Steph Curry is in MVP form and in today’s Game 6, he was the closer. He finished with 32 points, 10 assists and 6 rebounds. Curry is quickly taking over the league and one Laker took notice.

Kobe Bryant has always been open about respecting the other great players in the NBA and he expressed how he felt about Curry. A fan on Twitter asked Bryant to share his thoughts on Curry’s game and he gave another short, but direct response:

Bryant got to see a lot of Curry early in the season and a couple of times in the pre-season as well. Curry has becomes one of the new faces of the NBA and this year it is all coming together for the guard out of Davidson.

As Bryant prepares to leave this game, we at least know that he respects the new wave of stars that will lead the NBA for years to come.
