Steph Curry receives praise from DeMar DeRozan for his shooting skills

DeMar DeRozan appeared on the “Club 520 podcast,” where the Kings player talked about his journey in the league, his relationship with Kobe Bryant, getting traded in exchange for Kawhi Leonard and more.

During one segment of the podcast episode, DeRozan and the panel were discussing the reduced usage of the mid-range shot and how the game has evolved.

DeRozan praised Curry, revealing he was asked to score more 3s over his mid-range shot.

“It was a year where they came to me and said ‘you have to shoot more threes you got to do this’ and I am like why… Nobody can stop me doing this why you want me to stop doing this,” DeRozan said.

“I want people to understand like this the art of basketball, this is the art of what the game was built on. Everybody can’t be Steph Curry and that’s fine Steph is Steph is for a reason,” he added.

DeRozan pointed out his displeasure with the mid-range shot getting extinct in the league. He emphasized that young aspiring players need to learn the fundamentals of the game and understand that it is a sport played inside out, not outside in.
