Answer by Lamar Hull, who played at Davidson College with Stephen Curry:
We have witnessed the greatness of Stephen Curry, who is well on his way to becoming a NBA legend. He is considered one of the top 5 point guards in the history of the NBA and will eventually be considered one of the best players to ever play the game.
I grew up watching Pete Maravich's Homework Basketball to improve my game. His story is still inspiring today! I give his biography video to young players that I coach who really wants to be great at the game of basketball. Pistol Pete will show you what it takes.
Pete Maravich is a basketball legend and played the game well before his time. His passing, scoring, and shooting abilities were out of this world. There are many similiarities between what Maravich did and what Curry is doing today.
Curry and Maravich both play with creativity and excitement. I created this infographic to compare the two.
As you can see, Stephen is on his way to surpassing Pistol Pete's NBA stats at every level. The game was different when Maravich played, but their stats are very similar now with Curry only having played 6 seasons versus 10 for Maravich. Where Curry separates himself from Maravich, of course, is his 3-point shooting ability. He will go down in history as the best 3-point shooter ever!
I'm excited for Steph and am grateful to have played 1 year with him at Davidson College. I wanted to be like Pistol Pete and my kids will want to be like Stephen Curry. What a great feeling!
