Remember when Stephen Curry was somewhat of an enigma coming out of Davidson? There were strong (and relatively valid) questions pondering if Curry could even make it in the league, let alone become a starting caliber NBA player.

But has Curry not only become a starter, he’s become a star who is currently teetering on the edge of super-stardom.

He’s also apparently the second best clutch shooter in NBA history, this according to Curry himself who listed himself among legends known for their late game heroics:

"Alipour: So let’s say there are five seconds left in the game, one shot to win it all, and you get to draw up the final play in some Space Jam–type world. On the floor is Ray Allen, Jordan, Kobe, Reggie Miller and you. Who’s your No. 1 option?
Curry: Jordan’s No. 1. I’m No. 2. Then you go Ray, then Reggie, then Kobe. Three-pointer or not, same answer."

While Curry has no doubt shown some impressive clutch tendencies recently, that’s some pretty rarefied air to put yourself in – confident or not.

TALK TO EM STEPH!!!

Jordan
Kobe
Reggie
Steph
Ray

Steph is number one and he knows it, but he had to put himself at two to avoid the backlash.

 

[yeezusdisciple]

Lol kobe boutta hit the game winner in currys face next meeting

 

[rck3sactown]

Maybe the Lakers can trade for Ramon Sessions again 

 

[senorroboto2k5]

Clutch players are usually aware when a timeout has not been called and the game is still going on

thought this sounded like something antidope would say but realized you just changed your avy

 

[lawdog1]

I would put Reggie higher on that list than Allen. Actually, I'd go:

MJ
Reggie
Kobe
Steph
Ray

 

[Cashflow]

Jesus > Steph

and Kobe's "clutchness" is overated

 

[awwsome]

Doesn't matter cause Steph is the best shooter period.

 

[don ramon]

Exactly. The irrational hate he gets cracks me up but worries me since I always get a weird racial undertone behind the hate

def

 

[darthska]

Jordan Monta

Reggie Monta
...

Ray Monta

Steph Monta

Kobe Monta

 

[iluvjordanxi]

I don't care how clutch you are, I rather have the best shooter on the floor shooting the last shot. Ray Allen in game 6 :x

this made me laugh

 

[kevin cleveland]

I would rather have the ball in the hands of someone who can do everything with five seconds left, not just catch and shoot.

 

[lawdog1]

Oh, and CP3 should have made the list.

 

[awwsome]

I would rather have the ball in the hands of someone who can do everything with five seconds left, not just catch and shoot.

That would be Wardell

Ray is good for the last shot only if it is a catch and shoot, Jordan and Kobe aren't as good shooters as Steph is so by elimination...

 

[markangelo]

Potland bout to get their 2nd loss to Houston 

 

[kevin cleveland]

Oh, and CP3 should have made the list.

 

[IATT]

“@Caplan_NBA: #Warriors played 19 of 23 gms vs West (10-9), more than any other West team w 8 more in a row coming. Then 8 straight vs East, 1 being Mia.”

[lawdog1]

I can't stand when the Clippers are on TNT these days since both Chuck and Kenny pretty much just talk @#$% about them. Hopefully, this will be one of those days that they're just clowning around the whole time and don't bother actually talking about the games. Oh well if they do though - I'm used to it now.

 

[awwsome]

Warriors schedule is crazy

 

[duba169]

Ray had some terrible finals shooting nights in Boston. Not sure if that counts. I'd easily put Reggie two
