Everyone falling in love with Oklahoma All American Buddy Hield’s sweet stroke, loves to compare him to Warriors MVP, Stephen Curry.
Oscar Robertson took it one step further — possibly throwing shade at Curry again — by implying that Hield is a “more versatile” player than the Warriors star.
“I don’t think any of these players can guard him, just like Steph Curry, they can’t guard him,” Robertson said. “Plus, [Hield] can go inside and he can rebound. It means a lot also other than being [a shooter], he’s a great basketball player.”
Robertson — one of the all-time greats in college basketball — was speaking about Hield — after the Sooners star was presented the Oscar Robertson Trophy on Friday.
Robertson took a shot at Curry earlier this year when he said his success was mostly due to “sub-par defense in the NBA.”
