- In this episode of Signature Shots, ESPN analyst Kirk Goldsberry explores the 3-point repertoire of Stephen Curry, most notably those of the unassisted and off-dribble variety. Curry's volume and efficiency on 3-pointers powered the Golden State Warriors to five straight NBA Finals appearances and three rings from 2015-19.

Ohhh what a shot from Curry!!
73-9 but 15-10 in the playoffs LOL. That was the definition of a regular season team only
@@russel43fromthefieldwestbr60 always got that 1 hater
@@marqkuisphillip7318 remember when donkey flagrantly kicked Steven Adam’s in the nuts while getting blocked? And then complaining like HE got fouled?
Yesterday they were saying he’s expired, today he’s the best shooter/point guard in the world. People are fickle man!! This man is so much fun to watch. We are lucky to be alive to see it!
It drives me nuts
That's actually not true. Those who said he's expired aren't now saying that he's the best pg in the world, they're still saying he's washed and that he just had one good game.
It's just that the voices saying he was washed were loud and more belligerent when Curry was "struggling" (with 27 ppg), but now that he's showed up again, those voices have quieted down and now the voices who were supporting Curry can be heard.
Those who said he expired are still saying that, but now they're muttering it under their breath all salty.
@@gray_gogy yes, you’re technically right. But the people who think he’s washed were wrong. Period.
@@kacatx91 that's for sure
@@kacatx91 they never understood Curry's playstyle or Kerr's philosophy. His goal and intent is always to make sure the team clicks first. If the team doesn't click and know how to move and play within the system, it doesn't matter how well Curry plays, the team's ceiling will be low.
So even though his numbers were suffering, Curry was working to make the team click and try to get the rhythm that they had in 2016. That will raise the ceiling of the team and make them contenders when Klay gets back.
He's the only guy that we can say actually, legitimately changed how the game is played and the way it's being viewed. Whole offences, defences have changed, kids in school college play differently, all because of this man and gsw. Mj lbj kobe, Iverson those guys had massive influence but didn't change the style of basketball being played. GOAT PG 🐐
No finals mvp…. MJ all day. 73-9 don’t mean a thing without a ring.
@@iamtravelzap >Philippines
@@iamtravelzap dude stop riding mj
he wasn't even a PG
@@iamtravelzap bro he talked about how curry changed the game, not who's the goat.
LBJ changed the game too. He is pretty much the model for PER and other analytic stats. Because of lebron, front offices, coaches, players, trainers etc started using advanced stats and favoring efficiency (sometimes to a fault) over volume. LeBron also made it to were superstars today HAVE to be well rounded in order to be elite. Draymond, Ben Simmons, and more are baby LeBrons
Dawg i never appreciated how deep his shots were until i saw the blue line visual representation of all the shots he took in each season. Those shots are downright *BIZZARE*
its even more mind-blowing seeing them live and being on the receiving end of it
That okc game curry bangs the shot still gives me chills lmao
Yup
it even moved durant to warrior!
Ill never forget that game. And i forget a lot.
I don't think Mike Breen has said the double bang since. I could be wrong though.
@@DOJAx707 he did for Luka’s game winner against the clippers in the bubble last year
The best part about Stephen Curry, at least to me, is how he makes it feel like you don't need to be an athletic monster to be a good basketball player. You work hard, practice putting shots up and you can be great. Look at Curry man, so inspirational.
People talk stats all day, but like the greats say: your influence on the basketball world, and how you contributed to the griwth of basketball fandom, is also something that makes you great. Magic vs Bird. Air Jordan. Steph. People who never had fun watching basketball started having fun after watching these guys. Yeah, they're bandwagons- but the fact that there's so many shows how entertaining those players make the game
So inspirational
It's called STEPHORTLESS
😂😂😂
@@theinktician Agreed IMPACT and INFLUENCE is a major fact of greatness in the game
which is why a lot of people hate him, because Curry crashed their dreams of NBA being dominated by Big men, Athleticism and fancy moves.... which is why only MJ and Curry are the most Influential players because they give zero fucks about what the media and fans say and thinks, they are not in the NBA to please the audience, theyre in the NBA to do their jobs, to win Rings!!
"Ruler of the deep before we ever uttered Logo Lillard..." I like that
Thats so true
I still get chills from that okc game. I remember watching it live, literally insane.
You a warriors fan?
@@blizzz. Basketball fan
Same
That entire year was nuts. One game he was hot, I forget against who, but they lost him on a pick and the defender looked at him and didn't even bother to try to closeout. He was just that money
shame it wasn't buzzer beater..but still the best 3pt shot ever
I’m offended that they said he “probably” is the best 3pt shooter😂
It should not be "probably" it should be definitely
@@typicalwarrior3085 exactly !
He’s the best, unequivocally.
He’s the greatest shooter period
Yeaaa bruhh, def 1000% not “probably” but Definitely the greatest shooter to ever walk in the NBA 🙏🏼
That transition 3 is the difference maker, that is probably thee worst shots you can take but he made it to where it’s a good shot. That’s crazy.
42% bruh. I remember a 40% 3pt shooter is good enough. There's a 50/40/90 club, but he shot a "bad shot" above it.
Steph really turned it from the worst shot you could take to probably the most dangerous point of attack. Most of his transition 3s have altered the flow of the game giving them the upper hand.
One year later to this video, Steph had won everything (NBA ,surpassed all time 3 points leader ,MVP in all star, MVP in western conference finals ,MVP in NBA finals championship)
And poise to win a few more championships before he retire
Steve Kerr disagrees, said he still don't have gold in olympics. 😂😂😂
This is why Curry is so exciting to watch. He hits the 3 from anywhere on the court, from a pass, in transition and more spectacularly, off the dribble. His ball handling skills are extraordinary.
Bro, this video is a masterpiece. Steph is one of the most revolutionary players in the history of basketball. Appreciate his greatness while he's still in the league

Facts bruh
I have so many disrespectful friends who think curry is bad and yet here he is scoring 62
Exactly his the greatest shooter that we will ever see we all should not take it for granted. Cause we will never see another steph curry never.
My old head uncle was trying to tell me that curry isn’t the best shooter of all time and kyrie is better then him
Right he hadn’t played like 30+ games last season of course he’s going to be rusty yet these ppl don’t get it,
9:00 I love how Steve Kerr waves them to go on. He was confident in the team's ability to finish without using that timeout :D
“He makes dominance look different. Maybe even more attainable.”
Logo Lillard is the diet coke to Half Court Curry.
Lillard is in stephs league in comparison to the rest of the nba(steph still in another league if you know what i mean) trae young would be diet steph
@@Emmanny facts
Made me think of Dr Evil. Lol "Lillard is quazi Curry, he is semi Curry, He is the margarine of Curry, He is the diet coke of Curry...just one calorie...not Curry enough"...
@@Emmanny I don't think Trae Young is a Diet Steph. If you watch him, his playstyle is quite different. He's a ball dominant scorer and playmaker, and Curry as this video showed is a great team player and both off and on ball threat.
Sure Trae shoots a lot of threes, but doesn't everyone now?
But Curry is still better let's not get that twisted

9:48 ... i got goosebumps and teary eyed😭😭
9:58 that girl expression says all the unbelievable frustration oklahoma felt that time
Tired of hearing the words: "Curry is one of the best shooter in the league."
Heeeyyy, HE IS THE BEST SHOOTER OF ALL TIME!!
ikr. no need to be diplomatic. no one is gonna argue if you remove "probably"
Best 3 point shooter. Lmao theres mid range and inside shooting, and he is no where near the best in those areas. Stop exaggerating his abilities, give him his due credit and move on. Its disrespectful to other players.
@@julian2238 i mean, there's a lot of good shooters in the league wether in midrange or long range. Yeah that's true. But, just be honest curry inspired them to release more shots than they ever done
@@romsawyer2694 that's facts, he did change the league. I jus think we gotta give the shot creators credit too. People forget that theres different types of off dribble/difficult shot type shots as well. Like spins. Half spins. Multi directional spins and step backs. Fades. Step throughs. Dribble pull ups. Post fades and all the other post moves that involve shooting. But steph is best 3 shooter all time, no debate needed. And one of the best shooters all around the court also
@@julian2238 i think that also counted when naming him the best shooter. will you call MJ the best shooter with his unguardable fadeaway? will you call KD best shooter with his unparallel midrage game? obviously not. you cant say anyone else a better pure shooter than curry. that's why it's ok to call him best shooter all time. (sorry for my english tho)
"Probably the best 3pt shooter" y'all need to stop acting like it's a debate.
The debate ended 5 years ago..

This is why I don’t get the Kerr slander.. Sure he is really lucky to have great players in his roster but what he did to a stagnant GS offense while keeping the defensive schemes that Jackson implemented is nothing but remarkable.
Agreed. Steve nash is seeing it isn't as easy as keer made it look and he had good players everywhere
Lucky to have what?Now he is lucky to have this set of players...right?
@@thelibran11 lucky to have a generational player in curry, a generational skillset in klay, and an overachiever and great mind in draymond. Lucky to have a former all star in igoudala willing to take a lesser role for the greater good of the team. Lucky to have a guy like livingston get passed on by other teams and play the role he did with them.
Warriors needed both coaches at the times they had them. Jackson came in and made then one of the best defensive teams in the league, and instilled a winning mentality in the team. But his offense was never going to unlock the team the way Kerr did. Kerr came in and took a good team and made them transcendent.
@@TheUndefeatedOfTheEast he took what mark jackson had and won a championship. Sure kyrie K love all that but still a conference finals is not what people expected 😂
Crazy how as seasons go by, his range keeps getting further and further back...Halfcourt will be his new normal.
his range gets further? more like stats the same. he’s never made 3’s like 2016 homie. the numbers tell the story 😂😂😂
WILL BE!?
you say that as if it's not already 😂😂
He is literally a living legend, thanks for everything Steph.
You can take the “probably” away from the best shooter ever. He is the best ever.
"They do have a timeout, decide not to use it. Curry, waaaaay downtown, BANG! BANG! Oh, what a shot from Curry! With 6/10ths of a second remaining! The brilliant shooting of Stephen Curry continues..."
I watched it live and still gave me chills til now.
Curry was just so good at basketball the legendary 3 pointer no one can even beat not even close.
Before they kept trash talking him, now most people acknowledge him as the
“3 Point King”
That OKC shot is still the most iconic. That was the game everyone in the house was hitting each other, running here and there, screaming, rolling on the floor and sofa in awe! Still gives me goosebumps everytime! 🙌
There’s no “probably” about him being the best shooter ever, it’s fact.
and the fact that they said 'the best "3 point" shooter.. like wth.. the man's THE BEST SHOOTER. PERIODT.
Lol there are 3 levels of scoring on the floor, with different types of shooting in each level. He is only the best in the 3rd level, he is no where near the best in levels 1 and 2. Kd kobe and kyrie are all better shooters overall. It makes me itch how yall think that being the best 3 point shooter makes you the best shooter overall. Yall needa go do yall hw fr yall sound uneducated
@julian no one better at shooting period brotha
Curry holds all the 3 point records he's also getting doubled teamed every game and still is the team leader in points
@@julian2238 ???

This was a wonderfully put together video. I appreciate the time you put in to making this. Curry is the best!
In one sentence.... He changed the game🤩
Look at Curry man
Steph for me is the 🐐 of this generation of players. He revolutionize the game now that many players even the tall guys make 3s. Steph 3s made teams revise their offensive/ defensive plays coz of long 3s by players now which Curry made it a component in the game the way it is played. No doubts about it.
This man really changed the game
Kirk Goldsberry's enthusiasm for basketball is contagious! I love these signature shot pieces he does!
There's 3 eras of NBA basketball. Pre-NBA/ABA merger, post merger, and post-2016. Curry's shot in OKC, and his 2016 season changed the NBA forever.

@@deejaay387 you said "even the big's are shooting 3's"

Thanks for giving Kerr credit for setting him loose. Sure he had the talent on his roster but he made the adjustments to let them shine the right way.

2:55 watch Curry at the bottom of the screen walk away wit his head down like the play is over than sike im off to the side boom catch and shoot that was too smooth
I noticed that too. Stuff like that makes defenders lose concentration i guess and then bam there's another 3

Ok now this is the signatures shot we've been waiting for
He’s not only shot better, he’s accomplished more accolades than Damian Lillard can ever imagine.
Indeed!
The thing is, ppl love Lillard's antics in Twitter more than the actual accolades to compare the two. No wonder the capitol happened.. Too many simpletons and stupidheads these days dude.

The quality of this video is amazing
Best shooter of basketball history. The 3pt God. Enjoy watching him, no point in hating on this god.
Great content! Although you missed one aspect why Curry is so deadly at catch and shoot... the relocation 3! It makes him so lethal that defenders cannot rest even if Curry doesnt have the ball. Hope you can add that part.
Finally.. Some Steph Curry appreciation. Idk why ppl hate so much just enjoy this once in a lifetime talent. 2 MVP’s and 3 titles. Greatest shooter ever.
The greatest shot maker in the NBA league ever had.
Thank you, I really enjoyed this.
I love this series!! Keep it up!!!
The most interesting part about Stephs's shooting is that somehow the stars aligned in a way that he ends up being teammates with Klay Thompson. Another all-time great shooter,in my opinion the greatest 3 point shooter besides Steph. And not only that,he also plays in a way that complimates Steph,where he doesn't need the ball that much in order to get his shots up. Their personality also mesh together really well. On defense is a great match where Klay can guard the best guards so Steph doesn't have to and can save his energy for dribbling,something Klay doesn't really do. Is absolutly amazing they ended up playing toegther from the start and were able to reach their prime together. Shame what happend with Klay's injury but while it lasted...it was magical. 2 of them together on the team. That will never happen again.
