While shooting a career high in field goal percentage at 51.4%, Curry just seems to be getting better with age and maturity on the court. As noted by Bryant, he move as well as anyone in history without the ball. Even with two men chasing him around the court at any point in time, he still manages to get open enough to launch 20 shots per game. That's an amazing feat for a player that measures 6'3", 190 lbs. The fact he makes more than his fair share of those shots is what makes him scary good.

However, Spike Lee captures Kobe as completely human, prone to minor mistakes, throughout the film. For example, when talking to his teammates on the bench versus the Spurs he says, "Hey Pau, my fault I thought you had a quick shot right there, that's why I threw it back to you" (34:12). Kobe not only admits to his mistake, but he explains his thought process when he made the wrong pass earlier in the game. Candid interactions like this allows the viewer to relate to Kobe, as his humbleness and composure often makes the viewer think twice about who they're watching; is it one of the greatest basketball players ever or just an ordinary dude? Later on, Kobe explains that post-game inters are particularly tough because he's always "out of breath."

He became the perfect basketball weapon, a force who can't be guarded and can be stopped only if he stops himself.We all know about his great shooting and incredible range. But what separates Curry is that he doesn't need off-the-ball movement and picks to create space for a shot. He has an amazing ability to create his own space, and he doesn't even need that much, and he can shoot from anywhere on the court, so the defense can't ease up or sit back, even from deep.The combination of not needing a lot of space and having incredible range creates a huge problem for defenses.Whoever is guarding Curry needs to respect Curry's range and
