Wallace: 'No Doubt' Curry's Shooting on Level of Allen, Miller, and Bird

Interviews-wqam

As a shooter, is Steph Curry on par with legends like Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, and Larry Bird?

"Yes man, no doubt about it," ESPN's Mike Wallace said on 560 WQAM's Marc Hochman Show with Zach Krantz.

"He's still one of the more remarkable players that I've seen live. And what makes Steph such a great shooter, it doesn't matter what the rest of his body is doing. He can make off-balanced threes, his feet aren't set, his shoulders are twisted, his hips aren't facing the basket and he just releases it with that launch.

"It's almost like he's playing volleyball, he's volleyballing the release... And you expect him to make it every single time."

The Warriors possess a 3-2 series lead on the Grizzlies with Curry averaging 27.8 points and 6.4 assists in the playoffs.
