Steph Curry is one of the most admirable superstar athletes I’ve ever seen. He’s friendly, thoughtful, accessible, and better at shooting a basketball than anyone who has ever let a hopeful jump shot fly.
And yet: Don’t you just loathe his sweet-shooting guts right now?
Oh, sure, he’s not the cartoon villain/wrestling heel/lightning rod that teammate and accomplished mason Draymond Green is. Even Klay Thompson – maybe the most universally liked player in the NBA – will probably hear more boos than Curry at TD Garden during Game 4 Friday night after his sarcastic “Good job, Boston” comment regarding the vulgar chant directed at Green in Game 3.
