Who better to get your NBA news from than Snoop Dogg? Snoop has long been a supporter of the NBA. As the legendary rapper has long been a diehard Los Angeles Lakers fan. Recently the rap icon sat down with Stephen A. Smith to talk about the game of basketball.
On an episode of Stephen A’s World, Snoop was asked the question of if a current player reminded him of Kobe Bryant. Bryant’s legacy is known as one of the greatest to ever play the game. However, Snoop had one current player on his mind.
“The closest that’d I say would be Steph Curry… He’s never considered the best, but he’s always the best when it’s time to be the best,” Snoop answered to Smith. It is hard to argue Snoop’s comments on Curry’s killer instinct on the floor.
It seems that every time the Golden State Warriors need the big shot, Curry delivers. Curry has built his own legendary legacy on the court.
As well as creating his own brand, just like Bryant. If anything, one would think Bryant would enjoy this comparison.
Curry’s game is one of the most feared in the entire league. The former league MVP revolutionized the game of basketball with his shooting ability.
You can’t tell the story of the NBA without telling a chapter on how Curry changed the game. Curry’s so-called killer instinct has helped lead the NBA Great to four championships and numerous other accolades.
Snoop sees greatness in the Warriors star when it’s winning time. One has to think that Curry gladly accepts this comparison.
There will never be another Kobe Bryant. The Black Mamba was one of one and a generational talent. However, it is hard to not compare current players to the legends of this game. Bryant and Curry have shown what it takes to be a winner.
