yall are stupid if you think curry is the best player until he retires hes barely the best player right now

[@NicoEss]

He's doing 50/40/90 while being DOUBLE TEAMED and taking shots most guys couldn't even hit wide open with hands all in his face. He's insane and I still believe underrated

[@oldmennewgames]

@@liftbread so he is a bad player because he can run more than most??

[@AndYouAre]

@@liftbread Even if we give you that, Curry is averaging a career low 4.1 catch and shoot shots per game. What about the other 16 shots he attempts per game? And you are probably not an advanced analytic guy but Steph attempts less than 3 shots a game when the nearest defender is 6 feet or more away. A couple of things this tells us, those illegal screens are not getting him open enough so Steph is creating a lot more of his own shots, mainly the midrange and in the key buckets. The 1 thing you have correct is that Steph is taking less "double teamed" shots (Only 2 per game). But just so that you know, he's taking a career high 4.1 shots per game when there is no action. Just him going against 1 guy, no screen, no help defense. Here are those splits: 60/51/88 with a 74 TSP%... That means if Curry wanted to not call any screen help and the defense don't double him, he's on pace of having the best offensive stat in the history of basketball.

[@andy.3750]

Curry is insane, he's still without question one of the most entertaining players and has established himself as one of the greatest players of all time. Hope Warriors get it together so we can go back to back.

Steph Curry even at age 34, Gonna be 35, is Playing out of his mind. And He’s doing all this while still getting Double Teamed, Triple Teamed, to this day. And when you add in the fact that He’s Expanded his game even more by Making more of his Mid-range jump shots, it just makes him that much more Unguardable. I mean, the dude is already shooting nearly 45% from 3 and now 60% From Mid-Range!! That mentality of constantly wanting to get better and never being satisfied is being Proven and Exemplified by Steph. It is what Represents a TRUE LEGEND.

[@jdapaul1351]

Reminds me of MJ in The Last Dance. He said that as he got older, he relied less on his explosiveness and more on his craft and skills. Same applies with Curry here.

[@nick-ts8cw]

Except that mj was still getting worse. Steph is getting even better with age. He’s finishing 80% at the rim as a 6’2 guards. For perspective, Ja morant is finishing 55% at the rim

[@theonlygoodonehere2259]

@@nick-ts8cw because he is in the silver era, they let you carry, travel, and provide a variety of free space and ability for the offense, MJ actually had to play through contact even when he got older

[@Warren1221]

Curry never really had explosiveness. He relied on skills (dribbling, shooting, etc), strength and stamina, attributes that he can sustain longer.

[@enoch4392]

but 6'2" curry has had to rely on his craft and skill since day one that's what makes him so good now and still now.

[@Hargazer]

The thing that makes Curry so great is that he has a huge toolbag of technical skills but also little physical ones that he can leverage through his high basketball IQ to create scenarios where he wins the confrontation. An intelligent, experienced, skilled, versatile player on a team with multiple offensive options that can pop off at any given times is extremely dangerous

[@KyleNamiteVlogs]

He also has the ability to decrease his heart rate during timeouts. This helps him with his running.

[@BJayMac]

Soak it in. Appreciate it. Living history before our eyes. Living legend! Literally. It’s been a joy being able to witness his skills. What a ride. Hope it can go for awhile more

[@Supremely_Based_Takes]

The reason Curry is hard to guard at age 34 is because is he just as good as when he was 33.

[@Arcaonz]

he seems better

He honestly looked like he got better and stronger, he put on muscle

[@nealdutta4069]

when covering Steph curry. It's best to be up by ten points on them. And play white on-rice style defense and give up the lay-up and rally with 2 pointers with GS and maintain the ten-point lead. Because his team gets motivated and has high morality when GS starts making their threes.

Hes a shooter and hes constantly moving in fact the team constantly moving and everybody is a threat meaning you cant cheat on him the fact that hes good at his dribbles and hes ambidextrous sum it all why hes so hard to guard.

[@jael4132]

cause gsw doesnt rely on isolations. have curry do iso or even post up it would linear and easy to stop. honestly its not even him cause their playstyle havent changed its just because of the system all of them benefited that anybody on gsw would have a clear look or little contest. theyre more relaxed to shoot. curry was never known for slashing and dunking like drose he does running thru screens few dribbles then shoot. he could make thats drives now just because like i said other 4 gsw cant be wide open theyre relaxed to shoot

[@lukocius]

Ok, just give him the most improved player award already... He is already almost as great as MJ, 4 more years and will see where he ends up.

Not sure how this video started on my phone, but, geesh, guys, did this dude really use an example of Steph using an on ball screen to force a switch onto a b tier center before creating space for a three? That’s like the most basic way to create a shot for yourself as a PG and he used it as a “geesh, guys” example of Steph’s obscure repertoire?

[@donaldtrumpjr2132]

[@thompsonappliance3078]

He is like Bird. They don't need athleticism for their game. Their game is based off of solid basic skills, and the will to win

[@otakudragonlord._.510]

I wouldn't call Steph's or birds skill basic but your right

[@johndevadhas4787]

I feel like they have the solid basic skills as a replacement for their athleticism (and height for steph). But as we see other unathletic players, they regress around the same time as those athletic (relatively lower iq) players. But the difference with Curry is that he's getting more and more stronger and athletic as time moves on

[@jakedesnaque8910]

I somehow agree with you.. But, athleticism is not all but strength in jumpimg ability (if you ssugests that...). Bird and Steph have stong upper body... Bird is agile for a 6'10 player... SC30 is a 6'3" (AI is 6 flat & dame is 6'2") agile/quick PG that fans don'r give credit hiim more and both Bird & SC30 can dunk which means, they are also athletic (if not above average, they are not that poor in terms of atheleticism)... And btw, both have flexible body (which is rightfully because they are "athletes") & crafty with the ball... Therefore, I can say that both are athletic basketball players in their sizes..

hi there, Steph is Steph, no one like him. He used to annihilate defenders for a living. Now, he does it for fun and championships. The thing now is, he's ever evolving and his physique is stronger.
