NBA superstar Stephen Curry reveals why he would sacrifice his dribbling superpower for the 3-point shot.
A magician with a basketball, Stephen Curry, can do anything.
The Warriors shooting guard is a generational talent who revolutionized the game forever. Standing 6-foot-3, the baby-faced killer has instilled confidence in millions of kids who thought the NBA was just a league of big men.
Chef Curry, a standout traveling reel, is box office, which was evident even at GSW’s recent visit to Japan. The unanimous former MVP is a threat after half court, with his ability to stop from the parking lot, considered one of the most influential players in NBA history.
Curry exhibits a skill set like never before, whether it’s his ballhandling, his ability to play off the ball, or video game shooting range. However, the 3-ball remains the superstar’s secret ingredient to success, something he also acknowledges.

In an interview, when asked to choose between his dribbling and 3-point shooting superpowers, Curry did not disappoint the shooting gods.
“The name of the game is to put the ball in the basket”: Stephen Curry on if he couldn’t dribble.
Today, the NBA is more dominant on guard than ever, and shooting is a necessary toolkit for all potential hopefuls who want to turn pro. While one might be seven feet tall, the opposition could walk away with the game without even bothering to get in the paint.
It won’t hurt to blame this change of scenery on Curry, who continues to flip the goalpost with his rare skill set.
In a recent interview, Curry was asked about his on-court superpowers and which one was closest to his heart.
When asked if he had to lose a superpower between the dribble and the 3-point shot, which would it be, the four-time champion had the following answer.
“My dribbling ability,” the reigning Finals MVP said. “Because even then I can run, catch him and shoot him, from anywhere. I love to dribble and do all the style and stuff, but you know, the name of the game is to put the ball in the basket.”
Well, we can’t disagree with the chef, given that he would have disappointed many of his fans if he had chosen to lose his ability to shoot.
