How the New York Knicks made Steph Curry a legend

Stephen Curry breaking the all-time 3 pt record has been a long time coming but the fact that he did it against the New York Knicks, makes this moment in his career seem more poetic. Curry has an interesting history with the Knicks and every time he faces them, he seems to give them a glimpse of what could have been. In 2009, the Knicks had the 8th pick in the draft and they made it publicly known that if they got the chance, they were going to take him. And the feelings were mutual. Curry’s camp even texted the Warriors assistant GM asking him not to draft Curry at 7, But they didn’t listen. since 2010 Steph is 10-1 when he plays in the garden, and that one loss came in the game that introduced Stephen Curry to the world. In the Mecca of basketball, Curry put on a performance scoring 54 points, while shooting 11 3s in the game becoming the first player ever to score 50 with 10 or more 3s. In 2013 some teams didn’t attempt 18 3s let alone pull up from 3 in transition. This was a sign that a huge change was coming to the league. As bleacher report put it after the perfomance, that was the moment Curry made the leap from star to elite. We know that Curry changed the game, but that was the game that changed everything for Curry. And New York had a front-row seat to it. . . . Can I get a “bing bong” in the chat?
