Golden State Warriors player Moses Moody has been speaking out on his superstar teammate.
Drafted in the first round in 2021, playing with Stephen Curry on the Golden State Warriors is all Moses Moody has known. It has been a charmed introduction to the NBA for the young shooting guard.
Moody is taking nothing for granted. But he takes issue with the fact that other might be getting too comfortable with Stephen Curry‘s greatness.
Speaking after a triumph on the road in the opening game of their playoff series against the Rockets, Moody is full of admiration for his veteran teammate.
Moses Moody savoring Stephen Curry
Recently the recipient of some praise himself from Warriors great Chris Mullin, Moses Moody is still in awe of Stephen Curry’s greatness.
Speaking to 95.7 The Game, Moody remarked that he still blown away by the high levels Curry is producing, even if he feels others may be getting too accustomed to it.
Moody said: “It’s sad to say, but it’s really become kind of normal around here.
“You see it so much and it’s still amazing, the same thing I’ve been watching since middle school.”
Payton II’s comments speak to Stephen Curry’s remarkable longevity, which is highlighted by the youthfulness of his opponents.
Two players on playoff rivals the Houston Rockets, Amen Thompson and Jalen Green, took part in one of Stephen Curry’s youth development camps.
Stephen Curry’s numbers still elite
Stephen Curry averaged 24.0 points per game in the regular season. And following Jimmy Butler’s arrival, he scored 26.7 points per game since the All-Star Break.
Curry is still capable of huge splash games, scoring 56 against the Orlando Magic in a match-up earlier this year.
In his opening playoff game, Curry scored 31 points to lead a road win over the Rockets, which has generated very little buzz. As Moody points out, it’s being treated as ‘normal’ for the 37-year-old.
He needs only three more points to reach 4,000 playoff career points. A big milestone like this could spark some more celebration of Curry’s greatness. It is fully deserved.
Moody notes that it is a little ‘sad’ that Curry’s heroics are taken for granted. These are the staggering levels of consistent success the Warriors star has delivered, leaving some feeling there is very little left to say.
