1. Work Ethic
Steph Curry is one of the hardest working players in the NBA, one of those athletes who is the first on the basketball court and the last to leave. The basis for much of his success begins with the work that fans don’t see. He doesn’t have the blinding speed of Kyrie Irving nor the unbelievable strength of Russell Westbrook, however, there’s a reason why Curry is arguably the most dangerous player with a basketball in his hands. Though he doesn’t have the natural talents of his peers, he makes up for it, with a tireless work ethic.
