Juan Toscano-Anderson claims no one can stop Steph Curry when he's in the zone
Steph Curry, one of the best players in the NBA, was having an amazing season before sustaining a left shoulder injury earlier this month. A former teammate has claimed that no one can stop the Golden State Warriors superstar when he's in the zone.
On "Outta Pocket" with Josiah Johnson, LaJethro Jenkins and Zach Schwartz, Juan Toscano-Anderson discussed the two-time MVP. Toscano-Anderson believes that Curry is an unstoppable player if he's on fire during a game.
"When he’s in his zone, you know when he's 'in his zone,' and he doesn't do s**t like that," Toscano-Anderson said. "He's not an arrogant person. When you push him to that point, when you make him mad and he's trying to prove a point or he's in his zone, then that type of sauce comes out.
"So, when he was doing that, I knew it was over. 'Cause when Steph's in his zone, nobody can stop him. Can't nobody guard him, bro. Nobody. Not a soul in the NBA can guard him."
Steph Curry and Juan Toscano-Anderson were teammates with the Golden State Warriors for three seasons. Toscano-Anderson had firsthand experience of watching Curry prove his doubters wrong last season, as he carried the Warriors to their fourth championship since 2015.
The two-time MVP also won his first NBA Finals MVP trophy to complete his NBA career. Curry has continued his hot streak into the new season, averaging 30.0 points, 6.6 rebounds and 6.8 assists. Moreover, he was having a 50-40-90 season before suffering a shoulder injury against the Indiana Pacers on Dec. 14.

Steph Curry provides update on his shoulder injury
Steph Curry suffered a partial dislocation of his left shoulder against the Indiana Pacers on December 14. He was given at least two to four weeks of recovery but could be out till after the New Year.
In an interview with Lisa Salters of "ESPN on ABC," Curry provided an update on his injury. The reigning NBA Finals MVP said that he's making good progress on his recovery and that he wants to return after two weeks.
"I'm hoping as close to that two weeks as possible," Curry said. "More so, that gives you time to really lock in on the rehab process and every checkbox you got to go through to get back to 5-on-5 action. Hopefully, the backend will be a lot faster than this frontend.
"Every day is getting better. When I first hurt it, they gave me kind of a multi-week timeline, and every day it's getting better. Trending in the right direction, so hopefully I can keep making progress and get back to get on the floor, contact and all that, get back on the court and play basketball."
