Soon a 3-point contest between the two men? Andreas Obst had the opportunity to meet and exchange a few words with Stephen Curry on the sidelines of the warm-up match between Team USA and Germany.
A highlight in the German shooter's career because the Warriors player is none other than his absolute idol. I wanted to let him know that he is my GOAT. He is truly the GOAT, the best shooter of all time. He has been a role model for me. “, Andreas Obst reveals to BasketNews.
During the friendly match between the two teams, the German finished with 17 points at 5/11 from 3-point range, better than the master in the field, who scored 13 points with a pitiful 1/7 from distance.
” I've been watching him since I really wanted to shoot. I really wanted to tell him that I appreciated it and that I enjoyed playing against him. I also asked if it was possible to swap jerseys or something. But we'll figure it out one way or another. “, continues Andreas Obst.
We recall that the latter revealed himself on the world stage by being one of the executioners of the Americans (24 points) during the semi-final of the World Cup last year.
” He can shoot, he releases quickly, he's not afraid. So it's pretty cool to make the comparison: guys who modeled part of their game after mine. He's a great shooter. I saw him last year, I saw him tonight. He demands constant attention. “, Stephen Curry had said about him at the end of the meeting.
The two teams, each with their elite shooter, could meet in Paris from the final stages.
