OAKLAND – Not all NBA retirees are petulant observers throwing eggs at the Steph Curry Show. One who previously walked in shoes similar to those turning gold on Curry’s feet offers a snappy response to the grumps.
“They couldn’t do it,” Dennis Scott said Tuesday. “It’s just that simple.
“That’s why we shooters are not mad at him.”
Scott, as he spoke, was grinning like a proud uncle. He knows the deal, for he was a superior long-distance shooter, the Steph Curry of his day from deep. Scott is, in most respects, the Godfather of the 3-ball.
