I was watching a Warriors game with my dad last year and he got mad when Steph Curry didn't make shots while being double-teamed, he said "I've seen him make it over 3 or 4 people like its nothing there's no way he just missed over 2" I think this sums up just how good he is
The shooting isn't a stand alone gift. With the possible exception of Kyrie, Steph's ball handling is unprecedented and brilliant. Nor can you just talk about accuracy. Off ball movement, ability to synchronize with Draymond, lightening release - Curry's shooting is part of a huge array of talents.

“Everyone wanted to be like Mike, but he really didn’t change the way the game is played since no one could do the things that Mike could do.” G.O.A.T.
@@foreigncxsh1835 kobe copied Mike's game but he was no MJ. Put their accomplishments side by side. MJ won 5 league MVPs, 9 scoring titles. . . I repeat 9 scoring titles. 6 rings with 6 finals MVPs, a defense player of the year award. 9 first team all defense. MJ shot a very high percentage. I could keep going but you get the point. Kobe isn't anywhere close to MJ. They just looked similar in terms of style. lebron is closer to MJs overall accomplishments than kobe. Lebron has one scoring title, five defensive first teams, zero defensive player of the year, four regular season, and finals mvps. So realistically lebron isn't close either. Lol.
I agree that MJ is the GOAT, although MJ did actually change the game, he helped globalise the sport on a massive scale and as a result you see a lot more international players in the NBA than ever before. Also is the current 3 point era really making basketball better ?, not if it's killing off other aspects of the game like the mid-range or low post moves.
If you've ever had to guard someone who's hot as your primary defender or have gotten hot yourself before on a basketball court, you would understand. It is terrifying for a defender when you realize there is nothing you can do to stop this guy but to foul him and liberating as a scorer when you realize you're so hot all you need to do is see the rim and just toss it up and it will go in. Most times it takes a demonstration before both players get to that point, you have to prove it but with Steph he's been doing this for over a decade and everyone knows it. I bet guarding him gives people actual nightmares
That first shot is legendary. You need to see the full shot to do it justice. Ball still in the air. Everyone, players and fans, fixated on the ball. Only Steph looking away and pointing. That photo will become one of the iconic NBA photos.
Add that to the fact that he sets screens, the gravity he draws even when he has a bad night, and how he elevates his team, he really is a top 10 of all time and its disrespectful that he isn't an automatic for that discussion
@@GatterSzn Nahhh leave Magic in the past. Curry is clearly better in so many aspects it's incredible people still argue if Curry is better then Magic when he clearly is.
As a casual fan, it's mind-blowing to see how in a game that's about shooting the ball in a hoop a man can revolutionize the game by shooting the ball in a hoop really well. Takes a special talent to pull this off. True unicorn!
brother, I feel you. started watching the nba in around 2015 and watched a lot of gsw and steph, took me very long to understand that before him people weren't pulling from 3 like it was nothing- and banging them
With all the praises, accomplishments, records, MVP honors, etc.. He remains a down to earth, kind and a true human being. I've met him a couple of times when he lived in our neighborhood before moving across The Bay and, from my personal experience, he is a true role model for all aspiring young enthusiasts who are trying to advance their career in sports. His behavior off the court is as impressive as on the court!
@@Bodrumbum Cool. A friend lived a couple of doors down on the same exclusive road as him. It’s amazing the kind of life you can build being the best at something people care about.
Glad to see you’ve come around. I’ve been a fan of him ever since his rookie year and I saw him in the 3 point shooting contest. Crazy to see how far he’s come since then, I remember when he first signed that contract extension with the warriors, a lot of ppl were saying it was a bad decision on the warriors LMFAO
Evolution because Curry was the catalyst. In one of Jimmy's previous videos, he said that the NBA came across and anomaly, and that was Stephen Curry. Every single team and player in the NBA tries to copy the anomaly.
What makes Curry's achievement even more special is the fact, that he just didn't benefit from the way the game has changed, like all the young kids do. He is literally the one who created that change.
Yeah ok, but is the current 3 point era really making basketball better ?, not if it's killing off other aspects of the game like the mid-range or low post moves, more variety in scoring would be better. . Watching a 3 point contest as the main game is not basketball to me, pretty boring to watch
Great video and it’s not just his shot. It’s also his quickness, screen setting and movement without the ball. As a defender it has to be so difficult chasing him around 24/7 with that quick trigger that he has, it’s truly incredible
I don't want him to ever retire :( we will really miss out on one of the coolest most exciting players to ever watch. Let's not take it for granted. We are watching true greatness.
That last graph was absolutely insane. To even make it on there once in a career is exceptional. Too bad the graph is wrong and you need to update it because steph already has 2 more 9 3PM games lol
@@abhaymalla77 Bro that's MADNESS, 👁️👄👁️ 🙆🏼♂️ Imagine having 2 Unanimous MVP in your HOF resumé. Damn that's Outragious. That Dude is the Main Character
Always found it baffling how under-utilised the three pointer has been up until recent seasons. Common sense would dictate that they should be attempted far more than they have been historically. Curry is a genuine game changer who, more than anyone else, has had a big hand in transforming the way the game is played. Amazing, as are these videos.
Tbf the 3-pt was added in '79 in the NBA, and wasn't adopted by college basketball until '86. Most coaches during those times thought the 3-pt line was gimmicky and wasn't worth trying to make players who didn't normally shoot that far ever go for longer shots. New rules and mechanics can take a while to truly integrate into a game, especially in long-standing traditional sports where generally the game as a whole doesn't change too much after certain breakthroughs. You can really say that around Ray and Kobe's generation of players were the among the first to grow up with the 3-pt line being a constant part of the game so they learned the game around it. So naturally the more generations of players that come in with that rule being a constant, the more they learn that rule or mechanic with the game itself as a whole.
@@KagedStorm I was a fan in 1979 and I thought "as soon as someone shoots 33% or better, they should shoot the 3 every time." But no one did that until Steph.
It's simple math, most shooters had 30-40% from 3 but they could average up to 60-70% in midrange or 70%+ near the rim. Of course you would go for the safer shot almost 100% of the time.
I wouldn't say blessed. We saw what he could do with a weak Davidson. Probably should have been drafted higher. Probably could have done more with a better team but here was lucky in that the warriors were patient with him, especially through his early injury prone years
that wasn't always the case actually if you've followed his career. first he was court mates with monta ellis, who was also an undersized scoring combo guard and highest played player at the time. then later he had mark jackson as his coach, who played a more traditional, slower pick and roll offense. In those seasons he averaged 9-10 AST actually. I think having both benefitted his development as a complete player though. once they had steve kerr and started paying pace a space with draymond green and thompson, took the league by storm
Everybody who is great at anything had to have some breaks go their way. Read Malcolm Gladwell's book "Outliers" for some elegant yet simple commentary on this. Gladwell is a hoops fan and would doubtlessly include Curry if he wrote that book today.
if it hadn’t been for the Warriors record this man would’ve added his 3rd MVP last season , also can’t believe he was robbed of the FMVP in 2015, still unbelievably crazy, his trophy case would’ve been even more insane
There is far too much weight put on the teams record. The mvp is about 1 player, not 5-10 players. Steph not getting the mvp last year was the biggest robbery of all time
@Be you Everyone else is taken a difference maker but not the reason they won, you take Curry's offense and impact away and that series is an easy win for Cabs, cavaliers couldn't even defend the way they wanted due to Curry lol
Team record should be counted but only the games the player played.. Currys warriors record was insane dude took a team the was rated the worst since the ranking 76ers and made them a 38-25 team, Curry missing 9 games made the warrior's a 39-33 team that's what's insane
@@CWZimba Teaching is a really hard job with mediocre rewards. Obviously that depends a lot on location, but generally it's a lot of work for little gain.
I feel like it is important to mention Dirk's influence on this evolution as well. Before Steph could work his Magic, Dirk moved the 7 footers outside of the Post and established the archetype of the 3 point shooting big man. I feel like this development went hand in hand with the revolution Steph brought upon us, inflating the importance of the 3 point shot as part of the game.
@@redteddy135 of course compared to steph, he did not, but he still has made almost 2k career threes on a really good percentage. Thats a lot in my mind, he is in the top 20 all time with that number. Given the era he entered the league and had his prime in, i think u could argue that he shot a lot of 3's, considering his position.
“ I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.” - Andy Bernard Y’all gotta appreciate Stephs greatness rn, we’re living in the golden age of shooting. When youngsters in the future ask how an undersized PG changed the game with his shooting, you wanna be able to say “You just had to be there.” Don’t let this moment slip away.
@@Seriouslydave He's talking about his Dominance. The Man will go down as one of the Greats while being "Undersized Dominant" as per the Greats like LeBron, Shaq, Wilt, MJ etc. He's pretty Undersized for a Generic "Great"
@Ll L when genetics gives you height, you dunk, when he gives you a brain you pass, when you get accuracy, you use whatever you are given to your advantage.
No... sorry Klay is a different beast, the only reason they call him the second best is well... not the only reason, here are a couple of reasons: Klay is a world class defender, able to defend 1-5 if 7ft or under Klay is an accurate and intelligent shooter, meaning he takes shots mainly when hes open, and he sinks them because hes great at it. Klay can shoot pull ups or spot ups contested with defenders closing out or in his face... but he often doesnt have to Klay can do this because curry at all times ONball draws the attention (eyes) of 4 defenders, OFFball atleast 2 defenders and even draws double or triple teams actively defending him. Klay can do this because he has been teammates with 2 elite passers/playmakers for over 10 years Klay is also an inside scorer, not as crafty or quick as curry or kyrie and other smaller players, but a stronger slightly slower player that can finish with his vertical or shoot the 2 efficiently, pull up or fade.
steph literally changed the way the game is played. NO ONE was shooting from the three this often nor this far out. Players are now pulling up from places that would get you benched 10 years ago.
Greatest shooter no doubt. Just want to make the point that shooting is of course not the only skill that he excels at, he wouldn't be so great otherwise. Certainly not an average player. His ball handling, finishing and offball movement are absolutely elite. Add the shooting and all these skills work nicely together to make him a complete scoring threat from anywhere on the court. Only half of his points are actually from 3s. Not just a shooter.
His off ball movement wouldn’t be exactly a useful skill without his shooting, he isn’t exactly tall or athletic so cutting to the rim would only be occasionally useful, his 3 point shot makes his off ball movement elite, if it weren’t for his shoot it would only be a quirk or gimmick, because without his shooting he wouldn’t get as much defensive attention so him moving off ball wouldn’t exactly be a problem for the enemy team.
That first clip… literal goosebumps. An actual legend. No matter how many years it will take before his inevitable 3-point record will be broken, Stephen Curry will always be the absolute marksman amongst shooting. All respect to this man, he’s unbelievable
Steph makes insane shots just messing around in the middle of games. It’s beautiful and mind boggling. And it’s obvious that his play style is one of the few that allows for longevity in the game. By focusing on a skill based play style he has eschewed the downfalls that so many other dominant players encounter when they rely solely on their physicality.
People who say Curry isn’t the GOAT shooter are just trying to be different, there’s nothing you can say that would show he’s worse than anyone else ever
@@sowishful I suspect he wouldnt be what we know as curry with hand checking and more aggressive defense. No need to compare eras. Greatest shooter of his era, no doubt.
Dude i love your videos. I don’t think I’ve seen anybody make a video that has this kind of information presented in a way that literally never gets boring. you’re the steph of UA-cam 🐐
Its quiet sad that one day we'll be the old head that will tell the future generation how impressive Curry feat was in his era, compared to the "future era" where players will drop 15 3s with ease.
It's the same as the people that talk about how Wilt played plumbers and all the players nowadays have his athleticism. But that's why Wilt was great. He had athleticism of players from this era but played in the 60s-70s. I don't think people understand that.
Curry is the greatest showman to ever pick up a basketball. He’s the closest thing the nba will ever get to the globetrotters. Wilt might be a close second tho
Umm, you obviously didn't see Michael Jordan play. Regardless, Curry is absolutely sensational and this era's MJ. He will go down is a top 5 player of all time in my opinion.
Sometimes, as a giannis fan, sometimes I wonder, what if, what if he wasn't loyal, what if the bucks accepted the trade to allow steph into their organization. I would love to see a bucks vs warriors this year. It would be the greater finals series of all time. Giannis and curry would average 38 ppg.
I was just a couple years ahead of Steph. Being 6'3" and super athletic, even when I dominated in games against all bigger players, scouts just looked passed me because of my size. Steph changed that.
I’d say for ppl 0-18 ish, for sure. I use to work at schools with kids and whenever we’d talk basketball allllll the kids would say steph was better than lebron haha. He’s definitely more iconic with the younger generation
I think the most impressive thing for me about Curry isn't even his shooting which is obviously incredible. It's his off ball movement. The man is sprints around the court like he's playing tag with his shadow.
I might shed a tear when in 30 years the current generation basketball players put up Curry numbers regularly and we start saying things like "Steph was good for his time"
Us old heads will be like "Curry changed the way we view the 3-ball" and i bet there will be casual youngsters who say things like " Bruh Curry averages 5 3s a game he was alright"
It may be inevitable, but when that becomes common place you're not going to see entire teams try to stop one person. That's where you can always look back and say he's truly the GOAT, at shooting.
I read somewhere that when he is practicing his shooting he only counts the swishes, like if it goes in but hits the rim, it's counted as a miss. That's all i need to say.
At this point… my comments are less about the content and more about how mind blown I am that Jxmy just keeps dropping great videos!!!! Best NBA channel alive! Hands down! No comparison! If you ain’t subscribed then you ain’t a true hooper!
Ray Allen is my all time favourite player of all time, love the guy. Hurts to see his legacy take a big blow but in the best way possible. Forget the “if Allen was playing now” argument. It’s just so much fun being an NBA fan that you can’t be mad seeing greatness unfold.
While he may no longer be the best shooter of all time, Ray still hit the most important shot in NBA history against the Spurs... It will be a very long time before that ever changes.
I love curry man. When i first see the clip in the beginning of the video, i immediately started smiling and smiled most of the time throughout the video. He is great as a person as much as a basketball player. Such a legend
I am just happy that I had the chance to witness this man changing the game and winning championships in the process him and LeBron are the true goats of this Era of basketball
I find it amazing that it took us so long to understand/solve a simple expected value problem. It’s really mesmerizing in perspective! Let’s see what the future holds and how will the next change be like!
The best thing about curry is not his shooting it’s his confidence, he will pull up at half court in your face like it’s a free throw That’s what makes him the best shooter imo lol
@@hakaishingaming8079 you can’t master pulling up from half court idc what type of shooter your are That takes confidence, lillard shoot a half court buzzer beater in one of the best defenders in the game face while it’s being to close out a series And he done that multiple times you can’t master that
@@midcharles7989 how is your take on lillard shooting "a bad shot" from deep and making it most of the time effective in your case of implying that the shot isnt master-able
For me. He is the greatest point guard of all time. Achievement wise, Magic's first three season was driven by depth and system that he get used to and twitched a little to create the showtime Lakers. Curry on the other hand was part of the building process to have his dynasty. Still arguable but curry is a ring and FMVP away to be the GOAT PG
@@batssama hang on, so besides KD, who only played 3 yrs with Curry, who else is an all time great? Kareem was winning championships and MVP trophies long before Magic arrived, what had Klay and Draymond done before Curry? What would they accomplish without him?
I'm just an old grandma, so my take on Steph is a little different. To me, he looks like a young man who meets the world with equanimity. The amazing shooting success is IMO as much of a mental exercise as a physical one. And tip of the hat to JxmyHighroller for the great graphs that make it easier to for anyone to understand.
Steph's real unicorn skill is his competitiveness, and to make other players around him better. No NBA star can create a culture like this man. His teammates will follow his lead and love doing it.
@@zackrodriguez7519 The difference between MJ and Steph leadership wise was that MJ used fear and discipline while Steph used confidence and positive reinforcements. Both methods work but MJ’s can ONLY work if he was perceived as the best by his peers… which he actually was.
@@zackrodriguez7519 what has this got to do with Jordan. We're not talking about Steph being better than Jordan. But if you ask Scottie Pippen or Steve Kerr who Jordan punched in the face during a practice, I think he got into it with Tony Kukoc too, they probably don't see the comparisons you're trying to make. But ok.
@@jg10304 you just said that no one in the nba could build a culture like Stephen curry, when MJ literally did it better. Yeah, maybe if you asked those guys that in 1998 they wouldn't give you the best answer, but ask them nowadays and they'll tell you it was great and that Jordan was a great teammate.
@@deviantanomaly yeah and it won him 6 rings, which means that he was able to build a strong culture. This guy said that no one else could build a culture like Stephen curry, so am I supposed to just give him extra credit for having a nice guy image? We don't even know what he's like in person. Doesn't matter if you're nice or not, the point is to build a winning culture. Both men have done it, as well as other people (bill Russell and Tim Duncan most notably), so no, curry is not the only star to build a culture like that
I don't know why....but this was one of your bests Jimmy! Great breakdown. If 5th graders today are gearing up for arch play as the norm, NBA may end up having to add a 4 pt or a 5pt line.....or take away the arch completely and go back to bball roots.
Taking away the line would be stupid imho, would make the game less spaced and more clogged and slow the pace down. I know old heads probably love that shit, but I think the NBA is in a relatively good place right now. If you can make the threes make the team guard you if they do not that is the other team's issue.
that is the largest point... I wasn't able to Fly Like MJ, Or power over people like Shaq. Crossover with handles like A.I but SHOOT, we all can do this with Practice and dedication.
BRO you are a unicorn of UA-cam. People may enjoy your videos but it's once you start your own channel when you realize how talented you really are.

"no one could do things Mike could do" when he said that one name automatically came into my head, one man who got the closest to him EVER!! Kobe Bryant.
Kobe could only imitate him, and after that injury he lost his athleticism but gained better footwork and longevity remember MJ was drafted in 84 and retired in 98 but if you add all his years he played it was only played 14 NBA seasons (including the ones with the wizards) Kobe was able to play 20 straight season from 96 to 2016. A whole 6 more then Jordan....

Glad to see you’ve come around. I’ve been a fan of him ever since his rookie year and I saw him in the 3 point shooting contest.

Then a year later, he's having another mvp caliber season better than his unanimous mvp season. That man is a mad man.
14 big men this year averaging 40% or higher from 3 alone. I feel like that’s just the evolution of the game.
Evolution because Curry was the catalyst. In one of Jimmy's previous videos, he said that the NBA came across and anomaly, and that was Stephen Curry. Every single team and player in the NBA tries to copy the anomaly.
In 10 years people will be shooting 50% from 3 and if curry was not there to boost the 3 we would se someone shot 50% in 40 years
Duh why do you think it evolved like that? They couldn't stop him so they had to adjust
It's also harder to play defense now more than ever, which would help to cause an increase in shooting percentage across the board.
No one is attempting 13 three per game like Steph lol
Steph is honestly one of the most fascinating players I’ve ever seen. Going to be an extremely sad day when he retires
thank god we have atleast 4-5years to witness him.....gonna miss him when he does tho been my idol ever since like 2014-2015

He is literally the one who created that change.
“Young kids”💀
Yeah ok, but is the current 3 point era really making basketball better ?, not if it's killing off other aspects of the game like the mid-range or low post moves, more variety in scoring would be better. . Watching a 3 point contest as the main game is not basketball to me, pretty boring to watch
he invented 3 point shot in previous life
@@iggyblitz8739 3 is more than 2

Great video and it’s not just his shot. It’s also his quickness, screen setting and movement without the ball. As a defender it has to be so difficult chasing him around 24/7 with that quick trigger that he has, it’s truly incredible

@@abhaymalla77 Bro that's MADNESS, 👁️👄👁️ 🙆🏼♂️
Imagine having 2 Unanimous MVP in your HOF resumé. Damn that's Outragious. That Dude is the Main Character
Always found it baffling how under-utilised the three pointer has been up until recent seasons. Common sense would dictate that they should be attempted far more than they have been historically. Curry is a genuine game changer who, more than anyone else, has had a big hand in transforming the way the game is played. Amazing, as are these videos.
could say the same about going for it on 4th down in the NFL and arguably the 2 pt conversion iirc. Riskier as always but the net effect is powerful.
Tbf the 3-pt was added in '79 in the NBA, and wasn't adopted by college basketball until '86. Most coaches during those times thought the 3-pt line was gimmicky and wasn't worth trying to make players who didn't normally shoot that far ever go for longer shots. New rules and mechanics can take a while to truly integrate into a game, especially in long-standing traditional sports where generally the game as a whole doesn't change too much after certain breakthroughs. You can really say that around Ray and Kobe's generation of players were the among the first to grow up with the 3-pt line being a constant part of the game so they learned the game around it. So naturally the more generations of players that come in with that rule being a constant, the more they learn that rule or mechanic with the game itself as a whole.
@@KagedStorm I was a fan in 1979 and I thought "as soon as someone shoots 33% or better, they should shoot the 3 every time." But no one did that until Steph.
@@AndyZach yea cuz that's not how math works
It's simple math, most shooters had 30-40% from 3 but they could average up to 60-70% in midrange or 70%+ near the rim. Of course you would go for the safer shot almost 100% of the time.
He was blessed to be drafted in a great organization that gave him the best role players and a coach with a playbook that matches his playstyle.
I wouldn't say blessed. We saw what he could do with a weak Davidson. Probably should have been drafted higher. Probably could have done more with a better team but here was lucky in that the warriors were patient with him, especially through his early injury prone years
1st, the Warriors were NOT a great organization when steph was drafted. aside from that we believe team, the warriors weren’t relevant since run tmc
@@smartie971 crazy how steph made that org worth hundreds of millions after 2015
that wasn't always the case actually if you've followed his career. first he was court mates with monta ellis, who was also an undersized scoring combo guard and highest played player at the time. then later he had mark jackson as his coach, who played a more traditional, slower pick and roll offense. In those seasons he averaged 9-10 AST actually. I think having both benefitted his development as a complete player though. once they had steve kerr and started paying pace a space with draymond green and thompson, took the league by storm
Everybody who is great at anything had to have some breaks go their way. Read Malcolm Gladwell's book "Outliers" for some elegant yet simple commentary on this. Gladwell is a hoops fan and would doubtlessly include Curry if he wrote that book today.
Ima be here to support jimmy no matter what. I love when he uploads, so professional
if it hadn’t been for the Warriors record this man would’ve added his 3rd MVP last season , also can’t believe he was robbed of the FMVP in 2015, still unbelievably crazy, his trophy case would’ve been even more insane
There is far too much weight put on the teams record. The mvp is about 1 player, not 5-10 players. Steph not getting the mvp last year was the biggest robbery of all time
He was robbed in 2018 too
Finals MVP shouldn’t even matter that much. People only talk about it with him cus it’s literally the only thing he hasn’t won offensively
@Be you Everyone else is taken a difference maker but not the reason they won, you take Curry's offense and impact away and that series is an easy win for Cabs, cavaliers couldn't even defend the way they wanted due to Curry lol
Team record should be counted but only the games the player played.. Currys warriors record was insane dude took a team the was rated the worst since the ranking 76ers and made them a 38-25 team, Curry missing 9 games made the warrior's a 39-33 team that's what's insane
This man loves numbers and loves explaining them, and we love watching him : )

I feel like it is important to mention Dirk's influence on this evolution as well. Before Steph could work his Magic, Dirk moved the 7 footers outside of the Post and established the archetype of the 3 point shooting big man. I feel like this development went hand in hand with the revolution Steph brought upon us, inflating the importance of the 3 point shot as part of the game.
💯 Facts
dirk shot barely any threes tho...
@@redteddy135 of course compared to steph, he did not, but he still has made almost 2k career threes on a really good percentage. Thats a lot in my mind, he is in the top 20 all time with that number. Given the era he entered the league and had his prime in, i think u could argue that he shot a lot of 3's, considering his position.
Excellent point. Dirk was a definite milestone in the evolution of the modern game. And look how many guys use that one-legged fade now.

Y’all gotta appreciate Stephs greatness rn, we’re living in the golden age of shooting. When youngsters in the future ask how an undersized PG changed the game with his shooting, you wanna be able to say “You just had to be there.” Don’t let this moment slip away.
Yessir
Undersized? 6'3" is kinda tall for a pg
@@Seriouslydave He's talking about his Dominance. The Man will go down as one of the Greats while being "Undersized Dominant" as per the Greats like LeBron, Shaq, Wilt, MJ etc. He's pretty Undersized for a Generic "Great"
fr
@Ll L when genetics gives you height, you dunk, when he gives you a brain you pass, when you get accuracy, you use whatever you are given to your advantage.
And he mastered the off-ball movement too, that’s what makes him scarier than any shooter in the history
Fr if you watch him play he literally does not stand still for a single moment he has the craziest endurance I’ve ever seen
There are other guys who did this. Reggie Miller. Rip Hamilton. Neither was near as good a shooter as Steph Curry though.
yup he never stops moving thats why him and klay work so well with each other. klay is dangerous without dribbling with his catch and shoot
The debate is *Once healthy, will Klay prove that he is the 2nd best?*
If considering efficiency and vilume he already is, james harden is worse than steph and klay if you consider how efficient they all are
ONLY if he goes to another team......
No... sorry
Klay is a different beast, the only reason they call him the second best is well... not the only reason, here are a couple of reasons:
Klay is a world class defender, able to defend 1-5 if 7ft or under
Klay is an accurate and intelligent shooter, meaning he takes shots mainly when hes open, and he sinks them because hes great at it.
Klay can shoot pull ups or spot ups contested with defenders closing out or in his face... but he often doesnt have to
Klay can do this because curry at all times ONball draws the attention (eyes) of 4 defenders, OFFball atleast 2 defenders and even draws double or triple teams actively defending him.
Klay can do this because he has been teammates with 2 elite passers/playmakers for over 10 years
Klay is also an inside scorer, not as crafty or quick as curry or kyrie and other smaller players, but a stronger slightly slower player that can finish with his vertical or shoot the 2 efficiently, pull up or fade.
He already is
Seth curry is literally the second best 3 point shooter in the league
The part at the end when he says "The unicorn of all unicorns" gave me chill bro.
steph literally changed the way the game is played. NO ONE was shooting from the three this often nor this far out. Players are now pulling up from places that would get you benched 10 years ago.
indeed. its insanity haha
It's all magnets! I didnt see the players pulling up from 30 and making them in the Olympics this year.
Manuel Garcia 😂
another banger
What’s up Mike, didn’t know you were into basketball although you have basketball references in your vids
BAAAAAANG
if he wins the championship this season, this will be one of the most iconic pictures in the nba
Greatest shooter no doubt. Just want to make the point that shooting is of course not the only skill that he excels at, he wouldn't be so great otherwise. Certainly not an average player. His ball handling, finishing and offball movement are absolutely elite. Add the shooting and all these skills work nicely together to make him a complete scoring threat from anywhere on the court. Only half of his points are actually from 3s. Not just a shooter.
Exactly
His off ball movement wouldn’t be exactly a useful skill without his shooting, he isn’t exactly tall or athletic so cutting to the rim would only be occasionally useful, his 3 point shot makes his off ball movement elite, if it weren’t for his shoot it would only be a quirk or gimmick, because without his shooting he wouldn’t get as much defensive attention so him moving off ball wouldn’t exactly be a problem for the enemy team.
That first clip… literal goosebumps. An actual legend. No matter how many years it will take before his inevitable 3-point record will be broken, Stephen Curry will always be the absolute marksman amongst shooting. All respect to this man, he’s unbelievable
Steph makes insane shots just messing around in the middle of games. It’s beautiful and mind boggling. And it’s obvious that his play style is one of the few that allows for longevity in the game. By focusing on a skill based play style he has eschewed the downfalls that so many other dominant players encounter when they rely solely on their physicality.
People who say Curry isn’t the GOAT shooter are just trying to be different, there’s nothing you can say that would show he’s worse than anyone else ever
Oh you mean the ppl that say Klay is a better shooter lol
Everytime Dame have a good game they always compare him to Steph. Which is a bad comparison because Steph does that every game
exactly lol ppl put ray allen and reggie miller over him when reggie called him the goat and ray said reggie is the goat

It's the same as the people that talk about how Wilt played plumbers and all the players nowadays have his athleticism. But that's why Wilt was great. He had athleticism of players from this era but played in the 60s-70s. I don't think people understand that.

Doesn't matter if you're nice or not, the point is to build a winning culture. Both men have done it, as well as other people (bill Russell and Tim Duncan most notably), so no, curry is not the only star to build a culture like that
I don't know why....but this was one of your bests Jimmy! Great breakdown. If 5th graders today are gearing up for arch play as the norm, NBA may end up having to add a 4 pt or a 5pt line.....or take away the arch completely and go back to bball roots.
Taking away the line would be stupid imho, would make the game less spaced and more clogged and slow the pace down. I know old heads probably love that shit, but I think the NBA is in a relatively good place right now. If you can make the threes make the team guard you if they do not that is the other team's issue.
Dumbest comment I have seen in a while.

that is the largest point... I wasn't able to Fly Like MJ, Or power over people like Shaq. Crossover with handles like A.I but SHOOT, we all can do this with Practice and dedication.
BRO you are a unicorn of UA-cam. People may enjoy your videos but it's once you start your own channel when you realize how talented you really are. The voice (pause) the iq, the overlays, the pop ups, the charts, the b-roll, the ability to speak clearly and captivate the audience, I'm sure you have a high view duration, as well as the ability to make the end of a video seem to come out of nowhere because you we are so into whatever Jimmy was talking about. Man these are seemingly unmatched skills and I'd love to possess these qualities for my channel. Keep killing it cam!🐐🐐🐐 I couldn't help but show my wife the video like it's a highlight reel of you not even about step. Great video again.
Remember when people said steph couldn’t carry a team by himself lmfao 😂
Jimmy needs his own shown on ESPN asap I could listen to him talk all day
Yep

"no one could do things Mike could do" when he said that one name automatically came into my head, one man who got the closest to him EVER!! Kobe Bryant.
Kobe could only imitate him, and after that injury he lost his athleticism but gained better footwork and longevity remember MJ was drafted in 84 and retired in 98 but if you add all his years he played it was only played 14 NBA seasons (including the ones with the wizards) Kobe was able to play 20 straight season from 96 to 2016. A whole 6 more then Jordan....
Kobe copied Jordan game
Blown away again!! I truly can't wait until you drop videos.
Don't forget Steph also has the best handles and off the ball movement in the league. Kyrie might have slightly better handles, but he's not playing XD
😆😆
