President Obama: More fun watching Warriors’ Stephen Curry ‘than anybody since Michael Jordan at his peak’

President Barack Obama continued to heap praise on Warriors guard Stephen Curry while in a moderated conversation with Time and Misty Copeland, the first African American principal dancer for the American Ballet Theater.

Steph Curry is the greatest shooter that I’ve ever seen,” Obama said, repeating what he has previously said about the reigning MVP.

“And, and I am having more fun watching him than anybody since Michael Jordan at his peak. Even Steph wouldn’t necessarily say he’s better than Jordan yet, but the fact that he’s about my size and he’s doing what he’s doing…It’s rare where you get somebody who’s already at the pinnacle and then they take it another notch up.
