Steph Curry and his brother Seth respond to critics and trolls after 62-point game

What a game and what a response.

It was pretty ridiculous that anyone — fans, former players, pundits — should question the legacy of Steph Curry after he and the Golden State Warriors got off to a slow start in 2020-21.

But it happened. There were lots and lots of tweets, statements and takes about the three-time NBA champion before he dropped 62 points on the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday, something he said he took personally (quoiting the Michael Jordan Last Dance meme, of course).

Curry had more to say without saying much on Instagram not long after the incredible performance that will surely stop all the talk for a while.

“Sometimes you don’t have to say anything.” Got you, loud and clear.

His brother Seth, meanwhile, had plenty to say on Twitter.

That last tweet may have been a shot at former NBA player Channing Frye who had this to say (transcribed by Yahoo) about Curry recently:

“This year, there’s a lot of questions, not of, can he play, but can he adjust his game without those all-stars to make everyone else better. I’m excited to see it, I think he can do it. I think the culture can do it and Steve Kerr can put them in the right situations.” …

“Yes they won championships, I guess that’s all that matters. But I think at the end, I’m just saying this as someone on the outside, it almost looks like it diminishes everything that was accomplished beforehand. It takes away the lore of the Warriors. Until the Warriors go back without him, it’s like, ‘Well, you had to have a stacked team with five Hall of Famers on it.’ … This is the question, and this is unfair, but can Steph do that now?”

Yeah, I think what he’s accomplished before — and what he’ll continue to accomplish — means his legacy is more than secure.
