^^^ Definition of hyperbole for some of you smart dumb posters

:comeon:

99% of the time when people make big statements, negatively or positively, regarding an athlete or eam, they are reaching. However, sometimes the statements that seem like exaggeration are actually true. We'll start off with the current example.

Steph Curry. When it's all said and done he will be one of the greatest to ever do it. Book it.

This is not another Steph thread, let's give some other examples.
