“Still the greatest shooter on the planet” – Stephen A. Smith questions Warriors’ inability to bolster roster around Steph Curry

NBA analyst Stephen A. Smith has questioned the Golden State Warriors’ inability to provide support to Stephen Curry. With Klay Thompson moving to the Dallas Mavericks, the rest of the Warriors’ players will need to pull up their socks.

Curry is regarded as one of the greatest three-point shooters in the history of the game but he will need other players to contribute to the team’s success as he can’t always be the lone warrior.

In 2023-24, which was Curry’s 15th season in the NBA, he averaged 26.4 points on 40.8% 3-point shooting, 5.1 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game.

“I’m still looking at the organization as a whole, specifically Steve Kerr and I’m saying, ‘How come we can’t get this brother any additional help?’ We’re talking about a Steph Curry that still looks like he’s in his prime. Still the greatest shooter on the planet, still good for 25 a game, still good for 40-percent shooting-plus from 3-point range. Why the hell can we not get him (help)?” Smith said on ESPN First Take.

“One of the nicest guys on the planet. Teammates love him. Organizations revereihim. The city and area have deified him. Why in the hell can you not get somebody worth noting to come play with this brother? You would think people would clamor to do so. I don’t know if that has been the case.”

Meanwhile, Curry has signed a one-year, $62.6 million extension with the team ahead of the new season of the NBA.

The Golden State Warriors star averaged 14.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 0.7 steals per game at the Paris Olympics.

Warriors will begin their NBA 2024-25 campaign against Portland Trail Blazers.
