Golden State Warriors center Andrew Bogut often speaks in a blunt manner, and he was pretty candid in a recent Rolling Stone interview when asked the question everyone has been wondering this season: How do you stop Stephen Curry?

Bogut admits Curry is basically unguardable, no matter the coverage or type of defender a team tries to stick on him:

Bogut is right. If you put a longer defender on him, Curry will find a way to get separation, whether that's moving off the ball quicker, or attacking a screen with a more aggressive angle. If you put a smaller defender on him, he can rise up over the defender, or use a step-back or side-step dribble to create space to get a shot off.

What's more, Bogut does a nice job of campaigning for his superstar teammate to get more calls. Teams have been more aggressive with Curry this season, physically holding and grabbing him off the ball, and making sure to give a little extra contact on screens and fouls. 

The 19-0 Warriors take on the Charlotte Hornets tonight, hoping to extend their NBA-record start by going 20-0. Let's see if Curry's hometown Hornets can come up with an effective way to limit him.
