If Steph Curry<\/a> could go back to his rookie 2009-10 NBA season, is there anything he would change about his game?<\/p>\n

The sharpshooting Warriors guard<\/a> offered a lighthearted answer before the 75th NBA All-Star Game on Sunday at Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d probably try to develop some kind of post game,\u201d Curry told the “NBA Showtime” desk during NBA on NBC’s pregame show. \u201cJust a little [something]. You\u2019re talking about skill-wise? But it\u2019s hard. When you start shooting like that, it\u2019s so much fun to see how far I can [shoot] it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Could you picture Curry putting in work in the post?<\/p>\n

It would be something to see the worldly renowned 3-point shooter break out Hakeem Olajuwon’s<\/a> dream shake, Dirk Nowitzki\u2019s<\/a> one-legged fadeaway or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar\u2019s<\/a> skyhook.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But, as Curry implied himself, the greatest shooter of all time prefers the long ball<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if I\u2019d change anything,\u201d Curry said.<\/p>\n

That is the right answer.<\/p>\n

As a 21-year-old rookie on a playoff-less Golden State squad, Curry averaged 17.5 points per game on a 46.2-percent clip from the field and made a casual 166 treys at a 43.7-percent rate from deep.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was then clear that Curry would make his money from behind the arc<\/a> — good thing he didn\u2019t change anything up.<\/p>\n

Since his first season, Curry has upped his total made 3-pointers to 4,233.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And, in case you forgot, he has won four NBA championships, won two NBA MVP awards, earned 12 NBA All-Star nods and has made tons of cash, too.<\/p>\n

No one would bat an eye if Curry wanted to add some post moves to his repertoire.<\/p>\n

But if it isn\u2019t broke, why fix it?<\/p>\n
