As the saying goes, greatness recognizes greatness, when it came to Curry, Kobe Bryant knew that the sharpshooter was a deadly one. And he even revealed the reason why.

While speaking in an interview once, Kobe spoke about Steph’s calmness on the court and how that makes him lethal.

Curry is one of the megastars in the NBA today. Not only is he a big name, but his impact goes way beyond just the NBA. He became the revolutionary start of the three-point era in basketball.

It was no easy task to earn the respect of one of the best players of the game. Kobe Bryant was not someone who could be easily impressed. However, while excessive work rate was something that Mamba looked for in a player, lucky for Curry, he didn’t shy away from hard work. Although, there is a more subtle quality about him that Kobe thought made him a huge problem for the opposition.

Bryant explained, “I see a calmness about him… And I think it’s something that a lot of players don’t understand. So I think it’s very hard for the fans to understand what I’m saying. Because most players don’t get it.”

He continued saying, “And when a player has the skills, when he’s trained himself to have the skills to be able to shoot, dribble left, right, etc., and then you mix that with this calmness and poise, and you have a serious, serious problem on your hands.”

It is Curry’s this ability that has helped him earn the title of the greatest shooter of all time today. This season is a prime example. Steph broke the all time record and shattered the three point scales. However, in terms of shooting the ball, he hasn’t had a great time on the court. But the Baby Face Assassin keeps on putting in the work and doesn’t stop shooting the ball.

Despite shooting a career low percentage, his confidence in his work outweighs it all. And for any team, leaving a man like him open only spells disaster. He is extremely calm and patient, and when the shot flows in, there is nothing anyone can do to stop Stephen Curry.
