Warriors guard Stephen Curry said he understood what former coach Mark Jackson meant when he said on the Christmas Day broadcast of the game against the Cleveland Cavaliers that the reigning MVP has to a degree “hurt the game” in the way youth players are inspired to shoot from long distances.
“After I heard all of what he was talking about, I understand where he’s coming from – that being for the youth of today and how they watch us play or watch me in particular, and they want to go out and try to do the same thing,” Curry said Saturday.
