STEPH CURRY OF THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS: A NEW POEM...

Seemingly Impassive: 

Steph Curry of the NBA’s Golden State Warriors…

A slight shake of the head,

Barely a glimpse of a frown

When a turnover is conceded,

Or a long three won’t go down…

A countenance of confidence

Exudes out on court,

Eyes knowing and predatory,

The focus creative and taut…

The slick assists, the inventive feeds,

The accuracy from downtown;

The inimitable towel draped over his head,

The Point Guard revels in his renown…

Yet his expertise from the free-throw line

And the seemingly sanguine facade
Surely stems from the loose-mouth chewing

Of his hanging and distinctive mouthguard…
