Steph Curry was back to doing Steph Curry things Thursday against the Kings, as his 36 points led all scores and helped the Warriors get their first win in their series with Sacramento, 114–97.
The victory came without Draymond Green, who was suspended for Game 3 due to his actions late in Game 2 when he stomped on Domantas Sabonis’s chest.
The NBA on TNT crew broke down the game after Golden State’s win and Charles Barkley got Shaq to make a surprising admission about Curry and how good of a player he has been during his legendary career.

That's pretty cool from Shaq, who is one of the greatest players to ever play the game. And it was also great that had no problem immediately giving that respect to Curry, who has won four NBA titles.
NBA fans loved it:
Oscar: I’d just pick up Steph full court. 🙄

Shaq: Steph was better than me
I love how Shaq has no problem giving respect to other greats. Like the reverence he has for Hakeem. https://t.co/CORW9gO1eM https://t.co/335J2P9aq1
You know how crazy it is for Shaq of all people to concede this !!? https://t.co/rky2HyE06J
