Why Players Don't Like Stephen Curry

NBA players keep disrespecting Stephen Curry, but why?

Steph Curry is not dominant…not in the traditional sense and for some reason, NBA players haven’t caught on.
Curry is just catching strays. People are stunned to even put Curry in the conversation as the best player in the NBA right now. He’s getting disrespected by peers and NBA legends and it’s because he’s not 6’ 6”.
And I stand by it. But while I was saying this in respect to the media underrating Curry, this is similar to how other NBA players are seeing it. They’ve accepted him as the greatest shooter of all time, but even that is limiting what Curry is.
Give props to Shaq for giving Giannis his props early, saying he’s the best player in the world after winning a championship, and now saying Curry is the best player in the world, but for the most part players, they don’t believe Curry is able to take over the game by himself, that he needs screens, that he needs Draymond and Klay to be Steph. And sure he may not power through people, but did everyone just forget two seasons ago when he led the league in scoring averaging 32 points a game? When he was cooking everyone?
Just because Curry runs through a bunch of screens doesn’t mean he also doesn’t score by himself. Curry tends to isolate less than other superstars which is why this conversation even begins. However, Steph does rank as one of the most efficient isolation players in the league. In 2020-2021 for all players averaging over 1 iso possession per game, Steph was 5th in points per iso possession. But the sample size was small simply because of the low iso frequency. It isn’t like he’s not creating shots. Let’s look at Game 4 in the NBA Finals. Moving off-ball, running off screens, these aren’t shots that were just there. These are shots created by Curry running tight routes, catching the ball the right way into the shot. But none of these are isos because Curry didn’t create a shot off the dribble.
The Warriors play with a faster pace and move the ball quick, usually ranking top 5 in the NBA. Curry himself prefers to attack quickly so rather than isolate the switch, man just takes the opportunity to cook.
But we can even look at something so simple as finishing. Again, Steph is not powering his way through the paint, but what he is doing is being one of the most efficient finishers in the NBA. Again, Curry isn’t a leader in drives per game, more like top 40 in the NBA, still more than a lot of player. Yet he is usually amongst the league leaders in finishing inside the paint, even shooting 70% from the paint in 2016, higher than LeBron.
And again, I will always say this, if it was so easy to do what Curry does, constantly run the entire game, juking defenders without the ball, everyone would do it. And because Curry isn’t 6’ 6” or above, his size is a liability which is rightfully so. This isn’t a pound for pound conversation. However we’ve never said that about Kevin Durant while he was winning Finals MVPs.
Just a double standard when it comes to Curry but I’ll admit, this is a legitiment claim. However, more players bring up the flaws in Curry’s offensive game. *But what do you think? Is Curry in the conversation for best player in the NBA?*

[@kylebourne6839]

I respectfully disagree with you to some degree on that "athleticism" part...actually Steph has work on his physical strength and pliability which in effect has increased his athleticism. He has grown accustomed to players being physical with him and has increase his overall strength and conditioning. Of course, he doesn't rely on his athleticism like Lebron or Westbrook but he definitely is more athletic than he was when he came to the league. And that's why he'll last longer than alot of his NBA contemporaries.

All these guys are not in Curry’s class of shooting off the dribble, driving to the hoop and manipulating the defense. Kyrie is his equal but he doesn’t move off the ball as well as Curry. Lillard is a step below without movement off the ball also. If you call real defense being physical? What would MaHorn, Rodman, Gary Payton, Oakley do at 30 ft from the lane? They gonna at armbar him that far? Or do you mean the threat of being hit, driving to the rim? Learn to adapt, those guy were slow compared to today’s players. I would say Jordan and Pippin could defend on the perimeter today

[@cosmonaut9942]

It's a draw between Curry and Giannis IMO. KD is not even in the conversation anymore. The last time we saw him he couldn't stop dribbling the ball of his foot and turning the ball over. He couldn't handle the double teams that Curry sees on almost every play. And, KD is a head case. LoL.

[@johnigarus]

Respectable but IMO curry is better and it’s pretty obvious. Giannis has every single physical advantage and is more dominant than Steph yet he struggled and lost to Boston while Steph destroyed them and made it look easy. Now sure it may have been easier because all their starters were healthy while Gianni’s was without Khris Middleton but, the warriors were struggling near the end of the regular season and had to go through a lot of stuff yet they came out on top. Besides Denver Steph didn’t have to go up against an as injury plagued conference so it was a more difficult yet they made it look ez. I think it’s a know brainer that Steph is number one but I can see Gianni’s close behind him. But yeah nah kd ass he proving he can’t do nothing without Steph 😂

The NBA has a lot of names in this conversation. I think the league has more talent and skill today than at any point in history. (Others are free to disagree.) It's true, Curry is a system player, and he is not always the go-to option on his own squad, so he doesn't always collect stats that leap off the page and hurt your eyeballs. But he is not only a scorer and playmaker. He's also directly responsible for the success of his teammates. His plus-minus is large. His gravity is ridiculous. If you try to stop him one-on-one, it can't be done; that's a green light for Curry, and he can shoot the lights out and drive with high efficiency. But if you resort to ganging up on him to stop him, his teammates will do the scoring. Nobody has Curry's gravity, not to this extent. Like any NBA player, Curry can have an off night, or his teammates can be injured. You have to hope for one or the other to happen if you want a win when Curry is playing. It's hard to say who is the best player with conviction, but if you press me up against a wall and hold a box of chemically-preserved, sugary cereal to my head, I'll go with Curry. Just don't make me eat that awful stuff, please!

Game 4 was a perfect example why Steph is the best - even at 34 years old and in his 13th season. His outside shooting, driving to the bucket, moving without the ball, and passing was fully on display. To me, 3 possessions were especially impressive -1) with 4:00 remaining in Q4, he dribbled the ball what seemed like forever with the attention of 3 defenders and then hit a floater from the free throw line, after all that dribbling to hit a long floater with amazing touch when most players would be too exhausted or too pumped up to have that degree of touch, that play took the life out of the Celtics and their fans, 2) then with 1:45 remaining in Q4, he threw the ball to Draymond at the free throw line and then moved without the ball to get an opening from White to hit a 3 another dagger, 3) then with 1:25 to go in the 4th, he drew 2 defenders White and Tatum and threw a wrap-around Tatum’s body pass to Draymond in the corner - Marcus Smart the NBA defensive player of the year was sitting in the paint ready to help and seem to lose sight of ball, frozen while Draymond already received the ball and took a step towards the basket. Game 4 was when Steph recognized that the aggressive Celtic fans seemed to affect Draymond in Q1, Steph recognized this and started to beat his chest and bark at the Celtics fans as if to say“come after me, come after me” essentially protecting his teammate to divert the Celtic fans away from Draymond, to give Draymond space to recover - WOW!! Steph is truly a magician with and without the ball, totally unselfish, a team first player, without a giant ego that most NBA superstars have today. If KD, Lebrun, the Greek were only 6-3, they would still be good, but I don’t think they would be in the top 5 of today’s players. I feel so lucky to be an NBA fan in the era of Steph Curry.

@@cotton3399 LeBron had to repackage his whole game to keep up with Steph stop the cap buddy, even LeBron says so... It's media and Bron fans who keep him as the face of the era, not his game anymore like he did in the 2006-2016 years

[@ShutThePuck]

@@isaacdebeila8085 LeBron also did not go about things in the 'right' way, he went and formed a superteam with Wade and Bosh, at the time that kind of thing was unprecedented, they were all from the same draft class and in their primes, Bron and Bosh were 26, it was largely seen as a guaranteed winning situation whereas Curry did things the traditional way - get drafted to a bad team and change the entire culture from a losing culture into a winning one, even when the media tried it's best to say it was about KD, he proved yet again that it was always about him and his impact.

[@cotton3399]

@@isaacdebeila8085 bro what? he went to 8 straights finals in the 2010s and was on top of the league for most of it. the reason you think he had to "repackage his game" is because he was constantly improving his game, especially in Miami. He improved his post game, shooting, etc. Lebron has always been adding onto his bag throughout his entire career and didn't change just because of Steph. In terms of impact, at least in my opinion, lebron has impacted the 2010's more than steph curry.

[@OfSunFlowers]

Bro, this is an excellent take. And Curry became HOF when he was unanimously voted MVP. He, along with Klay, Draymond and Kerr, has turned this game into something beautiful. Revolutionary like the Triangle offense, on crack.

[@hezzi3283]

I realize the stigma around height in the nba, and curry changed the way the game is played and everybody mad at that

[@fjroldan78]

The fact that he is under 6'3" is amazing compared to all his titles and records! Definitively a Hall of famer! And he is now at his prime with 32 years old!! Amazing either

[@lk5388]

there is nothing disrespectful about what MJ said about Steph. Players have to retire to become a hall of famer. Like Lebron and Durant, Steph is no hall of famer, yet.

MJ literally said Curry is not a Hall of Famer “yet”. Which is an actual fact, that’s all he was saying. He’s not in the hall of fame yet. Not a big deal.

[@johnigarus]

Uh kinda is especially with his resume. How can you be top 15 even 10 all time and not be a hofer? It makes no sense at all. Old heads don’t understand that the speed of the game is far better, the league is more talented, and it is a lot more skill based. A lot of the players back then couldn’t survive in todays nba unless they were freak athletes or very talented players. Steph is arguably the most skilled player of all time up there wit kyrie. I guarantee you that if mj was asked if kd was a hofer then he would have said yes. Curry is great without the size and on top of that he is a better player than kd no question.!so yeah dawg that is not a fact bro you proved nothing🤦🏾‍♂️

[@MercurySmith-]

Dont be dumb. You know what he was saying.

[@jeansienkin]

He could have said that Curry already booked his spot as a hall of famer (which is obviously the case, even back then, now well you just gotta be a hater not to acknowledge it), he didn't so he definitely tried to put some shade on Curry. Nothing ambiguous really.

[@KobeLoverTatum]

Steph Curry is not literally Michael Jordan, this is an actual fact, they are two separate people, and yet MJ couldn’t make this point. -Your logic.

I love your content MJ (“Its your boy MJ”) keep doing your thing man… is top 3 in the league and has been for a decade now!! He should have been ranked number 1 probably Twice as the best player in the league!! I’m okay with him having that ranking after all the things he accomplished last season!! 1st all time in threes, MVP of the ASG, the first WCF MVP, his fourth Chip, Finals MVP,12-1 out the gate to start the season, was in the conversation for MVP before he got hurt last season!! He’s got nothing else to prove….. but I can see the GSW winning it all again next yr (BACK TO BACK) and that will open a whole different set of conversation cause he would have 5 chips then!! But he is definitely top 10 right NOW.. (8th) IMO what you think MJ???? I love (pause) I enjoy your take on Steph!!! Keep it up man!!

In my opinion, Curry is the second best player behind Giannis. But I totally understand why some people rank him at #1. I mean the guy carried the Warriors to a title by himself.

[@colelowder]

I am a Steph curry fan and I approve this message 👍

[@T1Oracle]

Giannis can't beat Steph in a playoff game. Giannis is good, but Stephen Curry is much better. Steph's off ball movement, playmaking, crossovers, finishing, are all beyond Giannis's skill, and that's not even counting the shooting. Giannis is faster, after he's had time to get going at least. Giannis is taller and way stronger. However, Giannis is not as skilled or as crafty as Stephen Curry, by any measure.

[@giannistragakis6742]

@@T1Oracle playoff games are not 1v1s. It all depends on the teams. Also its not fair to compare a guard to a big man. I wont disagree with what u said, but fans usually forget to talk about defence. And Giannis is miles better in defence than Curry.

So what Ankle breaking handles and jukes? Who cares Defense distorting offensive gravity? puh-lease Changed the way the Game is played? Save it for someone who cares No Bully Post game for poster Dunks? WHAT?! No Dunks, No HOF 4u!! The Man put in the work to maximize his abilities, and does it to the benefit of the team.

[@TomArmstrong303]

Curry isn't respected by other players because of his arrogance. True champions are humble, because they might get hurt any day and their career may be over. He IS the best shooter in the league, no doubt, but he brags about it all the time. That's why MJ doesn't see him in the Hall Of Fame, imo. It's the same with Christiano Ronaldo in soccer: He is also a controversial figure, because he shows the same kind of arrogance as Curry.

And Steph beating everybody WITHOUT superstar foul calls. Why do y’all think Curry’s the only one who doesn’t get em? U think the league doesn’t have the tape of how it calls it? Cuz it all other superstars are getting the calls, but Steph is still more efficient than them and generates more points and higher net ratings than them, they’re still better than him. Riigght. If he got those calls he’d be even more dominant. I’m sure y’all would still call the Nike athlete better.

[@thej1615]

Curry’s been the best since 14-15 and definitely 15-16. And will still at least the next 2-3. Best playoff winning percentage of ANY MVP in HISTORY. Never been swept 🧹 or lost in 5 (unlike Lebron or mj both with multiples), longest on the road playoff win streak in history still ongoing. Bron went to Miami to play with Wade and Bosh and said he was gonna win more than four and eeked out two. Got one off the Warriors going down 3-1 with Steph MCL hobbled and winning after Bogut goes down and a whole bunch of wild calls. And then gets a bubble championship after an offseason between the playoffs and the regular season with no travel coming downstairs shooting jn the gym. Y’all even know he has the most turnovers in history? But all u hear from the media is Lebron always makes the right decisions. Steph won more titles quicker and even let KD wear the bus driver uniform while sitting in the back for 2 of em. Then showed those who fall for Nike arguments that he’s the one with bus driver on his license……. And y’all still saying he ain’t the best. Wonder why y’all so afraid to admit who the big bad wolf is. No matter who players SAY they think’s the best, who they been guarding like he’s the best for 7 years? I’ll wait

There's a few problems why people can't respect Steph Curry the way they should. He's so damn amazing that there's nobody that people are able to compare him to especially since he just only 6'3. People only compare James and Jordan to each other cuz they sort of played the same style and are close to the same height. LeBron won his for rings with three different teams and Steph one four rings with the same team over 8 years and and only two of those years. People never think about how there's more teams now than there was back when teams were winning championship constantly.

To me he is the smartest also and that is why Golden State build players around him. He's not talk and strong yet he keeps winning. No one can take that from him. Especially not his adversaries saying dumb shit that makes him even better. I bet he be like let them talk. He just gets them back on the court, that is what I would do!
