Charles Barkley is not buying that whole idea that Matthew Dellavedova is the next Gary Payton. Curry had an awful night, shooting 4-10 in a half court set, and an even worse 0-8 with Dellavedova guarding him.
Barkley is calling ‘BS’ on all the talk that Dellavedova shut Curry down, calling the notion ‘ridiculous’ during an interview on Bleacher Report Radio.
“People need to slow down giving [Dellavedova] so much credit,” Sir Charles added on The B/R Spotlight with Nicole Zaloumis and Ric Bucher. “Steph Curry will kill that kid in the overall scheme of things. He just didn’t make shots last night.”
I agree with Barkley wholeheartedly.
Not many people can stop Stephen Curry 1-on-1, and Matthew Dellavedova is definitely not in that class. He’s not the new ‘Glove’ either.
