"He's running everywhere, and my back is broke, Nash said. I couldn't have stopped him if I was 100%. I'm dragging around every action, and Stevie Kerr is putting me in every action. After three or four more days of thinking, I was like Yeah, it's time.' And that was it. Curry went on to win the first of his two MVPs and led the Warriors to the title."
"You kind of invented something, Nash said. You've gone on to become the greatest shooter of all time by a long margin. Range, accuracy, dexterity, off the move, left, right, leaning in and leaning back. You do it all. I don't know if you could do that if you do picture-perfect form. Curry, whose shot has always been considered a bit unorthodox, pointed out that he would not teach his form to kids."
A preseason game featured a 26-year-old Stephen Curry scoring 25 points on 8 of 11 shooting while a 40-year-old Steve Nash struggled physically. Nash decided to retire later that season and joined Golden State the following year as a consultant. Curry demonstrated pick-and-roll concepts and displayed a revolutionary one-motion jumpshot with exceptional range, accuracy and off-the-move dexterity. Curry stated that he would not teach his own shooting form to kids and recommended Klay Thompson's form for instruction. Teammates and opponents praised Curry's incessant off-ball activity and lethal effectiveness without the ball.
