In the 1960s, the mantra was "Never Trust Anyone Over 30." But midway through the second decade of the 21st century, at least in the world of professional basketball, the phrase should probably be updated to something along the lines of "Never Trust Anyone Wearing Number 30." That's because those digits are sewn onto the uniform of Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors, who's known by legions of fans simply as "Steph." Curry is easily the most untrustworthy player in the NBA. This is not a criticism—far from it. Rather, it's an acknowledgment of the point guard's uncanny ability to deceive defenders.

After three years at Davidson College, also in North Carolina, Stephen Curry was drafted by the Golden State Warriors as the team's first pick (Curry was the seventh pick of the 2009 draft overall). While his first two seasons suggested promise, his third found him largely sidelined with torn ligaments on his right ankle, which required...
