There is no doubt that Kobe Bryant and Stephen Curry are known for being clutch on the court. It is easy to see why Bryant found a kindred spirit in Curry, and it is clear that “Mamba Mentality” is present in Curry as well.
This past season, Stephen Curry averaged 29.4 PPG, 6.1 RPG, and 6.3 APG for the Golden State Warriors. He is clearly still at the peak of his powers, and we’ll see if Curry can win more championships in the future.
Snoop Dogg Thinks Stephen Curry Is The Closest Player To Kobe Bryant
There is no doubt that many people have been compared to Stephen Curry, but nobody is quite the same. However, some are close, and rapper Snoop Dogg once claimed that Stephen Curry is the closest player to Kobe Bryant.

It is clear that Kobe Bryant wasn’t the only one who saw a bit of himself in Stephen Curry. There are clear similarities between the two players.
