Stephen Curry, on the other hand, is a point guard who handles the ball a fair amount for the Golden State Warriors.

[{"selector":"#anim-139dc50c-ad22-4743-8b12-f86373c8fa12 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8e07463c-e818-42b1-b5a1-6f058b0c5fa5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-66e8a959-1606-4209-a86e-f0fd4e9ad807","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 150.91124%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
