"He might be the most humble superstar there ever was" - Klay Thompson on the greatness of his fellow teammate and 3-time NBA champion

Klay Thompson believes that humility and unselfishness are part of what makes Steph Curry a great player. Speaking about the same in his post-game interview, Thompson said:

"Steph is incredibly unselfish and might be the most humble superstar there ever was and that's what makes him so great. Think he is very uncomfortable in boosting about his success, but he puts in so much work to get to where he is and it's a trickle down effect that inspires all of us."

Klay Thompson reserved high praise for Steph Curry as the two-time MVP had yet another great game for the Golden State Warriors. The duo are sharing the court for the first time in the playoffs since 2019 and so far things have gone extremely well.

Curry is coming off the bench for the Warriors as he recently made his return from a foot injury he suffered against the Boston Celtics in March.

He is averaging 25.7 PPG in three playoff games against the Denver Nuggets. Having played in the league for 13 seasons, Steph Curry has never been a bench player. Someone of his caliber accepting a bench role is very rare.

Curry ended the regular season, averaging 25.5 PPG, 5.2 RPG and 6.3 APG. He shot a career-low of 38.0% from the three-point range and never seemed to be himself since December. There were questions about how impactful he could be in the playoffs, but he has shut them down so far.

The two-time MVP has produced exceptionally well, considering his minutes restriction. By the time he is fully cleared to start for the team, Curry will make things extremely difficult for opponents.
