The thing with Steph that amazes me every time, is we’re surprised when he misses. We EXPECT him to make any 3 he takes.
That’s so true
Facts you ain't never lied about that cus unless its 3 dudes on him or the shot ⏰ running down an he got to throw up something super crazy then I literally expect him to make every shot. Hell even the crowd at the game be expecting he gon make every shot.
Yes!!
EVEN the ridiculous shots....the 35-footers, the half-court shots, the fall-away 3s, the dribble-shake pull-ups, the step-backs, the crossover pull-ups!!!!
We still expect them to go in....SPLASH!
It is CRAZY!!
So does everyone in the nba that's why he's a defensive nightmare
Exactly....not just to make every 3 but "nothin' but net" 3's. Like his splash game is really insane and we have gotten VERY spoiled.
Steph's stamina is not talked about much. We all know he gets attacked when he's playing defense and still has enough energy to run around to get his shot on offense is crazy to me.
@Nick Taylor facts 😆
@Nick Taylor maybe it was posted before watching the entire video 🤔
@Nick Taylor You're the real MVP for this. ✌🏾😊👍🏾
@Nick Taylor he is saying that about fans and talking heads.players guard him so they know whats it about but everyone else just concentrates on his jumpers but not his conditioning
Of course he has stamina... Look at the number of kids he has already.
Steph will be in the GOAT conversation eventually once people understand advanced analytics more.
Exactly we’ll see and everyone dosent even know
If you ask me he been In the conversation
He still needs to be in top 10 before inserting him on Goat conversation.
He’s good for his generation but it’s too many names ahead of Him
Steph would already be in the GOAT convo if not for his mediocre perimeter defense, and sub-par paint defense. I honestly think of him as the ultimate offensive trump card, and a top 10 player
Kobe's assessment is on point. Few words, precise and sums it up perfectly this Phenom Steph Curry, we are lucky to be here to see play. RIP Kobe & Thank you for the memories.
❤️🩹
I miss Kobe !
When a NBA player said "you'll get used to it", you'll know that that player, which is Steph, is one of the definition of greatness. So amazing!
KOBE: There's a serious calmness about him which is extremely deadly!
Game recognized game
Amazing how cardio has not been weaponised until Steph. That pace and conditioning to pull up without exhaustion is phenomenal
No one talks about his crazy cardio until pascal said something about it, anybody in the world tries to copy him they won’t have legs to even attempt a shot, Steph most definitely was a marathon runner in a past life 😂
@@cameronpalmer401 hahaha facts
This is what makes beating them in a 7 game series so hard. Celtics looked like they had cement in their shoes by the 5th game. No more hustling on defense, they started flopping more and begging for fouls instead of getting up and hustling, they were losing all the 50/50 balls etc. If you're going to guard steph for 4 quarters you'd better have been working on your cardio well in advance.
@@mitchsn Finally someone said it. It's tough to beat a fully fit Warriors side with Curry and Klay in it through 7 games. They cover so much distance and now they've added Poole. You can't keep chasing these guys around for 40 minutes plus and not tire after 4 or 5 games max
They were talking about the importance of cardio back in the Iverson days because he ran your team into the ground playing full bore 40 minutes a night. Iverson showed up to nuggets camp out of shape and fat and still outran every player on the team. Dudes cardio was legendary.
Steph is really a once in 40 year player . He does way more than just shoot from wherever his feet stop. Man can finish at the rim as well as anybody , his IQ is elite , and his style of play can last till he feel like quitting
What's equally as remarkable is his character and leadership. He's the system, and he's the pace-setter for all these guys who come in and either play way better than their draft projections or earlier career would have indicated, or have the best season of their life, or otherwise work themselves into being the best basketball player they physically can be. A huge part of the Dubs phenomenal player development is that Steph is a massive gym rat and perfectionist with his skills, and you don't come to or stay in Golden State without following his lead.
What people don't understand is Steph don't have to touch the ball to make his team win, Steph's impact on the offense is beyond godlike and its not even close, people criticized him for his defense but he makes their offense so easy that they still have alot of energy on the defensive end that's why gsw is also good defensively too
Great point
I remember back in I think '16 or '17, maybe, Kerr was breaking down Steph's on/off impact during one of his worst shooting nights ever--maybe the first time he went without making a three for a whole game? (And yes, that was like 6 years ago! It's happened once since--just two games in his entire career where he's failed to sink a single three!) and demonstrating that even during this historically bad shooting performance, Steph's effect on the other team was still so profound that without scoring he gave the Dubs a +9 point advantage or something insane.
Shoots 0/10. Drew very few fouls. Scored maybe 12 points. Presence alone turned the team's O-rating from maybe 104 to 112. Unreal...but what could the other team do? They had to guard him. Sure, he was 0/6 in the beginning of the 3rd or what have you, but the moment they stop guarding him is the moment he knocks down 2 on consecutive plays and next thing you know he's finished the game with 8/15 from deep, with all his makes in the 3rd or 4th quarter.
They keep criticising Curry’s defence being mediocre but almost every guards in the league is below average defensively if you’re comparing them with forwards. My point is that Curry’s defence is very good if you only rank him against other guards.
@@JuliettKilo that’s what I don’t get. Magic is the goat PG but you never hear people criticize him for not having stellar defense and he was 6’9’’ but for 6’3” Steph he has to be one of the greatest offensive forces but also a lock down defender in order to get respect, it’s crazy.
Well said! The opponents also get tired chasing after Curry, Klay and now Poole. That fatigue can negatively affect their shooting. Plus there is one more affect that gets opponents out of their game mentally. Opponents can become discombobulated trying to keep up on defense or even dispirited. Once that happens, it's game over. The mental hopelessness can happen to players trying to cover Wiggins, too because they often have one eye on where Curry is which allows Wiggins to fly past the defender to receive a pass from Curry.
You have to guard him when he passes halfcourt because if not he will make you pay. The thing that’s so crazy and the most underrated part of his game is how much he moves around the court. He never stops running and is able to control the pace of himself while moving which can tire his defenders quickly and he’s still draining 3’s. Steph the greatest 3 point shooter ever and also one of the most unselfish players we’ve ever witness.
You'll never know why they got me in their mouth all you need to know is that these boys some hoez
@@WatchingLakersBasketball not his fault coach takes him out before he can score 70
@@knowledgechandler2292 Get money
@@WatchingLakersBasketball he does have the killer instinct. Don’t try to make something outta nothing. Steph doesn’t demand to stay in because he knows longevity matters. It’s easy to stay in when you’re not making finals runs every season. That shyt gets tiring. That’s that same mentality that’s gotten him 4 chips and multiple MVPs. I know you trollin but
Swerve
I don't like how some people say, "GSW is a big market so it could build a dynasty. Even if he changed to another PG it could build a dynasty." He made GSW a big market. Of course, I don't want to say that it's all because of him. Without Klay, Draymond, Steve Kerr, mark jackson, the GM, the owner, and above all, the fans, GSW wouldn't be what it is today. But in my opinion, Steph is at the center of it all.
I hope his leadership is properly recognized. That's why I hate the opinion that he's not great because he's blessed.
I love him, but I'm not saying he's number one all time. I just don't like the idea that GSW could build a dynasty without him. Don't get me wrong.
You can remove any of the others and there is a big chance the dynasty happens but you remove Curry and there is no chance the dynasty is going to happen.Thats why even Lacob and Kerr say wihout Steph nothing was goin to happen
Oakland/Bay Area was NEVER considered a major market in basketball. They didn't have a winning culture, or particularly good coaching, nothing to bring in quality free agents previous to Curry/Kerr era. I have to mention Kerr because no disrespect to him but Mark Jackson did not have the offensive mind that would've unlocked Curry the way we see today. To me Kerr is as important to this Warriors dynasty as Phil Jackson was for MJ 's bulls dynasty
Yup his bargain contract made it possible. Imagine if he had signed like rookie extension nowadays worth like 190m to 230m for 5 years, they would not make it that far as they would not have the flexibility to sign players. Same scenario with Pippen in the Bulls.
Speaking of market, I beg there is no other team has a bigger market than Knicks does. So where is Knick’s dynasty?
You typed all this up off an argument nobody makes 😂 you coulda just stated your opinion
Steph’s off ball movement makes him great not just bc it leads to scoring. It makes him great bc it serves as a decoy and leads to an insane amount of wide open layups off split actions and back door cuts. Even when Steph has an off night, his movement generates open looks for his teammates and the offense keeps humming. That’s what makes him special
Greatest/Most skilled/Most complete offensive player of all time. I’m convinced. Just as effective as MJ Kobe Bron KD with the on-ball stuff, but they can’t touch him when it comes to off-ball game.
The most skilled is Kyrie and Kobe. But Steph is very skilled.
@@TheSwagIsBack I don't know about kyrie
I got a feeling Steph is going to go stupid next season, not only do I see back to back championships but all the MVP trophies.💯
Steph deserves whatever he receives. He is a TEAM PLAYER and has a WARRIOR heart!
he is def going stupid,remember after his first chip,unanimous mvp because of doubters,the last year with kd although they lost too,both years when steph was going insane,but logical to me,even this year after they missed playoffs last year,it has to do with the team,at start they suck cause the team didnt know how to play with curry,steph has to run extra rounds,make up plays,accepting turnovers,figuring out,the year after most guys are used to it,thats why 2016 looked so effortless,everyone knows their role,at that point its routine and steph can start doing stuff outside his his usual zone,2018/19 he figured out how to not entirely rely on kd,but be more deadly with kd integrated,thats why he took more shots in the end compared to the 2 years before,now its time again,as soon as the team is played in and if the same core pieces are logged in to come back,its over,last season was the "getting used to it season" after the figuring out,now its polishing and refining with steph as focal point and im not even counting klay ,wiggins getting better or the insane amount of talent with the young talent
@@mrkickinthesky right on.😎👍😂
I think the only way they don’t win it is if they meet Giannis in the finals, they literally have no answer for him. The MVP situation I doubt because the Warriors have figured out they rather have him sit out the last 2 weeks to be fresh for the playoffs
@@jermainedevries5536 you should go look at Wiseman highlights, I think him and looney will do fine.💯😎👍
Been a Laker fan die hard for 25+. I'm a Jordan guy, a Kobe guy. I'm east coast, and I watch probably more Warriors games than Laker games because of him. I hoop, and Steph is a guy close to my size and to be DOMINATING in the NBA to this degree, for this long, at this size is beyond incredible. He's my favorite player to watch, and easily top 10 right now. I Hope we get 5 or 6 more years of high level Steph.
Amen!
I couldn't agree more.
Nigga he’s top 6 all
Time of u don’t understand that ur a damn casual period
@@thesinfultruth7697 why such hostility my brother?
I've been a warrior fan since the late 70s which means I've hated the Lakers for just as long, but I've always appreciated great basketball...I have Steph around 10-12...I just can't ignore the defensive side of the ball. Although he sure became a decent defender lately.
I’ve said in multiple channels. Under 6’5” Undisputed GOAT. Everyone else in the GOAT convo is 6’6” and up. Steph is top 10 all time for sure.
The off Ball movement is still the most underrated part of his game overall and also what Jeff van gundy also is an underated screener.🏀😁
Best player and most likable guy we’ve had in the league since Kobe. Giannis is a real one also.
Kobe? Likable?
Exactly people hated Kobe fr fr
@@officialyoungmarri6241 no. Media hated Kobe. People loved Kobe.
@@beastmry media hated him that’s it
In regards to the NBA right now, Steph Curry is the true "Must-See"... At this moment, there is no one else close. Steph, in regards to watching/loving the game, is MJ of this era.
Steph is the under 6'6" GOAT. No one is greater below that height.
11:44 when James said u can't slow me down .. journals were laughing ..but james showed "u guys don't understand face" 💯
🏀🎉🎊🥳🎈Everytime I watch Steph Curry play I THANK GOD to be alive in this timeline to witness Steph doing his thing on the court 🎈🥳🎊🎉🏀👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Kobe’s Take on Steph was the closest your going to get to describe what Steph is and how deadly he can be.
“How deadly calm he is”
Kobe’s comments were the best, he knew what it took to be “that guy”…
As a Warriors fan...we are fortunate to have to this phenomenal player playing for us. Obviously ... he is "one of a kind." Never to be repeated again!
After all this time i like LeBron's comment on Steph as the overall best! 'How do you stop him? Same as me, you can't!'
4-2 > 4-6 :)
i remember watching steph for one whole gane for the first time . i never seen anyone like him the way he shoot the ball from fastbreak idk what its called hes open to drive and lay up but he stops on 3 and make it , his confidence is on another level .
This is the new age pg. He continues to change the game. It's unbelievable
I've binge watched hours Steph on UA-cam he is so unreal, staring to think he's same level as MJ.
Went against the best defensive team in the League, and was defended by the defensive player of the year too. And STILL.....put on a show in the Finals. And he's only 6-3 tall conpared to those Giants, Come on bro . That's Jordan Level
Yeah I don't think anyone can deny it atp
YEs this really sums it up
My opinion a GOAT 🐐 is one who changes a landscape. Look at the game in your local gym now everyone shooting threes. At one point everyone wanted to be like Mike. 🤷🏾♂️
I think the most unguardable traits of his shooting is his fast release and the same accuracy us he takes his time shooting the ball
There's just one more thing Steph wants in his career: an Olympic gold medal. Curry 2024!
“You’ll get used to it”🤣🤣🤣
Remember Patrick Beverlyn said when he guarding Steph Curry he make sure he's well rest.
“You’ll get use to it.”😂😂
He's a game changer and he has the whole package it's like he's playing chess and practically every one else has to play checkers so he got u
Steph became unstoppable after he hit the weight room. U press up on him, he’ll dance on u and drive. U give him space, he’ll pull up from the parking lot. Mans got it all. Greatest 6’5 or under player of all time.
Steph is 6'1, and he has put many on his highlight reels. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
How can you not put him in the top 10? Especially, being a Guard! No disrespect to Allen Iverson, Isaiah Thomas, Kyrie Irving, Earl Monroe, Walt Frazier, Steve Nash, Chris Paul, guards of that caliber. Plus he has changed the whole game plan of Basketball! Reggie Miller, Ray Allen, and even his DAD, which were 3 point shooters, acknowledge him. He’s not done! Steph Curry, has at least 3 or 4 years left barring injuries. Give this man, his due!
Here`s something people forget about Steph that truly sets him apart from other shooters and is something that will never be seen again, except by maybe him. Even though it was practice, making 105 3-pointers in a row on camera. smh
2022 Steph bulked up ⬆️ what a beast 🔥 Warriors 🫡 all the way. Let’s go 2023
Steph the only player in history that can pull up from anywhere on the court and everybody in the arena thinks its going in
as far as i’m concerned Wardell Stephen Curry is the best professional basketball of all time, past, present, and future
. . . full stop.
You have to pick up Steph as he steps out of bed.
Once he gets in the arena it’s already to late. His mere presence in the Arena opens up lanes for teammates before the game even starts.
Understand that even though the GSW are a vertically challenged team. The Steph effect allows them to lead the NBA in layups 🤯
No offenses gotta game plan for a guy more then have to for curry. 6’3 dominating the league, not with athleticism but with pure talent. That’s what really make it crazy, cuz imagine if he was a few inches taller with bounce, that’s just flat out unfair for the league.
$TEPH REALLY BE DOING $OME OTHER WORLDLY THING$ ON THE 🏀 COURT.. WARRIOR 🤴🏽
He’s fun to watch he’s just amazing and belongs in the hall of fame like yesterday
He makes everyone he plays with better, makes them feel important, and brings them to the joy of the team game he just has that personality and competitive nature that raises the whole team and unites them.
And when the lights are the brightest he shows up and shows out. His end game clutch numbers idk if they are good but his 2nd halfs of big games I guarantee he is the best. When the pressure is on he gets better.
He is willing to give it up early and often and let everyone touch it.
He gets guys layups and dunks without touching the ball!!
His ball handling is best In nba next to Kyrie, his shooting is the best all time, his footwork is top 5 ever, his passing is crazy, he is an amazing screener to get others Layups, he is a great cutter, he cheers on his teammates and makes them laugh and have fun. It’s contagious his personality because he isn’t trying to act hard and gangsta or make others jealous of his luxury clothes or diamonds, sure he likes all that but he has that personality of true confidence where he doesn’t need to make others feel less than him and he wants to be the best and show people but he also wants everyone to be happy and being their best.
He is one of the greatest finishers around the rim ever, floaters, both hands, mid range😂 the list goes on.
I mean Marcus smart and the supposed best defense and more talented team didn’t bother him at all and the one game they did he made his teammates better and was just as happy they stepped up while also wanting to play better next game.
The only person I can compare Steph to is the rapper Harry Mack, and if you don’t know who he is then you’re missing out he is the absolute most talented rapper ever and he freestyles songs that are better than all the popular songs in the rap world. They have the same energy.
I'm from the Bay so call me biased but I would have him be at least 6 of all time with how he has changed the game to go along with 4 Ships as well! He will definitely be my 6th man when it comes to the all time greats!
I can agree with that when it’s all said and done for sure
11:47 the littest thing I’ve heard Bron say 😂😂😂
I'm with Shaq he's just something we never seen just truly incredible closet thing to Jordan as far as must see TV great guy too!!!
What I don't think most fans realize is just how much Steph Curry has changed the game at the school yard level. How? With Lebron for example, a kid watching sees this 6'9", 250lb behemoth they could never become because they will never be that tall and big. Giannis as another example, has physical attributes way beyond the reach of most players due to size and strength. But what Steph Curry has shown every kid with a dream of playing elite basketball is that regardless of size, with enough hard work a small player can achieve greatness. For this reason he is a top 5 all time player. His impact on the way young players view the game today is unprecedented.
If Curry wins one more ring, with a finals M.V.P, we all would have to say, that he is a top 3 player of all times!!! Hands down!!!! He is only 34, an already has the 3 point record, with at least 6 more years, because on his body conditions, and the way he shoot the long ball like a lay-up, he will end his career, top 3 in points. He will end his career, top 2 or 3 of all time..... We will never see nothing like Curry,ever again!!!!!! He the 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐!!!!
I'm not sure he could ever truly be called top 2, frankly. I'm a huge fan of Steph's--GSW has been my team for 35 years, but I quit watching because of the terrible former owner, and only Steph made me start watching again. I'm not sure I'll be able to keep watching once he retires.
So I don't say this out of jealousy, dislike, or whatever. I just don't think he'll quite have the resume to surpass LeBron, and he won't have it to surpass Jordan. I think he'll end up recognized as the best PG of all time, and I think his absolute ceiling would be getting widely recognized as 3rd best of all time.
But to do that...? Damn. 2 more Finals wins and no more losses (especially if they threepeat!) 2 more FMVPs. 1 more MVP. 1 more scoring title. I think he's...mm...maybe 8th best all time right now. But damn, it's a steeeeep climb to get to #3.
That's just my $.02 of course. Regardless, he'll always be my #1 player, my favorite, the King of the Bay Area, in perpetuity.
What if he never got hurt and stuff shit would be crazy
Jordan Poole might be the next Steph
Missed too many games to get top 3 in points
A guard who is more than anything he does on the court, best part of his game he does not literally plays pointguard,. He's stroke might be affected when he facilitate much on playmaking and set plays! He's off balling, on a mismatch or switches he excels on that with his skills on dribbling, blow by defenders especially bigs! When he sees his matchup caught sleeping he just pull up from deep, lastly their system running perfectly, they and he mastered that them knows where he goes, spot up, corner, cut, drives, and faking defenders while he escapes on screens! He's one of a kind player, no doubt his on the discussion of Greats.. 🤗🤗👊👊
JRUE "He's an alien👽" 😅🤣😂
What amazes me is it takes almost the whole team to stop him and he still make the basket.
Stephen Curry is my favorite of all time he is my no 1.....
I got Steph at #4 all-time.
1. Michael Jordan
2. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
3. LeBron James
4. Stephen Curry
5. ‘Magic’ Irving Johnson
HM: Larry Bird, Tim Duncan, Wilt Chamberlain, etc.
Earvin "Magic" Johnson
Steph is the BEST player I've ever seen in my entire life!!!
I am so lucky this guy is on my team. I been a warrior fan forever live in sf and we are so blessed to have this legend
When Steph has the MJ and Kobe mentality whether it's a workout or practice or game the other team has a big problem.
When it is all said and done he will undoubtedly be #1
This was very good I love how you put all these clips together well done that's my Steph he's is my MVP I love his and spirit such a joy to Watch ❤🌷💯👍👏🏿
❤👏🏿
Love or hate him, one thing is undeniable. He's the bandwagon attraction king. Don't @ me with MJ, Kobe, or Lebron. Those guys don't make bb fans out of cricket fans. They're athletically gifted and draw admiration from NBA fans. Steph has a whole demographic all to himself because he's an "underdog" that has exceeded the elitists' stereotype. Common folk far outweigh the exclusive club, and this is the one place in the game they can associate and own the gatekeepers.
Nba player tell you Steph is the total package while media an hater say he just a shooter
He gets teammates more layups than anyone else and he can do it without the ball or with his screens. I like that they let every guy take turns bringing the ball up and each guy starts in different spots each time and it’s unpredictable and confusing for the defense. Steph said the offenses goal is to make the defense have to make as many decisions as possible and then take advantage of the mistakes then once the domino falls it’s over because they all love to pass
It's a great offensive philosophy. Decision-fatigue is a real thing, and as long as teams are trying to physically wear each other out, hell yeah you should try to wear them out psychologically as well.
Steph is the number one player of his generation. Stop comparing him to others players,you trying to make a player be as great as him he is so bless with his gift.
Bron was dead ass when he said you can’t slow me down! I love these dudes I swear bro, so much freakin confidence!
i lovethe start, his defense is so underrated and people still push old agendas and narratives
Currently I have him at 6 but if he wins more titles the top 5 is going to have a serious shake up can you imagine steph getting 6 titles omg 😱 this is going to be crazy 😜
All of this amazing comments from coaches and players who ACTUALLY played with him or against him but still SKIP couldn't consider him as a great player who actually doesn't played the game at all.
Yo seriously, the dude is literally un-guardable!
I remember this one time he freak'n made a shot from the arena toilet!
To this day I don't know HOW the ball made it through the bathroom doors, up the stairs, past security, and into a basket that, at that moment, was being height-adjusted.
Sheesh! Dude is definitely an alien. 👽
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Curry is a Bad Man he got skills.
He can take anyone off the dribble too his ball handling and footwork are top 3 in nba and then his all time shooting to go with it. Most guys don’t have both
His the true'TRIPLE THREAT!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
curry is simply the MJ of this era
Steph Curry , is unreal! The shape he’s in is mind boggling. It is stupid to trash talk this man, for he goes into embarrassment mode and whose ever guarding him I feel sorry for them!
A lot of people say he's not a point guard since he doesn't bring the ball most of the time. Well he can, but he's more of a threat when the ball is not with him and that's why everyone hats it.
his bbalL IQ is aLso underrated
The man is a big time top 10 period.
yooo this is freedawkins talking ? i love you bro ! ♥
Air Jordan will always be favourite player and the 🐐 , for years I had Kobe Bean as my second favourite but after this last championship run, I have Steph as my second favourite player all time.
His cardio & off the basketball play… makes him DIFFERENT 💯
Not only is Steph nearly impossible to cover, but he makes it harder to cover his teammates. That's leverage. It's almost like the Dubs are playing against four defenders instead of five on a lot of plays.
Steph is the most underrated nba player.
Steph is the greatest of all time.
True
What I hate is EVERYONE talks about his 3’s but, he goes inside and scores at will also…
There is no place for Steph in the current all time top 10. Steph is not just a point guard, he is not a forward or power forward, he is not a big man or a big man support. Steph Curry by his play has indicated that a new category be established for basketball and his role. Attack Point would be a good name for it, because that is what he is and what he does. His every action is designed to score against any opponent. On defense, he is constantly looking for opportunities to steal or strip the ball or challenge the shots of his opponents, and is in the paint for any lingering rebounds to be had. His long range shooting has 2 or 3 categories. 1. To pull out the defense and cause them so much trouble that they will set their entire game plan to stop him, 2. To score quickly, 3. To cause the opponents mental distress. Other members of his team follow his methods on both offense and defense. Hunting and searching for opportunities to score or to stop the opponent. Not to sound to silly, but Steph is like an Alpha Male in a pack and the rest of his team will follow him anywhere. He is constantly moving with or without the ball, and if you notice the rest of the team is to. They have become attuned to Steph's play and they hunt just like he does, they very seldom are found standing still for more than a few seconds. There is no classification for Steph in the current Top Ten Players of All Time. He is the Archetypal player possibly of the future.. The Attack Point
When he retires, he will be the GOAT. He does it all and he's only 6'3 or 4. Unlike Labron, KD, Shak and the rest of them, he wasn't gifted with height or bulk, and they still can't stop the baby face assassin.
The thing about it is ALL these current NBA players can do what Steph does… They just don’t want to train, practice and work that hard…
Oh he's definitely in my top five
I keep telling my kids to learn about Stephen Curry shooting skills, ball handles, moving, making play without the ball... But they wanna be Kyrie Irving, Iverson fancy dribbling and seating to wait someone pass the ball to them like LeBron James 🤔 🙄 😆
We are blessed to live to witness such perfection in a man.
Even before acquiring technical and mental skills, substantially all great athletes (in sports where cardio is a key component) are born with extraordinarily low heart rates. For those (majority) who are not born thusly, that's something that, while it can be improved with training, can only be done to a certain limited extent. The guys winning at the highest levels all were born with exceptionally low heart rates.
Also key is the body's ability to efficiently dissipate lactic acid build-up. These people - again, highly rare, and inherent - never feel the pain, burning, tightness that most people feel from lactic acid build-up. They can just keep going. Their muscles don't feel the pain from the build-up, don't tire nearly to the extent.
You take people who are winning Tour de Frances, ultra-marathons, triathlons, setting records for running a marathon daily for a given number of days, etc., these people all have these two characteristics.
I would be surprised if Steph isn't one of these people.
The best thing about the players is their being 'quotable'. The Black Mamba's comment is understandably the ultimate one that's why it is last.
Great one of this time
