“Why they give Kev the play school size ball” – Fans roast Kevin Hart for doing photshoot with Steph Curry

Golden State Warriors point guard Steph Curry recently had a photoshoot with famous comedian Kevin Hart. In the process, the two celebrities stood back-to-back, and funny enough, the two even had their own basketballs that weren't similar in size.

While Curry, the two-time NBA MVP, had an official regulation-sized basketball, Hart, the comedian and actor, had a basketball that was similar to the size that children play with.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar jokes about slapping Steph Curry

Former NBA players are usually bitter when sharing their thoughts on the current stars of the league. However, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar isn't like the other former players, as he has shared his adoration for some of the players of this generation.

The former LA Lakers star was asked if ever young fans or athletes would inquire about tips in shooting the skyhook. Surprisingly, his response was a joke about slapping Steph Curry to change the game and causing young players to shoot more 3-pointers than ever before.

"I’ve got to go across the Bay and slap Steph Curry for him changing everyone’s mind about how to play the game," Kareem joked.

Kareem was asked if the youth asks him for skyhook tips:

“I’ve got to go across the Bay and slap Steph Curry for him changing everyone’s mind about how to play the game.” 😂

Kidding aside, Curry did an incredible job in causing the game to change. When Abdul-Jabbar played, the game focused on getting the ball inside and scoring from within the paint. During his time, the offense was focused on big men doing most of the work and producing for their teams.

But now, the game has changed. Offenses operate from outside the arc, and teams are focused on pushing the pace. The 3-point revolution started when Curry took the league by storm and showed how valuable 3-pointers are.
