Stephen Curry, widely regarded as the best shooter in NBA history, has been a dominant force behind the success of the Golden State Warriors. Alongside star players Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, the 36-year-old, who was recently spotted partying after clinching a gold medal, has helped clinch four championships for the Warriors. However, he was recently undervalued by a former American basketball shooting guard.
Nick Young, who last played for the Denver Nuggets in the NBA, recently made shocking statements about the four-time NBA champion. Young played with Curry and won an NBA championship with the Warriors in 2018. However, he still believes that Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving is better than Curry. In his latest post on X (formerly known as Twitter), Young mentioned that people are afraid to say that Irving is better than Curry.
“Kyrie is the Kobe to curry mj, ppl scared to say he’s better.” Nick Young wrote in his latest post on X.
Young’s statement sparked a debate among fans who began criticizing because they believe that Curry is better than Irving.
One fan criticized Young for his statement and said, “What are you talking about, n***a?”

Meanwhile, another fan commented, “Idk what’s worse, this grammar or this take. Kyrie has better handles and finishing moves than Curry and that’s it. Curry is a much better player than Kyrie, and that’s not a shot at Kyrie.”
Another fan reacted, “Posting this after that Olympics gold medal game is wild.”
Another fan commented, “Yet another clown wanting clout at Steph’s expense.”
Fans have become more supportive of Curry due to his recent dominance at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Stephen Curry: Shining Star Of The 2024 Paris Olympics
Stephen Curry made his Olympic debut for Team USA in the 2024 Paris Olympics under the guidance of his longtime coach, Steve Kerr. The 36-year-old point guard had the opportunity to play alongside legendary players LeBron James and Kevin Durant.
Curry consistently delivered strong performances for the American men’s national basketball team in Paris, showcasing his real magic during the critical moments of the tournament. In the semifinals against Serbia, he finished the game with 36 points, 2 assists, and 8 rebounds.
However, in the gold medal game against France, Curry amazed the crowd by making several 3-pointers. The two-time NBA MVP scored 24 points, 5 assists, and 1 rebound in Team USA’s remarkable 98-87 victory over France.
While many believe that Curry was the deserving player for the Tournament’s MVP award instead of James, young criticism for the Warrior’s standout player will gain the attention of NBA analysts. It will be interesting to see the reactions.
