Instead his game is all about his unmatched shooting technique and accuracy that has caused havoc in the league <a href=\"https:\/\/nbaanalysis.net\/monta-ellis-has-clear-answer-on-whether-he-expected-ex-warriors-teammate-stephen-curry-to-develop-into-superstar-thats-when\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ever since he figured it out<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on his podcast, Oladipo paid tribute to Curry, remarking that he looks more like a golfer than a basketball player, and this makes his achievements even greater.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would consider him the best ever. Yes, Steph Curry, yes, best player ever, yeah. And I would consider him that because he\u2019s supposed to be playing golf. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, really look at him. He\u2019s supposed to be playing golf. He\u2019s out there he doing his thing, he\u2019s changed the game completely, bro. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Oladipo says Curry changed the game<\/p>\n<p>Oladipo speaks from firsthand experience as a player who had to try and defend against Curry.<\/p>\n<p>He explained: \u201cI saw him. I had to guard him, I\u2019m saying it\u2019s really different. And he has changed the game so drastically that guys shoot 50 threes a game now, and that\u2019s only because of him. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I give Klay [Thompson] some credit too, I\u2019m saying as well that their style of playing in Golden State, man, he changed the game completely. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I gotta consider you one of the greats if you change the game like that, change the format of how we play as a whole.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former NBA star Victor Oladipo believes he played against the greatest player of all time.
