Long article, but calls spending time around Cam and Cam being "smooth, effortless, in command, and having a blast" among other superlatives being a factor in his being the best at his craft.

Please let him come home to Charlotte.  The Hornets need Jesus on our team.

Here's the connection, for those that don't want to read the whole article.

 

 

Curry had always studied and drawn inspiration from Nash, another slightly built point guard who used shooting skills, creativity, leadership and instinct to become a two-time MVP. But the full picture of how Curry wanted to place his own stamp on the position didn't fully click for him until the summer of 2012, when he visited the training camp of the Carolina Panthers, one of his favorite teams. Curry sat in on a full day of quarterback meetings and saw a contemporary in Cam Newton, who won the 2011 NFL offensive rookie of the year by playing quarterback like a point guard in shoulder pads. In the playbook and on film, Curry recognized how Newton was juggling the same dozen or so basic responsibilities that point guards also have to manage in real time: game situations, momentum, positioning, ball protection, elevating teammates, staying three steps ahead of the defense and, when needed most, making something happen all by yourself.  

 

The difference was that even as a rookie, Newton wasn't hesitant, overly worried about mistakes or brain-locked by all the duties the way Curry had been. Newton was smooth. Effortless. In command. And having a freakin' blast. Curry realized that although a point guard has dozens of responsibilities, the toughest one is to let it all go and ball like you're back on Jack's country court. He had always known how to play the game. What Curry has improved on dramatically since then is how to feel it. "It's all become so natural," Curry says. "I think that's why I feel so comfortable on the floor most nights."

None about Cam. Instead they're complaining about how Curry isn't the best point guard.

That not only catches me off guard it makes me want to bang my head against the wall even harder.

I bet all the people that went to bed at the beginning of the 4th quarter last night are pissed.

Lol

Curry is such a great player. It would be amazing if he came and played for the hornets. I highly doubt it though he's got a hell of a squad in golden state.
