There can be no doubt that Stephen Curry is leaving his mark on the sport of basketball. The two-time MVP and two-time champion has done more than just impact the Golden State Warriors; he’s impacted the league, the community, and how the sport is played.
Earlier this week, ESPN ranked the top-100 most influential players in NBA history. Curry was ranked 10th, in some pretty elite company.
10th is certainly some high praise, and Kevin Arnovitz described the Curry influence beautifully, saying “Curry will go down as not only the avatar of the NBA’s Golden Age of Shooting, but as the inspiration for generations of kids who see him as the model for how to refine their skills and overcome bigger, more athletic players.
