NBA Legends Explain Why It’s So Hard To Guard Stephen Curry At 35

NBA Legends Explain Why It’s So Hard To Guard Stephen Curry At 35
Since his debut in 2009, Curry has been a nightmare for anyone tasked with the unenviable job of guarding him. But here's the kicker, he's 35 years old, with over a decade and a half of professional basketball under his belt, yet he's showing no signs of slowing down.
Think about it. At an age where most players are either retired, riding the bench, or reminiscing about their glory days, Curry is out there, still making defenders look silly and dropping buckets. But why is it so difficult to stop him, especially at this stage in his career?
You see, it's not just about the points he scores or the records he shatters. It's about the way he revolutionizes the game, pushing the boundaries of what's possible on the court. So, as we delve into the enigma that is Stephen Curry at 35, we'll hear from NBA legends themselves, those who've tried and failed to contain the Curry phenomenon. From the hardwood to the stat sheet, we'll unravel the mysteries behind what makes guarding Curry at 35 such a tough task. Welcome to the Steph Curry experience.

It’s mind boggling that fans like to doubt and hate on Steph when there are legitimate NBA players who struggle and praise him.

Well said

[@brooklynstacker]

It's actually not, he's really just that good

[@Harry_Ballz]

If you don't like Steph, you don't like NBA basketball!

[@JockeyShawn]

I think you can say this about many athletes though, not just curry.. he has many expectations so when he slips up people like to criticize just like any big athlete?

[@drewdelucchi7992]

What I admire most about Steph’s game, is not his shooting, handling, or tear droppers, it’s his conditioning. Dudes stamina in game is unmatched.

[@sabjot602]

And his unselfishness. Always making the right play and his teammates thrive with him. Never blaming or showing frustration to anyone for no reason just because he’s a star or a legend.

[@Mahmoud-mk9rw]

Thats what i just said bro same kinda thing your right its dudes stamina

[@rinnegan04]

i wonder how ayesha is after they bang lol

[@sisongkhamrasasy880]

His leadership as well..He is humble and his teamwork is unmatched ..He is not selfish with it .

steph traumatized the league, everybody is like don't let that dude get any kind of space don't let him breathe , and then even if you do he just gives it up to others and still drops 30 on your head

[@mildrededwards4465]

He’s the best and he’s humble! ❤

[@MrSports]

These Steph stories…really love them. I hate to think about it but when this guy retires…at least we have these video reminders of his greatness.

[@joycelago1315]

That's so true. Besides GP2, noone really excites me. Those 2 are my favorite players 😊. The game won't be the same after Steph's gone. I'm from Chicago, and I'm from the MJ Era. When he retired, I didn't really have any interest in watching, that is until Steph came along. He rejuvenated my love for the game 😍

[@jaybird4571]

​@@joycelago1315agreed fam. I'll be back to not watching the NBA. Not because I don't love the game, but because it isn't exciting no more.

With all the double teaming on him for almost 8 years and still perform at the highest level with his stature its unbelievable

[@simonecole4120]

With all this praise and he was not a starter in this recent All Star please refer to him as 2 time unanimous MVP

[@juliab467]

and the only player who have received mvp unanimously

[@Rumplegirlskin]

The most amazing thing about Steph is that he learned the true physics of the game. If you can, watch his Masterclass. Steph is on another level.

[@anthony7440]

Only the refs guard Steph 😂

[@oughtssought1198]

do fans in the stands get techs for sassing the refs? you just got T'd up bro if they do nor for being wrong just becuz the truth hurts when it ain't supposed to be the truth

[@ariesalbert]

There are so many basketball greats and I'm sure Curry is among them. But for me, what separates him is that he has the biggest Basketball IQ among the greats.

[@chty101]

Its crazy when you consider these are the top 0.001% top players and they cant even guard him.. Also, imagine having to guard him (1 on 1) at half court.. That's insane.

[@yo-mc7us]

Hoop Reports, NBA Lifestyle, Mr Sports. Damn you got too many channels

[@Melchized]

i noticed his voice right away!

[@rcuasito]

Steph reminds of what Proximus said "I wasn't the best because I killed quickly, I was the best because the crowd loved me". When PG mentioned the crowd it reminded me of that even though he is the best shooter of all time.

[@oughtssought1198]

I've never met him so maybe I've got no right to an opinion but having watched him on court &. in how many yrs of interviews as a Dubs fan the dude seems by far the KINDest "assassin" I've seen if this guy's got a mean streak it sure hasn't shown anywhere I've seen

[@lucianapereira-tz1vc]

i love steph man

[@MrSports]

So good

[@luellahobson6489]

When somebody you’re guarding doesn’t stop moving and you’re not conditioned for that it’s over! No one is saying you’re not good at what you do, you have to consider who you’re guarding!

[@TrevinHines41510]

People say its "Levels" to the game. Steph put a whole other Level to the game. Consistent distance and accuracy are unbelievable. He's the ONLY player that gets double and triple teamed the whole game. Lebron, Jokic, Embid, Tatum, Giannis, Luka...None of them gets overhauled like he does. He still gets no respect with foul calls either!!! Curry been the best player in the league since the bubble season, and the 2015 and 2016 seasons.

[@simonecole4120]

It's about time Steph gets 2 statues 1 in Oakland and 1 at Chase Center

[@Daz555Daz]

He still has the biggest engine in the NBA.

[@ATs7vn]

There’s two eras one before curry and one after… whole game has changed now🙏

Steph's nickname should be Gravity because he bends the rules of space time.

[@Whyyousnoopin]

Said it before, chillest commentary you can always have playing in the background

[@MrSports]

Much love brother. Means a lot

[@Bossman-pk3lf]

Stephen is the beast. He is the best in the league, and his snipers come out of nowhere. His movement is unbelievable for his age. Go, Stephen! Stay in shape and keep your head up.

[@taskforce141magz8]

His right there at the top. Thats why he has lots of haters too and criticize how he plays.

[@roberthunter520]

That's the Chef!

[@JRcomments]

They all say Steph is hardest to guard because of his conditioning so much so the refs have to get "not" involved and swallow their whistles most of the time Steph has the ball when he puts it up.

[@CaliswaginB]

People forget curry was robbed for 2 full years due to ankle injuries . Dude will be here for min

[@Rushx415]

You gotta add the clip where he told them this was there last win vs Celtics

[@-TruthHurts]

i remember the olympic diva team where Stephs teammates often refused to give him the ball, fearing he could cast a shadow on them...

[@reynelorenzo4095]

I always look for vids covering Steph difficulties.. Lol. Thank you

9:54 to me, it's always the best case when "Delli almost died" moments about guarding steph

[@jameshomer2949]

He is the epitome of Triple Thread, but applied to all the court. Plus probably his rather small body frame allows for better agility and stamina than regular NBA player. He has low set point plus not very high, so you could expect lot of blocks, but his shooting speed is simply lighting fast...

tbh the only weakness i see in his game is his turnovers sometimes, Like careLess passes, but overalL this man is a threat just being on the court lol

[@ceasaragye1594]

Yet he rarely shoots 8 free throws in a game.

[@jeffgoodsitt5006]

6 is way to high, Steph gets a call and a half average. The league is broken trying to make sure he gets no foul calls

Reggie Miller was the same way he never stopped moving

[@collinroberts3323]

Reggie was a mover no doubt, but there is more to steph than his similarity to reggies as a constant mover

[@obadiahfernandez5986]

Amazing an entertaining to watch Steph He is an invisible

[@mariahlin5556]

NBA isn't stupid, they don't give Steph "superstar" foul calls because he will make the game "boring". His shooting ability and off the ball movement is too exceptional. If he gets fouled to the free throw line often, he will break the game.

[@ceasaragye1594]

But it is so unfair. Imagine he averages 10 free throws pair game, he would have been among leading scorers

[@t.sangrini]

He would literally average 50 lol

[@Anthonys_S]

To me Steph curry is the messi of basketball . I’ve been a football fan all my life and I would watch any match with messi in it especially in his prime because you knew there would be some magical stuff. I’ve always been a casual basketball fan but actually getting more and more into it and I will watch any game Steph is in because again I know there will be excitement . When Jordan, lebron, shaq and countless others say your one of the best off all time I think it’s fair to assume they know what they are talking about . I’ve watched a few videos today and I love seeing Steve Kerr reactions to Stephs skills and crazy 3s . Steve Kerr was decent himself with a 3 , again when you take in all the praise from the who’s who of nba over the decades and then add that a coach like Steve Kerr says he learned that even tho Steph might go for a shot from where Steve and most coaches would call a bad position , it’s not a bad position for Steph . Steves own words “Steph is allowed to shoot anytime he wants and from any where he wants as he’s that good” That’s quite special really. Imagine Steph and lebron both in there primes playing together 😮😮 would be something else . I say “in there prime” ones 39 and the others 36 and they are still head and shoulders above most in the league 😂

[@brooklynstacker]
