a victory.
