ReplyDeleteStephen Curry
ReplyDeleteThose who tuned in that night in February, for a game between Curry’s Warriors and the Knicks at Madison Square Garden, watched one of the greatest shooting displays in N.B.A. history.
Curry started the game as a human being, but as it went along, his connection to reality was severed. By the second half, it seemed any ball that touched his hands was going to be launched toward the basket, and when he did shoot, it was probably going in.
Curry finished with 54 points, going 11 for 13 from 3-point range. His was the first 50-point effort in N.B.A. history to feature 10 or more 3-pointers.Some posts included details; some used his name and nothing else. But anyone familiar with Stephen Curry, the streaky point guard for the Golden State Warriors, knew it was time to find a television — fast.To some, Curry’s performance was just a great shooting night that came up short; his team lost, 109-105. But for fans capable of appreciating artistry even in defeat, the game will be remembered long after plenty of victories have been forgotten.

ReplyDeleteSoul ball By: Michael A. King
Born the greatest player
Who was destined to later
Be a main layer
Of the best of the best
And was put through a very hard test
But never wanted to rest
