With three NBA championships to his name, Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry is one of the most popular basketball players in the world. Surprisingly, his illustrious career could have met with a tragic end even before winning an NBA Championship. Curry's ankles were susceptible to a career-ending injury and would have caused problems for the NBA star if not for Keke Lyles, the Warriors 2013 performance director. As Curry sprained his ankle constantly during his rookie season, he could have faced a major injury. However, Keke Lyles helped Curry get better, which resulted in three NBA titles. 

Stephen Curry is regarded as arguably the best shooter in NBA history. Stephen Curry has led the Warriors to three NBA championships and won two NBA MVP awards, including the first one being unanimous. Curry's 2015-16 season is also known as one of the best seasons in the franchise's history when the 33-year-old star led the team to a new 73-9 win-loss record.
