Curry compared to Jordan

Sports Brief earlier reported on Warriors coach Steve Kerr comparing Curry to his former Chicago Bulls teammate Michael Jordan.

With 28 seconds left in the game, Curry was greeted with loud MVP chants after an epic performance at the Capitol One Arena against the Washington Wizards. As Curry was getting ready to take a free throw, he smiled as the intensity of the chants continued to grow.

He's the modern MJ. I used to see this playing with the Bulls. Half the crowd's got red 23 jerseys on and now half the crowd's got blue and yellow 30 jerseys."
