Who could have thought that the Golden State Warriors, a team barely surviving the past two seasons without Klay Thompson, will have the best record in the league in the 2021-22 NBA campaign? Divine performances from Stephen Curry, with Jordan Poole supporting him, has been surprising everyone.

At the top of the Western Conference right now, the Dubs are only piling up their wins. Even when the odds are against them during a game, Curry’s heroic performances in the end really make a difference.

However, his efforts arrive with a little bit of cockiness. While playing the LA Clippers, he pulled off something smart but hilarious to rid himself of Eric Bledsoe.

Stephen Curry is a savage

The LA Clippers deserve a little bit of credit for holding the fort quite well in the first three quarters. It was in the fourth one that they were unable to stop Steph’s crazy moves. Steph too struggled on the offense in the beginning but came through for the Dubs in the final few minutes.

In the first half of the game, he only had 13 points. Despite his faltering start, one must not assume that he wasn’t playing at his best. His unique way of defense against Clippers’ Eric Bledsoe is a testament to Curry’s self-confidence.

As he received a pass from Draymond Green, he knew Eric was inches away from stealing the ball. As soon as he caught it, he abruptly stopped on the court, making Bledsoe fall to the hardwood floor.

This gave the Warriors superstar enough time to get past him and to the other side of the court.

So far, the Warriors are holding an incredible 18-2 record and the number one seed in the West. They are followed by the Phoenix Suns who haven’t lost a single match in the past 16 games.

It’s time for these two brilliant teams to meet up. Either the Warriors’ seven-game winning streak will come to an end, or the Suns will be on the receiving end of Steph’s wrath.
