In a video for GQ, in the form of questions and answers from Internet users, Stephen Curry mentioned a multitude of subjects. Selected pieces :
Would the Warriors with Kevin Durant have beaten the 1996 Bulls in a 7-game final?
” Absoutely. Of course we never will, but if we are put on paper with them, I like our chances. I would say Dubs in 6 games. “
Did he have moments of doubt early in his career when he multiplied ankle injuries?
“There are a lot of times I doubted myself, and all I wanted to do was be healthy and play, and then worry about being good on the pitch came next. When you are in these moments, in rehabilitation, it becomes really monotonous, and it’s really difficult, so you have to have good support in your entourage, and luckily it is my case. “
Is Stephen Curry a playmaker as he plays more without the ball and the strong winger (Draymond Green) is the one initiating the attack?
“I would say you’re right. No matter what position you play in, the question is, can you play basketball? We find solutions. If you want to call Draymond Green the playmaker and me the shooter, that’s great. ”
How to shoot like Curry?
“Everyone thinks he can shoot at 6m, 9m, 12m. I’ve been building muscle memory since I was roughly 5 years old when I first started playing club basketball. You have to spend hours there and it only comes with the rehearsals. I don’t know how many shots I’ve taken since I was 5, but you must be taking that many. “
Before the draft, which team did he want to go to?
“I really wanted to go to the Knicks. The draft was in New York, it was my father’s birthday, June 25, 2009. I had had a lot of discussions with the GM of the New York Knicks, who told me that if I was still available they would. would take me. There was a lot of hype, I thought I was going to be a New York Knick. But we say that we must always be careful of what we want. Everything happens the way it’s supposed to happen. So I am a Warrior. “
Why 7 teams decided not to choose him that night?
This is the question I asked myself when I was sitting in the green room. But I’ve always been someone who came out late. Maybe I haven’t convinced the teams that I could play at this level in terms of physics. But the right team chose me with the right choice. We know the rest.
If he and Kevin Durant are apart in the NBA in their way of scoring?
“I’ve always admired the way KD scores. I played against him for many years, I was his teammate for 3 years. He’s the most gifted scorer in terms of how he can create his shoot. Obviously in 2m13 you can shoot anyone. But in terms of skills in general and the way I try to score, when I’m 1.90m tall, if I’m at the top of the league in scoring, that means I’m doing it right. “
