Stephen Curry is going through a shooting slump right now, posting poor numbers on a nightly basis, the opposite of what he used to do at the start of the 2021/22 NBA season. The Golden State Warriors superstar is trying to bounce back and help his team face the second half of the season, while many people are trying to kick him while he is down.
Steph is one of the most influential players of all time, a complete legend, the greatest shooter of all time, yet some people insist on disrespecting him. We’re talking about an all-time player that has broken and set incredible records during his career.
Now that he’s not having the best time, people are trying to bring him down, trolling the 3x NBA champion on social media. Recently, a James Harden fan Twitter account shared a graphic showing some of the worst shooting numbers from Steph’s season, comparing them to tour dates.
“Steph shooting numbers this season look like tour dates,” @pointguarden tweeted.

This didn’t go unnoticed and several fans reacted to it, some attacking James Harden for the same reason, others explaining that Curry shouldn’t be an MVP contender and others defending the point guard from the haters.

I feel like it’s because of the way that he’s guarded. Most instances he’s doubled right after half court. He’s not getting the shots he’s customed to getting. Therefore he doesn’t mind passing and giving to his teammates. He’s just change the game of being guarded.

They’ll tell you he “owns” Lebron. This is the thing about Steph. Greatest shooter we’ve ever seen but if his shot is off, he can’t contribute enough to lead you to a win. You can take him out of the game. Even if you wanted to, you can’t completely remove Bron out of a game.

Steph will never cease to amaze, but he needs to calm the f*** down! He makes his three-point record look like it's granted because of how much he shoots. 🤦🏻♂️😄

True, he’s struggling fusho but I think it’s due to his emphasis on contributing on the defensive end, no legs. Trust me, he’s still a problem. He’ll be back

Yet they say steph is leading mvp candidate? I don’t buy it

Steph’s low level has affected his team and they hope to see the player bounce back for the remainder of the season. Klay Thompson’s return appeared to be exactly what the Dubs needed to take some pressure off Curry’s shoulders, but things aren’t working for him so far.
He needs to find his touch again, but this is Stephen Curry we’re talking about. If somebody can recover from this bad moment, it’s the Splash Brother.
