Steph Curry is more revolutionary athlete than Patrick Mahomes – Stephen A. Smith

 

NBA analyst Stephen A. Smith has claimed that Stephen Curry has made a deeper impact on the game of Basketball than Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has made in the NFL.

Meanwhile, Mahomes recently clinched his second championship and second Super Bowl MVP award after beating Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl.

On the other hand, Steph Curry is regarded as one of the best three-point shooters in the game and he is a four-time NBA champion. Furthermore, he is a two-time MVP and won the final MVP award in the previous season.

“When you consider the talents of both, in particular with Mahomes on the football field, he can be conventional when he needs to be,” Smith said on First Take. “But he can also be something else when he needs to be something else because Patrick Mahomes is just special, there’s no question about that.

“But for me, it’s always going to be Steph Curry from the standpoint that he’s revolutionized the game of basketball. You see the 3-point shot as the weapon that it is. This man is the greatest shooter that I’ve ever seen in my life … I’d say he’s the greatest shooter God ever created.”

On the other hand, Chris “Mad Dog” Russo feels Curry has spoiled the next generation with his prolific ability to hit the three-pointer. More young players are trying to hit from the three-point line because of Curry but they need to be more accurate.

“The problem with Steph Curry is sometimes people try to be him and it’s hurt the league,” Russo explained. “Because now everybody’s trying to shoot threes and everybody wants to follow what he does.

“The one thing about missing 3s, the game becomes a disaster. When you miss 3s, it’s a rough watch. And that’s the problem, because everybody wants to be like him. Because he is so good, everybody wants to shoot the 3. That would be negative.”

Curry is currently out with an injury and GSW will face LA Lakers on Friday.
