Steph Curry reveals how growing up in Toronto helped shape his game “It was different. I love the city. So diverse. There’s so much culture there. The Raptors, that was in the middle of insanity, so every game was unreal. It’s just too cold” “I lived up there for three years while my dad was finishing up his career” “I got to play against the best of the best in Ontario” “It was also kind of a nice shot for me to get away from North Carolina, where I was playing AAU and stuff, to just get a little bit of a different competition, a little different vibe, a different style of basketball, and build my confidence from there” “And then when I got back and started playing high school back in North Carolina, I think I was better off for it” “Me and my brother would go up to the Air Canada Center, go up to the practice facility, and we shoot for the first half, and then we go watch the second half” “We were junkies. We wanted to just get shots up and play one-on-one and work on our game, but we also wanted to go out and watch the best of the best do what they did”

Shaquille O’Neal asks Iman Shumpert if Steph Curry belongs with LeBron James and Michael Jordan Shaquille O’Neal: “Should we start including Steph Curry in the greatest of all time?” Iman Shumpert: “As a point guard?” Shaquille O’Neal: “No. With Bron, Mike, Jordan. Can we put him in there?” Iman Shumpert: “Technically, yes. Personally, no.” “I speak off experience from having to usually guard the best player. There are certain players that you guard that you can’t do nothing with.” “Steph, because he’s, I don’t know, he uses a lot of stuff, like to get open, like he going around screens. Like if you could switch and do enough and not let him get the ball, you might make it out okay.” Shaquille O’Neal: “And I never thought about it like that.”

Michael Jordan explains why he doesn’t believe LeBron James and Kobe Bryant can be called the GOAT. “The GOAT term isn’t something I’ll ever get high or low about.” “I never played against Oscar Robertson or Jerry West. We paved the road to the Kobes and the LeBrons.” “Don’t use what the next generation learned against the players who taught them the game.” “I’d have loved to play against LeBron in my prime. I’d have loved to play against Kobe too.” “It’s an empty comparison. You’ll never find the true answer to that question.” “LeBron has had an unbelievable career. Kobe, KD and the players of this era have elevated the game tremendously.” “I just don’t agree when you start trying to put one above the other.”

I love it.’” “After Mike spoke to me, I knew he was human, I was human, and that’s what I was chasing.”

Like, everything’s in line.

Michael Jordan says he couldn’t believe Charles Barkley thought he could guard him “The one moment that I can pick with Charles… we were playing Philly in the playoffs. And I guess I got into a hot rhythm, and I had about 40-some points.” “And Charles is yelling, I can hear him yelling in the huddle, ‘Who’s gonna guard this guy? Somebody’s got to guard this guy. That’s alright, I’ll guard this guy!’” “Now, I never known Charles as a defensive stopper… so the first thing he does, he breaks down into this defensive position with his hands up. All… everything looks technically, technically right.” “And I just laughed. I said, ‘When the hell are you going to start playing defense?’ And who taught you how to get in a defensive stance?” “But that’s the type of guy. He would take on a challenge even though he was not up to the challenge. He didn’t care. And that’s just him.”

Steph Curry reveals why choosing a smaller college changed his career “The only reason I think I’m as successful at it is because I got to learn with rest.” “Having gone to Tech or Duke or whatever, maybe I ride the bench my freshman year, and I don’t get that experience.” “Go where the best fit is for you, as much as you might want to have the pedigree or the resume.” “Damian Lillard, Ja Morant, guys who went to mid-major colleges, they’ll find you wherever you’re at.” “I’d rather play than just sit on the bench and say, ‘I got a power conference school on my chest.’”

Tom Brady asked Shaquille O’Neal what made him become the most dominant player in basketball… his answer started with one lesson from his father. “My dad was super hard on me. He was a military drill sergeant who wanted perfection.” “I missed a finger roll in high school, and he stopped the game, took me outside, and told me, ‘Magic Johnson, you need to be Shaq.’” “From that day on, every time I dunked, I wanted to tear the rim off. The biggest lesson he taught me was to never become complacent. Always move on to the next.”

Anthony Edwards reveals the one player he always wants to cook: LeBron James. “I always try to do that versus LeBron, but it never goes as planned because they always double-team me.” “I always try to cook LeBron.” “He’s the best player in the league right now. He’s been the best player for a long time.” “Him or KD, but like, LeBron… they never guard me one-on-one.” “In a world where they’re just playing man, there’s really no help defense, that’d be a fun day.” “He’s definitely the best player in the league, so that’s probably the only person I’ll probably be looking forward to cooking.”

Steph Curry reveals the 3 times Kobe Bryant recognized his killer instinct “One I didn’t even know about till way after the fact. It was my rookie year…” “Kobe’s validating your game, and he’s just seeing me play like for real for the first time.” “The second time… he’s picking me up full court in a preseason game.” “I shot it from probably 30 feet, and I made it. And then I act like nothing happened.” “And the third time is what you’re referring to in terms of him kind of breaking down the killer instinct, and I just hide it behind the smile.” “The joy that I play with and the smile that I have, you get to see it, but just the killer instinct that I had underneath and the competitive spirit that I had.” “For somebody to validate you like that, especially he’s not giving out compliments like that, that was truly special.”
