CURRY vs KYRIE: An All-Time Shooting DUEL

[@Lifeissimplebro]

as a warriors fan I'm truly amazed when watching Kyrie in slow-mo. we can see how creative, fluid and complex his moves are: 1) jab-step 2) fakes the pull up 3) spins his body 4) between the legs 5) fakes the right hand spin move 6) switches hand 7) spins to the righ with left hand 8) dribble to the left with right hand 9) steps back 10) fade away pull up JESUS 🤔

Honestly it was quite alright to me. I have handles like Kyrie to be honest I think better. When you're out there mentally you just keep doing moves until you beat the defender and significantly create enough space for the jumper. What is impressive to me is the shot also I'm KDs face him being so much taller. But curry impresses me miss. Does allot less, keeps it simple. Greater advantage in that area. Trying to get to that level myself to be honest.

Keon Rice, haha. Honestly enough practice, Enough of losing until it breaks you to push yourself and be so good where no one can question it. Like MJ said, When your game does the talking for you. But honestly, Even though I don't know if you were playing or not but where I do get my confidence is from being so efficient on both ends of the floor. There's nothing that feels better then dominating a player on the defensive end. To let them know no matter what, no matter what. You'll be right there, Death stare blocking every shot. One of the beat feelings personally. In the world for me. Way better than taking ankles. But practice, Practice gives you all the confidence. Losing the worst way, in every aspect then getting back up stronger than ever, more determined, more passion, more drive, where in every moment your thinking about how you're going to get better and dominate. That's where the confidence comes from. But confidence is just the end result. Passion is what start's the fire. It's the foundation. Passion for what you love and being great at what you love. That's where the confidence comes from.

[@alexrobinson7127]

what makes curry 100x better than the likes of lebron, brickwood, and even harden is his off ball movement. its uncanny to have the best player in the league move so often off the ball. it makes the warriors so, so much better

[@theBIGZ0]

@Wolves bandwagon fan since 1998 not necessarily the playoffs but the Cavs, and thats because the Cavs double/triple Curry leaving Durant open. Before the Cavs series Curry was having the better playoffs quite easily, after the cavs series it's still close, as Durant had the better finals while Curry was better the first 3 rounds. The few years before Durant was on GSW he shot 46% and 43% from the field when he was the focal point of the offense, now Curry gets all the defensive attention allowing Durant to prosper where he shot 56% .

[@theinktician]

[@SwiperNoSwiping458]

If both these teams made the final it's sad to say GS would easily win, probably in 5 games. Without Hayward, Kyrie would have to play like this every game just for Boston to have a chance. Meanwhile if Curry didn't perform, KD, Klay or Draymond would step up.

[@MD-cy8uj]

Alex Rodrigues Exactly

[@waterfultriangles]

And the Celtics are doing all this without Hayward 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀

[@travz21]

Brad Stevens is probably the best coach ever honestly. His roster last year was horrible and they were the #1 seed. Now he's finally got an okay team and they're easily #1. With Hayward they might be able to challenge the Warriors. No chance without him though.

[@Treadston3]

They've sure made it work, but more is not always better. There are gonna be some problems and will take more time with building chemistry when he comes back. Nevertheless, it'll great when he does make his return.

[@iyado25]

Coach Nick, I am a GSW fan and a big BBallBreakdown fan. I have a question regarding Javale Mcgee; last year he did very well in the regular season and even better in the playoffs and he seems to fill a gap or a weakness in the GSW team in terms of hight and athleticism on both sides on the floor. However, Steve Kerr seems not to care for him, and I truly believe (I might be wrong) that if Steve Kerr had coached the team during the playoffs last year, he wouldn't have played him as much (and possibly they wouldn't have swept their way to the final). This year Kerr seems to want to destroy his role on the team since game1 that they lost against the Rockets and now he does not even play him at all except in garbage time once in a while. I know Javale is sometimes clumsy and he is too anxious which impact his footwork, but isn't the job of the coach to train him and give him more confidence, etc. To me, it is mind-boggling, but I'm just an observer and your opinion and analysis mean much more.

[@dubinbyfield9068]

iyado25 nba head , assistant and skill coach sees Javale way to often, for us to make a judgement. They know his ceiling and his lows in games they know what’s the best for the team. Way more than what we see, which is why they get paid so high to develop and maintain players

[@Edusm17]

iyado25 I totally agree. I miss McGee playing more. It’s a shame, I’m sure he will be traded next year

[@nopepotato1303]

In very crucial games / anticipated games where opponents try to get into your head, Javale is an easy target for them by being too physical with him. And Javale bites the bait like 80% of the time.
