He changed the game, he’s got every guard thinking they’ve got range – Kevin Garnett hits back at Paul Pierce for not including Steph Curry in top 10 players

Hall of Famer and former NBA player Kevin Garnett lashed out at Paul Pierce after his former teammate didn’t include Steph Curry in his top 10 players of the NBA. Garnett stated Curry changed the game despite being only 1.88 meters tall and many guards try to shoot like him even if they aren’t above 2 meters tall.

On the other hand, Paul Pierce feels Curry still has a lot to prove to be considered among the top 10 players of all time. 

Meanwhile, Curry has won four NBA championships in his career and he bagged the final MVP in the previous season after his scintillating performance against Boston Celtics. 

Curry is regarded as one of the best shooters of all time and he has scored 3117 three-pointers in his career, which is the most in the NBA in the regular season.

Thus, Curry has had a positive impact on the game as he has inspired the young generation.

On Showtime’s latest show, Kevin Garnett said, “You tripping. The man changed the game, the way you shoot the ball. Secondly, he does it on a consistent basis. Every guard that’s under 6 foot thinks that they are Steph Curry and shoot the ball. The pick-up on him is as soon as he crosses half-court. He changed the game, he’s got every guard thinking they’ve got range.”

Meanwhile, Curry averaged 31.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 2.0 steal while shooting 48.2% overall in the NBA Finals as he was at his best in the previous edition.

GSW will begin its NBA campaign against the LA Lakers on 19th October.
