Before you undertake the ambitious project of attempting to interrupt the NBA’s greatest living dynasty, maybe it’s only smart and proper to pay tribute to the man at the heart of its remarkable reign.
Stephen Curry is, after all, an honorary Torontonian, having long ago shown off his uncanny gift for lobbing a ball into a basket in the moments before and after Raptors games and practices, back when he was a preteenager and his father, Dell, was an off-the-bench shooting specialist for Toronto’s NBA team.
That baby-faced gym rat who never missed a chance to play smiley games of one-on-one with the likes of Vince Carter and Alvin Williams has since turned into a two-time MVP and a three-time NBA champion.
