During a recent appearance on the “Unapologetically Angel” show with WNBA rising star Angel Reese, NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal shared his admiration for Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry. O’Neal praised Curry for his unique skill set and unassuming appearance.
“You know why I love Steph Curry?” O’Neal said. “Because I’ve never seen that before. If you look at Steph on the street, he doesn’t have the LeBron muscle; he’s not 6’9”; he’s not 6’10”. He looks like a normal office guy. But he’s doing stuff that we’ve never seen before.”
“Because I’ve never seen that before. I’ve seen it a little bit… If you look at Steph on the street, he doesn’t have the LeBron [James] muscle. He’s not 6’9… He looks like a normal office guy.”

O’Neal highlighted how Curry’s consistent performance and groundbreaking shooting have redefined the game of basketball. Unlike traditional power forwards and centers, Curry’s success comes from his exceptional shooting skills and basketball IQ, rather than physical dominance.
O’Neal’s admiration for Curry underscores the impact the Warriors’ star has had on the league. Curry’s ability to change the game with his three-point shooting has inspired a new generation of players, making long-range shooting a fundamental part of every team’s strategy.
