Recently, Nets guard Tangelo Russell participated in the podcast program "Yang Yi Talks about the Ball" by sports commentator Yang Yi.

On the show, Russell talked about Warriors defender Stephen Curry.

In response, Russell said: "Curry is great. He can be said to be one of the greatest players in history. He has not received the praise he deserves. For example, I just called him one of the GOATs, and he did not get this praise often. As a player with less athletic ability, he supported the Warriors' offensive system alone, which is very difficult. He polished his body, continued to compete in the league for so many long seasons, playoffs, finals, etc. And there is only 2 months off to start the new season and continue to compete. I am looking forward to taking a vacation, but Curry is always polishing his game. This requires sacrificing his life to maintain this professional level. You will never see the other side of him. He is this side, just like there are yin and yang sides, but Curry is just There is one, he has no other side, you can't see what the other side is."

"His parents also trained him well, he is even greater in being a person than he is a player, and this is also the greatest praise for athletes."

Yang Yi: "When people talk about Curry, because he is an underrated player, he is not as arrogant as other superstars in the early stages of his career, is that true?"

Russell: "Yes, I think he is one of the most selfless players, and Jokic is the most selfless player I have ever seen. But Curry didn't say in terms of professionalism that he trained very hard because he had to maintain the best size to run around and create layups for his teammates. Without his running, his teammates wouldn't get those scoring opportunities."
