Steph Curry, in 48 minutes, put himself in more elite company than the Hall of Fame. Only Michael Jordan, Jason Kidd, the logo Jerry West, Oscar Robertson, and Elgin Baylor have had at least 35 points 10 rebs and 10 assists in a game as a rookie. Those are the best statistical players ever. Oscar Robertson is the most overlooked superstar in any sport ever. Brace yourselves. As a ROOKIE, he averaged 30.5 points 9.7 assists and 10.1 rebounds. WHAT? Oh, and in his second year he averaged 31 points 11.4 assists and 12.5 rebounds. If you slice those numbers in half, you're still an all star. By the way, he was 6'5" and was a shooting guard. Back to Steph. He's like 6'2" with platform shoes on and is relatively unathletic, but he has the one of the highest basketball IQs in the game. He knows where to be at all times on offense and defense. His stroke isn't as smooth as silk; silk is as smooth as his stroke. Monta Ellis has probably spent the whole day crying and talking to his agent trying to figure out how to get the fuck out of San Fransisco. With Curry running the show, the Warriors boned the struggling Clippers. Murder in hippie city. It was like the men of the UConn women's basketball team playing against the real girls on all the other teams. The Warrior's trainers are, at this moment, devising a plan to injure Monta even more. Who wants that cocky ball-hogging virus back now? If Stephen Curry doesn't finish in the top 2 in rookie of the year voting, then he's being discriminated against for being almost white. Good luck in the 3 point contest to anyone not named Steph because honestly they don't stand a chance.
FYI he is from Charlotte
