Listen to State of the Union: sprtspod.fox/Lalas
the biggest compliment to Steph is when he gets held to expectations that they hold players who are 6’6 + with amazing athleticism.
Because people are saying he’s top 10 all time he’s not
Cuz people give him too much credit and when they get told the truth it offends them then they say you a hater
Agree. And he isn't ball dominant like so many of the guys he gets compared to.
@@AlexRodriguez-jt3wo If he wins the MVP he is 12th all time. Not far from Hakeem and Byrd.
@@JCic22 he’s better than Kobe
Broussard is the only guy who had been honest about Steph's performance. This was a top 5 all time finals game
Everybody has been looking for that signature finals moment from Steph … they don’t have to look any further
Definitely, historically Curry has been at his most dominant in the WCF but this year he truly saved the best for last.
Steph was magnificent in the game. Should have gotten some free throws.
Game 5 2015 he did it. This ain’t new G.
@@TheReal4Nando facts. people don't know basketball history, just regurgitate what everyone else says.
@@TheReal4Nando it was against a depleted Cavs though
How is it possible that curry haters exist? Does not make sense. He is a living legend.
You are Right Sir! Living Legend!!! Period!!!!!🤨
Its cuz bros demoralizing opposing teams. Thank God im a Curry fan
Steph got his haters in shambles lol we just gotta get 2 more and these dudes are cooked for life!
especially Nick and Skip!
Old skip still gonna bring up 2016 lol.
@@naranja1972 right lol
🍆🚴🏻
Idk what’s more worse
Curry or lebron 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
For life?… lol
The idea that steph is OVERrated by the media is the most propostrous thing I have ever heard about sports.
He is the ONLY guy who as the CLEARLY best player on the winning team did not get fmvp, which is still being defended by the same members of the media
Exactly. How Iggy won when was averaging over 25 and 5 for the series is beyond me
Nick wright a 40-10 game by guys who are 6'9, 6'11 shooting 5-10 footers and dunks is not as impressive as a guy who's 6'3 shooting 25 footers. Now Giannis with his 40-20 game was absolutely insane.
The only thing that matters is how you contribute to your team winning - something that Steph is top tier at. Being more impressive doesn't mean better
If you noticed, Steph didn't have the same ankle breaker moves as he normally does and he still killed it. That dude normally knocks guys off balance with his ankle breakers.
And curry should have gotten finals MVP their first title...
Giannis had major help on the offensive end. Warriors squad hasn't been contributing like they were in the regular or post season in this finals, so yeah, what Steph is doing against one of the best defensive squads solo while being double teamed is crazy!!!
Looks like Curry is about to get his first FMVP 💯
His number one need for his career is still longevity but a finals mvp doesn’t hurt.
@@mattmmixes Exactly! People keep being up finals MVP like it is a hole on his resume. 2015 was his fMVP imo.
The glaring hole is the 4 All-NBA first teams. Kobe has 11!
The fact that Harden has more and Luka has tied him already is a concern.
@@88jaspersimmons “glaring hole” 😂😂😂😂 bro nobody ever said Steph was better than Kobe so why does it matter that Steph has less than Kobe? Lol PG is the most stacked position in the league 4 all nba first teams is just fine Isiah Thomas only has 3 and he’s widely regarded as the 2nd best PG of all time lol
@@88jaspersimmons you guys get way too caught up in awards it seems like you don’t know how to evaluate a player on your own
@@spaceghost4628 Yeah you are right about awards. Why should we evaluate some silly award like a championship or an MVP when considering the greatest players of all time? Just silly 😂
9:38 “Klay Thompson was there”. Bro is actually comparing 2017 Klay Thompson to 2022 Klay Thompson. That’s like comparing 2002 Shaq and 2007 Shaq.
Preach lol
He just hates the warriors lol they tormented lebron. That’s his guy. He’ll never give actual compliments.
That’s absolutely not the same thing a shooter will retain most of his value offensively because it’s primarily based on that set motion if anything since he’s cold it may be even worse now since they want him to remain cold and leaving him open to double steph would cause him to heat up which is why you play him honest
Max said it best where Stephs game is an evolution .. 2022 curry far better than past playoff stephs..
Brou walked right into that Curry FMVP discussion hahaha
Yeah. He worked him in this segment.
LeBron is 6’ 9”, Giannis is 6’ 11”, and KD is )6’ 10”. Stop telling me it’s not different when the dude who is SEVEN INCHES SHORTER than the SHORTEST of those gets a 40 point double double in the finals against a team that just sent two of those dudes home.
that too with rebounds and not assists. People underrate his rebounding at his position ngl
Thank you
Nick loves comparing Steph to 6'9/ 6'11 giants 🤣🤣🤣😭
Like how does no one call him out on it lmao
The same way people love saying Steph is better than 6'9/6'11 giants. Therefore, it's only fair you'd make the comparison.
Thats because people like saying he's better than them when he's not.
@@Simataa what he does being 6’3 now imagine if he was 6’9 what he could do.
He’s one of the best players of all time if you dispute that you are a hater
CURRY WILL NEVER GET HIS PROPER RESPECT
Why do people hate Curry?? That's my question. I've never seen a potential top 10 player get hated like that man.
Lebron get faaarrr more hate. But idky lol
Lol why do Steph fans have the biggest victim complex in the nba? He’s pretty much universally loved. It’s 85 percent praise and 15 percent hate and y’all stay crying.
That's because people are Dum and are going to hate anyway. Those people have a problem with Life. Just say a prayer for them. 🤨
@@yaboisoe178 If he have stayed on ONE TEAM he'd be a Real Goat 🐐🤨
Cause they are Lebron fans mostly.
Hearing Nick complain about the “extra” the media adds to their analysis of Steph’s play is rich lol. There’s a certain favorite player of Nick’s for whom the same thing is done quite often-even when he misses the playoffs.
Man defends bron to no end then always hating Steph
Nick just had to rub that in about Lebron did the 40 point double double five different times against golden state in the finals. I see you Nick. 👍
Hard not to mention it if that's your guy
Well he forgot to mention he played golden state 22 times in the finals and his overall record was 7-15
@@Joes35 obviosly, gsw with kd wasnt gonna lose to anybody, nice of you to leave out context like a true casual!
@@Joes35 and how many of those 22 games were the Warriors favored? Yeah that’s what I thought
@@youraverage90sguys7 BRONSEXUALS UNITE
Chris is right. KDs Performances he got to play 1 on 1 against players since Steph and 100% Klay were on the court. Steph doesnt get that luxury here.
Curry is regularly doubled and sometimes tripled
@@Says_me And at times, even quadruple teamed!
Best playoff performance ever. Steph's best overall performance was in 2016 vs OKC in the regular season.
Nope lol this is his best performance… the stages are 100 times higher and this warriors team isn’t as good as the 2016 team
Did u just say a regular season game was better than this finals game?
Facts. That OKC game was mind blowing. I thought Steph was going to break the game of basketball like Shaq. It didn’t happen, but that OKC game was the iconic Steph game.
I think the 2019 semi finals against the Rockets Game 6 was his best playoff game ever…33 in the second half and he was just abusing the Rockets
@@joshuajames3453 the fact that this is his signature finals/playoff moment just shows why he isn't a top 10 player
Appreciate the greatness that is Steph Curry Warriors in 6
Nick rolled Broussard perfectly 🤣
Nick- Should is not a question! *Broussard's face* Lmao
Jenna actually mentioned at the beginning of the sentence.
The everybody has done the 40 and 10…okay. But how many were point guards and how many have been against the best defense in the league???
8:24 Nick it’s because of people like skip bayless, Kendrick Perkins, max Kellerman, you, and a lot of other people hate on Steph so much we defend him so much
Wiles analogy was perfect
How many guards pushing 6’2” have 40 point double doubles with 10 rebounds? Enough said.
Curry wanted to play this game and showed up big and helped golden State warriors win
We didn't need the media to tell us about Jordan's flu game or Isaiah's hurt ankle game
Giannis should have 40 and 10+ he’s like 7 foot, 250 all muscle with like a 6’9 wingspan. Curry is 6’3 with NO athleticism. It’s just not the same 40 and 10 I’m sorry. If Curry had their (Lebron/Giannis) build with his skill set he would easily be the greatest player of all time
I wouldnt say NO athleticism, he outpaces people every game. That alone takes a lot of stamina which is in fact an element of athleticism
@@insertnamehere2746 stamina… not athleticism. I get it he’s an athlete of course he’s an athlete at the highest level but Giannis/Lebron are a couple of the greatest athletes ever. It’s still not the same.
@@cozyboymedia stamina is not an element of athleticism? Tell that to every marathon runner / ironman competitor ever. Im willing to bet theyre more of an athlete than you
@@insertnamehere2746 so you’re suggesting Steph curry is the same caliber of athlete on both sides of the ball as Giannis. I just want to get that on record.
@@cozyboymedia No, you were thr one that said Curry had NO athelticism. That's on record until you edit your comment
You’re only as good as your last game and he went crazy last game ❤️🔥
Goo broussard we are behind you defending our superstar steph...no one could be compared to him..as a player..
Nick is just mad that Steph is beloved like LeBron never has been and never will be.
TRUE!!!
Ok here's how the narrative for Steph was set up literally all week leading up to the finals everyone bloviated and gassed up Boston's defense who is no doubt a great defense. How they shredded KD, Giannis, and Butler efficiency wise. Then Steph goes out (primarily because Boston has played one part idiotic and one part genius defense on the warriors of saying you know what Steph beat us we'll lock these other guys) and shoots so far through 4 games (a lot can change) 50 percent from the field and 49 percent from 3 while averaging 34. The media did this to themselves so they can A. Credit Steph a bunch of B. Absolutely destroy him. C. Have a great narrative about how this Boston defense destroyed some legends and are possibly the best defense of all time (absolute nonsensical farce).
Lmaooo “Klay Thompson was at his best” 😂😂😂😂
No Steph doesn't fxxking deserve the FMVP if they lose. Stop messing with historical precedence and trying to baby him. He needs to win to get rewarded.
They asked the same question about LeBron a few years ago too. I don't think he should win it if they lose, but you can't blame him if he continues to play like this and they lose
You don't know basketball! Young and you know the next line!🤨
@@davedanny5268 Huh?
@@Mektek19 he said you young and dumb lol
Steph’s game 4 was better than Durant’s entire finals career with added context.
Spoken like a true casual
@@ihatecasuals5065 touch grass
Naw , KD game 3’s in the finals with the dubs was very important & in one steph & klay was bad he carried them
Lmao Y’all so dumb. Kd is 10x the player Steph ever was
@@zayareacts215 they were up 2-1 wdym lol
Nick Wright is hating this performance, knowing it will eventually lead to Steph's 4th ring, equaling Lebron - making a case for the best in this generation. Nick is dying inside. Look at this face! I love every minute of it.
No argument. Lebron is and always will be the best of this generation. Higher ppg, rpg, apg, 4 mvps, 4 fmvps, 10 finals appearances. The only thing curry does better is shoot 3s
@@johnydabbous3673 Steph shoots better, better handles, better finisher at the rim, better off ball movement, just to name a FEW lol you’re a casual
I honestly think I’m out on all these “hot take” shows for awhile. These Steph takes have been wild 😂
Too be fair, If this is a so much more talented league (I dont think its so much more talented than 90 and up) but holding a 6’2-6’3 guard to a different standard against dudes 6”6 and up makes sense. If he wins with this team, I think it def puts him in the top 10 class..
Aaaannnnndddd thts exactly what he did lol
I never agree with Nick but he's right on the money about this one
How??
I love Chris Rebuttal at the end of the video
Nick mentioned Lebron at least 2 times. Is there a basketball tournament in Cancun right now?
A guard who doesn’t dominate the ball getting 40-10 is more impressive than a player/playstyle like Giannis or Lebron getting 40-10
9:37 that’s Klay after tearing his ACL and Achilles you didn’t even listen to what Chris said he said “Klay at his best”
While mentioning bron. Also mention where he’s at vs where steph is at currently. That’s all. Dubs in 6
Nick only cares about stats. At this point i am convinced he only looks at the box score and doesnt watch any of the games
This is the perfect example to never listen to the external!!curry jus single handed won that must win game basically by himself!!!
Nick saying the bit about adding a little bit extra is so ironic when he has been doing that for LeBron for years now lol
Unfortunately for him it will only be remembered if GSW wins the series. We remember PG’s game 5 against the Suns but Steph is a different animal he is held to a higher standard. He needs to win the series for it to matter.
Mission Accomplished.
Remember that KD got swept by this defense
Nick did predict this reaction last week
He hedged his bet on both outcomes. Let's not forget he changed picks
They act like we don't properly pay attn
This is the first finals game where I can legitimately say he was clutch, boy activated god mode
Lol maybe u should rewatch games 4&5 from 2015 . This was his most iconic so far tho
😂😂
You haven’t watched many finals games by Steph then
@@AG30 i watched all of them, he rarely showed up in the 4th line he did this game, in all the other ones they were ahead not behind, that’s what clutch means, when it’s one possession or less and he comes in and turns on god mode
@@beastyboy101bo they were literally down in the 4th quarter of gm 5 in 2015 and he put them up, scoring 17 in that 4th quarter. Try again.
We need ppl that care enough to be competent
Once again, no matter if you avg. 100 pts a game and your team loses they could have LOST without you! No one on a losing team should win MVP. Period
Not only that, the only player in a losing team to ever get the FMVP completely hated it.
Once Again get your figures Right! JERRY WEST! 🤨
Nick arguing Steph Curry gets scripted excuses is ironic given he supports the "King" of the scape GOAT.
Lebron has an entire legacy of "he did enough but everyone else is to blame for him not winning."
9:37 what part of “Klay Thompson was at his best” does Nick not understand
Can somebody please tell nickWRONG that this Finals is about the Warriors and the Celtics, and Not about his boyfriend???
Stan Wrong
Death and life are in the power of the tongue they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Lol @ Jenna...'you're putting it at the front of a sentence so it's a question '..
Curry was a legendary God Tier all time performance and his best game ever, but his ankle was close to 100% fine ppl gotta stop with that.
You on the warriors staff now
No it wasn’t bud.
bru gotta be a little more fair to KD, game 3 2018 finals Steph Curry: 3-16 11 points, Klay Thompson 4-11 10 points, KD : 43-13-7
Curry tripled team all game is the reason why kd got those points.
I thought a series was 7 games, not 1?
Warriors still got to beat the Celtics for Steph to be FMVP.
Mission Accomplished.
Show us the tape when you refer to the game. Surely it's in the nba's interest to allow that.
Nick's getting ready to flip flop again
How come we can’t see the videos?
Nick, everyone gets that. You just pay attention to Steph. "Lebron has no help." Middleton averages 26-6-6 and yet it was all Giannis. You just only notice it when it's Steph.
Love or hate him Nick is very observant. He was/is right about the Curry bias.
And he ain’t biased about lebron👀
The Curry bias comes for the media tho so its like media hating on media. It has nothing to do with Curry lol
No he’s not, he’s making up his own argument to defend.
Comparing a a guy 6’3 to a guys 6’8 or taller is so dumb. You don’t really see pgs at that size have this big of an impacts. Just acknowledge the greatness.
The Finals MVP talk is so wrong. Nobody in the losing side is getting it no matter what the situation is. LeBron didn’t get it in 2015 and the person who got it was Iguodala so you know nobody on the losing side can’t win it. Jerry West didn’t get it in 1970 even though he was phenomenal and clearly had the best series out of anyone that Finals. Shaq in 2004 could have won it by they went with Chauncey who wasn’t better than Shaq but was the best player in the winning side. 2014, Kawhi wins it due to his effect on the game but there is an argument that he wasn’t even a top 2-3 player on the court that series and LeBron, although he didn’t play that well with most of his numbers coming in garbage time, he was still the best player in the court that Finals and Duncan averaged a double double and was efficient and Tony Parker led them in scoring too but Kawhi being efficient and very effective on both ends got him the award over those guys and LeBron. The fact that they are talking about Steph possibly getting the award is ridiculous if they lose because we have seen players on the losing side play much better and we have seen players on the potential winning side play worse than what Jaylen Brown has been doing.
Wrong Jerry West young person. Oh Wow! Can not know what you don't know! 🤨
@@davedanny5268 yeah that was even before the 70s and we’re talking about it going to game 7 and Jerry West averaging 38 points a game with nearly 5 rebounds and over 7 assists with 49% shooting from the field. That’s what it took back than and right now seeing as they didn’t give it to some of these players like LeBron in 2014 and 2015 and Shaq in 04, what Steph is doing is definitely bot enough.
Steph got them shook 😂
easily Steph's best game of his career
check our game reaction posted immediately after to see how I broke it down
🔥🔥
If Steph curry wins his 4th championship and first finals MVP his top 10 all time
Every great game is not iconic. Media is so annoying
Come on kd road was some much easier nick your skip Bayless is showing a little, that was way more impressive than them other warriors teams
Celtics are done
Well idk.. they proved they can beat golden state number 2 steph gonna need some help even klay said it
They're tied
I love Steph as a player and I dislike Nick as a media personality……with that being said he nailed that take! They coddle Steph Curry and that “injury” was so over exaggerated and over blown!
you capping u don't know how Hurt he was and nick was begging steph played bad now he and u salty
No way big Al drops on any ones leg and they aren't feeling it for a week.
WOULDVE LOVED TO SEE THE REPLAYS SMHH
I would like to praise Steph but then Chris had to compare his “injury” to the MJ food poisoning game to the IT 25 points in the 3rd against the Showtime Lakers on an ACTUAL SWOLEN SPRAINED ANKLE. He couldn’t land on his right ankle at all and was clearly limping. Wildes and Nick owned him today 😂😂
L Chris was right
Chris “oBiousLY” Broussard
Nick don’t know what he’s talking about! He said the Warriors will never win another Chip! They did Nick need to shut his mouth!
Jenna’s got the most boring job in the world!!!! Read a sentence then sit for 5 min… then repeat for 2 hrs
N she's the best part of the show
There’s no debate about if Jordan had the flu, Chris. The man himself said he ate a bad pizza lol.
Chris is capping this was not his flu game
Idk if nick is as smart as he thinks or he’s good at playing it off. Should is used in a question all the time and it was literally a question mark at the end of it.
Nick is a hater
Why do they keep throwing lebron in the convo when it’s obvious Steph is lebron favorite
Nick wright ain’t taking about nothing.
U hater of curry Nick Left....where is your LEGONE and LAL ??? Give credit when credit is due...respect curry...
Nick is just so dishonest and disingenuous with his commentary.
It was a top 3 finals performance of all time, period.
It’s ok when he does it for Lebron. But Goe forbid another players gets overhyped in a game!
"I don't know why we have to add a little extra..." - Nick Wright.
Oh really? Like you haven't CONSTANTLY added a LOT extra when praising Lebron James? What a clown.
Nick, here's a tissue to wipe the LeProtein from your chin..
Nah if he wins it when Lebron played even better in 2015 that’s controversial aff he better not win it if they lose
He wasn’t injured lol. They are WAY over blowing this. Media always does too much.
Try telling that to the Curry fangirls 😭
This is not Baseball the Man going to play that's what he gets paid for. Ask Isaiah Pistons.
