Coming out of college, scouts said he didn't have the handles or vision to play PG...
and that he'd probably have to be an undersized two-guard.
Well, he's been working on his handles and since then he has gone on to become a player who is the best ball handler in the NBA and has some of the GOAT handles of all time. Even the warmup drill he does has become iconic.
Curry is an inspiration to humanity.
He also became a GREAT playmaker, another thing NBA scouts said he would have problems with.

He's top 5 in best handles( Paul and Kyrie get the nod over him)
Curry is the every man..and people love that. Kids and even grown man can't relate to Lebron James(freak athlete) or Kevin Durant( very tall lanky shooter) Chris Paul received immense hype from fan boys and it was because you had a guy who wasn't shredded, or looked like something out of a comic book. So people root for him.

if currys a point guard than so is kobe
since they both look to score first and pass second while handling the ball more than the other guard who just waits for the 3 point shot kick out ( klay/fisher )
fact is currys a shooting guard that can pass.
