Stephen Curry, Tim Duncan-nya Golden State Warriors

JAKARTA - It's no secret that Stephen Curry is a pillar player for the Golden State Warriors. His figure is even said to resemble Tim Duncan, the legend of the San Antonio Spurs.

This is recognized by the head coach of the Golden State Warriors, Steve Kerr. According to him, he remembered Duncan every time he saw Curry's actions.

"I've said it so many times, Steph reminds me so much of Tim Duncan," Kerr said, as quoted by Antara from the NBA's official website.

What Curry and Duncan have in common, according to Kerr, are that they are both humble, humorous and full of joy off the pitch. However, both of them look "fierce" when they are on the field.

That's because both want to show that they are the best on the field.

"That's a perfect example of a leader, someone you can feel comfortable in the dressing room and can count on to guide the team on the pitch," Kerr said.

"That's what Steph has. A rare combination of qualities, and that makes him special," continued the coach.

It wasn't just the coach who praised Curry. His teammate, Draymond Green, said Curry was a person who remained humble despite his star status.

"He's set an extraordinary standard of character in that, because he's not going to sue," Green said of Stephen Curry.
