Guarding Stephen Curry has its consequences, according to Matthew Dellavedova
Defending Stephen Curry is one of the toughest matchups in NBA history.
Matthew Dellavedova, a player who has faced the challenge of guarding Stephen Curry, has spoken about the difficulties of defending the NBA superstar. In the 2015 NBA Finals, Dellavedova had to contend with Curry's relentless off-ball movement and frequent screens set by Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr. The task was physically demanding, often leading Dellavedova to cramps during the game, which forced him to be carried to an ice bath for relief.
Despite the grueling experience, Dellavedova persevered and contributed to the Cleveland Cavaliers' championship run in 2016. Looking back, he acknowledges that he became known as the premier defender against Curry during that memorable season.
