Steph Curry and his Golden State Warriors have terrorized Toronto Raptors HC Darko Rajakovic over the decade<\/p>\n

\"\u201cI\u2019m<\/p>\n

Steph Curry<\/strong> came into the league as an elite scoring guard. But there are many scoring guards in the league who have not terrorized opponents to the tune of what the Golden State Warriors star has done. In the past decade, he has single handedly transformed the term \u2018elite shooter\u2019.<\/p>\n

Those redefining performances have netted him two league MVP awards. Those MVPs started the decade long dominance of the Golden State Warriors. Their six trips to the NBA Finals are the most of any team in the league in this past decade.<\/p>\n

During their second trip to the NBA Finals, Curry and his Warriors faced the Oklahoma City Thunder. On one hand were the NBA single season record setting Warriors. On the other hand, a Thunder team featuring the likes of Kevin Durant<\/strong> and Russel Westbrook<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Durant and Westbrook could not keep the Warriors at bay and lost the series 4-3 despite leading 1-3. One of the coaches on that Thunder team was Darko Rajakovic<\/strong>. Now as the head coach of the Toronto Raptors, he faced Curry again. When asked what it is to coach against him, the Serbian said.<\/p>\n

\n

It\u2019s a privilege for all of us to live in an era and to work in this era in the NBA when he is playing. I\u2019ve been (coaching) against him for a long, long time. I can\u2019t wait for him to retire. I\u2019m going to get drunk that night, I promise you that, I\u2019m going to celebrate.<\/em><\/p>\n
