Greatest three point shooter doesn't make you necessarily the best shooter of all time. Three is very volatile and can be inconsistent. You can argument that the greatest shooters tend to be from the mid-range simply because it's so much more consistent and has less volatility. But because of the three-point shot being more than two, you live with that but it doesn't necessarily make you a better shooter. Just cause you're the best three

A generational basket player in sports is an athlete who is exceptional and stands out among their peers. They are considered once-in-a-generation talents, possessing extraordinary skills, abilities, and achievements that set them apart in their sport. These players go beyond being great athletes; they redefine the standards of excellence in their sport and have a lasting impact on the game. They are seen as the best in their sport and are often compared to the greatest players of all time. Essentially, a generational player transcends their era, leaving a legacy that is highly respected and remembered for years to come. These players are rare and are celebrated for their unique talents and contributions to their sport. And that is Stephen Curry, the man who changed the sports of basketball.

The way Stephen A breaks down Steph Curry's game in this video is 100% on point. Most three-point shooters are stand-still shooters. Very few can shoot off the dribble. Steph not only shoots from long range standing still and off the dribble, he also shoots coming off picks, screens and moving without the ball!

I honestly understand Gilbert's point, he's arguing the rarity and difficulty of Curry's attributes. A child looks at LeBron, Wemby, and Magic and when reality hits them knows they probably won't be 6'9 or 7'4 with those wingspans and have the mobility they have, but any child (especially during 2015-18 when Curry started going crazy) knows they can be an elite shooter like Curry if they just put in the time. Trae Young is a good example, elite shooter, clearly got influence from Curry. HOWEVER, not only was Curry the first to master this aspect on all levels but his impact is something undeniable, 20-point leads literally aren't safe anymore BECAUSE of what Curry did. He changed the game and offense entirely, that and it's a lot more than his shooting, his off-ball movement, speed, ball-handling, finishing, etc. Anyone can be an elite shooter yes, but we ain't getting another Curry, lol. Literally just look at all the other elite shooters of previous generations and then Curry. It's not close.

The three-point shot went from being a gimmick that wasn’t taken seriously as a championship-winning strategy to THE championship-winning strategy. Nobody changed the game more in the last 30-40 years than Steph.

[@CrustyPBnJ]

First time I have 100 PERCENT, agreed with Stephen A. Saying Steph ain't an amazing player and a generational talent, that's just asinine. Dude literally single-handedly changed the modern NBA. Insane.

[@Neogamingz]

Is Kyrie Irving a top 5 point guard? & I disagree with Tmac, that's like saying If scottie & dennis rodman got injured would they have won? Maybe they would be a force cause those bulls teams were stacked to cater to Micheal Jordon. Curry is definitely a generational talent. He doesn't need the ball to get his shot off, and he's crafty around the rim for his size. 4 rings to show for it. "He's a silent killer" - Kobe Bryant.

[@Frank-mt2hf]

4 rings but was only the best player in one of them

[@Neogamingz]

@Frank-mt2hf I agree, however Andre igoudala openly stated that it should've gone to steph. As an athlete myself, we don't tare down one another unless it's in a competitive nature so iggy deserved that mvp he played great defense and had timely shots down the stretch, with that information your telling me without steph curry are the warriors the warriors? He's an important piece to the success of the Golden State Warriors. A generational talent.

Jordan and Lebron was dragging carpenters and Walmart cashiers to the Playoffs and finals.

[@fobinc]

​@@gdc6153nope on Lebron. Larry Hughes and Mo Williams weren't chumps early Cavs days. He then went to Miami with Wade and Bosh to form his first super team then got K Love and Kyrie back at Cleveland. He then went to Lakers to play with AD and Westbrook (the fit sucks, but Westbrook was still good).

[@femmedenise3598]

I disagree with Tracy - 1. where are you rings when your teammates were out? 2. Did you not watch the finals of 2022? Curry carried that dam team while everyone was guarding HIM, on his dam back - they wasn’t showing up like that! Fix your mouth DA! He is no where near right on his take SAS!

[@internetcutie]

to me, Steph's GOAT position could MAYBE be 5th but is more likely 6th and i wouldn't be mad at 7th but any lower is ridiculous to me.. this man isn't just the best 3-point shooter to ever grace the game of basketball he is the MOST ACCOMPLISHED 3-pointer, top 5 most 3's made in an NBA Season: 1st: Stephen Curry, 2nd James Harden, 3rd Stephen Curry, 4th Stephen Curry, 5th Stephen Curry, Most Career 3's of all time: Stephen Curry: 3:747 (set to pass well over 4000 before retirement), most 3 pointers made in a singular game, 1st: Klay Thompson with 14, 2nd Stephen Curry with 13 and Steph is on that list in the top 10, 8 times. Steph isn't just the best 3 point shooter, he owns the 3 ball in all respects, he also led the greatest team in basketball history the 16-17 season Warriors.. he is a talent unheard of and has the trophies and rings to show for it too and it's funny to me Tmac will say Steph hasn't won without his guys when people were saying not long ago Steph couldn't win without Kevin Durant, but he did.. a little goal post move there.. Steph does make the team, Steph's scoring prowess from the 3 line wins them championships. I personally think the fact Steph got robbed out of Final's MVP in 2015 has haunted him to this day, the judges then acted like he doesn't run the team and after KD joined even tho Steph's warriors went to the finals in 2016 and he would've won final's MVP that year by a long shot, however they lost in 7 games to what can only be described as a very angry LeBron James.

[@drewdogg77]

Steph is not a generational level talent, but he demonstrates how with his work ethics, he's able to maximize what he has into the greatest shooter of all time. What if LeBron practiced shooting hallway 3's like Steph does?

[@oko1526]

Le Bron still wouldn't be a Steph. He is LeBron. He does what his talent and body dictates. THE BEST. But Steph is Steph and he does what his body dictates. THE BEST SHOOTER GOD EVER MADE.

[@abnerallen2334]

Yall gotta understand what Gil is saying, it would be easier to mimic Curry than mimicking Bron or Zion. There have been players who shot the lights out, the main difference is just Curry has range which one can work on. You cant work on being 6'9 250 with a 40 inch vertical, no matter how hard you try.

[@nickc5374]

Exactly. Don’t know why people are not seeing the difference. There will be players with Steph’s skill set in short order. They may already be in the nba…

I am not a Stephen A. Smith fan. I think he has more opinions than he has brain cells. Being forceful, loud, angry, and disrespectful does not make one right. Curry has changed the NBA forever. His quick release, accuracy from everywhere on the court, dribbling ability to get open are all exceptional. Who in the historic past has done or could do what he is doing. The answer: NO ONE!

[@RaonakDM]

Steph is the definition of generational. Imagine being the very best at the most valuable skill in the sport. Not only the best, but by far the best.

[@montraix]

Steph Curry is beyond generational, he is more unique than LeBron or MJ Or Wilt, no one in history can do what he has done, and he changed the game more than any before him. Reality

[@leandreballew2566]

When will a player transcend the game like Steph again? When will we see a small guard dominate the game to the level of Steph? The volume shooting and crazy shots with the efficiency is generational. Steph is unlike any player ever off the ball offensively..the disrespect is crazy. Steph is hands down a generational talent and he’s top 10 alltime, right outside the top 10 at the very least.

[@alec187]

By arenas’s logic, MJ is not a generational talent because Kobe copied him frame by frame

[@theFILOProjectTV]

CURRY IS ONCE IN A LIFETIME TALENT . Only 2 players in history changed the games of NBA. Thats MJ and CURRY. I am not biringing Curry into the GOAT debate. But the game of basketall changed because of him and the warriors.

[@GamingClipz96]

Arenas is delusional thinking Curry did all that by pure hard work alone

[@henrytep8884]

When you think of the word "shooter" in basketball, Steph is the first person to come up. He is a definitive talent, not just a generational talent.

[@altheamorris5996]

Curry is a generational talent and probably a top 10-15 player of all time. He has benefited significantly from the GSW teammates and system though…

[@blackstarmovement4065]

When I think about “Generational talent” I think about those guys who were coming straight from highschool to the pros and making a impact.

[@anirudhranjan2934]

Anyone can argue that Steph is Top 10-15 players all time. In more than 70 years of NBA, if you're in top 10-15, you're once in generation player.

[@aravinthnagarajan9167]

He wasn't the tall player comparatively, not the strongest or dominant like Shaq, not athletic like the likes of prime DRose or LBJ. But he lead his team to 4 Championships, and was the one and only unanimous MVP. Changed the playing style of the league and aspiring young talents, for good or bad (that's a debate). If that's not generational then I don't know what is .

[@jordandavis3867]

Stephen Curry is the only person to do what he did on that level so he has to be in the top 10 because he does what he does better than anyone else who has played the game.

[@phitran5336]

There are two ways of looking at Gil’s opinion. He’s either flat out wrong or he’s wrong but can be right if he were to really specify his definition of what makes a player generational. You can’t say generational players can’t be mimicked, give an example of Magic the 6’9” playmaking with crazy vision but then ignore that Lebron checks those same boxes physically and talent wise. Steph came into the league in 09, 15 years in he’s lead the league in total 3s made 8 of those seasons (5 of those seasons were consecutive mind you). He still holds the record for the most 3s made in a season. At this rate, it’s ARGUABLE that Steph’s shooting makes him generational than Magic’s playmaking makes him generational.

[@sudaneseGeek]

Gilbert misused the word “generational” now he catching hands BUT he not wrong about jokic

[@patsayjack402]

What's his talent? Height? Strength? Speed? Hops? He's the most skilled player of all time because his entire game is skill based.

Even TMac didn't make sense. These players should be thankful Curry wasn't playing in 2000s era, cos he'd be knocking everyone out. Arenas think it's easy to be Curry to just shoot alot😂 Curry "makes" impossible shots that players like kobe makes one or two times in career "ALOT" And about losing klay/draymond. Curry won w/ players like bogut, looney, GP2!! How "LITTLE HELP" does Steph need to be deemed "alone"

[@scrake_killer5643]

Curry is in a league of his own. There is no one to mimic mr.arenas. "THE BEST SHOOTER THAT GOD EVERY CREATED"

[@nbarealtalker]

I’m not saying I agree, I’m just gonna say “generational talent” is a term usually attached to someone before they even hit the draft. LeBron, Zion, AI, Yao Ming maybe even. Curry blossomed years into his career (even though Skip Bayless liked him over Blake Griffin). So I wouldn’t say he’s not, but I would say he isn’t a typical “generational talent”. Even Jokic, who’s being thrown into the GOAT centre conversations, doesn’t get called “generational talent” on the regular.

[@MzYunna-qk8ky]

That’s how great he is Respect the Man and his talent
