[@EbonySeraphim]

Curry is already a top 10 to ever play the game for me - that's starting from the mid 90s. What is very much missed about Curry that other (aspiring) shooters don't seem to realize is his handles are top tier in the league. He's still a step behind Kyrie Irving, but even if Steph is less flashy the way he persists and maintains his dribble to keep moving around and between defenders to eventually find a clearing is incomparable. Oh, and that he can shoot off his own dribble. Not coincidentally, this is also why Kevin Durant is also so transcendent. Yes, Kevin Durant is long and just rises up and shoots over defenders quickly enough, but KD also maintains a amazing handle for his length and is not stuck in a bad spot to take a shot. He gets to where he wants to and makes the attempt from there. Where Steph Curry has a super quick release that doesn't give you time to contest, KD just rises above a contest. There are other snipers in the league who when left open may be comparable to Steph in accuracy in catch-and-shoot, but none of those guys have handles. Not one is close. You see any of them dribbling the ball through too much traffic at the perimeter, and you know they're going to lose it because that's where you can risk reaching knowing there is likely help if you get blown by. Steph is one guy you know is keeping the ball, and is just as capable of blowing by and finishing at the rim.

[@swishcentral1]

Curry is one of the best ever

[@c4thenerd171]

Irving is overrated change my mind

[@Ggorazzi]

@@c4thenerd171 agreed kyrie's handling is flashy and a lot of unnecessary movement much like hardens and are highlighted on iso play almost choreographed. Curry's handling is more spontanious and the only player that i've seen break ankles without the ball in his hands.

[@takaorobinson8719]

Well said

[@BAfan-tt9zl]

Agree on all!! But if we’re talking about where Steph is just stellar, we HAVE to at least mention his passing!! In spite of his own shooting ability, he’s just as likely to deliver an amazing pass- unexpected, and right in the right place for the shooter! He’s like a gifted quarterback who can deliver right in the right spot, and right on time!

[@franz289]

In fairness to the effort of some analysts, none of them understood the plans that Jerry West had to assemble a team around Steph. JW was the architect of trading Montae and getting injured bigman Bogut and allowing Steph to grow into the role. They even got rid of Mark Jackson and hired a rookie coach with a system in mind that the league was not prepared to defend. All this because they drafted players to fit their system and not just draft talent and let that take the team as far as he can. Steph will be a HOFer and one that has changed the way the game is played from the guard position. Let’s just enjoy the ride and like MJ, will all be history when he is done.

[@swishcentral1]

He will for sure end up in the HOF

[@jackiemonroe5491]

Stephen Curry is the greatest point guard of all time.

[@swishcentral1]

He’s def up there

[@dyrtybarstud5261]

Yes and no. He is the greatest SHOOTING pg, but he has some stiff competition in the PG stakes. Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson and John Stockton in particular are probably the 3 you can argue were `better` pgs. When i look at everything, Oscar always stands out so strongly. He averaged 25 ppg as a guard in an era where there were no 3 point scores, 7.5 rebounds and nearly 10 assists. He was beyond special as a scorer, defender and floor general. I suspect that in todays game, Oscar would be every bit as good as he was then, conversely in that era Steph would have been physically out of his depth and averaged maybe 15 or so.

[@FMGGLITT09]

@@FMGGLITT09 Better shooter yes, better floor general or all round player, straight no. People get hung up on just how good a shooter he is but thats not ALL a point guard is. He would have been out muscled and beaten up in Oscars era, and conversely if Oscar had the room and spacing that the modern game has, likely he would have averaged well over 30 ppg.

[@andyhung424able]

Steph is a one in a generation player. The analysts were not wrong with their data driven approach. But there are always exception to the data, outliers. And Steph is THE outlier. It took an exceptionally well run organization of the Warriors to allow Steph to become the Steph Curry we know today. Again, the analysts weren't necessarily wrong about the data, and Curry was indeed very injury prone due to his size and strength. But all the stars aligned, with a great coach, great GM, great team owner, great teammates like Klay and Draymond and then add KD, that's how Steph became a three-time champ. We will never know how Steph would have turned out if he landed on a different team in 2009. But it doesn't matter, even Steph would tell you himself that he works as hard as he could to get better everyday, but the rest just have to let it happen.

[@swishcentral1]

Agreed. The cards just fell in currys favor luckily

[@Loose89]

He wasn’t injury prone due to his size and weight, he just had an unlucky run rolling his ankles, something any player “injury prone” or not can do at any time on the court.

[@ckyung1312]

Stephan's eye hand coordination is beyond phenomenal, so yes Stephan has changed the game and 7 footers aren't absolutely essential anymore. It's weird because I grew up watching some of the greatest big men in the 90s: D. Robinson, P. Ewing, S. O'Neal, D. Mutumbo, Hakeem, etc.

[@swishcentral1]

[@sdmestayer]

7 footers are now actually a handicap. They are too slow to keep on the floor for the modern game. Size does matter, but the player still has to be quick enough to guard smaller players.

Steph just made a title of his own The "GSOAT" (GREATEST SHOOTER OF ALL TIME)

[@swishcentral1]

[@SouthBaySteelers]

Love looking at these videos down the road after their initial posting. Nobody remembers that Steph had ankle injury problems during his first season or two with the Warriors. Back then it wasn’t really clear that Curry would overcome these as they seemed to be chronic. When they traded away Monte Ellis a lot of fans were upset. Even more so because they got an injured Andrew Bogut, who was the centerpiece of that trade. The Warriors, to me at least, were were building the team around Bogut. Jackson was also was a pretty decent player for the Warriors. It probably wasn’t until Steph’s 3rd or maybe 4th season that it was clear the Warriors were pushing all the right buttons and had a special player in Steph Curry. At least, that’s my memory of the Warriors. I’ve been a fan of GSW since the days when George Karl was their head coach.

[@kuoliangyu]

Steph Curry has completely changed the paradigm of how to attack the basket. All players of the past had the fixed mentality of getting as close to the basket as possible in order to increase the odds of getting the ball in. But getting close to the basket also means you are running into a denser pack of defenders - more risk of getting blocked or stolen or shoved down. Instead Curry did 2 things totally different. He made everyone realize that there is a whole lot more OPEN COURT AWAY from the basket. More court space means more open shots, less chance of being blocked or shoved aside. But then Curry also made sure that he developed the long distance shooting skills to take advantage of all that open real estate. He profoundly realized and perfected the absolute necessity of the shooting skills in order to be the most effective and deadly at the more open but distant spaces. Voila'! A new way of playing basketball!!! THAT is why Curry is truly a generational and transformational player. Think of LeBron's or Shaq's dunking. Highly effective. But you gotta be hugely tall and muscular. Think of Michael Jordan's sailing through the air from the foul line and ramming the ball in. Beautiful to watch. But you gotta be really athletic and tall. Think of Kareem's sky hook. Elegant, unstoppable. But you gotta be REALLY tall and strong or you are gonna get blocked or pushed out of range. Those players all had their unique weapons, but us average height and normally muscled people simply can not do any of those things. That is why Curry has inspired so many NORMAL kids to develop their 3-point shot. They can not dunk. They can not sky hook. Most of them will never achieve Curry's level of skill and success, but, hey, they can still try.

The NBA was changed by Curry. When he started raining down 3 point shots it altered what teams are looking for when they draft. The Dubs actually did the same thing with Draymond Green. Every draft we have analysts identifying the next Draymond Green....not bad for a second rounder.

[@swishcentral1]

Draymond was a diamond in the rough. Solid player for a second round pick

[@creating1_c1999]

Draymond is truly a transformational player. You told no lies. I always believed in him since State. I knew he was something special, he just needed a Cinderella team like Dubs where he could flourish.

[@davidgelista4959]

Yes he's going down as one of the greatest who ever played the game he is my favorite player

[@swishcentral1]

100 percent

[@YurikRoss]

This video is even more relevant now. Hes on pace to crush his record of 400 3s in a season which is insane. And hes now at 38 games with 9 3s or more. And the other 4 players behind him have like 34 combined. This shows that judging a prospect player based on how big they are is ridiculous.

[@swishcentral1]

He’s crushing all records

[@DELUDE07]

When its all said and done, with all the rings, accolades, and personal stats. Wardell Stephen Curry will be top 10 ALL TIME. If someone asks you to make a team of 5 V 5 using all players ever played in NBA, Curry will more likely than not round out the PG/SG of that team? Whos better?

[@swishcentral1]

Curry best shooter ever. He’s def gonna be up there

[@fjacks1189]

Been a GSW fan since the 70's, I enjoyed watching the Magic and Bird years, watch Shaq dominate, didn't really pay attention to Jordan, other than everybody wanted to wear his shoes, Lebron is ok, but Steph Curry has to be the most exciting player in the entire NBA, think of the greats that came and left, Dr. J., Hakeem, Kobe, and countless others, Steph passes them all on the excitement list.....no one is even close....gonna miss him when he retires.

[@swishcentral1]

Yea he’s super fun to watch. Hopefully retirement is far away

[@dorisgreen311]

He is chosen and was destined for greatness. I keep saying, many are capable of learning a sports, but greatness is a gift from God.

[@robertamatruda8881]

Yes of course,those analysts are always wrong,their Monday morning quarterbacks,i cant listen to most of them,Stef is a one and only,and without a doubt the best shooter of all time.also maybe best ball handler.

[@swishcentral1]

Best shooter ever no cap

[@scootsmcdoots80]

I’d take AI’s handles over his but his shot is second to none.

[@swishcentral1]

@@scootsmcdoots80 agreed. AI had the smoothest handles

[@wilkvanburen]

Great video. Only thing I'd suggest... use 180 degree turn and not 360 degree turn when talking about someone changing their opinion. 180 degrees is facing the opposite way; 360 degrees means you turn around and come right back to where you started...

[@swishcentral1]

Yes I know. I caught that afterwards lol

I’m sure he loves proving people wrong lol

Wow they really got a lot wrong about Curry lol. Awesome vid btw :) 👌🏽

Yeah they def didn’t see him comin. Thanks!

[@nkambayona2592]

He is a great player and difficult to stop. You can't know what he will do on the dribble.

[@swishcentral1]

Yea that’s what makes him so hard to guard

[@romuloambay9624]

the warriors hiring of steve kerr(2014-15) started a revolution in nba forever that of shooting 3s as main offensive weapon. .before him coaches all over nba including phil jackson relegated 3s as secondary weapon. .players who shoot 3s were frowned upon. .now coaches are training and encourage their players to do 3s. .steph curry and klay were lucky to have kerr in 2015. . their 3-point shooting potential were developed and raised skyhigh including the rest of the warriors. .it looks so easy for them to win championships except for injuries in 2019. .to be on the championship five times in a row is no ordinary feat. . . .and after three years of juggling, recovery and preparation the warriors are out rolling once again. .

[@lawrenceloilo3996]

Basketball Sports is not all about being strong and athletic you need to be mentally prepared and high basketball IQ why steph curry scoring more points than LeBron since this guys are stronger taller and defenitely athletic than steph, steph curry works hard to become the lethal shooter and ability to read the flow of the offense a decisions when to take the shot in a good look (high percentage) and not forcing the shot using your strength. This is the reason why he is so special.

[@swishcentral1]

Well said. Curry does work hard and has a high basketball IQ

[@janemaxwell6948]

Listen up you morons, being taller and stronger has nothing to do with being more athletic. Previous two are physical attributes only.

[@lawrenceloilo3996]

It was emphasize the weaknesses and strength of compared players that's the reason there is good basketball players and more effective players, both of them have weaknesses James had built and physicality his good on creating shots using his strength steph used the routine of the team and movement. He keeps moving without the basketball and most of his shot is uncontested by creating space. That's why people called him the freak of nature.

[@lawrenceloilo3996]

Being tall and athletic had a big advantage on the game of basketball set an example to you LeBron James vs the seven dwarfts who do u think will win Cinderella

[@panganreaneleem.5511]

Don't judge the book by it's cover that's stephen curry

[@Az-eg2xu]

He changed the game so I’m sure he will go in the NBA history as one of the best to have ever played the game. His ball handling and crossover kinda of reminds of AI’s game. And Allen agrees that Steph is one of the best.

Lol facts

[@DdragonGun001]

You see the thing is Curry is a force, you have to play up on him, teams on defense have to work to prevent curry take, he can blow past you, call a screen to either blow past for an ez layup, or a spot up 3. Most defenders will help out, but the thing is, the Warriors have all amazing shooters, so if the defense help on D, some one will likely be open, if not Curry gets an ez bucket. This will be a hard reason on why the Warriors execute so well!

[@swishcentral1]

Warriors are so smooth

[@tmic4043]

Monta was not hating on Steph. Not as much as people imagine anyway. He was right. They were too small to coexist.

[@Sarge80]

The best compliment curry got was if i remember correctly from Dr J, he said they made a curry simulator to see how curry does all his shooting and the sim couldnt get it done, couldnt get at curry's stats, now thats a legend in the making.

[@swishcentral1]

He’s already a legend

[@dextec49]

Sir Buckets! Greatest shooter in this decade. Change the way to shooting the ball 🏀. Fast release, confident will to win. Analysts at times don’t get it right. One in a lifetime player. His range is beyond, a HOF player when all said and done.

[@swishcentral1]

Greatest shooter ever *

[@Jamesdylandean]

I often laugh at the analysts: I remember their take on Russell Wilson, and the Seahawks heading into the Super Bowl 48. Then they are sooooooo humble afterwards when they are proven wrong. But, still make often ridiculous claims afterwards.

[@swishcentral1]

Lol exactly

[@DarinDmarkovic1]

when you come and change how the game is played, you're a great one. Lebron nor Kobe didn't even change the game. No disrespect to Kobe, He's Goat #2 after Jordan.

[@swishcentral1]

Yep Curry revolutionized the game

[@Real_Des]

Quick side note: The Bucks and Warriors originally agreed to that one trade but instead of Devonte Ellis, Steph Curry was in his place. The bucks ended up declining though because they said he was too “injury prone”. They THEN agreed to switch Ellis for Curry and still do the trade...

[@boybawang1981]

1st five years of SC's career were iffy though...he had major ankle problems, but then Mark J. can in and did some good work and then Kerr helped take them to the promised land!!

Both amazing players

[@rohard2770]

It's troubling to think that all black athletes have to be athletic and explosive , otherwise they can't make it in sports . You never hear those words when referring to white athletes . Steph proved that it's more to basketball than knowing how to do a 360 dunk

Major facts

[@iliyan-kulishev]

After these years there's one more lie about Curry that is yet to die - that he is supposedly "not athletic". Infact he is, no he is not dunking on guys, but his feet quickness and change of directions is crazy, when he is on the floor he is like switching gears on guys effortlessly, also guys are barely able to bump him when he is driving, his core stability seems to be really good.

Whatever he is, it works very well

[@stephenjackson7797]

You twist everything. The analysis on Doncic versus Ayton was universally that you take Ayton if you have the first pick because he had a good upside and virtually no downside. Doncic, having never played outside of Europe, had a really high upside but also a really, really, really low downside. Doncic was considered to have a much higher potential upside by EVERYONE. But he was just too risky because his low side was also much, much, much lower. As far as Curry, you're also wrong, wrong, wrong. The Phoenix Suns offered their best player at the time, Amare Stoudemire, to Golden State in an offer to exchange draft picks so they could take Curry. Curry was so highly valued that Golden State refused. Maybe the rest of the league didn't know, but Phoenix and Golden State did.

[@swishcentral1]
