He plays the position of point guard (控球後衛). He and his teammate Klay Thompson (基利湯臣) are called the "Splash Brothers" because they are both very good at shooting three-pointers and are complementary to each other. "Splash" is the description of the rebound of the net after the ball falls through.

In spite of his boyish looks, Curry convinces his teammates and opponents with his extraordinary shooting accuracy and ball-handling skills. Perhaps this is why he's got his nickname - Baby-faced Assassin. Moreover, Curry likes to dance. He likes to do a range of dance moves when his teammates score.
