Stephen Curry has long been putting the world in a spell with his phenomenal marksmanship. For 13 beautiful seasons, the four-time NBA champion has been the catalyst for the Golden State Warriors. He has not only emblazoned the Dub Nation in gold but has also brought about a change in the way the game is played today.
Last season, the human sniper led the way for his squad. Being a diversion in the form of bliss for the Warriors fans, he clinched the team their fourth NBA championship in eight years. Curry’s heroics made several players get the taste of the ultimate silverware. One of those players was Juan Toscano-Anderson (JTA).

JTA provided an excellent analogy last year when was asked what it’s like to play alongside the two-time NBA MVP. For him, it’s like stepping into a “street fight” with “The Baddest Man on the Planet” by your side.
He claimed that seeing Curry on the floor evokes the same tremors of fear in the opponent as seeing Mike Tyson?on the opposite side of the ring.
“I used this comparison maybe last year, but it?s like you getting into a street fight, and you got Mike Tyson on your side,” he said. “Like of course you?re gonna have all the confidence in the world.”
