Ever since he stepped foot onto the NBA hardwood, leaving behind his identity as Davidson's baby-faced assassin to become the unquestioned face of the Golden State Warriors, Stephen Curry has captivated NBA audiences. He's hoisted the Larry O'Brien Trophy four times, earned two scoring crowns, dazzled audiences with an endless reel of highlight-worthy threes, and led the entire Association on a complete offensive paradigm shift.
Naturally, that's thrilled Dubs supporters, who have gotten to claim the No. 7 pick of the 2009 draft as one of their own for 17 seasons now. But Curry's relentless excellence and trademark joie de vivre, splashing in triples with mouthguard akimbo, has also stymied one opponent after another.
