He is a credentialed reporter based in Los Angeles who covers the NBA/WNBA, NCAA/NCAAW and boys/girls high school basketball.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Los Angeles Lakers</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>LOS ANGELES – Coming into the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-vs-warriors-prop-predictions-for-nba-christmas-2024">Los Angeles Lakers’ Christmas Day clash against the Golden State Warriors</a>, Max Christie knows that the task of chasing Stephen Curry around for 48 minutes will likely fall on him.</p><p>It’s not like he isn’t used that type of challenge though. Within the past month alone, Christie has drawn several tough defensive assignments including Trae Young, Ja Morant and Cade Cunningham. Curry is just the next one up. But there’s a catch.</p><p>Following the Lakers’ loss to the Detroit Pistons on Monday, Max Christie dropped a heap of praise on Stephen Curry in advance of their Christmas matchup against the Warriors.</p><p>“On Christmas I got Steph Curry, so it’s a great challenge I’m willing to take. And for me, I just have to prepare at an elite level. And I think I usually do that for all these games. For me, just staying consistent with my routing of taking care of my body, hydrating a lot, eating properly, getting enough sleep,” Christie said.</p><p>“Doing all the little things because those will stack up and I think those will benefit me hopefully on Christmas when I guard a top-ten player of all time,’ Christie continued. “I’m excited for the opportunity. You don’t get that a lot, so I’m looking forward to it.”</p><p>It’s entirely possible that Stephen Curry has the resume of a top-ten player of all time. But regardless, it’s going to be a tough challenge for Christie, and will go a long way towards a possible Lakers’ win or not.</p><h2><b>Max Christie’s defensive impact</b></h2><p>One of the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-max-christie-brutally-honest-playing-through-fire">key areas of growth for Christie</a> this season has been on the defensive end. One of his highlights in that regard came on Dec. 6 against the Atlanta Hawks. Although the Lakers lost that game, Christie came up with a huge block on Trae Young that sent the game to overtime.</p><p>A few games later on Dec. 15, Christie chased and hounded Ja Morant into 6-of-21 shooting in a Lakers’ win. Then on Monday, against the Pistons, Christie was matched up against Cade Cunningham who is having an All-Star caliber season.</p><p>Although the Pistons and Cunningham, who finished with 20 points, five rebounds and ten assists, got the better of the Lakers, Christie relished the matchup. Christie <a href="https://x.com/LakersLegacyPod/status/1871435600357892468" rel="noopener">dropped a career-high</a> 17 points, but remarked how it’s the defensive end where he measures his success.</p><p>“I think tonight I did a solid job. My primary matchup was Cade Cunningham. He’s an elite player, all-star level player,” Christie said. “He still ended with 20, ten and five, but I thought I did a good job just trying to make it tough for him. He’s a great player, he’s going to make tough shots. But overall, I think I’m in a pretty good spot right now.”</p><p>One player who has certainly noticed the impact that Christie has brought to the team is Austin Reaves. Since Christie entered the starting lineup, Reaves has moved to full-time point guard duties. Reaves also hasn’t had to chase around so many tough defensive matchups as he has in past seasons.</p><p>The main thing that’s stood out to Reaves about his backcourt partner is Christie’s willingness to match up defensively.</p><p>“I think he’s been really, really good for us over the past couple of weeks. He stepped into that role and embraced it and he’s had really good defensive games and offensive games,” Reaves said after the Pistons’ game. “I think he’s just become a better player since the day he got here. Every day he asks questions, wants to learn. He’s a really good kids and a really good basketball player too.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He had a couple of really nice passes. Found Buddy [Hield] early in the game for a three on a beautiful play.</p><p>Kerr also stressed that how Kuminga performed against the Pacers was how he wanted the 22-year-old player to play.</p><p>“So this is a great example of how JK needs to play,” Kerr continued. “I’m really proud of him for coming out and playing that way. And he’s getting better. And it’s fun to watch his development.”</p><p>Curry echoed Kerr’s sentiments about Kuminga, as the two-time Most Valuable Player gave an honest breakdown of the <a href="https://x.com/957thegame/status/1871443314110787808" rel="noopener">good things he’s seeing from the third-year NBA pro of late</a>.</p><p>“I mean, he was probably the best player out there in the sense of attacking. Being decisive, I think I talked about it after the game the other night,” Curry said.</p><p>“Anytime you’re decisive and aggressive, you live with mistakes. But playing in the flow of the offense, taking what the defense gives you. So I’m getting to the pain, getting a couple extra possessions for us. He knocked down his open threes. He’s getting downhill, put pressure on the rim, doing things that only he can do really on our team. So we love energetic, confident JK. He can change the game for us like he did. And stringing a couple of those games together will, hopefully, rise our level of play and give us a chance to win any given night.”</p><h2><b>Jonathan Kuminga’s future with the Warriors still uncertain </b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Jonathan-Kuminga.jpg"><figcaption>John Hefti-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Against the Pacers, Kuminga led all scorers in the game with 26 points off the bench. He made nine of his 16 attempts from the field, grabbed eight rebounds and dished out four assists to go with a block in 30 minutes of action.</p><p>Based on Kerr’s and Curry’s postgame comments on Kuminga, it seems clear that the Warriors value the youngster. Still, the Warriors could trade him before the deadline, with Kuminga set to become a restricted free agent next summer.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Originally from the small town of Elba, New York, Sonny received his degree from Florida Gulf Coast University and currently resides in Cleveland, Ohio.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">NBA</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>San Antonio Spurs superstar center <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/spurs-news-victor-wembanyama-makes-nba-history-bonkers-performance-vs-hawks">Victor Wembanyama isn’t a stranger to making NBA history</a>. Sure, the 20-year-old French phenom is just 94 games into his NBA career, but he’s already <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/spurs-news-victor-wembanyama-replicates-wild-tim-duncan-rookie-record-amid-dpoy-bid">cracked the NBA record book on numerous occasions</a>. Take for example, on Saturday night, when in a 114-94 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers, Wembanyama became the only player in league history to have 10 blocks and 4 three-pointers made in the same game.</p><p>But for a moment, let’s zoom out and evaluate the spectacular play of Victor Wembanyama not just on Saturday night, but over the course of what has so far been a sensational 94 game career. And let’s look at what the future face of the NBA has accomplished from three-point range in comparison to the three most prolific long-range shooters ever.</p><p>Per San Antonio Spurs PR specialist Jordan Howenstine, Wembanyama made his 200th career three-pointer on Saturday night, <a href="https://x.com/AirlessJordan/status/1870669538653876390" rel="noopener">reaching that mark faster</a> than Stephen Curry (who did so in 99 career games), James Harden (153 career games) and Ray Allen (131 career games). Curry, Harden and Allen currently top the list of the most three-pointers made in NBA history.</p><p>Now, it <i>is </i>important to consider context in an exercise like this one. Part of this has to do with Wemby having the green light right away to launch triples at an historic pace in a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-lebron-james-complains-about-3s-in-nba">three-point happy NBA</a>. Wemby is shooting nine threes per game so far this season. Ray Allen never shot that many three’s in a single season, reaching a career high in attempts of 8.4 per game in his 10th year in the league. It took Curry until his 7th season to shoot more than 9 three-pointers per game, and Harden until his 8th season.</p><p>With that said, it’s unlikely that Wembanyama will see a dip in his attempts any time soon, especially if he continues to improve from three-point range. After hitting just under 33 percent of his three’s during his unprecedented rookie season, Wemby is up to 35 percent this year, and he’s hit 40 percent of his triples in his last 15 games after a slow start to the season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As it was undoubtedly a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-stephen-curry-career-low-point-stunning-blowout-grizzlies">stunning blowout for the Warriors</a>, Curry and Green give their first reactions to their goose eggs and how their season is going so far.</p><p>Curry and Green not making a shot was the first time for them, which encapsulated what was a dreadful game for Golden State as they lost their third straight game and now have been defeated nine out of their last 11 contests. Green specifically did not make any of his four attempts and wouldn’t fill the stat sheet elsewhere except for one steal, <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/43070953/curry-green-held-field-goal-grizzlies-rout-warriors" rel="noopener">as he gave credit to Memphis’ defense</a>, according to ESPN.</p><p>“Damn, that happen,” Green said. “Oh s—.

From the very jump, they kind of punched us in the mouth. We didn’t have an answer…That was kind of embarrassing.”</p><p>Golden State struggled from the very beginning, trailing 13-2 to start, which ballooned to a 31-point deficit later in the game and eventually up to a whopping 46 points when the starters came out of the game.</p><h2><b>Stephen Curry likes “the vibes” around Warriors after humbling loss</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Stephen-Curry-on-Dec.-19-2024.jpg"><figcaption>Petre Thomas-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Grizzlies would even achieve history of their own, making a franchise-high 27 three-pointers as <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-steve-kerr-opinion-mavericks-luka-doncic">Warriors head coach Steve Kerr talks</a> about the “humbling night.”</p><p>“It was just a humbling night all around,” Kerr said. “I mean, they took it to us. They were great. We just couldn’t get anything going.</p><p>“… You lose by 51. That’s humbling. So what I know about this team, this is the second time we’ve been blown out. We got blown out in Cleveland early in the season, so I know who we are. I know what our team is about. I know we’ve got competitors. I know we’re going to bounce back, and we’re going to regroup, so I’m not concerned about that. But we’ve got a lot of work to do to execute.”</p><p>Even with the deflating loss, Curry would say that he “likes the vibes” of the team right now as it could serve as a reality check for the group who came out to a 12-3 start to the season.</p><p>“We are going to keep saying it because I genuinely believe it: We are better than what we have been playing,” Curry said. “We are better than what we have shown tonight. The vibes are way better. It’s nice to say it, but you got to do something about it, and I feel like we can. Just wait and see.”</p><p>The Warriors are 14-12, with their next game being against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The game involved a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-draymond-green-zach-edey-huge-ja-morant-block">dust up between Draymond Green and Zach Edey</a> following a huge Ja Morant blocked shot. The final score wasn’t the only shocking thing that happened though between the Grizzlies and the Warriors. Warriors star Stephen Curry hit a <a href="https://x.com/ClutchPoints/status/1869943802905112747" rel="noopener">couple of career-lows</a> during the game.</p><p>Stephen Curry, who has played his entire career to this point with the Warriors, <a href="https://x.com/ClutchPoints/status/1869941399476396456">finished with only two points</a> and zero made field goals. His two points came off of free-throws. In 24 minutes of play, Curry shot 0-0f-7 from the field and 0-of-6 from the three-point line.</p><p>It was the first time in Curry’s career that he had no made field goals despite playing over 12 minutes. It was the seventh time in his career that he finished with zero made field goals. The last time that happened was back in 2018 against the San Antonio Spurs when he played only two minutes. It’s been six years since Curry was held without making shot.</p><p>This was also the lowest scoring game in his career when he’s played 24 or more minutes in a game. Overall, it was just a bad night for the Warriors, and one they’ll surely want to forget.</p><p>This game was just the latest in what’s becoming one of the NBA’s better rivalries. During the Warriors’ last game against the Grizzlies, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grizzlies-news-taylor-jenkins-zach-edey-delayed-justice-draymond-green-flagrant-foul-upgrade-nba">Draymond Green was retroactively assessed a flagrant foul after tripping Zach Edey</a>. That led to him calling Edey soft on his podcast.</p><p>As far as Curry’s forgettable game, it probably shouldn’t be a cause for concern for Warriors fans. Curry is still playing at an elite level. Although <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-stephen-currys-return-date-injury-major-hint-steve-kerr">Curry has been dealing with knee issues this season</a>, he has been averaging 23.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.3 steals with splits of 45.2 percent shooting from the field, 42.1 percent shooting from the three-point line and 92.3 percent shooting from the free-throw line.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He has words and will travel, just not on the court.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Golden State Warriors</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The entire league took a day off after the Milwaukee Bucks won the NBA Cup. Now it’s back to business, and a showdown between <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grizzlies-news-ja-morant-jaren-jackson-jr-speak-new-minute-allocations-taylor-jenkins-zach-edey">Ja Morant’s resurgent Memphis Grizzlies</a> and Stephen Curry’s Golden State Warriors might be the best game on the Dec. 19 docket.</p><p>Morant missed the first Grizzlies-Warriors meeting, a 123-118 loss in San Francisco. Both squads look to be near full strength for the rematch in Memphis. Steve Kerr will even have Dennis Schroder running point guard for Golden State thanks to a proactive pre-Christmas trade.</p><p>Stephen Curry and Ja Morant represent the clash of generations the NBA has been looking to hype. This is the kind of regular-season clash that deserves NFL Thursday Night Football-level promotion from NBA headquarters.</p><p>Both are leading teams that should be making appearances in the NBA Playoffs. Getting NBA MVP consideration would not be a surprise, and fans will speak to their marketability with NBA All-Star Game votes.</p><p>A pair of million-dollar smile stars and organizations headed in different directions are just angles to sell the league’s fans.</p><p>Golden State (14-11) is 2-8 in its last 10 games, while Memphis (18-9) is 8-2, and the two franchises have effectively swapped spots in the standings. Morant is slowly replacing the old guard led by Curry and LeBron James thanks to a little help from Father Time.</p><p>Other games will be missing stars or involve lottery teams lacking talent in general. All things considered, the NBA should be over-marketing what might be one of the last truly competitive matchups between two generational talents. Instead, the game will not be seen nationally on NBATV, ESPN, or TNT.</p><h2>Grizzlies getting ready for new-look Warriors</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Ja-Morant-Stephen-Curry-Grizzlies-Warriors-talking.jpg"><figcaption>Kyle Terada-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>This is not quite the Grit and Grind Grizzlies of old, but those definitely are not the Splash Brothers Warriors of years past on the opposite bench. Still, both squads play unique styles worthy of attention.</p><p>Finding ways to highlight what is different about each team is just another way to draw in fans of all engagement levels. Expect Stephen Curry to have a counter to whatever it was the Grizzlies used on Nov. 15.</p><p>Taylor Jenkins crafted a defense that held Curry to 13 points on 4-of-9 shooting about a month ago. Since then, Draymond Green now begins games watching from the bench to keep the legs fresh.</p><p>Jonathan Kuminga has done little to impress with a starting role, unfortunately. Age and a lack of support are just two big <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-dennis-schroder-reveals-sons-adorable-reaction-to-trade">reasons why the Warriors traded for Schroder.</a> Propping Curry’s championship window open just a bit longer is obviously a priority, and yet Golden State is again fighting for an NBA Play-In Tournament spot.</p><p>Meanwhile, Ja Morant has been on a tear since returning from a hip injury, and Memphis (2nd) has a 2.5-game cushion over the Nuggets (5th) for a top-four seed.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grizzlies-news-ja-morant-jaren-jackson-jr-speak-new-minute-allocations-taylor-jenkins-zach-edey">Grizzlies are giving Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, and Jaren Jackson Jr. more on-court time</a> to build chemistry. It’s working out for Taylor Jenkins as Memphis has only three losses since a Nov. 17 win over the Denver Nuggets.</p><p>Breaking down the last seven games played by Curry and Morant shows a <a href="https://www.nba.com/stats/players/traditional?PerMode=Per36&amp;sort=PTS&amp;dir=-1&amp;TeamID=1610612763&amp;LastNGames=9" rel="noopener">line of clear separation.</a> Morant is averaging 28 points, 8.7 assists, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.5 steals/blocks per 36 minutes. The former All-Star is only logging 30.6 minutes a game in this sample, but that will change in the postseason.</p><p>Curry is posting 26.8 points, 7.6 assists, 5.0 rebounds, and a single steal/block per 36 minutes. It would be hard to argue the future first-ballot Hall of Famer is the better player now given the defensive output alone. However, Curry’s 42.1% three-point mark (per game all season) on nearly 13 attempts per game (last seven games) will continue to keep opponents honest.</p><p>This should be one of the more entertaining regular-season games on the schedule. Kerr has been getting Curry more open looks as well considering the season average of only 10 beyond-the-arc attempts per game. Jenkins is running a new offense which even Kerr’s once cutting-edge Warriors and Green must respect. However, Schroder was just stirring up trouble in the FedEx Forum.</p><h2>NBA needs a fan-friendly solution</h2><p>Stephen Curry and Ja Morant are marquee names in a heavyweight title fight. Not many celebrities earn the one-name treatment like Steph and Ja. And Morant was just talking about not liking teams that knock him out of the playoffs? Some fans would sign up for a $2 game-by-game pay-per-view option just for nights like this.</p><p>The NBA on TNT show has a doubleheader so NBATV would not pick up a competing program. The New York Knicks versus Minnesota Timberwolves are both on the fringe of the NBA Finals conversation.</p><p>A Julius Randle for Karl-Anthony Towns trade promo has already been filmed for that nightcap. However, the Oklahoma City Thunder’s NBA Cup hangover game against the injury-ravaged Orlando Magic is in the early spot.</p><p>If the NBA wants to attract more eyeballs to live broadcasts, finding a way to be more flexible in these situations would be a starting point.</p><p>Ownership groups and television partners have to see a benefit in being able to push matchups that make sense instead of sticking with the status quo.

The game has become more three-point oriented with teams like the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/celtics-news-jaylen-brown-gets-real-on-bostons-historic-3-point-shooting">Boston Celtics having historic three-point shooting</a> games. If you look on social media though, fans have been debating whether or not the change is good for the game. Just last week, the Chicago Bulls and Charlotte Hornets made history with the <a href="https://x.com/TheDunkCentral/status/1867953743603650577" rel="noopener">most missed three-point shots</a> in regulation. Before the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against the Memphis Grizzlies this past weekend, head coach JJ Redick gave his opinion on the three-point debate with an interesting comparison between Anthony Edwards and Stephen Curry.</p><p>“I brought this up the other night in Minnesota, it’s what makes Ant Edwards different. To be able to shoot ten a game at 40-plus percent, that’s Steph Curry, that’s elite,” Redick said. “There’s just different ways to look at it. And again, you have to play to the strengths of your personnel. Not everybody has Boston’s roster with eight guys that can bang threes at a really efficient clip. I don’t think the league and play style is as homogenized as people make it out to be.”</p><p>JJ Redick was a good three-point shooter during his playing days, and he’s <a href="https://www.silverscreenandroll.com/2024/10/7/24264567/lakers-jj-redick-3-point-shooting-offense-preseason" rel="noopener">carried that philosophy over</a> to the Lakers, as per Edwin Garcia of Silver Screen and Roll.</p><h2><b>JJ Redick’s model for three-point shooting</b></h2><p>On the season so far, Anthony Edwards is averaging around 10.2 attempts from three-point range, a career-high. He’s knocking them down at a 42.4 percent clip, also a career-high.</p><p>In comparison, Stephen Curry for his career has averaged a little under ten three-point attempts per game. He’s averaged no less than 11 attempts for the past four seasons. He holds a career shooting mark of 42.5 percent. Curry is at 10.1 attempts this season and 42.1 percent.</p><p>When it comes to three-point shooting and how teams should approach that in-game, Redick believes it all depends on the personnel. To him, having a player like Edwards is necessary to being a good three-point shooting team.</p><p>“I think there’s different types of threes, theres good threes and there’s bad threes,” Redick said. “I think if you were to sort of model out how you could become a high volume, efficient shooting three-point team, you would hunt threes in transition. You would be able to have some off-ball movers. You would be able to have individual shot creators that could draw a second defender to get you in the blender. You’d be able to have a guy who could shoot efficiently off the dribble.”</p><p>Throughout Redick’s 15-year NBA career, he averaged around five attempts from three-point range and knocked them down at a 41.5 percent clip. His career high in attempts was the 8.0 he took during the 2018-19 season with the Philadelphia 76ers. His career high in percentage was the 47.5 percent he shot during the 2015-16 season wit the Los Angeles Clippers.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After his first two games against his former team, Klay <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/42998391/klay-thompson-dallas-mavericks-top-golden-state-warriors" rel="noopener">admits</a> it’s still something he’s getting used to, per ESPN’s Ohm Youngmisuk.</p><p>“It’s different, but I am getting more accustomed to it each time we face each other,” Thompson said. “We guarded each other plenty of times in practices and scrimmages. You always cherish the moments you get to face the best players. It’s cool I get to say I guarded Steph like I guarded Kobe [Bryant] and KD [Kevin Durant]. It’s another story I get to tell.”</p><p>Thompson has been assigned to defend NBA greats such as Stephen Curry, Bryant, and Durant. Throughout their dynastic run, Thompson, Curry, and the Warriors captured four championships (2015, 2017, 2018, 2022). The Splash Brothers are one of the greatest championship duos the association has ever seen. Curry and Thompson, revered for their elite three-point shooting, caught fire in the Mavericks’ 10-point win against the Warriors.</p><p>Klay made 7-of-11 attempts from behind the arc, finishing with 29 points, while Curry connected on 7-of-13 from deep and scored 26. Luka Doncic’s triple-double (45 points, 13 assists, 11 rebounds) led the Mavs, and Kyrie Irving added 21 points and eight assists. Andrew Wiggins’ 29 points led the Warriors.</p><h2><b>Klay Thompson gets 100% real about lesser Warriors fanfare</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Mavericks-guard-Klay-Thompson-1.jpg"><figcaption>Darren Yamashita-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Back in The Bay for the second time since joining the Mavericks, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mavericks-news-klay-thompson-gets-100-real-about-lesser-fanfare-in-bay-area-return">Thompson didn’t receive the same Warriors fanfare</a> as his initial return.

Other players are starting to climb up the record book, including Curry’s former backcourt mate, Klay Thompson. After the Golden State Warriors faced the Dallas Mavericks, Curry was asked about Thompson getting close to passing Reggie Miller but <a href="https://x.com/957thegame/status/1868531838781988864" rel="noopener">having a funny reaction</a> once finding out Miller is now fifth on the list.</p><p>“Hold on.

I think it’s only fitting that me, James [Harden], and Klay, at the end of our careers, are one, two, and three at some point,” Curry continued. “If that could happen, that would be beautiful. You pass the baton off to the next generation of guys that are trying to catch us when it’s all said and done. So it’s cool that me and Klay have been doing it for a long time.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Steph’s reaction to finding out Klay is close to passing Reggie Miller for 5th on the All-Time 3-pointer list: </p><p>“Hold on.

On The Circuit of Emily Chang show, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-stephen-curry-drops-truth-bomb-on-retirement">Curry spoke about the ways that people retire</a>, and how he’ll know when it’s time to walk away from the game.</p><p>“There are two ways to really go out in basketball: either you’re forced out, or you go out on your own terms,” Curry said. “I hope to be in a situation where you consider how your body feels, what it takes to get ready for games, and the offseason training that goes into preparing yourself for an 82-game season. There will be a clear sign that it’s time to hang it up. I don’t want to be the one that’s limping up and down the court trying to keep up with the young bucks, but I don’t think I’m anywhere close to that yet.”</p><p>If Curry walks away in a few years, he will finish with an amazing NBA resume after all the accomplishments and championships that he won while he was playing. Nobody wants to see him retire, but at some, the greatest three-point shooter of all time is going to have to hang up the sneakers and pay it forward to the next generation.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
