NBA MVP STEPH Curry reassured fans that he was ok following the ‘scariest’ fall of his career.
The Golden State Warriors star was left prone on the court on Monday night after he tumbled over Trevor Ariza and crashed down on his back and shoulders.
He needed medical attention as doctors cautiously checked for head and neck injuries before allowing him to move.
Curry was later cleared to return to the game and scored 12 more points, finishing with 23 in total, but couldn’t prevent the Rockets from taking a 128-115 win in Game 4, cutting their series deficit to 3-1.
“It was the scariest one,” Curry told reporters afterwards.
I’ve had worse symptoms and stuff like that from getting hit in the head but that was the worst one because you’re in the air for a long time and not knowing how you’re going to hit the floor, know that it’s going to happen, it’s inevitable, but you’re up there just trying to brace yourself.
“In the seconds afterwards, it’s just a scary feeling, hearing all those voices saying, ‘Take your time’. You just want to gather yourself, regroup and trust the process.”

I’d agree with the above, far too much credence put on the Bath win, who are a second tier English side, nearing third tier. We’ve beaten nothing this season really so far, just been consistent enough to keep winning. The toughest games were probably Munster and Cardiff last week to be honest, and we scraped a win over Bath away.
I do think that if we get a home QF and SF in the Aviva we can go back to Twickers, and anything can happen then, but Toulouse would be faves at the moment in my book, they’ve just got everything.
I’m a little worried about our second row options, Leo seems to be slowing and Browne is not really up to the white heat of a big HEC game I think. Today’s selection should be very interesting.
I certainly don’t fear Sarries or Quins though, Quins in particular have nowhere near the experience needed, and Sarries are one paced.
Agree completely! We seem to have forgotten that we have a relatively soft pool this year! To be anything but well in charge at this stage would be a disaster!
My big worry is what happens when we play a team with a serious pack and a good backline (eg Northampton for H1 of Heino Final). Defensively we leaked a lot of scores in that first half! If you were to have thrown some fitness and an out and out 7 into that Northampton team – what would the result have been? Haven’t forgotten what Clermont did to us in the RDS a couple of years ago (except on the scoreboard of course).
