Chef Curry
Stephen Curry is not only one of the top players of all time - he is also one of the most important. Curry changed the game of basketball with his shooting ability. Long range shooting, the three point shot, is now the focus of most team’s offense. His greatness when it comes to shooting the ball has helped to influence not just the NBA, but the basketball world. Whether its college, high school, or just a pickup game at the park, the influence of Curry is evident. Kids today want to shoot like Curry, the same way they wanted to dunk like Michael Jordan in his day. There has never been a player quite like Stephen Curry.

Injuries became less frequent, and far less of a concern. In his signature UA sneakers, Curry would win back to back MVP trophies in 2015 and 2016.
