Stephen Curry Reacts to Mark Jackson's Comment That He's ‘Hurting the Game': ‘I Have to Talk to Him'

During Friday's nationally televised game between the Warriors and Cavaliers, former Golden State head coach Mark Jackson had some interesting comments regarding reigning MVP Stephen Curry.

"To a degree, he's hurting the game," Jackson said on ABC. "And what I mean by that is I go into these high school gyms, I watch these kids and the first thing they do is run to the three-point line. You are not Steph Curry.

"Work on your other aspects of the game. People don't think that he's just a knock-down shooter. That's not why he's the MVP. He's a complete basketball player."

Following the game, Warriors center Andrew Bogut had some pointed comments for Jackson.

Curry himself was asked for a response by Yahoo Sports' Marc J. Spears:

"I have to talk to him. I don't know what he means by that. If you can shoot, shoot. If you can't, stop," Curry told Spears.
