How Steph Curry Is the New Roger Federer – The Wall Street Journal

Steph Curry has reached the Roger Federer Zone. Let me explain. 

It isn’t simply that Curry is among basketball’s greatest ever, or plays in an aesthetically stirring way, or is admirably sportsmanlike, or is an NBA champion multiple times over. It’s more of a vibe. As it was with Federer and tennis in recent years before he got hurt, there’s a public urgency around Curry, to drop everything to watch him play basketball, because you’re not quite sure you’ll ever see anyone play quite like this again.
