With the Golden State Warriors enjoying a weekend off before a matchup with the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers on Monday, Steph Curry was tuned in for the Portland Trail Blazers tilt against the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night.
After Carmelo Anthony drilled a baseline step-back jumper over Solomon Hill, the two-time Most Valuable Player chimed in on social media.
Prior to getting his shot off, Anthony created space with a flurry of crafty pivots. Curry praised the veteran scorer’s slick footwork. On Twitter, the Warriors point guard said he watched the clip of Anthony’s bucket 20 times.
