Stephen Curry played a huge part in changing the dynamics of the NBA. Big men and toughness dominated the game near the rim. Curry flipped it around in a decade’s time, only with his shooting skills. And, now 15 seasons into his career and with four rings, the hoops nation absurdly blamed the Dubs superstar after a college baller torched the Connecticut Huskies in a Big East regular season game.
During tonight’s college game between Creighton Blue Jay and UConn, 6 ‘1 Steven Ashworth impressed the fans with his shooting prowess. Ashworth dropped a deep 30 feet three-pointer against two UConn defenders, leaving the fans in the arena to erupt in joy. But, the exciting didn’t stop within the arena, it transcended to the NBA world. The deep high-arching three-pointer sure did remind fans of Steph.
Following that particular play, fans swarmed social media to blame the Golden State Warriors superstar for the college senior’s bucket. Everyone’s favorite Twitter Mom Teroya Eason said, “I blame Steph Curry.” Here are some more reactions from the fans.
It wasn’t the only three-pointer he buried tonight. By the end of the first half, the rising star had already sunken 5 in his 9 attempts, and with this hot spree, he can go on to break his season best of 26 points.
Steven Ashworth could turn into a college sensation like Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark with March Madness only days away. And, the fans are already comparing him with Davidson Steph Curry. The skinny kid, who put the North Carolina college on the basketball map.
While some fans compared Ashworth to Steph for his shooting prowess, other sections of the fans blamed the superstar for ruining the sport. And the Baby-faced Assassin responds.
Stephen Curry lights up the NBA world with a viral statement
How much ever appreciation Stephen Curry received for the accolades under his name, he also received the same amount of criticism. Moreover, some even tend to disregard the superstar’s success, stating his short stature. Nevertheless, none of these things impacted him as he continued to dominate the league, especially behind the perimeter.
However, 15 years into the league, Curry decided to respond to his critics with a straightforward statement. He recently updated his TikTok bio, which read, “Did not, in fact, ruin basketball.”
Notably, it came in after he stormed the All-Star weekend with an event named after him.
