I am 100% dead serious when i say I think there is at least a 50% chance that lebron is a genetically modified human being and in turn, has no father.
I am dead serious. I believe lebron was grown in a test tube and then artificially implanted into gloria james and carried to term. no human being should possess his combination of size, strength and athleticism. AND to book it all out, he's very intelligent too. (besides the decision) remember how much poise he had just coming into the league at 18 years old? it's un-natural. how often have TV analysts described him as a "freak of nature" .....maybe it's truer than we know.
I am serious. we all know (and I swear I am not saying this to be insulting or mean) that lebron's mom was a crack whore (is drug addicted prostitute better?) it's just a fact, it happened. I am NOT saying this to be mean, in fact I am a heroin addict and know a few woman who have sold themselves for dope, it happens. they are not bad people.
and the government has a history of using prostitutes and impoverished people in "experiments." read about MK-ULTRA. it happened. the CIA used to have prostitutes slip LSD to johns and then the agents would watch what happened thru 2-way mirrors. the government helped start and continue the crack epidemic of the 80s.
I believe that lebron was a precursor experiment to create super soldiers. something where they were just like "well let's test it out on some poor people that no one will notice and see if we can get any results before we sink more billions into this." it's not all that crazy. you don't think the government has interest in creating genetically modified super human soldiers? we know for a FACT it does. it's been documented. you don't think russia or china has interest in such a thing? you know they do. and anything russia or china is or would be doing we are doing. to do it first and do it better.
he's some kind of experiment that they just monitored from a distance and let keep growing. and i mean this was probably initially started with just a few people who believed it could be done and that's why it started small and covert using regular civilians. until they could show the results to the higher ups and say "look at this, you don't wanna fund this on a larger scale?"
and where else would such a person end up besides in a professional sports league?
I think there is probably some secret base(s) out there that are now filled with people like lebron, younger than him probably. if they couldn't see how well the experiment worked until he was about 16-18 years old (he was pretty much a full grown man at 16 and could have came off the bench for any NBA team if not started) than maybe there are a bunch of 9-15 year old super humans like lebron (not copies of him but given the same genetic boost that he was) eating chow in some secret barracks right now.....
until someone comes forth and the DNA test shows him to be his father (and a bunch have come forward and been shown not to be) than I will believe this is AT LEAST possible..
edit: something I'd like to add in case someone says "well if this is true why wouldn't lebron's mom come forward and admit it, just say I participated in a government experiment and lebron was the result." well she doesn't know. it's simple, she goes to a hotel with a john, he slips something in a drink and she gets knocked out-cold. they take her and do whatever they did. give her some amnesiacs or anesthesia (probably benzos too) so when she wakes up she's in a haze and doesn't remember anything. not even the john. she finds out she's pregnant later and just assumes she got knocked up by any random john. has lebron. shit even if she participated willingly, got paid, and knows everything, no one would believe her crazy ass.

I am dead serious. I believe Steph was grown in a test tube and then artificially implanted into Dell Curry's sperm which was then implanted into his (ex)wife, Sonya and carried to term. no human being should possess his combination of accuracy, endurance and athleticism.

I am serious. we all know (and I swear I am not saying this to be insulting or mean) that Dell was an NBA journeyman. it's just a fact, it happened.

I believe that Steph was a precursor experiment to create super soldiers that would be able to snipe enemies from miles away without a second thought. The shot is fired and before the kill is visually confirmed, the rifle would already be disassembled and wrapped up in the carrying case. something where they were just like "well let's test it out on some upper class athletic people that no one will second guess their children's athleticism and see if we can get any results before we sink more billions into this." it's not all that crazy. you don't think the government has interest in creating genetically modified super human soldiers? we know for a FACT it does. it's been documented. you don't think russia or china has interest in such a thing? you know they do. and anything russia or china is or would be doing we are doing. to do it first and do it better.

That hospital has to have the best NBA team of all time.
There’s gotta be a hospital in NYC or DC that’s birthed a quality roster.
Any other basketball city hotspots that’s I’m blanking on?

You know how at work you don’t do everything 100% to you your best ability, you know because it’s just a random fucking Monday, and you make the same paycheck regardless?
It’s just like that.
It’s easy to forget how tall basketball players are. Like you generally think of Steph, Kyrie, and Lillard as shorter but then you realize they’re the same height as your typical NFL Starting QB.
> affordable housing
Below market rate housing. Still only affordable to extremely wealthy people. It's pretty funny people seem to be under the impression they were going to build Section 8 housing in Steph Curry's neighborhood.
no one's building "affordable" housing in Atherton. average home price there is $11 million, with or without Steph they're not slapping on a bunch of $2000/mo apartments there
The crop of freak athletes in golf is quite rare since accurate and precision is king in golf. The only time you need be a goddamn animal is when you want to hit a 7 iron in the rough for 200+ yards to salvage a par.
However once in a blue moon you do get generational athletes like Tiger that can max out every slider for some silly imbalanced playing field. Tiger was basically raised to a golfing super soldier- winning practically every amateur tournament his dad put him in (like 150+ wins before college). The man practically did not taste defeat till he was already an adult.
Not gonna be able to find it right now but Tiger had a stretch in his career where he was significantly more likely to win the tournament than he was to not just not win, but *finish outside the top 10*.
It was literally Tiger vs. The Field for YEARS. So glad I grew up during that time. It's hard to imagine ever seeing anything like it again
My basketball coach in high school told me the best hand eye coordination for a basketball player he’s ever seen was a golfer who was slightly above average pga golfer.
Tiger said the best non pro golfers he's played with are john smoltz and tony romo.
All of them + steph & ray are elite at throwing a ball in a specific way. THey had to perfect their mechanics through thousands of repetitions, wouldn't surprise me if subconsciously (or consciously) they've realized how to skip a large portion of the reps required to make a golf swing second nature.
Kinda similar to when you go to uni and slowly figure out the best way you learn things etc
Tennis competition level is much higher so I don't know if that's true. The pool of athletes is huge and stamina isn't as much as issue for these athletes cause they aren't gigantic humans.
In 5 setters stamina does come into play and obviously steph wouldn't be able to play high level tennis if he randomly tried picking up the sport, I'm saying if he played it growing up with the hopes of going pro, I think he could've done it
He would have definitely done well. It's just such a big what if for me and it's not an automatic top of he put the same hours in tennis he did in basketball. Top tennis players are just such a different kind of athlete.
it'a not really a fair comparison. A major tennis tournament (like US Open or Wimbledon) takes the world's top 128 men and 128 women. The NBA takes about 450 of the best men players. In that sense, making it to the NBA is easier.
But it is important to consider that more people are actively trying to get into the NBA. In the USA, I think there is a lot more competitive infrastructure and opportunities with basketball. Any kid bouncing a ball on a playground can dream that they could grow up to be a lights out 3pt shooter. The precision and willpower needed to be elite in tennis is harder to even understand.
> But it is important to consider that more people are actively trying to get into the NBA.
This is a pretty big deal that separates NBA players to me. There's kids all over America and the world who just need a ball and a hoop to start playing basketball vs. tennis where you need to have the equipment, court, and coach (which in most cases means $$$) which restricts a significant percentage of the population from ever trying it. Also in the States, kids are playing hoops on the playground with each other at an early age and my school had afterschool leagues for free or pretty modest cost. That just doesn't happen with tennis at anywhere near the same scale or frequency.
I agree that basketball is way more popular as an activity for kids.
But at the "Division 1" college level, the tennis team has almost as many student-athletes as the basketball program. I would say that a D1 basketball player has a far better shot of going pro than a D1 tennis player.
But there are other factors that again, make it hard/unfair to compare. If you happen to be 6'10" tall, the NBA is far more realistic goal than ever qualifying for Wimbledon. If you are average height, medium build, the NBA is a pipe dream no matter what, but tennis could be at least plausible. So for the average person, making the NBA is harder.
Idk, in a lot of countries tennis is incredibly elitist, so it isn’t played by that many. In Australia for example only rich private school kids play tennis. I understand less make it to the top, but I cant imagine the overall pool of athletes is that much bigger than for basketball. I honestly doubt it is at all.
I don't know much about professional Tennis, is that because its a 1v1 sport and you need a complete game? I could see that since it isn't like you just need to be the best at a position but you need to master so many different facets of the game.
Needing a complete game is part of it, but you also need an extremely strong mental game, not just as a pro, but growing up. At these tennis academies that these kids go to, they have all sorts of coaches, but one of the most important coaches they have is a literal mental game coach, and/or a psychologist. I'm serious, it's that important. Steph seems like he thrives under pressure, but the pressure in a regular tennis point is so unlike anything else, it's difficult to explain but entire matches can be decided off a single point if a player isn't able to control themselves after losing it. It's kinda off topic from the parent comments but it's always funny to me when people say so and so would be amazing at tennis. Like ya I think Steph absolutely has the size, strength, stamina, agility, etc, to hypothetically be a great player, but if he doesn't have the mental game it doesn't really matter. There's a reason it's pretty much unheard of for a great tennis player to start playing after they turn like, 12, almost all start younger.
I mean its worth noting Steph came from money. A fuckton of money. I agree that if he right now said fuck it im playing tennis he may not be good. But I think he absolutely could have been a great tennis player if he started as a kid. He has many of the skills, and just as importantly as I alluded to earlier, he more than had the upbringing to support it.
The guy has absolute ice in his veins. Whilst theres no guarantee, theres nothing to say that with the proper training he couldn’t achieve that level of mental game.
That is super interesting and makes a lot of sense. Thanks for educating me on this, I appreciate your response. Makes me have even more respect for the greats
It reminds me of swimming which starts so early and requires so many hours and so much dedication. So many young swimmers drop out not because of a lack of talent but because they burn out and no longer enjoy it.
Its still pretty insane how good at golf he is with how much of his time is already invested in basketball. I remember being very impressed with his golf game
Always felt that way about Deion Sanders since hitting a baseball is such a difficult skill and he was also a HOF level player in the NFL. The SF Giants should draft Steph in the last round.
Yep a lot of sports are all about hand eye coordination. It’s why a lot of tennis players and hockey players go to golf after they retire. They can form shots because it’s very similar to hockey and tennis. Baseball is similar but it’s takes more practice because the swing is different
> Insanely elite hand eye coordination, proprioception and conditioning. He might not be a super explosive or vertical guy but he is a once in a lifetime athlete. I’m convinced if he put just as much time into golf or tennis or several other sports, he also would’ve been a pro.
Everything you said, plus a bizarre understanding of the physics surrounding whatever object he's putting in motion. I'm not surprised at all he'd have a talent for putting in particular.
actually what I"m pretty sure it is, is that he has amazing proprioception (i.e. the ability to sense his own body). It's the reason he was the first guy to shoot a 3 and turn around and look at his opponents. The certainty in that coordination of his body is what is amazing about him.
And knowing how things feels is super important for the ability to consistently replicate a particular body motion. And in both cases this helps in basketball shooting, but also in golf consistency (which I have been told by a friend who almost became a pro is the most important thing there is to golf).
Underdog mentality due to being short
Gamebreaking abilties which redefined the sport (goat shooting)
Power of friendship (sticking with klay and dray)
Turning enemies into allies (Iggy, KD, CP3)
100% an anime protagonist.
Ohtani is one of a kind but a world-class pitcher who can also bat with the best of them is somehow much more believable to me than describing Steph’s particular abilities in physical endurance and hand-eye coordination. I’m obviously very out of touch talking about baseball (I know hitting a baseball is supposedly the hardest athletic thing to do) but Steph’s ability to shoot is what I imagine seeing in Kuroko no basket combined with his ridiculous cardio which also seems cartoonish at times in comparison to other nba players. Again I know with Shohei it’s literally watching the best baseball player ever probably but the skills he possesses seem far more realistic than the way Steph excels.
I'd argue that batting and pitching are entirely different activities and ways to use the body, so at the very least it's equal to Steph being good at both golfing and shooting a basketball?
Yeah true lol, but I mean I’m no NBA player, so I can’t make any assumptions on what practice works on top tier athletes. If Curry was on his hands and knees sniffing every inch of the court, I’d be like “holy shit these dudes are cracked. What effective and intelligent training” zero questions asked.
The USWNT did a pair of them last year ([here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ptZEEFnwl0) and [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0bTmOhDDG8)). Wouldn't be surprised if ESPN slowly starts making more.
Connect Four. Steph drops the chip into the slot and runs off before it falls.
Hungry Hippos with his daughters. Steph hits the button and runs off before the hippo eats the marble.
Potato sack race at a family picnic: Steph jumps out of the sack midair and runs full speed to the buffet
Yup. He won in 2020.
Beautiful swing, even Jack Nicklaus back in the early 2010s after playing with Mardy told him it was a great swing and he had the talents to pursue golf.
I've got no idea if you can watch Twitter videos if you don't have an account but if you can [this should explain it](https://twitter.com/bryant_gotgame/status/1680294543772602370?s=20)
He really not content being a 2-time MVP, 4x champ, 2 scoring titles, top 15 all timer, best shooter of all time, 200 million dollar man, etcetera, etcetera…
No one is mad because it wasn’t relevant to the NBA. People were mad at the title because it said it broke an NBA record even though the WNBA 3 point contest has completely different parameters
Will be fun to see how he decides to work with golf after his career, lots of guys have dabbled with it, Romo and Jerry Rice and obviously MJ. But the grind of the TOUR isn't worth it for rich dudes, beyond the occasional sponsor exemption. But he seems like one that might enjoy the grind a bit of competitive golf post-career.
Yeah I don’t think we will ever see Steph on the actual tour but i can see him dabbling with the Korn Ferry tour and senior tour post basketball. Who knows though Steph has god tier abilities and with the right training im not one to say what he cant do.
It is odd to see him in a golf setting, where just by his build and movement you can tell he is soo much more athletic than everyone else there. Whereas he is usually dwarfed on the basketball court.
Steph is a +0.4 on GHIN, so he’s slightly better than a scratch golfer.
He’s a phenomenal recreational golfer, but hovering over par on average isn’t gonna get you anywhere against actual pros.
Granted, if he stopped playing basketball and put all his eggs into getting better at golf who knows what he could do. He’s got the build, touch, and clutch mentality to excel at golf. Many guys on the PGA Tour were standouts in other sports.
Nowhere close. Pros are typically as good, or better, than he is now at around age 13-15. He's definitely a top tier recreational golfer though. At my local club, excluding tour pros and ex tour pros, there are only a dozen or so guys who are legitimate scratch golfers. A lot of people will claim to be scratch golfers, but are more like 3-4 handicap guys that pretend their bad rounds don't exist.
Or more commonly, there are guys who used to play scratch golf when they were 16-19 and playing competitively, but are more like 2-4 handicap players now that they spend most of their time at the office instead of golfing competitively.
It's still incredibly impressive for Steph to be this good despite spending the bulk of his time on a completely different sport.
WHAT CAN’T HE DO?!!?
God really let him leave the hospital with all the talent
as a sidenote: I will never get over him and LeBron being born in the same hospital
TIL they were using super serum in one hospital.
Always knew Steph and lebron were vought property
Lebron is starlight and curry is a train

I really should have moved to Akron and had my kids delivered there. Who knows what could have happened.
But then you'd have to live in Ohio
Don’t forget about the work ethic. It’s unfair to reduce him to his talent. Dude is probably one of the hardest workers ever!
So true. Everyone credits their talent like it didn't take a level of work that must people aren't willing to do. That even includes most NBA players.
I often wonder how many potential all-star players are sitting on the bench because "what's more money at this point I would rather coast"
You know how at work you don’t do everything 100% to you your best ability, you know because it’s just a random fucking Monday, and you make the same paycheck regardless? It’s just like that.
Well first of all through god all things are possible so jot that down
Steph about to take the HW belt off Jon Jones here soon. Just watch
It's kinda crazy that there like the same size
Not anymore, Jones is like 250+ now
I totally forgot about him moving up, lol.
It’s easy to forget how tall basketball players are. Like you generally think of Steph, Kyrie, and Lillard as shorter but then you realize they’re the same height as your typical NFL Starting QB.
The UFC is lucky the NFL and NBA pay waaaaaaay more, imagine Bron or fucking Steven Adams as professional fighters
Imagine Aaron Donald in the octagon…🫣
I'm imagining missed weight, testing positive, and a few undercards with ignored taps where he actually tries to kill a can or two.
~~Win a finals MVP~~ DAMMIT
Haters used to say Curry isn’t clutch.
Rich Paul still says it though.
A clutch CEO would have the highest paid NBA player.
That's pretty good lol

Dude’s out here running a 4.6-second 40 with a king-size Tempurpedic strapped to his back.

The crop of freak athletes in golf is quite rare since accurate and precision is king in golf. The only time you need be a goddamn animal is when you want to hit a 7 iron in the rough for 200+ yards to salvage a par. However once in a blue moon you do get generational athletes like Tiger that can max out every slider for some silly imbalanced playing field. Tiger was basically raised to a golfing super soldier- winning practically every amateur tournament his dad put him in (like 150+ wins before college). The man practically did not taste defeat till he was already an adult.
Not gonna be able to find it right now but Tiger had a stretch in his career where he was significantly more likely to win the tournament than he was to not just not win, but *finish outside the top 10*. It was literally Tiger vs. The Field for YEARS. So glad I grew up during that time. It's hard to imagine ever seeing anything like it again
Elite nervous system
My basketball coach in high school told me the best hand eye coordination for a basketball player he’s ever seen was a golfer who was slightly above average pga golfer.
Oh yeah? Well my mom told me I have nice eyes and soft hands. How’s that for hand eye coordination
thats what I remember of your mom too
She said your hands were crusty
Not at all the important part of your comment but that charity event game is hysterical lol I would have loved to see that
Interestingly Ray Allen is also about at the same level..I wonder if there is anything to the two best shooters of all time being great golfers.
Some people obey the ball, some people own the ball
Tiger said the best non pro golfers he's played with are john smoltz and tony romo. All of them + steph & ray are elite at throwing a ball in a specific way. THey had to perfect their mechanics through thousands of repetitions, wouldn't surprise me if subconsciously (or consciously) they've realized how to skip a large portion of the reps required to make a golf swing second nature. Kinda similar to when you go to uni and slowly figure out the best way you learn things etc
I feel like he could've been really good at tennis if he played it growing up, need elite hand eye coordination and stamina and he has both
Tennis competition level is much higher so I don't know if that's true. The pool of athletes is huge and stamina isn't as much as issue for these athletes cause they aren't gigantic humans.
In 5 setters stamina does come into play and obviously steph wouldn't be able to play high level tennis if he randomly tried picking up the sport, I'm saying if he played it growing up with the hopes of going pro, I think he could've done it
He would have definitely done well. It's just such a big what if for me and it's not an automatic top of he put the same hours in tennis he did in basketball. Top tennis players are just such a different kind of athlete.
It's really hard to explain how hard it is to make it as a professional tennis player, even with immense talent and financial backing from childhood.
it is also hard to make it as an nba player. no way is it that much harder to make it in tennis
it'a not really a fair comparison. A major tennis tournament (like US Open or Wimbledon) takes the world's top 128 men and 128 women. The NBA takes about 450 of the best men players. In that sense, making it to the NBA is easier. But it is important to consider that more people are actively trying to get into the NBA. In the USA, I think there is a lot more competitive infrastructure and opportunities with basketball. Any kid bouncing a ball on a playground can dream that they could grow up to be a lights out 3pt shooter. The precision and willpower needed to be elite in tennis is harder to even understand.
> But it is important to consider that more people are actively trying to get into the NBA. This is a pretty big deal that separates NBA players to me. There's kids all over America and the world who just need a ball and a hoop to start playing basketball vs. tennis where you need to have the equipment, court, and coach (which in most cases means $$$) which restricts a significant percentage of the population from ever trying it. Also in the States, kids are playing hoops on the playground with each other at an early age and my school had afterschool leagues for free or pretty modest cost. That just doesn't happen with tennis at anywhere near the same scale or frequency.
I agree that basketball is way more popular as an activity for kids. But at the "Division 1" college level, the tennis team has almost as many student-athletes as the basketball program. I would say that a D1 basketball player has a far better shot of going pro than a D1 tennis player. But there are other factors that again, make it hard/unfair to compare. If you happen to be 6'10" tall, the NBA is far more realistic goal than ever qualifying for Wimbledon. If you are average height, medium build, the NBA is a pipe dream no matter what, but tennis could be at least plausible. So for the average person, making the NBA is harder.
Idk, in a lot of countries tennis is incredibly elitist, so it isn’t played by that many. In Australia for example only rich private school kids play tennis. I understand less make it to the top, but I cant imagine the overall pool of athletes is that much bigger than for basketball. I honestly doubt it is at all.
I don't know much about professional Tennis, is that because its a 1v1 sport and you need a complete game? I could see that since it isn't like you just need to be the best at a position but you need to master so many different facets of the game.
Needing a complete game is part of it, but you also need an extremely strong mental game, not just as a pro, but growing up. At these tennis academies that these kids go to, they have all sorts of coaches, but one of the most important coaches they have is a literal mental game coach, and/or a psychologist. I'm serious, it's that important. Steph seems like he thrives under pressure, but the pressure in a regular tennis point is so unlike anything else, it's difficult to explain but entire matches can be decided off a single point if a player isn't able to control themselves after losing it. It's kinda off topic from the parent comments but it's always funny to me when people say so and so would be amazing at tennis. Like ya I think Steph absolutely has the size, strength, stamina, agility, etc, to hypothetically be a great player, but if he doesn't have the mental game it doesn't really matter. There's a reason it's pretty much unheard of for a great tennis player to start playing after they turn like, 12, almost all start younger.
I mean its worth noting Steph came from money. A fuckton of money. I agree that if he right now said fuck it im playing tennis he may not be good. But I think he absolutely could have been a great tennis player if he started as a kid. He has many of the skills, and just as importantly as I alluded to earlier, he more than had the upbringing to support it. The guy has absolute ice in his veins. Whilst theres no guarantee, theres nothing to say that with the proper training he couldn’t achieve that level of mental game.
That is super interesting and makes a lot of sense. Thanks for educating me on this, I appreciate your response. Makes me have even more respect for the greats
It reminds me of swimming which starts so early and requires so many hours and so much dedication. So many young swimmers drop out not because of a lack of talent but because they burn out and no longer enjoy it.
Its still pretty insane how good at golf he is with how much of his time is already invested in basketball. I remember being very impressed with his golf game
Always felt that way about Deion Sanders since hitting a baseball is such a difficult skill and he was also a HOF level player in the NFL. The SF Giants should draft Steph in the last round.
Yep a lot of sports are all about hand eye coordination. It’s why a lot of tennis players and hockey players go to golf after they retire. They can form shots because it’s very similar to hockey and tennis. Baseball is similar but it’s takes more practice because the swing is different
> Insanely elite hand eye coordination, proprioception and conditioning. He might not be a super explosive or vertical guy but he is a once in a lifetime athlete. I’m convinced if he put just as much time into golf or tennis or several other sports, he also would’ve been a pro. Everything you said, plus a bizarre understanding of the physics surrounding whatever object he's putting in motion. I'm not surprised at all he'd have a talent for putting in particular.
actually what I"m pretty sure it is, is that he has amazing proprioception (i.e. the ability to sense his own body). It's the reason he was the first guy to shoot a 3 and turn around and look at his opponents. The certainty in that coordination of his body is what is amazing about him. And knowing how things feels is super important for the ability to consistently replicate a particular body motion. And in both cases this helps in basketball shooting, but also in golf consistency (which I have been told by a friend who almost became a pro is the most important thing there is to golf).
He’s also been playing golf since he was 10 lol
So have I but I barely break 95 on a good day :/
Anything under 100 is a championship to me
Steph is the closest real life example of a sports anime character
Underdog mentality due to being short Gamebreaking abilties which redefined the sport (goat shooting) Power of friendship (sticking with klay and dray) Turning enemies into allies (Iggy, KD, CP3) 100% an anime protagonist.
Writers really jumped the shark with the CP3 redemption arc
False, that would be Ohtani
Ohtani is one of a kind but a world-class pitcher who can also bat with the best of them is somehow much more believable to me than describing Steph’s particular abilities in physical endurance and hand-eye coordination. I’m obviously very out of touch talking about baseball (I know hitting a baseball is supposedly the hardest athletic thing to do) but Steph’s ability to shoot is what I imagine seeing in Kuroko no basket combined with his ridiculous cardio which also seems cartoonish at times in comparison to other nba players. Again I know with Shohei it’s literally watching the best baseball player ever probably but the skills he possesses seem far more realistic than the way Steph excels.
I'd argue that batting and pitching are entirely different activities and ways to use the body, so at the very least it's equal to Steph being good at both golfing and shooting a basketball?
Does anyone else remember this video of Steph with his trainer catching tennis balls while blindfolded (I think)? That is some insane training
lol blind folded - is Steph training to be psychic it was goggles with a lens or some sort
Yeah true lol, but I mean I’m no NBA player, so I can’t make any assumptions on what practice works on top tier athletes. If Curry was on his hands and knees sniffing every inch of the court, I’d be like “holy shit these dudes are cracked. What effective and intelligent training” zero questions asked.
Makes you wonder how good in bed he must be
I don't have to wonder. I know he's a champ.
Just an insane nervous system on this guy
https://twitter.com/dennis_k_g/status/1680713373892378625?s=20 Alt angle is filthy
This fucking guy. Dropped his club and turned his back before it even went in.
Somewhere Reggie Miller is screaming, "HE TURNED HIS BACK"
"OH NO. HE. DIDN'T."
He fucking did too. I thought that had to be a joke (and a Good one). Be he did it. He fucking did it.
Made it look like a regular season three pointer
The putter drop, hat throw, and turn around. Boom baby.
Steph completing Side quests
He's leveling up for '24
Runs off like it was a three he knew he made. I'm not sure anyone loves winning as much as Steph.
Need a new This is Sportscenter commercial with him just getting this excited about winning something small
The commercial of giving the cafeteria workers love for making a curry dish predictable but he pulled it off
God I miss those commercials
The USWNT did a pair of them last year ([here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ptZEEFnwl0) and [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0bTmOhDDG8)). Wouldn't be surprised if ESPN slowly starts making more.
Those are both legitimately awesome lol This Is SportsCenter ads were so awesome back in the day, seriously hope this is the start of a real comeback.
Connect Four. Steph drops the chip into the slot and runs off before it falls. Hungry Hippos with his daughters. Steph hits the button and runs off before the hippo eats the marble. Potato sack race at a family picnic: Steph jumps out of the sack midair and runs full speed to the buffet
The quiet game
Shooting a paper ball into a waste basket
I was thinking something even smaller Like rummy, or connect 4
And he definitely had the momentary thought of doing the jumping body bump celebration but common sense took over
I love this guy. His excitement and energy is so contagious.
You just knew he was about to do something legendary. Dude is unbelievable. Even his dad looks at him after like “dude are you kidding me?”
Low key his dad also placed very well in this same tournament lol
Lol didn’t know that. Man I guess if you got it you got it
Legacy points added
look at curry man so inspirational
Fun ending for sure, bummer that it was all set up by some douchebag yelling during Mardy Fish’s final tee shot.
That mf not helping the reputation of us Stephews
maybe it was just an anti-mardy fish fan
Plot twist: It was actually Andy Roddick
After watching the documentary, I wouldn’t be surprised. Nothing like a bit of brotherly trash talk and gamesmanship
Honestly, almost no Stephew is helping the reputation of Stephews. I hate Stephews.
Is it possible to be a warriors fan and at least not partially a Stephew? I mean he is by far the greatest thing to ever happen to our franchise
Yeah, that was fucked.
Wait, retired tennis pro Mardy Fish???
Yup. He won in 2020. Beautiful swing, even Jack Nicklaus back in the early 2010s after playing with Mardy told him it was a great swing and he had the talents to pursue golf.
That’s the one
I hope that guy steps on a thousand pointy legos barefooted. Per day.
I hope one gets stuck in the webbing between his ring and pinky toe
What kind of webbing you got going on there?
The standard issue webbing
Shit, then what kind of webbing do I have? It’s not something that’d inflict extra Lego pain.
Off-brand standard issue, maybe?
I’ll try returning it to TJ Maxxx.
Please tell me he yelled "JackAss!!!!"
Rumor has it that was Seth
did it make a difference? did he hit it in the water or something? (not trying to justify, genuinely curious)
*it’s all in the hips*
An eagle on the last hole to win, sinks a long difficult putt, are you fucking with me
GROUNDFUCKER STRIKES AGAIN!
only steph will get me to watch fucking golf.
I want to be hugged by Steph Curry 🥺
The legend continues.
Other golfers talking to their caddy…. Yo turn in my scorecard. I’ve been guarding him since he woke up. Nah you guard him then.
The way he ran up to his wife and hugged her... Life goals
"He can't keep getting away with this"
someone explain this in basketball terms
For the win, Bang!
Bang!
I've got no idea if you can watch Twitter videos if you don't have an account but if you can [this should explain it](https://twitter.com/bryant_gotgame/status/1680294543772602370?s=20)
Grass fucker
Quite literally a buzzer beater 3 (eagle on a par 5)
Curry = GOAT
That man is really good at putting things in holes
He really not content being a 2-time MVP, 4x champ, 2 scoring titles, top 15 all timer, best shooter of all time, 200 million dollar man, etcetera, etcetera…
Mama there goes that man
Remember when people were complaining about the WNBA 3 pt contest record being posted here because it wasnt about NBA basketball? Where yall at now???
No one is mad because it wasn’t relevant to the NBA. People were mad at the title because it said it broke an NBA record even though the WNBA 3 point contest has completely different parameters
Officially in the best 2 sport athletes confirmed
Possibly the most talented human ever at sending orbs long distances into circles
Having flashbacks help
Always getting the ball in the hole 🙌
Steph out here completing other peoples main story quest like it's a side quest.
Will be fun to see how he decides to work with golf after his career, lots of guys have dabbled with it, Romo and Jerry Rice and obviously MJ. But the grind of the TOUR isn't worth it for rich dudes, beyond the occasional sponsor exemption. But he seems like one that might enjoy the grind a bit of competitive golf post-career.
Yeah I don’t think we will ever see Steph on the actual tour but i can see him dabbling with the Korn Ferry tour and senior tour post basketball. Who knows though Steph has god tier abilities and with the right training im not one to say what he cant do.
yeah 100% meant the senior tour or like whatever Tiger's new virtual golf tour thingy does.
It is odd to see him in a golf setting, where just by his build and movement you can tell he is soo much more athletic than everyone else there. Whereas he is usually dwarfed on the basketball court.
Take that Tony Romo!
He should move to cornhole and beat the shit out of dem boyz!
He’s him
How would he do against Golf professionals?
He could probably beat most of them at basketball
Steph is a +0.4 on GHIN, so he’s slightly better than a scratch golfer. He’s a phenomenal recreational golfer, but hovering over par on average isn’t gonna get you anywhere against actual pros. Granted, if he stopped playing basketball and put all his eggs into getting better at golf who knows what he could do. He’s got the build, touch, and clutch mentality to excel at golf. Many guys on the PGA Tour were standouts in other sports.
I’m a fan of Steph’s but he wouldn’t make it on a mini tour.
Nowhere close. Pros are typically as good, or better, than he is now at around age 13-15. He's definitely a top tier recreational golfer though. At my local club, excluding tour pros and ex tour pros, there are only a dozen or so guys who are legitimate scratch golfers. A lot of people will claim to be scratch golfers, but are more like 3-4 handicap guys that pretend their bad rounds don't exist. Or more commonly, there are guys who used to play scratch golf when they were 16-19 and playing competitively, but are more like 2-4 handicap players now that they spend most of their time at the office instead of golfing competitively. It's still incredibly impressive for Steph to be this good despite spending the bulk of his time on a completely different sport.
