Former Warriors, Mickaël Piétrus cashes on Stephen Curry: “It’s a big…

Not only have Mickaël Piétrus and Stephen Curry crossed paths on the floors, but they also have in common that they have worn the colors of Golden State. The French winger was also ultra-honest about the legendary shooter some time ago.

Today, no one questions the fact that Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter of all time. No. 1 in the number of three points converted in his career, the Chef is even way ahead of the competition and he should open the club of 4,000 award-winning shots by the end of his career. This shows the incredible talent of the man, but not only that.

Because if he comes from a family of fine triggers, the leader of the Warriors has also studied the game of those who passed through the NBA before him.

We think in particular of monsters like Reggie Miller and Ray Allen, who ended up overtaking the rankings. But while he was still playing in the NCCA, the four-time champion also expressed his love for a certain Mickaël Piétrus:

I’m going to go straight away and practice this three-pointer in Mickaël Piétrus’ corner… it’s going to make me a lot of money in the league

Mickaël Piétrus honored with the compliments of Stephen Curry

At that time, the French winger was heading straight to the Finals as a pillar of Dwight Howard’s Magic. Fun fact, he has in common with Curry that he played for Golden State before going to Florida, participating in the legendary upset against the Mavericks in 2007.

Asked by Brisco about Baby Face’s message, “Air France” had to elsewhere answered frankly a few months ago:

I heard about this tweet, I saw it when he won his first title with the Golden State Warriors. It made me happy because he is still an extraordinary player, seeing him tweet at the time when he was not known and him saying that he would like to shoot like me, it’s a big compliment !

That means that at one point in my career, I was the best shooter in the world (laughs)!

 

When he was drafted and when I played for the Warriors, when I was at the Orlando Magic, I talked with him, we laughed and that’s how we created a little bond of friendship. (…) If I had to say something to Steph… I love you!

 

Even today, the Habs are a popular figure among the Dubs and the Magic and this outing on No. 30 should only reinforce its status in the Bay.

When you serve as inspiration for the greatest shooter of all time, it’s because you yourself have made your mark in this field. Mickaël Piétrus ultimately failed to win a championship ring but instead set an example for some of the greatest players of the next generation. It’s not nothing either!
