Stephen Curry has more than earned the respect of his peers and opponents in the NBA. The four-time NBA Champion is widely considered one of the greatest shooters in league history, and backs up his consistent play each time he goes on the court.<\/p>\n
But it\u2019s The Chef\u2019s kindness that makes him so beloved not just as a b-ball legend, but as a human being. Tyrese Haliburton thinks so at least. The Pacers\u2019 superstar broke down why Curry is someone that a lot of players in the league look up to during an appearance on\u00a0The Young Man and the Three.<\/p>\n
Hali did the interview alongside acclaimed filmmaker and Knicks fanatic Spike Lee when Curry\u2019s name got brought up in convo. This led the 25-year-old sensation to speak on how much of an influence the Warriors legend has had on his career.<\/p>\n
\u201cSteph is the greatest human being I\u2019ve met in basketball. I\u2019ve never met a better person. And the thing is I\u2019ve never heard anybody say anything bad about Steph as a human being. He is so unbelievable. He remembers people. He cares about people. I can\u2019t say enough good things about Steph,\u201d stated Hali.<\/p>\n
This tracks. The Chef doesn\u2019t seem like he has a vicious bone in his body except for when he\u2019s staring across from you at the arc with the game on the line. His philanthropy only proves that he likes to give back after becoming one of the highest-paid ballers in history.<\/p>\n
Warriors teammate Jimmy Butler praised him similarly, saying, \u201cHe is the man. he is everything everybody says of him. more than anything, he\u2019s just nice. I\u2019m not talking about on the court.\u201d<\/p>\n
