” He has an amazing handle, but when a guy can shoot from anywhere on the floor when he shoots from going left and he shoots going right.”

“And then to give the ball up he’s even more deadly with his cuts, with his screening, with his ability to come off screens.”

“I mean he’s just impossible to guard so I have not watched this guy, I watched him shoot shots that I’m like, no, that’s not a good shot and it’s like for Steph that is a perfect shot.”

But he’s a great finisher with both hands, he takes contact well so I mean this guy is phenomenal.”

Steph is Shaq’s favorite player

NBA Hall of fame, Shaquille O’Neal said,” Steph is my favorite player because again this is something I’ve never seen before and when he first came in. I hated him.”

“I am the guy that’s sitting on the couch and when he goes to the corner and he throws it up, no way that goes in and it goes in.

“And you know I wait, he ain’t gonna make this neither do I, and then finally he earned my respect.”

“He is my favorite player,” Shaq said. ” I wish I could shoot like that because it looks pretty.”

WNBA former MVP said,” I remember watching in 2014 when they lost to San Antonio in the playoffs and watching this kid put up 50.”

“When he did that in playoffs that was, when I was like, oh this is gonna change how people perceive basketball.”

“And now you pull up the parks and you see these kids out there shooting 50 footers and I just want to pull over and say there’s only one Steph Curry.”

“And that’s why I feel like people think they can be like him but they can’t there’s one of him he’s one of one.”

Candace added, “And I think in that way it’s fun to watch him,”
