"A great shooter has no conscience.."
-Jay Bilas

Picture Madison Square Garden, the mecca of basketball. Bright lights, big city and the stage is all yours. How would you want to end the game? Scoring 13 straight to cap a comeback? Hit 2 big three point shots in the face of a 6'9 defender? Or how about live up to all the hype that has been pumped since your incredible performance in last years NCAA Tournament?..

Well Stephen Curry chose all the above. Last night in the Garden, Curry lived up to the hype, pouring in 27 points and 10 assists. As well as a major steal in crunch time that led to a dagger three..

But what I noticed most about Curry last night, is his ability to close in the big games. That, and that fact alone is what separates the good players from the great players. Every great player had the ability to shake off a bad start to a game, or foul trouble, to close the game whenever his team depends on him. He showcased his closing ability last night in the garden, and one other moment in the garden came to mind..


Next in line for greatness? Only time will tell..

Until Later,

Peace.
