Moses Moody on the Time Steph Curry Humbled Him in Practice

Moses Moody spoke about his welcome to the Warriors moment as a rookie when he stepped to Steph Curry in practice.

“One of my first times, I ripped him,” Moody said on The Young Man and the Three. “I’m a rookie, I’m just coming in, so I’m feeling good about it.

“I just felt everybody in the room kind of go, ‘Oh, like he don’t know.’

Then Steph being Steph just couldn’t help himself. He had to teach the rook a lesson, Moody says.

“Then Steph did what Steph does and went crazy and all that, and I’m like, ‘OK, that feeling was right.’ I knew what I felt. Everybody knew what was about to go down.”

From one GOAT to another, Moody also spoke about how Kobe helped his footwork in the same podcast appearance.

The 23-year-old spoke about how the intricacies of his footwork didn’t make sense until he watched Kobe’s tapes.

“Last year, working with Dash Athletics, he was sitting there, he was trying to like, get me to understand that for a while through the workout,” Moody said. “But I was recording every workout… I would go home and watch all of my drills and stuff and some reps felt better than others and I didn’t know why.

“And It didn’t really crack to me until me and Dash started watching some Kobe footage and Kobe was doing exactly what he was talking about. Then I went back and watched my footage and I realized that thing, that simplicity of that one step, or those steps, and being purposeful with my feet and that opened it up.”
