Jerry West: Steph Curry’s finesse vs. LeBron’s force

[@IanFitzHarris]

Graham doesn't get enough credit for his excellent interviews!!!

[@BlindVeganRescue]

His questions and ability to shut up and truly listen is world class.

[@joseramirez2310]

He does, it’s literally all I see in the comments

[@charlesking3384]

I agree. This interview in particular I knew nothing about Jerry West and this just respect respect respect

[@natureboy5518]

A true champion! His knowledge of the game has helped advance the warriors to the most dangerous team in the NBA

[@rileydinkleman1022]

Evil Kawhi next time you see a Lakers fan. You better get on your knees and thank us. This man right here is the reason y'all drafted Curry, Klay, Green. That was all Jerry West. Appreciate the Laker nation and 16 titles whenever you see the success of your once Lame team. Whenever you feel a sense of pride about having 2 chips, remember a Laker got you that second one. Jerry West the greatest GM in NBA history. We gifted him to you guys. As long as you guys keep going to the finals, you better realize it all happened with the acquisition of Legendary Laker, Jerry West. We want him back btw. We love Magic and that's Mr. West's apprentice but still. He's not Jerry West lol.

[@daanishgupta]

Riley Dinkleman Why didn't you guys keep him before the Warriors?

[@rileydinkleman1022]

Daanish Gupta I think it had a lot to do with ownership. Maybe West wanted to become a part owner and the Buss family wouldn't allow it for some reason? I know Dr. Buss loved West but I think Jim Buss was a jealous hater who wanted to outshine the ☀️ that is legendary GM Jerry West.

[@rileydinkleman1022]

Rem Jester look at this new money, millennial thinking he's the shit. FOH with your non mentioned team cus your embarrassed of your organization.

[@rileydinkleman1022]

Rem Jester the level of disrespect. I bet your a GS bandwagoner. You kids have zero fuckin respect this is your God fathers. We raised you ungrateful bitches from the dirt and made you into something.

[@FSCJ-ft7nk]

he talks so simple and straight, very classy and smart man

[@realbro5548]

This man is a Genius! Simple, yet articulate. Very dynamic, not in his demeanor, but the content of his speech. Best Basketball exec out there.

[@TheTariqibnziyad]

yea it was him who strongly opposed the Klay Love trade, true genius.

[@jingqi9106]

Yes, Jerry can have strong opinions like the time the Warriors were considering trading Klay for Kevin Love. Jerry felt strongly that the Warriors should keep Klay and that if GS traded Klay, The Logo was finished with the Warriors.

[@willn8664]

Jerry also effected the choice of trading Monte Ellis instead of Steph which at the time was an unpopular decision.

[@jingqi9106]

@@willn8664 Jerry knew where the value was.

[@dalcowboys1977]

Jerry West = True basketball wisdom.

[@bonitaboggan8432]

He is right about one thing. I don't live in California, but the Warriors are the most fun to watch. They remind me of the 1980's Lakers who were equally fun to watch. They are worth the ticket price to watch the game. Great entertainment.

[@samgunz1]

So he helped create two generational dynasties... legendary

[@angusdog22]

What a great position Jerry's in. He gets to give his input without having to carry out the day to day duties and I'm sure people jump when he says to do something. He's the jedi master of baskeball.

[@justing41]

"Educated eyes "

[@JoanneJaworski]

Jerry knows basketball but he also seems very intuitive.

[@whoopdattrick9390]

Stephs a cheat code ,never gonna see another guy that confident to take the shots he does ..i alsogive steve kerr props for always giving him the green light

[@willn8664]

Mark Cuban needs to hire Jerry as an advisor.

[@Tehui1974]

How did the Lakers let Jerry West go again?

[@manchesterunitedno7]

Ask Buss kids.

[@TheBongReyes]

The Logo!! He’ll be missed in Golden State.

[@KD-se6ne]

"Curry the best player on this team." - Jerry West

[@MoXy33]

He is, durant is a more dominant player though.

[@victorseaweed]

Human Torch interview was in 2015 :)

[@MoXy33]

Doesn't change the fact curry is still technically better than Durant just not as big or dominant.

[@1313fidel]

MoXy that is soo true

[@dollaz5541]

MoXy you're nuts! Durant is the second best player in the game today only to Lebron James

[@charlesking3384]

Great interview

[@zachariah-binyisrayl5570]

This man is a fkkn MASTERMIND. When he speaks his "opinion"...u damn well better listen. Pay attention, Magic !!! 😎

[@Daz5Daz]

Jerry. Going way beyond the logo.

[@Rico510-j3l]

Funny how he says "if you have a pice missing and it happens to be right in the center" yeah we don't have a strong center presence.

[@richyuh]

Warriors management need to get Jerry back

[@TheTariqibnziyad]

the logo has spoken !!!

[@MrGodismypower]

Yo Graham..... Have a sit down convo with me. it would be very entertaining

[@Basketballjones50]

The father of splashes! The Logo!

[@DhutsonChannel]

curry beast best player ever

[@woohoowilly]

first. graham the man

[@sworldchamp]

The force is with lebron James

[@DhutsonChannel]

we bout to kill the nba postseason man

[@brandon-ls6td]

With all do respect jerry he plays with force, which can obviously be quantified in different way’s but I do disagree with that assessment

[@robertmartinez4247]

When your bullshit fancy teeth get in the way of your job @3:40 "understand at timmmthhh..."

[@JamesAllenJr]

What if I told you that losing Jerry West means.... You'll NEVER win a Championship again!

[@LiLsIcKViDeOs]

lebron wouldn't be shit if he didnt have the body and natural strength

[@hamalaballa2289]

Maybe if he wasn't big n strong he would've worked on his skill more when he was younger so that statement u made can go either way like if steph was a more athletically blessed he might not have tried to hone his craft coming up as a young basketball player u feel me maniga

[@usmanioa]

second. curry> lebron.

[@usmanioa]

You will look back at these comments in July and realize how right I was and how wrong you were. Trust me. And I will call you out when that time comes. Don't worry.

[@codysterling9974]

Omar Usmani dude they play 2 different positions and Lebron is on the downside of his career while curry is in his prime... And I'm a gsw/Msu fan

[@jonathanshoucair374]

You should have made these comments last July, you would have saved yourself the trouble of sounding ignorant.

[@sketchybook7826]

LeBron>KD>Curry

[@billgibbons6925]

Omar Usmani Durant>Curry>Anthony Davis>Harden>Westbrook>Kawhi Leonard>Lebron

[@enikita]

There is no comparison between James and Curry. Lebron IS basketball, he is complete: speed, strength, passing, scoring, vision, defence, leadership, mind, passion. The only outstanding skill that Curry has is shooting. He is an exceptional shooter, probably the best ever, at least I can't recall anyone who would come close to the shots that Curry sinks in on a regular basis. But other than that? Not much else. Average passer, not good defensively, among the best in penetration and around the rim, but you could argue that Kyrie and several other guys are on the same level, if not better.

[@Illmatic662]

An average passer and not good defensively? Lmao, have you looked at his assist numbers alongside his real defensive plus numbers? Both of those things are completely false. Kyrie Irving is also a terrible defender, one of the worst starting point guards from a defensive standpoint.

[@lazytotype909]

Lol

[@unclejrue4351]

crackhead

[@mariankostrzewski8767]

Shooting? Isn't the basketball a game about how to put a ball in the hole? So it is enough. And Curry does this in unparalelled pace. The pace, that king and his court cannot stand.

[@youre100right3]

eNikita You have an elementary level of basketball analytics. Steph Curry's value isn't just shooting. He leads the NBA in finishing from 0-6 feet in field goal percentage. His true shooting percentage is higher than most centers, by far the highest in his position. The ability to shoot the 3-pt goes beyond 3 > 2 but also the ability to stretch the floor, as Curry can shoot contested, 30+ feet, high volume, with a fast release. Curry maximizes his ability to stretch the floor with his passing, ball handling, and being able to play off-ball. This off-ball value is why GSW is the hardest team to guard in the league, probably of all time. Individually, he goes 30 points on less than 20 shot attempts on 50-40-90 percentages. That's better than Jordan's greatest offensive seasons. Collectively, everyone's TS% goes up with Steph on the floor, almost dramatically so. That is why he is the greatest offensive force in the modern NBA. You're an idiot to even compare Kyrie with Curry. Also his defense is quite good, especially for PG position. His passing is arguably as good as LeBron if you look at how much more difficult it is to make decisions in a ball movement system like GSW.

[@rileydinkleman1022]

Look at Jerry West keeping to his side lol. He wanted to trade Kobe for Lebron when Lebron was a rookie.... and now that Lebron is his teams biggest obstacle, he doesn't want to say anything to praise him too much 😂

[@alxfonso4924]

jerry west left the lakers in 2002 LOL ok bro

[@macmath3014]

Riley Dinkleman who told u that dumb ass shit, I'm the number one Kobe and Lakers fans, and that never was true, get your facts right

[@manchesterunitedno7]

I give you thumb down because your bullshit comments. Trade Kobe for Lebron? Jerry West not even with Lakers front office anymore when LeBron rode on his last high school year.

[@TheTariqibnziyad]

bronsexual Jerry west is a smart guy, Lebron isnt an obstacle at all, he built GS to stop his stupid team changing, 2-1, how is that obstructing GS ? its the other way around.

[@KartelBeatz]

Lebron James is better than Stephen Curry...

[@macmath3014]

Kartel Beatz guess we will see. lol

[@alanbecerra4282]

Kartel Beatz better at what he does .. curry is better at what he does .. Different players in different systems with different responsibilities
