Steph Curry has taken “my dad could beat your dad” to an entirely new level.
In an interview on “Jim Rome on SHOWTIME,” Curry said that he and his dad – former NBA sharpshooter Dell Curry – could beat Clippers coach Doc Rivers and his son Austin in a game of 2-on-2.
“We would get the ball first, ’cause usually when you play one-on-one you shoot for ball, so I think we’re better shooters,” Curry says. “And then we wouldn’t miss.”
Curry’s wise to bet on his father, especially in what would surely be a shooting match between his father and Rivers. Doc Rivers was a career 32.8% three-point shooter. Dell Curry, meanwhile, shot 40% from three for his career. But even if we were to consider the father match-up a wash, given their age, this still wouldn’t be a contest. Steph Curry has been one of the best players in the league this year, and is likely the MVP. He’s hit shots that border on – no, go well beyond the impossible. Austin Rivers, meanwhile…well:
In other words: HAHAHAHAHA.
The Rivers family would likely be an easy win for the Currys. There are a few other father-son duos who could give them a bit more of a challenge: Andrew and Mitchell Wiggins; Jabari and Sunny Parker; the Tim Hardaways, maybe even the Mike Dunleavys. OK, probably not the Mike Dunleavys.
