Before Olympia in Paris - Special praise for the record holder: US Basketballer delight in fruit
Basketball-superstar Stephen Curry highlighted German counterpart Andreas Obst explicitly after the intense Olympic scrimmage. "It's amazing to see this comparison: There are boys who model part of their game after me. He's a great shooter. I saw him last year, I saw him tonight. He always demands full attention," Curry said in London after the grueling 92:88 win for the Olympics team over Germany.
"He changed the game"
While the 36-year-old power forward from the Golden State Warriors made just one of his seven three-point attempts, Obst converted five of eleven free throws and scored a total of 17 points.
"He changed the game. It was exciting to play against him. It was a unique experience," said the professional of FC Bayern Munchen about the role model from the North American professional league. Last year, Obst contributed 24 points in the WM semifinal in Manila and significantly influenced the elimination of the USA.
Curry is considered the best three-point shooter in NBA history and holds the significant records. In the regular season, the power forward converted 3747 three-point attempts and thus nearly 800 more than the following Ray Allen, who played over 300 additional games. Curry and US flag bearer LeBron James lead the basketball squad for the Olympic Games.
