People don't like to hear the truth that their idols could be beaten by a 6'3" dude. It goes against their belief that basketball is a big man's sport.

I'll take that one step further. When people judge the greatness of individual players, they always talk about defense being half the game. They also look at all the aspects of a player individually and how they make him the basketball equivalent of baseball's "five tool" players. But that thinking leads people to rank players based on a concept of how much they'd like to match up with the guy on the court *rather than* the total impact of the player on wins. Steph's defense, while never mistaken for perimeter shut-down quality, is good for what they ask him to do as part of TEAM defense. As long as a team is five players, true greatness should be judged by impact on a compatible team, not imaginary one-on-one.

I think he totally deserves to be on the Mt. Rushmore and he is currently ranked #4-5 on my Top 10 List, kinda depends what day you ask me. One describtion I like to give about why Steph is so good, is that he has the most synergistic and complementary skill set I've ever seen. It's like god just gave him every single skill set it needs to enhance his shooting, and made him elite level. Accuracy, quick release, incredible handling, great balance, can take touch well, good pace, outstanding layup package, amazing passing, and conditioning that is probably unmatched. If you think about it, EVERY single skills of his is complementing his presence and magnificence of being the GOAT shooter. All of this leads to a player that actively influences and dictates the offense even when he doesn't have the ball, that's why for me personally, he still counts as a PG. The greatest ever, to be precise.

Hey bennysnickers I lov what you pointed out here about Steph and I agree with you! Now check out what I'm saying about Steph vs Magic, and let me know what you think? Here's the counter argument: Steph is much better scorer than Magic. Magic needed the help of a top 3 all time player (Kareem) for all 5 of his rings, while Steph won multiple rings without another top 75 player. Magic inherited a great team, Steph built a dynasty out of a bad side. Lakers had 3 no.1 picks (Kareem, Magic, worthy) and a no.4 pick (Scott), GS have a mid lottery, late lottery and 2nd round picks as its core. The magic version of a PG is now irrelevant largely bcs of Steph. In today's game he'd only be marginally better than Ben Simmons. Minus his defense. Notes1: He built a warriors dynasty out of nothing! With no top draft picks. And won two championships without a top 75 player. Notes2: If Curry had a Kareem type big, he'd easily surpass Magic's assists average. If Curry wasn't always the best shooter on the floor, he'd be forced to pass more. If we're going to compare a pass first PG best stats (assists), we have to compare a shoot first PG's best stats (scoring). Magic had zero gravity because Kareem was the real threat. Magic was amazing, but Kareem was even better. Kareem and Magic are both top 10 of all time players. Curry's best teammate was KD, for only 3 years, and KD isn't even top 10 of all time. Curry's next best teammate isn't even in the top 75 of all time. Also its important to note that Steph avg 9.0 Asst per game. Right before Steve Kerr became Coach.
@amirampeled9 ай бұрын
@@lynchone117 a lot of good points, except for the Magic Simmons comparison. That was disrespectful. But you're missing the whole picture. If you're arguing who's the best offensive player, than you'd be right. Curry is a better offensive player than Magic. I'd argue he's the GOAT offensive player. But Magic advantage in defense overtakes here. Magic, as a rookie, played center in a game 7 finals to win a chip, practically a game winner and FMVP. A few other points, teammates and championship don't matter as much in GOAT debates as individual accolades like MVPs, FMVPs and such. In a team perspective, curry and Durant is not such a huge underdog to Magic and Kareem. And pick numbers have nothing to do with strength of players, just means GS did a better job drafting. And even though Klay and Dray didn't make the top 75, they are arguably better than some players there, Klay definitely should have made it in. Now saying Curry built GS is a huge stretch. That is more Kerr and Bob Mayers than Curry. Just like Phil gets a lot of credit for Kobe and Jordan's rings. Having said all that they ARE close. I mean they are both top 10 and should be the undisputed top two PGs.

@@amirampeled no you missed my point about the magic/simmons I'm talking about defense and magic is not a good defender and never was period,he is no stopper one on one! And guys bring up that narrative every time like magic played center every time ,playoffs,reg.season games. That was just one game , so after the game he dominated so now all of a sudden hes this great defender,BS don't even insult my intelligence! Magic inherited a dynasty he was born with great Lakers teammates(HOFers) and had the best player at center too. Next you win championships with teammates period, Jordan is the only person I know of that won two of his chips without an all star player in 91 and 98. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqvbompmhc-heZosi=GHRGUWlaPKwkOfmo I didn't even have to say because of Curry all of GWS success is attributed to him because " his coach steve kerr said it himself more than once" ,see I'm not dumb to what happened, With Steph personality,work ethic,openness to change none of their success happens he's the one that puts people in those seats,the jerseys sales,marketing, the owners went from nothing to the warriors worth over 5billion because of the Chef,people want to play with a winner, the owners took a gamble with him and won big for a kid with bad ankle, who could only shoot! Its Steph's team and it has been since that faithful day at MSG 54point outing! Once again like Kerr said you win with, all time great players and superstars those where his words not mine! This videos say it all why Curry is the Warriors their Success is because of him! Don't get it twisted why they have a Dynasty!

Going through all the comments as well as the video has me point out an aspe ct no one else has...Steph moves without the ball at a level rarely equaled....his ability to get open and re-locate contributes to his three point shooting. However, after years of watching the NBA and witnessing when the three point shot was introduced (I even remember when it was first done in the ABA), I had never seen the kinds of moves Steph makes to get off a three pointer....that is what I think really dazzled us all at first...then it was the crazy efficiency he achieved shooting from that far away.

The problem with this argument is that the modern NBA has virtually erased the lines between positions. A 6'11'' "five" led the NBA champions and was third in the league in assists last season. A 7'0" "four" has MADE more three-pointers in his career than Larry Bird ATTEMPTED. In 1980s/1990s parlance, Curry would be a two, no question; he has averaged 6.5 assists for his career, one more per game than Michael Jordan, whom no one would mistake for a point guard. Curry is listed as a PG primarily because Klay Thompson doesn't pass.

Here's a few things to consider in the convo. 1. Curry is 1 injury and 1 bs suspension from 6 championship like Jordan and being the only player to 4-5peat. 2. He's the only person in the top 10 under 6'6, so per in/lb he's probably the GOAT. 3. Unlike everyone else in the top 10, Curry has always been an underdog without any glaring gifts or talents his whole life. He basically dragged himself and his teams to the top through sheer will alone by playing the game his way. Add all this up, plus his humility, leadership, and tenacity, Curry is definitely someone that deserves to be looked up to and praised. I just pray he's able to get 2 more before he retires so he can shut the critics up. Here's my top 10 list: 1. Jordan 2. Kobe 3. Kareem 4. Magic 5. Duncan 6. Shaq 7. Bird 8. Curry 9. Lebron 10. Hakeem He'll be ahead of Magic if he gets 1 more. If he gets 2 more, I'll have to put him ahead of Kobe.

IMO the old way of playing basketball, positioning of players, is over. It’s difficult to say who is best at what position when in this era, it’s about position-less basketball. If you want to go by labeling players to a specific position, then yes Magic is the man. But in current basketball, players like Steph are combo guards that revolutionized the game. Even the all star game is now voted in as “back court front count” rather then the old way of PG, SG, SF, PF, C Steph has changed an entire generation of how the game is played.

If Rich Paul can argue that Lebron is the GOAT because of the extra pressure of social media that MJ didn't have to deal with then I can argue that Steph is the GOAT PG over Magic because of the over all impact he's had on the game of basketball...and the fact that Magic played his entire career with Kareem someone also considered to be the GOAT by many! Having two top five players of all time on one team makes it pretty easy to go to finals and win chips! As apposed to joining a 30 win team and helping to bring them up from the bottom! Yes I'm a bias Curry fan...no apologies! Great job! Thank you for this video!

Magic was an assist guy not a scorer. Steph is a scorer. Stephs scoring has a bigger impact than magic's assists. Also stephs impact that causes spacing on the floor is unmatched. I dont see why people cant understand this. Steph is a bigger threat than magic which makes Curry the best pg over magic.

If only they took the stats for how many plays he open up for scoring with his off the ball movement .. it’s just such an advanced way of making plays without the ball and passing that the current NBA and the old guards can’t comprehend

Curry's the best scorer ever. The only who gets double teamed as soon as past half court. MJ never got double teamed after the 90 because it wasn't allowed.

In my humble opinion, Jordan only answered because he does think it's close. He knows all too well that Steph thinks just like him, and this was nothing but a challenge to Steph. They may look totally different, but they are the same killers at heart

If we flame LeBron for having Wade, Bosh, Kyrie, Love, AD, then we should give Magic the same energy with Kareem. That alone is why Curry is the greatest PG

@xchrono881119 күн бұрын
To me, if he’s in your all time starting lineup then he’s top 5 or top 4. The thing that makes him the best pg ever is he’s the most impactful player on the court no matter the lineup you choose. Pick any 4 of the greats, he’s making them at minimum 10-25% better than they already are based on his gravity alone. And if you decide to ignore him for the others, he’s literally capable of scoring 15-20 points in a couple minutes. He just breaks the game, he’s that good.
@vladimirsempio21345 ай бұрын
Steph is the best PG and the best player of all time. Has any other player been the unanimous MVP? The hardest way to score is the one that is far or farthest from the basket. That means precision. It's easy big players to dunk that's why it is only two points no matter how they do it. Steph is the GOAT. Period

Michael Jordan use to be the best in his days. Along with Kobe too, LeBron is also a great player too, can't deny that . But curry is the beast now. And best point guard now... Sometimes we think if he is a real human or robot when he is on the court playing.. like an energetic battery keep goin and goin... That's the real McCoy there... Super great excellent player... that's what me and the other 10's of thousands other pple thinks and know...

Sorry I'm back! I'm reading the comments and they turned my thoughts to the question of what makes you great or special. My answer was being able to do something like no one else can! Steph's overall basketball skills are amazing but his ability to shoot the basketball in a game built around shooting the basketball are on a level by themselves! Clearly backed up by his shooting numbers and percentages and the eye test! We all saw the 2022 All Star Game! No one else in the world is shooting from those distances, while making 16 and turning around from 36 feet! Best yet is 105 threes in a row! No one else in the world ever...if you disagree post the video! Lastly breaking the three point record in nearly half the amount of games and by the time he is done maybe putting the number out of reach...but records are meant to be broken...but it's going to be awhile and if the game shifts anywhere near back to the way it was...Impossible! Can Magic say anything like that? #unanimous30

When Curry gets red hot to the point there's no stopping him, he's the only guy in the NBA that can literally come down the floor and hit a 3 not just from any point on the floor, but hit those 3s back to back to back to back to back to back to back, you get the point I'm making here... When Curry is doing that, it's over! I don't care who they're playing, how far down the Warriors are, if Curry gets into that "phukin" mode, it's LIGHTS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's what makes him the most dangerous player in the NBA....I didn't say best, I said dangerous.

If the number one goal of basketball is to put the ball in the basket, then the number one player you need is someone who can put the ball in the basket on a consistent basis. That’s the goal of a shooter. There are many great big man, but the first player to be chosen on the team should be the best person who’s capable of shooting the ball. Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter ever. He puts the ball in the basket. I believe that this year that truth will be revealed when the Olympics begin this summer in 2024. The USA Men’s Basketball Team will be dominated by Stephen Curry. He will make all the difference in the world on the world’s largest stage. I can’t wait. And I’m convinced neither can he.

The Tim Duncan Spurs made the high ball movement, outside shooting offense feasible and proved it works in the NBA. THAT opened the door for Steph -- he's a product of Pop's system that Kerr brought to the Warriors. Doesn't mean he's not the greatest shooter ever, but he didn't single-handled reinvented the wheel. Also he doesn't really play defense much? Jordan and Kobe were DPOY winners and Magic was coming back hard on D every time. i don't mean to diminish Steph -- he is a great player, but we have to look a bit deeper than just pure scoring, because if that's the measure he's only 5th over the last 10 years (and James Harden is no1 -- that guy is on nobody's Mt Rushmore).

One more title and Curry will be between MJ and LeBron for the GOAT title and then you have to define what is HIS position! Can you be the GOAT and not being at the same time the best on "your" position. If you move Curry in front of Magic then you believe he is also better PG.
