Can’t believe they didn’t put his look away 3’s in there
Austin Brizendine ... well joseph vincent doesnt really put that many plays and highlights in. just slow mo, b roll, and clips of what people say about his game .... i feel like he should put more highlights and clips....kinda like the quick cut mixtapes .... but that’s just me.
not even a unanimous mvp mention lol
yeah. I'm waiting for that lit moment
i've waited for that sequence too lol

LeBron and Curry have both won 3 nba championships also curry was the only unanimous MVP ever in nba history
Lebron has 4 MVPs now
@@ruebenfalana6601 4 Finals MvPs you mean
@@w1ldn3tw0rk9 nah he has 4. Arguably should have 5 or 6
@@cameronreed5025 but he sold his bread against the mavs and got smoked back to back against the warriors
@@sharif2165 neither of the years I’d say he should’ve won MVP but thanks for the fun facts lmao. Going to 10 finals and losing to a super team twice is so embarrassing.🤥
To be honest, we all just wanted him to say:look at Curry man
So inspirational
Yeah but no a super simp like flight
He was D1 just not a major D1 basketball school
Yeah Davidson is not among the big names in D1 (North Carolina, Duke, Kansas). Damian Lillard was similar, he played for lesser known Weber State.
Davidson was the only D1 school to give him a scholarship offer
mid major
For sure the greatest shooter ever. He makes shots that seem impossible. But MJ is still the GOAT.
Rad J he definitely didnt
@Josh derpI too think that Jordan is the goat, but it terms of LeBrons finals it was not fair at all, he was going against a dynasty, it was basically impossible for him to win by himself, even Jordan needed some help. Basketball is a team sport and when it comes to winning championships you will see the best come out of teams, that's right teams, not just singular players. These teams will literally build strategies to destroy/beat 1 player if they are by themselves with no help. So unless you are so dominant that you can fill for an entire team I don't see anyone ever consistently winning a championship by themselves. LeBron is a beast, I personally always put him in my top 3 alongside Wilt.
Josh derp Use some context. He took a Cleveland team with unknown players and would’ve have inevitably been in the lottery to the finals at 23 in 07 and his meetings vs pre KD warriors were always him carrying without his two other counterparts due to injury. Jordan had a 90’s superteam with a guy that was a top 3 player in the league. When Jordan went to play baseball, that bulls team had great chance of winning the chip due to Scottie being the best player in the league and finishing top 3 in MVP voting. That’s literally like Bron having a prime Kawhi. How many times did Jordan get bounced out the first round before Scottie came around? Not to mention look at the era Russell played the in. Put Fred Vanvleet in the 50’s and 60’s and we’d be calling him a top 3 player of all time.
AceMcKnight imagine if lebron played vs the pistons he would weep and cry and never conquer them.
Michael E and Lebron is 3-6 he will never be looked at as better than MJ no matter what he does MJ 6-0 in the finals never lost and that 2011 finals he choked was the biggest choke of any hall of famer of all time no other top 10 player would of lost that finals get over it and when he retires no one is going to call him the goat just a great player
Steph has been to the finals 5 straight times. He has won 3. He lost last years finals to the Toronto raptors but mainly due to their team being injured that series. If the 2019 warriors were healthy they would have easily won against the raptors and they would have completed a three peat. One of the biggest criticisms on Stephen curry was that he was overshadowed by his teammate Kevin Durant who joined the team after the warriors lost the 2016 title. The 2019 playoffs however mostly had Kevin Durant injured and the warriors even went 4-0 in the Western conference finals without Kevin Durant and with Steph being clearly the best player. Steph is such a great team player that he deferred to Kevin Durant for most of their 3 years together but most warriors fans who really watched the games saw that Steph was the engine that made the warriors offense so dangerous and Kevin Durant was just the cherry on top.
The better team was always the better team .............
They beat 4 great teams to win the championship
Yeah, the Warriors' record when KD didn't play, but Steph did was 30-1, or something ridiculous like that. When KD played but Steph didn't the Warriors won only slightly more than 50% of those games. KD left because he wanted to be Steph Curry or at least be as loved as Curry is in the Bay Area. That wasn't going to happen with those repeated one and done contracts where he always had one foot out the door. What kind of teammate is that?
Harold Tan did you forget that they were down with their full lineup
said like a true fan. lets win the next season. #DUBNATION, STRENGTH IN NMBERS
Must watch highlights of Steph Curry "look away" shots. He shoots the ball, turns away before it goes into the basket. Other great highlights like his longest 3s, handles & crossovers, and when he scores over 20 points in a quarter.
Thanks for posting this one. I grew up in Oakland, Ca. 4 miles from where the Warriors played their games. I've been a Warrior fan since the mid 1980's when there wasn't much to cheer about for a long time. It was fun to watch this reaction vid. You should check out Larry Bird who played for the Boston Celtic in the 80's-90's, and of Jordan course if you hadn't yet. Stay healthy.
I've already seen so many of the videos hes reacted to but I love watching him react to these. It's so interesting to see what someone who isnt familiar with the game react and talk about what they think
Please do Giannis Antetokounmpo, he is a monster.
Allow me to rectify the spelling good sir, monster :)
Naaah
You can do a hour video on him traveling
The Greek Freak
@@BayAreaSon I bet you could do a video like that for everyone in the NBA nowadays
He can dunk but he barely can, he has a few, including an alley oop in the all star game but he does not dunk very often
No I'm Dirty Dan he’s only dunked 29 times in his career
Barely dunk? Steph does a 360 with ease, he’s just not an in game dunker in the NBA. You can find him easily doing eastbay and 360’s in scrimmages and exhibitions, it’s just a different atmosphere in an NBA arena.
Damn near same vert as westbrook @No I'm Dirty Dan
Nick Garrett That’s a straight up lie. Westbrook is one of the most explosive players in the NBA, constantly posterizing others. Curry is constantly missing dunks because he doesn’t jump high enough. Every now and then he can, but he isn’t as consistent, or explosive as Westbrook.
Michael E. Dude, during wide open fast breaks I’ve seen Curry miss dunks because he doesn’t jump high enough.
Still early in this video so I'm not sure if they're gonna mention it or not, but Steph Curry's father is one Dell Curry, who himself was an NBA player in the league, and was on the early Toronto Raptors team alongside Tracy McGrady and Vince Carter. The guy they show at 3:25 is Dell. So even though he wasn't in a big name D1 school, that's why celebrities and NBA players showed up to his games in college.
Steph is testament to the current era of NBA basketball. There are still slashers and high flyers, and there have always been pure shooters and sharp shooters. Steph Curry is a sniper. Full-on marksman. Just hearing about what he could do on the hardwood made me watch the GSW playoff run for ring #2. And Steph made me a believer. I've seen highlights of this guy shoot a 3, turn to his bench and start high fiving them before the ball goes in. Because he knows he's that good.
You're reaction to 5:35 says it all. Kiwi Kicker, I present to you, Steph Curry lol
its pretty amazing when i clicked on this video i thought id be frustrated by the lack of knowledge by this guy but for a non nba fan he knows so damn much and is very smart
Do Damian Lillard, hes worth doing just because of one shot...
RJ packs123 he has multiple shots just like that...🤦♂️
@@user-hz4sd1zi9l when you think of a great Damian Lillard shot you think of the okc shot

for older players, i just saw somebody do larry bird and it was awesome. him and magic johnson. the passing and shooting just insane

so great to see this videos from a fan of another sport, as a bball fan i feel like im seeing this videos for the first time myself hahaha, nba 2009 mix vibes.
Sub right here✋🏽
First video I've ever seen that didnt even have one dislike, that's dope. Love the reactions man
Honestly your channels the best ever man I hope you get to like 10 million subs In the next year
Great video again as always. To answer some of your questions at the end, Steph and Lebron each have 3 championships. Bill Russel on the Celtics has 11, the most in the NBA as Boston won 8 in a row during one period. I'd love to see you react to my favorite players, Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan, each multi time champions for my beloved San Antonio Spurs and HOF players. Cheers!
you can call him Wardell if Steph sounds weird that's his first name I believe Stephen is his middle name. Also thanks for uploading man!
GrantYT18 Don’t encourage that, no one calls him Wardell
@@michaele.918 but they can though
Yea he named after his dad
Middle name or second name?
You def should react to NCAA basketball march madness moments. Its college basketball where the top 64 basketball colleges in the U.S compete in a play-off scenario where players like Zion Williamson and other college stars shine, and pave the way for the next generation of the NBA.
Thanks for doing this. Steph is a beloved player in the league and is the greatest shooter the NBA has ever seen. He is also self-less, moves incredibly without the ball, and makes everyone around him so much better because he draws the defense out 30 feet from the rim, thus creating large gaps for his teammates to move and create great offensive opportunities. He is not known for his defense, though he is a willing defender, but his lack of size and foot speed put him at a disadvantage. Total class act, leader, family man, and very few plays in NBA history have ignited a crowd consistently like a barrage of Curry Threes. So many more plays than this video shows, but I am glad you at least got exposed to him.
Toronto Raptors won the championship. Love what you do kiwi kicker, hope your family is doing well and are staying safe!
Hey, enjoying your videos man. So cool to watch someone respect and relate to a sport they don’t really know. I’m a huge basketball fan and the videos that fire me up the most are highlight videos from specific performances by players in certain games. (Comeback games etc) some that come to mind are Klay Thompson 37 points in a quarter (yes in a quarter) , Tracy McGrady 13 points in 35 seconds ( yes you read that right), and Kobe Bryant 60 points in last game. Hope you get a chance to check those out and review them. Cheers from Canada .
KYRIE Irving Handles and finishes . Shaq for sure
you should really take a look at Allen Iverson, crazy career and a similar player to curry, but was a bit more physical and is the best ballhandler ever!
@Luke Coltrin agreed kyrie is the best all time. AI changed the game in the same way steph did is my only comparison, AI was the greatest ball handler until Kyrie came and I'm sure someone will come up in the next few decades and top steph too.
I’m taking kyries handles anyday
Yungin Yu changed the game the same as curry?? Hey luckily UA-cam has a comment Delete option bro😂
Kennedy Allen changed the game in different ways but they both did yes lol. If you disagree with that statement, tell me why. AI was the one of the people to inspire style in the league, his dribbling, accessories, off court fashion. Curry revolutionized the three point shot.
@@YunginYu Inspiring NBA players to incorporate style into their play is not equivalent to changing the *way* the game was played. Sure, people started adding some of Iverson's signature moves to their repertoire, but Curry actually fundamentally changed the way basketball is played. There's a reason why bigs like Dwight Howard fell off so hard after Curry came into the league. The composition of teams, the types of players drafted into the league, and coaching have all evolved as a result of Stephen Curry. Spacing has changed entirely, shot selection has evolved to virtually eliminate the midrange, and more and more teams are running motion offenses in lieu of iso-ball and classic pnr. This is true in all levels of basketball, not just the NBA. So no, Iverson did not change the game like Curry has, he just embellished it. And there's nothing wrong with that. I'm a big Iverson fan myself.
i think the craziest thing is that this video was from 3 years ago. I *would* say to react to a more recent video, but he was injured this season...
Did you watch UFC 249? The Gaethje vs Ferguson fight was awesome
Dude! I watch all your videos! You GOTTA SEE Matt Boling. He’s a kid in college track right now. Future fastest man on the planet!
Definitely react to Shaq. Vince Carter, Tracy McGrady, Allen Iverson, Derrick Rose, Kyrie Irving. There's a lot more
wooow im first never thought i would say that lock down hitting different
Talk with little mans nopec
I watched this and loved it... immediately thought hmm has he done jordan?
Yes you have! But I watched that video and I feel like you need to revisit him. Maybe break down the full video? Or, do The Last Dance if you can??
Either way, loved the video just as much as your nfl content (which is how i originally found you) keep it up!
That behind the back move ankle breaker at 8:15 wasn't just on any player. That was 10 time all star and former rookie of the year Chris Paul. Broke all of his ankles.
Greatest Shooter of all time . Watch his practice videos 98/100 3's daily
I agree with checking out Allen Iverson i think you would really enjoy that. I was wondering if you have done any MMA reactions as some of the UFC’s best fighters right now are from New Zealand and Australia such as former Rugby player Alexander Volkanovski, Isreal Adesanya and Dan Hooker.
I didn't follow his college days to see how he did, but at our school we saw him as the next best thing. His dad would always come to his games and we would talk with him in the lunch room before. He was a grade or 2 behind me but he was good to watch.
Now he's won 4. First finals MVP. He deserved it. Great video!
Perfect comparison with Messi 👌🏼 more basketball videos bro been here since the beginning
Thank You for posting this fantastic video... Dan Marino, the former Quarterback of the Miami Dolphins Football team, was known for having the quickest release of the football in the league at that time. Steph Curry has the fastest basketball release-time I've ever witnessed. He's able to focus and fire the ball sooo fast no defender can set to block the shot. ... Incredible! ... Thank You again for posting this video.
Yoooo please do Jason Williams AKA white Chocolate he was an amazing passer and made some crazy plays
9:20 There's a great article somewhere that talks about his release. Because he was so relatively short he had to create his own style of shooting to get the ball off in time to avoid blocks. So yeah, shooting from the hip, but practiced as hell.
You should watch nba fights compilation, some of the, are pretty good
You should do vince carter all time highlights
There's only a three year age difference between Lebron and Steph. Keep in mind though, that Lebron went straight from high school to the NBA. Steph played college basketball for three years before joining the NBA. So while they are only three years apart in age, Lebron had played six seasons in the NBA by the time Steph was drafted.
People hate on him, but for newer players James Harden has some crazy highlights.
Do a reaction for Stephen curry dunking.. by the way love your reaction videos man keep up the good work
React to TJ Watt OLB for the Steelers. He almost won DPOY last year. He's a beast!
I love these videos he knows enough so it's not frustrating to watch him get everything wrong but he has the perspective to appreciate the stuff most nba fans are used to like Westbrooks triple double or harden scoring 40
You should react to Dwyane Wade, he’s the 3rd greatest shooting guard ever with amazing dunks, passes, etc. very under appreciated
Larry Bird Ultimate Mixtape by the NBA is fire 🔥
Look at Curry man, so inspirational
As a baller myself,I can say Steph and alot of new age era Ballers are being taught the release of the ball a lil different then what I was taught from the late 80s and 90s streetball era I grew up in. You're always taught (in my era)to gather,set and release at the peak of your vert while releasing with the tips and no middle palm touching (while in motion IE coming off a pick). Now and days ,its not that hes shooting from the hip,the new way it is taught and used now is that while you're gathering, you're in motion to shoot or triple threat way faster mentally now and days because ballers are prone to more shooting in this time than to drive and meet contact, So in turn its taught while in the motion of gathering the ball for a shot,you pull up almost like a piston (instead of setiing, aligning and shooting at peak) and in one smooth motion pulling the ball up woth you while you're jumping and releasing at peak all in one smooth flow...hard to explain but some folks should know what I'm taking about. From eye sight,it looks like a slight pause in the air that's the difference in the 2 styles of shooting. This edge helps with faster release,maximum rotation and supposedly helps wiith more accuracy at higher rate of speed also giving more chance the defender not reaching it. A good example of my era shooting and the difference of this era and what I'm talking about : Look at Ray Allen's shot And look at Stephs Shot,both great but they're good examples of how the Now and is compared to the Then in shooting styles. 👍🏿
One of the most exciting players of my lifetime
The last dragon is from the 80s movie! You got the glow!
You should react to mma and ufc as well
Look at Curry man. So inspirational!
i remember this guy! The rugby guy!!
You should do taco fall or yao ming
Hey man, big fan of your reactions! Have you ever considered doing reactions to NFL mic’d up? I think they’re hilarious. If you can’t do a reaction video to it because of copyright issues you should still check it out for fun! Thank you again for the content man and I hope you’re staying safe and healthy with the family!
Kyrie Irving... You Gotta Do Uncle Drew!!!!
React to kyrie Irving handles
Imagine if Lebron and Curry were on a team, that would have made for one hell of a duo.
Better yet...Kobe & Curry....had their careers passed at a time when they're both pretty much just entering their *prime years* ...
yeah imagine two ball dominant point guards on the same team that both suck on the defensive end of the floor...
Deini M LeBron isn’t a PG and he’s a great defender tf you on
Pierre Aoun He is a PG tf are you on? 🤦🏻♂️ not a bronsexual but he came into the league based on his athleticism and playmaking skills, and he's literally playing PG on the Lakers right now.
Smite Default Voice Pack LeBron is probably the most flexible player in the league, but at his core, he is a 6 foot 9 inch beast of a forward. The only reason Lakers are playing him on PG is because he can fit any role, and he probably does it far better than any of their other players. If he was put on a team with Stephen fucking Curry, why tf would you play LeBron as PG. He is ball dominant though, that I’m not trying to deny.
5:40 That’s a True Shooter 💯💯💯💯 Best Shooter in the NBA
He's a sniper!
Steph was rhe son of Dell Curry, who won 6th man of the year for the Charlotte Hornets, he was not highly recruited but he still went to Davidson, an excellent academic school close to Charlotte where his dad played. He was so good his brother that played at a liberty university got an transfer opportunity at Duke a top tier NCAA program
Look at Curry man. I N S P I R A T I O N A L !
5:30 you missed one of the most iconic moments in this mans career
Who here after Curry just won another chip and got fmvp
Can you react to cam chancellor highlights
Gotta say Im kinda disappointed you haven't been reacting to the Last Dance Doc. You gotta make that ASAP!
Way too long and too many copyrights involved. Sorry. I am really enjoying it though!
He completely revolutionised the game like if you compare highschools from now to even like 10 years ago the amount kids shoot nowadays is ridiculous cuz they need it to succeed
Do Kawhi Leonard please :)
Could you react do Jason witten career highlights
Steph has been to the finals 6 times and won 4 of them
Most people release on the way down after the top of the jump. He’s special because he’s made releasing on the way up popular before the top of the jump.
just so u know he made 94 out of 100 three pointers in practice
Neymar Jr. is a huge Steph Curry fan (there are videos of them meeting & interviewing). Also Curry & Messi have done jersey swaps.
#respect
@kiwi kicker, do a reaction video to Jason Williams
Davidson is the only D1 college that gave a starting option. There was a nother school but only as a walk-on.
that was definitely ray, it was when he was interviewed about him and steph comparisons
Look at curry man, such an inspiration
React to Jason Tatum
You da man kiwi
I know you not a huge basketball fan but if you like what curry does, I think you would enjoy Jamal Crawford highlights and also check out Jason Williams. Just a suggestion, love your channel man!!!
After you react to Shaq, check out the video where Shaq tries to bully a rookie Yao Ming
Can you please do dwyane wade career highlight reaction video. You will not be disappointed.
The raptors won the last champion ship
Do gary payton "the glove" he was a really interesting player
Doesn't look like anyone has commented about your question, "did curry play D1 basketball in college?"
Yes he did. He played for Davidson which is a small D1 college. At the end of every college basketball season they have a 64 team, single elimination tournament (March Madness) to decide the champion of college basketball. Although its not the best 64 teams. A lot of the smaller schools, like davidson, earn their way into the tournament by winning their regular season. Davidson made it all the way to the elite 8, upsetting a few powerhouses along the way. This is when Curry became known to the public. I remember being in high school at the time and had a curry wallpaper on my cell phone lol.
That Messi comparison is spot on.
Basketball legends, you got a lot. Shaq, Kevin Durant, Dwayne Wade, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Hakeem, Wilt Chamberlain, Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Allen Iverson, Steve Nash, Pistol Pete... And that's just off the top of my head.
Watch more Joseph Vincent videos, they're all really well produced!
everything about his game is different. He has range that doesnt make sense, but his overlooked talent are those high layups that he puts over tall players.
You should do kyrie Irving he has the best ball handles in the nba
It's in the genes with Curry. His dad Dell was a sharpshooter in the NBA. Dell currently is one of the Charlotte Hornets' tv guys and one proud papa.
You should react to Giannis Antentokunmpo, he is the reigning MVP and will probably win it again this season
