 Stephen Curry, one of the most prominent players in the basketball world and an NBA star just shared about 3 toughest defenders he has ever faced in his career. 

He is considered the best when it comes to the best shooter to ever pick up a basketball and Stopping him offensively, in any capacity, is a tall order.

It’s downright to impossible to even slow him down, but still, there are some players even he considers tough to beat. 

This week, in the Today Show curry appeared and shared his thoughts on the 3 toughest defenders he has ever faced. 

“There’s a group of 3 that always a light bulb went off when they’re on the court: Jrue Holiday, Tony Allen and Ron Artest,” he said.

Allen being on the list is also reasonable. The Warriors faced off against the Memphis Grizzlies a lot at one point. During those match-ups, Curry learned the hard way why Kobe Bryant once described Allen as one of – if not the – toughest defenders he ever faced.
