He's whatever a few levels up from phenomenal is. There are no words for that game winner

Unbelievable! Curry with the 35 footer to win the game in OT. It was also a record tying 12th three pointer of the game. It also broke the single season record for threes. He will only crush that record the rest of the season.

Even a video game can't duplicate his greatness. They would have to break the mold for what is an acceptable shot and the chance for it to go in.

If you are at all jaded about the Suns, just watch a few Warriors games. They are like the mid-00s Suns reincarnated but better than ever. Curry is a pissed off Nash with a mean shooting streak. Klay is the JJ we were too dumb to resign. Draymond is Marion with an attitude. Bogut is a great enforcer in the paint. Barbosa is, well, Barbosa. They are a delight to watch, and they are on their way to making history.

Not a Thunder fan at all, but I didn't see a foul there from KD on Iggy at the end of regulation.

Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf is the first player to come to mind when I watch Curry. Curry has more range, but Abdul-Rauf had great shooting and ballhandling skills.

I just think of Curry as Nash but in permanent F-U mode. When Nash got mad, he was every bit as good a shooter and scorer as Curry. He just didn't choose to go there very often.

Sorry. I love Nash, but he wasn't as good of a scorer as Curry is. What Curry is doing right now maybe a handful of players in NBA history could replicate.

San Antonio waived Ray McCallum to add Andre Miller. He's another guy I'd add for a test run. He's better than Pressey.

I think Steves best games are on par with Curry's. It is just that Curry seems to do this 10x as often. The guy is amazing.
