The comedian claimed he taught the NBA star \u2013who now stands at 7 feet \u2014 when the two were the same height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-351-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8756\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-351-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-351-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-351-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-351-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/image-351.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While its unsure what hand Williams played in Curry&#8217;s career even if it was just offering advice, the stats don&#8217;t lie. In 2021, Curry broke Ray Allen&#8217;s 2,973 score to become the all-time leader in total 3-pointers made during the regular season.
