Toronto Raptors Coach Praises Steph Curry’s Impact on Basketball
Steph Curry, the Golden State Warriors’ standout player, is not only recognized as one of the greatest basketball players in NBA history but also as one of the most influential. This is a common topic when discussing Curry’s place among the all-time greats, and Toronto Raptors head coach Darko Rajakovic recently made a bold statement about Curry’s impact on the sport. “He would be at the top of the list,” Rajakovic said of Curry before a game against the Warriors.

“I think Michael Jordan definitely changed basketball. But Steph Curry is the player who tops that list. We’ve never seen a guard of his size with that shooting ability and range that completely transformed the game. We’ve had very talented players before, but none have had the same impact as Curry in changing the league’s landscape.”
Rajakovic believes that Curry has had a more significant impact on basketball than anyone else, and it’s hard to argue with that assessment. The way NBA basketball is played today is markedly different from before Curry’s rise, and this can be attributed to his revolutionary approach to offense, shooting, spacing, and more. Curry continues to make his mark on basketball, and his influence is likely to be felt for years to come.
