NBA superstar point guard Stephen Curry from the Golden State Warriors is so good at what he does that his fellow Christian athletes always sit up and take notice every time he enters the basketball court.
Baltimore Ravens tight end Benjamin Watson believes God deserves the credit when it comes to Curry's basketball prowess. Curry has won two consecutive MVP titles and is already considered one of the greats in the NBA.
"I know he works extremely hard to perfect his craft. But this young man has a God given gift to shoot the ball," Watson tweeted. "@StephenCurry30 Amazing."
Another NFL player, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, also cannot help but rave about Curry. "Ice Cold. @StephenCurry30," Wilson tweeted.
Wilson, who is currently engaged to singer Ciara, has often lauded Curry's achievements in the NBA. "That boy @StephenCurry30 is unreal," Wilson tweeted last year. "And he does it with straight class. #HardworkPaysOff."
Fellow NBA point guard Jeremy Lin, who is currently a free agent, also gushes about Curry's skill. "Steph's release takes as long as it takes for me to blink... #cheatcode. And before you try...save me the racist comments," Lin tweeted during the Warriors and Oklahoma City Thunder series. "This has to be one of the best series we've seen in awhile."
As popular as he is right now, Curry remains a very humble guy who always seeks to glorify God in everything he does. Curry earlier told FCA Magazine that although he prides himself for his strong Christian faith, he is not the type of guy "to bash people over the head with the Bible." Instead, he would like people to find God in his actions.
"I want people to know when they see me play that something is different, that I play for something different, and whether I'm talking about it [or not], I just hope by the way I carry myself and by the way I play the game, they can see there's something different about that guy. And they find out what it is and then they know. It's part of who I am," he said.
