This is the most competitive era in NBA history and Steph is the preeminent player on the dynasty of our times. Hence, the GOAT.

"this is the most competitive era" ...far from it. Early -mid '00s and late '80s had more 60+ win teams going at each other. This the COVID era - first of all. It is also the era of small-ball and it's severe shot-balance problems. It is also the era of the 1-and-done on social media - so players show a lack discipline, are distracted more than ever, and lack any long term experience playing in any system. It is also the era with the most team-hopping and 'who he play for' like never before. Maybe 1% of players spend even 5 years with the same team now. Teams have less style, less personality and NO long-term identity as a consequence. I keep at it because once in a while there are still some great games - but this era can't change into a better one fast enough.

Steph has had everyone fooled for quite some time now. They think he's soft, slow, weak, bad defensively, can't attack the rim, etc. He's none of that, in fact, he's practically the opposite of all that. They talk about it sometimes, but his work ethic is MJ/Kobe level, he's a maniac. The amount of off-season work he puts in would probably blow all our minds.

That constant contact has been the playbook on Curry for years now - it’s never been called.

[@jacksonj3082]

Steph's shot at 3:00 was simply breathtaking, for me one of the most skillful shots I've ever seen. It was not simply a throw up and hope for the best shot, it was a shot where Steph had to calculate White's defense pushing him to the base line and towards Williams. Williams', the shot blocker of the Finals, had a free path to block the shot and at least intimidate and change the trajectory of Steph's shot. You can see that Williams skied to where his head almost touched the rim. And that was no regular floater where Steph's momentum carried the ball, Steph had to adjust his path and more so had to jump straight up, and added a pump fake causing him to pause in the air as he make the shot - no momentum there to help that "floater" - I personally would not even call the shot a floater. THEN he banked the shot off the highest point of the backboard, AND released the ball with such feather touch that the ball angle off the backboard was almost straight down. This was no monster slam dunk due to great physical talent and height, no throw up of a shot and pray, it was a shot where Steph was in full control - calculating White's push, Willams as an obstacle, ball trajectory as Steph jumped, pumped, and paused in the air - SIMPLY AMAZING. I doubt most of the fans in Boston Garden and TV viewer noticed how great this shot was. Great that this video broke down this shot in slow-mo. Steph is my favorite player of all time - and I've been a NBA fan since Bill Russell and Jerry West days.

I hope that Curry will keep this performance until the end of the series whether it's game 6 or 7. I hope that he stays angry. And for Klay to have a great game. And for Draymond to stay focus on the game. I want them to win this championship before Iggy retires. I also want Wiggins to get a ring, he is a nice guy and deserves to win it.

Thanks Coach for saying Enough to those who keep saying Steph doesn't play well in the finals.

Good analysis of the game, great job👍

[@rosslarsen6144]

Seeing Steph. You know he knows he's the best player in the NBA

[@scottrobert]

Steph is the best 6’3” player in NBA history. That is saying a lot since all considered great players are much taller!

[@JEstey10000]

At this point of constant back-and-forth "the Celtics are domainating!!!" - "the Celtics are in trouble!!!" reports throughout the playoffs, maybe we just need to accept that these Celtics are for some reason allergic having the same result twice in a row!

[@tarunganesg9700]

same thing is happening with the warriors lol. Just inconsistnencies and recency bias from fans and the team

Since they have played the same team in all 4 of those games wouldnt the exact same thing be said when describing the warriors as well?

[@JEstey10000]

@@jeremyness2395 For this series, yes, but the Celts were also like that vs the Heat in Conferences and vs the Bucks in Semis. All their playoff series have gone back-and-forth like this so far.

[@johnjperricone7856]

Once again, absolutely outstanding analysis, and in-depth ISO work. You make me a better fan because I learn so much watching your channel.

[@jordandavis3867]

Steph has the oppurtunity to shut down all his naysayers in one series. He's playing a healthy Boston, reached another finals without KD, dropped a clutch iconic finals performance that people have criticized him for not doing, has the oppurtunity to win another ring without KD, while KD is yet to win a ring without Steph...and his defence has improved tremendously so the "doesn't defend" argument is losing strenght. It's amazing.

[@alejandroserrano7755]

Yup, this is actually a legacy ring for the Warriors. Winning it again will mean so much since they suffered all those injuries, winning without KD and Curry winning the finals MVP. All around a huge ring for them

[@Kevinschart]

i'm one of his nay sayers. you basically described my entire thought process on steph. don't forget to mention that the first championship he played so poorly that he didn't win mvp AND they won against a team without 2 of it's starters. i'm a celtics fan so i don't want him to win. but at the same time i want him to shut me up too. i'm a fan a of steph and want him to continue writing his nba story.

[@vedhantsarma6136]

@@Kevinschart glad you’re a Steph fan but how can you say in 2015 he played poorly, when he one bad game, game 2 in which he hit a game tying shot with a few seconds left and he averaged about 26 6 and 5 with 17 points in the fourth quarter in game 3 and game 5 which is the most ever in finals history

[@Kevinschart]

@@vedhantsarma6136 explain how iggy wins mvp. steph was disappointing in his first finals. poorly is too strong of a word, i shouldn't have said that. your overall stats don't tell the full story. go back and look at the box scores...steph's performance was all over the place.

[@pg13pacernation30]

Stephen Curry is special in the playoffs ☔ first winner of the new trophy of kobe bryant all star MVP. first magic johnson western conference finals mvp, So if he keep this up he will win his 1st FMVP as well

[@joeyabug596]

I think their drop coverage on the three is a denial of the roll or the drive but more on the former. We haven't seen much of it all series long. They refuse to double and trap Steph, banking on the mistakes the Warriors make, basically playing the percentages. I get the logic behind it--take away their bread and butter, eliminate a 4v3 disadvantage, eliminate their ball movement. They've seen how the West defended it and probably saw that it crushed their opponents. But you shouldn't do that on Curry, as evident. The beauty of the Warriors offense is it is versatile. I believe this is the reason Draymond's assists have been down. He's not the distributor on a potential 4v3, which he excels at. And when the Celtics trapped and doubled him late in the fourth, they've had no success. The Warriors are simply great at exploiting that advantage. I think the Celtics can use their length and athleticism to disrupt the pass on the roll if they decide to use it later. Steph can be a pretty careless passer, often opting for the overhead pass instead of the pocket. Excited to see how the rest of the series pans out.

[@moeball740]

Joey A - am I watching an alternate universe series from you? The series I've been watching shows Boston trapping or doubling Steph several times. Not that it's worked a whole lot.

[@folseygaming5174]

@@moeball740 your not watching enough. watch closer more than half of stephs made threes are from pick n rolls cuz the C's dont double him

[@MegaMusek]

I think it’s law of averages and drop is the best outcome, albeit small favorability.

[@judyclarkson5887]

You nailed it on this one unlike those casuals bruh... It's like when I said that GS can afford to let Jokic averaged 40ppg against them instead of him keeps getting double figures in his assists. Turned out that his highest assists on that series was 6, and it translated to GS's easy W. I know that it's different and Denver plays different game than GS, but the logic still applies I think. Boston *wisely* choose not to double Curry bcos Warriors will thrive even more if Curry keeps making those hockey assists to Draymond and they get so much 4 on 3 offensive possessions. Just like Kenny said some times ago, you defend Steph the right way instead of over-compensating for his presence, contest his shots as best as you can, and if they still win based on Curry makes all of those shots, then all you can do is just shake his hands after the game ends. Ppl who mocks Boston's defensive approach rn are nothing but casuals who don't really understands the game.
