[@tidebleach1253]

Kyrie's finishing and handling abilities are phenomenal which separates him from other guards. While Curry is a playmaker who searches for his teammates, makes up space, and get buckets efficiently. He's also fantastic at handling the ball. Different play styles, both beasts at the game.

[@semi6544]

Who said Curry was on a way better team from Day 1? You must be a recent NBA fan. You do understand the Warriors got Steph, Klay, and Harrison Barnes in the draft lottery. They even drafted Ekpe Udoh with the 6th pick in the draft the year after they drafted Curry. The Warriors were consistently bad. The Warriors were terrible on the floor and in management. The Warriors actually had a coach that wanted to and did start Acie Law over Steph Curry. They were both on terrible teams as rookies but at least the Cavs were Kyrie's team. The Warriors were Monta Ellis' team. Monta all but turned Curry into a spot up shooter. Monta and Curry had the same type of relationship that Kyrie and Waiters had but everyone knew Kyrie was better. At the time even the Warriors weren't so sure they should turn the team over to Steph. A lot of people were upset when the Warriors chose Steph over Monta years later.

[@mikasaeren1069]

Lol without Stephen Curry warriors were nothing but a looser team until now mind that. Steph is basically the warriors face franchised after Warriors 2nd owner Joe lacob & Peter Guber buy out the warriors the year Monta got traded.

[@DokyuSerye]

Curry reshaped and redefined 3-point shooting, which made a HUGE impact on how players and coaches, play the game. It made players who're not supposed to shoot 3's, shoot 3's.

Come back to see this. Curry's shooting form has changed, more smooth and releasing height is lower now, in this video the ball is held a little bit right than nowadays.

[@brianbirnbaum9760]

Finally someone mentions it. I don't think his release is lower. It's just that he gathers and shoots infinitely faster now so it looks like it's lower but really it's the gathering process. Either way, this is evidence of how hard this dude works, and how stats don't tell even close to the whole story. His trigger and release evolution turned him from one of the greatest shooters in history into a singular flamethrower that can torch you from anywhere past halfcourt.
