    Stephen Curry's Greatness Transcends Basketball

    By Lance Roberson,

    3 hours ago

    Stephen Curry's superstardom transcends basketball. It's one thing for fans to adore NBA superstars and for peers to speak respectfully of them. However, for a star of another sport to emulate Curry speaks to the reach the Golden State Warriors franchise player possesses. Recently, Spanish tennis star Carlos Alcaraz spoke about Curry's greatness.

    During the US Open, an ESPN tennis analyst compared Alcaraz's joy of playing tennis to Curry's with basketball. Alcaraz responded, smiling throughout his comments of the Warriors superstar.

    "I've watched Steph Curry play in real life... I'm trying to do the same things as he's doing in the basketball court, but it is difficult," Alcaraz said . "Probably same games, same feelings that we try to put joy on games."

    Alcaraz won his matchup last Tuesday. If he wins the next matchup, I'm sure Curry won't mind if he uses the "night-night" celebration following the young tennis star's kind words.

    While Curry's 3-point shooting made him famous, his smile captures the joy of watching basketball. Few players exude bliss as Curry while also destroying their competition. Even in a down season, Curry had moments of greatness, which bled over to the Paris Olympics.

    Curry's scoring explosions against Serbia and France reminded the world that the Warriors superstar is far from finishing entertaining it.

    However, the Warriors must improve the roster to witness Curry's basketball euphoria deeper in the playoffs.
