Has Stephen Curry and Yao Ming encountered each other in the NBA? 

Talking about Stephen Curry and Yao Ming, and their encounters in NBA history hasn’t got much importance and media coverage. They haven’t competed against each other in their NBA career till now. Comparing the two greats of the sport would be inappropriate because they haven’t confronted each other. 

On an NBA floor, Stephen Curry has accomplished all there is to achieve. He has won four titles, two MVPs, and one MVP of the Finals. In addition to this, he holds the record for most three-pointers scored in NBA history.

Curry’s legacy will be left unfinished for a long time after he hangs up his boots. The amazing part is that he has accomplished all of this while being minimal. He may not be growing in height, but he is improving with time.

Comparing Stephen Curry and Yao Ming on the basis of their physique 

Some players dominate the others in the NBA, a league of giants. First, Yao Ming was once a physical oddity who stood far off the NBA with a height of 7’6. Boban Marjanovic, who stands 7’3″, is the NBA’s tallest player at the moment. On the list, Kristaps Porzingis comes in second place.

Steph’s height of 6’2 is significantly shorter than the league average. Steph has established himself in a league dominated by giants like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kevin Durant, and LeBron James by focusing on his skill sets rather than his athletic abilities and physique. 

In the NBA, height is an essential aspect, but owning a lot of talent and tenacity is more crucial than height. As long as you are determined to consistently improve, Stephen Curry is highlighting the fact that anyone can succeed in the NBA.
