[Saba Sports News] Stephen Curry has undoubtedly established himself as a legendary figure for the Golden State Warriors and as one of the greatest point guards in NBA history. His illustrious career, highlighted by two MVP awards, multiple All-Star appearances, four NBA Championships, and a Finals MVP, raises the question of what more he could achieve. At 35, Curry might consider a change.
This brings into focus Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs. Despite being one of the NBA’s lower-ranked teams, the Spurs are a young squad with potential. Wembanyama, a 19-year-old rookie, has shown flashes of brilliance, justifying his top draft pick status. The timeline for the Spurs’ return to prominence is uncertain, but if Curry seeks a new challenge, San Antonio could be an intriguing destination.
BetOnline suggests the Spurs are the frontrunners if Curry were to leave the Warriors, with odds of +300. Trailing are the Hornets and Lakers, with personal ties possibly influencing these rankings. The allure of the Spurs could be the prospect of Curry partnering with Wembanyama, potentially forming an unprecedented duo in the NBA.
Curry’s unmatched shooting prowess and Wembanyama’s unique combination of size and skill make them an intriguing pair. Curry, once an overlooked guard, blossomed into an NBA icon, while Wembanyama, with his guard-like skills in a 7’4″ frame, holds the promise of becoming an all-time great. For a burgeoning talent like Wembanyama, there may be no better mentor than Stephen Curry.
