Steph Curry is the sort of player you cannot help but cheer for, writes williamfleitch
Good luck trying not to like this guy. Photo: Lachlan Cunningham/Getty Images I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like Stephen Curry. I mean, I’m sure there are Curry haters out there somewhere. I’m equally sure I wouldn’t want to be friends with any of them.
That sort of omnipresence in the world of sports, as any athlete who has ever achieved it can tell you, is a fast track to being hated — or at least to being picked apart for every possible foible, real or imagined. LeBron James can’t so much as cough without being yelled at on Fox News; Durant is forever being trolled on social media; Tom Brady will have people calling him a fascist on his deathbed. But you just don’t see this with Curry.
James became the target, and everyone went back to loving Curry. Because everyone wants to love Curry. Heck, he’s even great on Holey Moley: The three-point line was not instituted in the NBA until 1979 — Magic Johnson’s and Larry Bird’s rookie year — but you can argue that the three-pointer didn’t become basketball’s signature shot until Curry arrived on the scene.
