It's been a running complaint for years from older fans, analysts and even players that Warriors star Stephen Curry ruined the game of basketball. Not everyone is infatuated with his absurd and often demoralizing three-point shooting from far behind the arc, opting instead to root for players living above the rim.
Curry addressed those comments when he spoke to The Athletic on Tuesday. Golden State's star didn't sound too apologetic for his style of play.
“I’ll get tagged on something on social media, like, ‘You ruined the game,’” Curry said. “Anybody who knows basketball knows where I stand on that. It’s an amazing way to play the game. It opens up the creative. Everybody loves to shoot the ball. But you can’t skip the work and years and years and years and years of reps that I put in and everybody on this level has. So, don’t skip that process. It is a fun way to play, and it’s dope to know that everybody feels an attachment to it.”
