Kyrie uses ‘legendary’ Steph’s NBA award as a motivation that originally appeared in NBC Sports Bay Area

Steph Curry is the measuring stick for every boy and veteran of the Point Guard in today’s NBA.

The Warriors superstar is widespread as one of the greatest players in the league history in his position, and former Lakers Point Guard Magic Johnson often explained the goat of the position.

Depending on who you ask.

Mavericks Point Guard Kyrie Irving, who achieved his 14-year career with 42 points on Wednesday at the American Airlines Center against Dallas with 111-107 against Dallas.

“It’s incredible, man. I went record and said that this is the type for us Point Guards outside of Magic (Johnson) and Isiah Thomas. Steph was one of the most legendary players of all time, ”said Irving. “And for me it only tests my game against him and knows that you go against the best of the best what you want to play well. We know the games of the other very well, many matchups, but at the same time some of the things he has achieved, I still try to reach.

“A multi-time championship winner in our league is the most difficult. He is a (twice MVP) of our league, so that is really the barometer in which you can look and motivate him as a colleague. No jealousy or no hatred, just a straight competition and ready to admit when someone else is great. You take things out of his game, he takes things out of your game. It is a mutual respect, that’s how I feel. “

Curry and Irving were exposed to many times, especially in three consecutive NBA final series between the Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers from 2015 to 2017.

Curry and the Warriors naturally took care of the better ones from Irving and the Cavs in two of these three series.
