When Curry and Kobe played against each other for the first time, why did Curry say he was disrespectful? Curry: The first time Kobe and I played against each other, he was very disrespectful!
As we all know, Curry is the founder of the NBA's small ball era, and his style of play has influenced the style of the entire league. It was not easy for Curry to reach his current heights. In his early days, he was looked down upon by other stars. Curry once told everyone: The first time Kobe and I played against each other, he was very disrespectful!
In the eyes of many fans, Curry's talent is actually not high. He relied on his own efforts to become the leader of the Warriors step by step, leading the team to win the NBA championship. In high school, Curry was too thin. At that time, he was not favored by everyone and encountered some obstacles in pursuing his dreams.
However, Curry never gave up on his dream. He chose to participate in the NBA draft and entered the Warriors with the seventh overall pick. Curry scored 14 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists in his NBA debut, attracting the attention of many fans. Curry, who was in his rookie season, was naturally very nervous when facing Kobe, but his heart was filled with joy and excitement. After all, Kobe was at his peak at the time and was a super idol worshiped by countless players.
But in fact, Kobe didn't take Curry seriously at all. When Kobe was being guarded by Curry, his eyes showed disdain, which deeply hurt Curry's heart. This scene is still unforgettable for Curry. He said: Kobe is very disrespectful. At that time, Curry was very thin, only ranked 170th, and he was still a rookie-level player. Kobe naturally dismissed him. In the 2009-2010 season, Kobe was like a proud wolf. He only had revenge in his eyes and wanted to lead the Lakers to defeat the Celtics and win the NBA championship. From this point of view, it is not surprising that many fans despise Kobe.
It is worth mentioning that Curry, who was not optimistic in the early days, achieved great success a few years after he came to the NBA. He not only led the Warriors to win the NBA championship, but also his three-point shooting ability is among the best. One of the best in the league, which really surprised many fans. Kobe Bryant once commented on Curry. He said: Curry is always consistent on the court. He never cares about what happened one second or what happens next second. He only strives to make his shots better. When all the seemingly ordinary skills are combined into one, this is enough to be fatal!
