British Soccer fan reacts to Basketball - The Only Player That Matters

[@SanFranFan30]

Klay and Curry's injuries this season weren't "here and there" they were the entire season. Klay injured tore his ACL in the finals last season and was going to miss the entire 2019-20 season regardless, and 4 games into this season Steph broke his hand when Aron Baynes fell on him in a scrum for a rebound and missed 3.5 months, and only came back to the team for 1 game just before the season was canceled due to Coronavirus. On top of that Draymond Green missed a ton of games due to a finger injury.

[@Odysseus1999]

Then Kevin Durant tore his Achilles in the finals against the Raptors and was scheduled to be back maybe during the playoffs this year. Not that he’s on the team now, but for the Nets.

[@kingsosshootaiwillslapcash6300]

Kneeco before kd tore his Achilles his leg was already not 100% he had no business being on the court but he didn’t want his team to lose and they talked him into it, the rest is history and after he got hurt he felt some type of way with the organization and chose to go to Brooklyn with Kyrie. Speaking of Kyrie the Celtics are doing better with Kemba brown got snubbed from All-Star but at least Jason got in.

[@DP_1605]

Lucas Del Again as stated if you look at the sample size he usually misses time against below 500 teams so there record would be inflated. That's why u need context

[@nicktourloukis]

This video is a little out of date. Those numbers about Giannis are not accurate anymore. They have the best record in the league. He was still young and improving, he won the MVP after that and will win it this year, winning *way* more than 57% of their games. Early in player's careers it's pretty common for them to put up big numbers before they translate that to wins. Giannis is over that hump now.

[@alexl9799]

I'm pretty sure that winning % with Giannis is a lot higher now. Milwaukee has been really really good the past 2 seasons when he plays.

But at the same time, the Bucks are also doing good without him so long as Middleton is in. That's how strong the Bucks are

You should react to: nobody has ever done THIS before. It is a jimmyhighroller video and it explains the dominance of giannis and luka doncic, as well as the drastical increase happening in the nba's offensive numbers the past few years.

[@BJ-bm3vz]

Heres a few players you still need to react to personal highlights of. 1. Nate Robinson, standing at about 5'9" Nate had the opportunity to go pro at almost any sport he wanted to. A generational athlete for sure, the only thing that held him back from being an all time great was his height. Dude was 5 foot 9 so watching him out there among the giants was really fun to watch, he even won a couple dunk contests. Nate had hops. 2. Manu Ginobili, if you look at Manus stats he never really stood out but when you watched him play with no prior knowledge of him or his team you would assume he is their star player when he was actually their 3rd or 4th option at times. He knew coming off the bench and giving the spurs that little offensive burst in the middle of their games would make them go far. He had such a great understanding on angles to make insane passes and had some great footwork when attacking the basket. He wasnt the best athlete in the NBA but made up for it because of his fearless mentality of going out and doing what Manu does. Its really hard to describe the way Manu plays. 3. Nikola Jokic, hes a Center who was blessed with a point gaurds court vision. I was always sceptical about Jokic, I never understood how a guy so big and seamingly out of shape can be efficient in todays NBA where the pace of the game as high as it ever was. Jokic has magic like vision and passing abilities. I know theres a lot more players that have played in the NBA who are probably more "deserving" of a reaction video, but this is my own small personal list to Luka. You may not agree but from the countless number of NBA videos hes done, I think the way these guys play with be more intriguing to him.

[@notaidandobbins]

[@AlanNadeauIII]

Love the new setup, you sound a lot clearer and your video, you being in it, is a lot better. Congrats on the new setup.

[@alexkaguya3056]

well, curry can improve a team's offense by simply being on the court.since he is great at long distance shot he usually stretch the defense so much that it usually clear the area near the basket hence making it easy for his teammate to drive to the basket and make play by scoring or passing to the open man. he does a lot of thing that don't show up in the stat sheet. if u want to know how in more depth steph improve a team's offense you can watch "Curry's undetected gravity | All the ways Steph creates for others in the Finals" by thinking basketball

Over those 2 seasons, (start of 2017 season to December 10th, 2018) Giannis had only missed 8 games. The sample size is too small to use. They were 56-43 with him and 6-2 without him in that time frame.

[@jake_._rice7752]

With Giannis, the team sucked the most part of while they had him, but they played him a lot and developed him during those games. So when he didn’t play, his team was good enough for them to win

[@SaGeForReal]

This isn’t a current video remember these were in the height of Warriors being a dominant team. They still could have been dominant this year, if it wasn’t for Steph and Klay’s injuries. Anyways, just to let you know Steph only won 3 rings and he most definitely is the Warriors best player of all time. But to say he’s in the top 3 greatest of all time in the NBA? I wouldn’t say he’s in the top 3... maybe top 10... he definitely made an impact and the Warriors did start the whole 3pt shooting mania thing..stretching out the floor kind of fast offense. It’s still quite a stretch for me to say he’s better than Magic, Jordan, and even Bron. Yes statistically speaking Curry is insane and yes he won back to back MVP and yes he won 3 wings. But the things I witnessed from Bron and the times he literally dragged his teams to finals is crazy in itself. Curry still has more time to build on his legacy as do LeBron, but the new generation stars are also doing their thing like Giannis. While I still believe it’s a Curry, Bron, Kawhi, and KD kind of league..you can’t just brush off Giannis’ takeover/dominance these past 2 seasons.

[@marvinlawrence]

SaGeForReal no player has been the single most important player to any team other than LeBron in the last 15 years.....a lot of those stats were small sample sizes and misleading....wasn’t feeling the premise of this video. We’ve seen Curry disappear in Finals games and series and the Warriors still won. He’s never been the better player in any series with LeBron and he still won. Great player but a liability on defense and isn’t a traditional point so he’s not really running offense.....he is a great shooter and scorer. He makes them almost impossible to stop offensively but nowhere near the best or most important.

[@koda_manga]

For the win differential for players like Giannis, there's an important notion to note : "load management", that's how we call it when a player is purposefully out for a game just to chill, and it generally is a card the team drops against very weak teams : "we don't need Giannis to beat X team, lets put him to rest", that's a part that explains this case mostly (Giannis isn't a player that abuse of this notion tho, but note that it exists -> players like Kawhi totally abuse load management, never playing back-to-back games etc) Another thing is, two years ago Giannis wasn't the cheat code he is today, the Bucks started to build the team and system around him, it took time. Giannis is a special case because he never stopped progressing ever since his start in the NBA, so you might not take for granted his actual form, he wasn't like that in 2017, he's just constantly rise his level for the (now) 7 years he's been in, and it'll probably still go on till he reaches his prime, in likely 3 to 5 years

[@dshih199]

Steph Curry is probably the best Warriors player ever in terms of impact to the team and how much he's revolutionized the NBA. But we can't have Steph without his sidekicks Klay and Draymond. They're equally as important. Klay can cover Steph on defense and can shoot and score just as well as Steph. Draymond is their best defender and his great playmaking skill allows Curry to explode on offense. Their top two attributes Steph: Shooting and playmaking Klay: Shooting and Defense Draymond: Defense and playmaking These three compliment each other so well that's why that trio is so iconic to me and Warriors fans everywhere. It's just because of Kevin Durant joining our team, people will never appreciate us. Also fun fact: In the Warriors dynasty, they had a lineup called the death lineup which had Curry, Klay, Durant, Andre Iguodala, and Draymond. This lineup would destroy teams by miles. It was so fun to watch... for Warriors fans at least :)

[@jamesallen5591]

It happens in sports. A couple of years ago some people were whining that the Warriors were going to win ten championships. I laughed. Teams change do to injury, contract issues and on and on. The Warriors had a good run, and karma came to collect.

[@robertsilverman4928]

These numbers are a little misleading, because the teams are better when Giannis, KD, etc are all playing. But Curry's influence is definitely just as valuable as the video implies. (The Warrior's style revolves around Curry)

The amount of hate towards curry mostly came when Durant came to the warriors. A lot of people saw him as the recruiting factor that made Durant join them. Outside that, there is almost no reason to hate on the man, he is like the greatest underdog in league history. Some people just have that crab mentality, once he got on top people just can’t wait to pull him down. Lebron goes through the same thing, so did Kobe and even MJ.

Take some of these stats with a grain of salt. For the Warriors thing, they go on cruise control until the playoffs, where they unleash KD, and he proves that he is the best player on the team without a doubt. Also, the stats about giannis and westbrook, those guys don’t miss a lot of games so the sample size of games without them is tiny.
