NBA summer podcasts dominated by stories of getting 'cooked' by Chef Curry

On "Podcast P with Paul George," former NBA All-Star Kenyon Martin described the first time he faced Curry, as a New York Knick in 2013.

"Steph went crazy on us," Martin told George. "In and out, behind the back, in front of our bench men, and let thang scream."

Curry scored 54 points in that game, including 11-of-13 shooting from three-point range, plus seven assists and six rebounds. While the Knicks couldn't stop Curry, they did win the game.

Martin's son KJ, now George's teammate on the Clippers, shared his own story of Curry going off against his Houston Rockets in 2022.

"He gave us 42," said Martin, but it was actually only 40. "First half he was s-----. We're like, 'Oh, he's taking this night off. Came out in the second half, had like 40." It was only 30, but it probably felt like that after Curry poured in 21 points in the fourth quarter.

George also talked about his own scorching by Chef Curry. 

"I thought I was going to lock him up," explained George, a four-time All-Defensive team member. "I'm feeling good, I'm gonna put some length on him. I'm gonna get over those screens." And then Curry went for 50 points.

"Whatever our game plan was, we were scratching that by the middle of the first quarter," George continued.

Jeff Teague also talked about how hard he tried to stop Curry during a preseason game in China, only to have Steph go for 40 points, eight assists and six rebounds.

"I swear to God, I played the hardest defense of my life," recounted Teague, who didn't want to get embarrassed in front of the foreign fans. "I've never played this hard. Thibs (Coach Tom Thibodeau) after the game came up and said, 'That's the best defense you've ever played.' Steph Curry had 44."

Although it was actually 40 points, it was still a brutal moment for Teague.

"That's when I was like, I ain't playing defense no more," concluded Teague. "He's still getting 44 and I'm trying? F--- that."

That's Curry's brilliance. He's not just dominating games. Now he's dominating podcasts.
