Steph Curry says he sees 'similarities' between he and Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf

Back in February, Phil Jackson tweeted a patently silly thing comparing Steph Curry to former NBA guard Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf.

Flashes of Curry? Maybe. Ish. Sort of.

Dan is on Twitter. When he has flashes of curry, he runs to the bathroom.
