“I see a calmness about him,” Bryant once said about Curry. “I see a calmness about him. And I think it’s something that a lot of players don’t understand. So I think it’s very hard for the fans to understand what I’m saying. Because most players don’t get it. But there’s a serious calmness about him, which is extremely deadly. Because he’s not up. He’s not down. He’s not contemplating what just happened before, or worrying about what’s to come next. He’s just there. “And when a player has the skills, when he’s trained himself to have the skills to be able to shoot, dribble left, right, etc., and then you mix that with his calmness and poise, and you have a serious, serious problem on your hands.”
