NBA Legend’s Incredible Statement on Steph Curry vs. Sabrina Ionescu

Isiah Thomas had massive praise for Steph Curry.

While the NBA Dunk Contest wasn't exactly what everyone wanted, the Steph Curry vs Sabrina Ionescu three-point contest delivered the hype that everyone expected. One NBA Hall of Famer gave massive praise to Steph Curry for stepping up to the challenge.

Isiah Thomas spoke on NBA TV about Steph Curry and his willingness to accept Sabrina Ionescu's three-point contest matchup. It was a decision that Thomas believes makes the league better, and that's all due to Steph's willingness to take the challenge.

"We all know Steph is the greatest shooter ever in the way he shoots the basketball, but he's also probably the most gracious superstar ever that we've seen in our league," Thomas said. "Most superstars today, they're not stepping out like this. They're saying, 'I don't want to take the risk of probably losing.' He's so gracious, he's saying even if I lose, it's a win because it makes the game better. That's the beauty of Steph."
