Stephen Curry is one of the most dynamic and explosive offensive players in NBA history. Despite being considered an undersized guard, Curry is the greatest shooter of all time, and he can give opposing players nightmares if they are tasked with guarding him. One such player was Jeff Teague during his time with the Timberwolves.
During a sit-down interview, Jeff Teague remembered the time he and the Minnesota Timberwolves played against the Golden State Warriors in front of a massive audience in China. Teague revealed that he played the toughest defense of his career against Steph, even earning praise from head coach Tom Thibodeau, despite Curry scoring 40 points in the game.
“We went to China, we played KD, Steph. I swear to god I played the best defense, the hardest defense I ever played in my life… There’s 100,000 people in the stands. I’m like ‘f*ck that, he ain’t about to kill me’. I’ve never played this hard. Tibs came to me after the game and said that’s the best defense I ever played. Steph Curry had 44. He made every shot… I contested every one bro”.

Stephen Curry is such an unguardable player that even a defender playing the best game of his life wasn’t enough to stop him from having an incredible offensive performance. Curry established himself as one of the best players in NBA history thanks to performances like the one he had in China.
Stephen Curry Is A Legend In The NBA
Stephen Curry is one of the most incredible players in NBA history. No player has influenced the game in the modern era as much as Curry. His prolific shooting, especially from beyond the arc, has encouraged other players in the league to incorporate that into their arsenals.
No one expected Curry to become the star that he did. In fact, there were criticisms of his size and build on Draft Night in 2009. Throughout the course of his career, Stephen Curry has rendered each and every one of those criticisms foolish and proved the people who criticized him wrong.
Last season, Curry averaged 29.4 points, 6.3 assists, and 6.1 rebounds. While the Warriors were not able to defend the NBA championship, Curry played very well. If Curry keeps putting up these numbers, the Warriors will always be a threat to any team going for the NBA championship.
