Last week, when they upset Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, the Los Angeles Clippers took care of business. After winning 134-126, Paul George and company finally had the last laugh, but only after witnessing Curry dunk 50 times against the Clippers.
In a recent episode of his podcast, George provided an in-depth look at what it’s like to face Stephen Curry on the basketball court. George revealed that he came into the Warriors matchup completely locked in on trying to prevent another offensive explosion from Steph. In the end, George just couldn’t do anything to stop the GOAT shooter from going off — again:
“I got Steph, I’m locked in, right,” George said. “I couldn’t stop none of it. It’s just his shot-making, bro. It’s good defense on anybody else. It’s just his shotmaking.”
Despite his status as the greatest shooter to ever pick up a basketball, Curry actually isn’t one who talks smack all game long — at least according to Paul George. Per the Clippers star, Steph reserves his savagery for the crowd. He does engage with his opponents from time to time, but for the most part, the Warriors superstar just lets his game do the talking:
“He’s the chirp that make you think, and I think his s**t-talking is what he does to the crowd. Like, he’ll hit a shot and then he’ll turn around and look at the crowd and be, ‘I’m him.’ He won’t necessarily say something to you, and if he does it’s like a quick jab.”
That’s probably even worse. Stephen Curry’s defenders — Paul George included — would likely much rather have him talk trash all day than watch him score 50 points over them. However, the fact that Curry can still score at will regardless of the type of defense that’s thrown at him is what makes him a true savage.
