How Did This Olympic Gold Impact Steph Curry's Legacy?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- This summer's 2024 Paris Olympics was an absolute story. The journey of the US Men's National Team was highly documented as they were looking to avenge Team USA's defeat against Germany last year in the FIBA Championship.
With names such as LeBron James, Steph Cury, Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Joel Embid, Jayson Tatum, Anythony Edwards, Bam Adebayo, Jrue Holiday, and others led by Steve Kerr - this was a big deal.
And it did not disappoint. The games against Serbia and France both will be remembered for the ages and what Steph did in both those games has to beg the question - now that we have seen what he can do around all the alphas in the world - where does he actually rank in All-Time list?

Id put him in my top 5. The way he clutches those important moments, if he was around during the dream team era he would still stand out as such an asset playing
wowww thats bold of you poke
Many others hates play against Stephen for years till they finally play with Stephen in Olympic and they gets what GSW players and fans had been feel like.
This man. You just cannot really HATE. He doesn’t taunting you haters. He taunts the people that doubt him for years. He was told he wasn’t good enough. He was told that he’s not tall enough. He was told many things about bad things to him. He just never gave up. Same time. He’s showing young kids who’s dream to be nba players and you CAN. He never let them say stephen CAN’T. Now kids learn from Stephen. Thats what my dad taught me. Im deaf and my dad always say don’t let them say you can’t. You CAN. Thats how i see it about stephen curry. And best part? Im born in bay area and he’s playing on my favorite team. To me. He is legend period.
i've always been a Lakers fan as half my family is from Cali so I've never been anti-Warriors but i will say he's in my opinion the most entertaining athlete maybe ever.
im glad you got to experience all those amazing years! hopefully he's got a few more up his sleeve!
thank u for taking the time to watch this and comment - ur awesome. :)
@@tophersthoughtsI admit im anti-lakers lol.. you understand about norcal and socal thing. But seriously. Nothing disrespects. Im all about enjoying the energy of good games.
I feel like haters just didn’t see the WHOLE picture of him. I guess they didn’t even experience of the doubtfulness. I would explain to some of the people and they would go ah… anyway. Good video! 👍
Clutch factor? Value to teammates, inspiration to fans, relate-ability. Steph = GOATLY!
@@33grise33 yesssssir 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
curry is not clutch only that one team usa game
Everything that has been said about S. Curry's performance in the Olympic final against France is true. Still, for us, his feat in the last 4 minutes is so unique in sport and has never been produced by any other athlete, it is pure heroism, and the height of courage and audacity deserves a separate trophy other than that of the best shooter or best player of all time, MVP, etc.... Probably the most courageous and combative athlete Basketball has ever seen.
this is such a cool description bc sometimes its lost on people how "heroism" is a part of this whole game, but when it becomes national pride it's another level.
great insight and thank u for watching the video! you are awesome.
:)
Wow, “you remember people on how they make you feel, not on what they did…”. Very wise.
Listen, Steph came into the league looking like he was 12yrs. Old. Little, short, and cute as a button !😂 He has mastered his game like none other. The level he got to many years ago, silicify who he is today. The greatest player that GOD created! Ya'll says what he can not do but never entertain what others can not do like Steph.(and to be honest, I am sick and tired of it!) Steph ‘s character speaks volumes against any other player. He has it all. Yes, great father, husband, son, and brother and he shows special dedication to his fans and community. He’s humble, blessed, and genuine. Steph Curry is the Greatest of All Time and no one can ever say, I’m wrong! Gg❤
this is such an awesome comment!! you make such a great point about how he's a model citizen and athlete and it does get overlooked how good of a person he is and the way he carries himself.
i don't think i have ever been bored watching him nor have i ever had issue with anything he's done. he's really is that dude.
thank u for taking the time to watch the video - ur awesome! :)
for me curry is the greatest of all time i was saying he was the greatest player of all time even before he on rings its just the shooting its so good and beautiful to watch once steph curry catches fire there is no stopping him you know whats coming tet its not enough
It's over, there's nothing more to argue about. The whole world is a witness, there's nothing more for Curry to prove. Everyone bears witness to the greatness and legacy of the one who revolutionized the game of basketball. No matter the criticisms and hate from many in basketball history, it can never be erased that Curry was once underestimated by all of us before he claimed the championship and the gold medal in the Olympics.
right??? he really is that dude!!!!! i appreciate the comment fam.
hopefully we can see him scoop another chip before its over as well!
@@tophersthoughts yeah !
Articulate, thoughtful, measured precise analysis - refreshing!
@@33grise33 wow that actually was such a great compliment thank you!! Who’s ur all time favorite ball player?
Steph’s 6’3 compared to all of them 😂 He changed the game, changed how offense & defense, he is the GOAT shooter, his appearance is relatable, he is a leader off&on the court, the only unanimous MVP, defeated LeBron in multiple championships, Steph gravity and impact on the court, he’s selflessness, he’s sportsmanship and a performer, all the clutch moments and ridiculous shots.
Bro should be in his own category 😂😂
To me, this topic is the same as 'bueaty is in the eye of the beholder'. In other words, we all see these players differently. Some look at the stats, some look at how many hardware did they achieve, and some look at how they impact the sports in terms of popularity. Therefore, that's why we all disagree on the top ten players of all times.
very well said fam!!! appreciate you :)
Perfect: a top list is always wrong, and a favorite list is always right
ps: the best is Jason Williams and he is my whole favorite list :P
You're spot on man. I view him as #5 all time. And I agree that 1) MJ, 2) LeBron, 3) Kareem, & 4) Kobe are the only ones ahead of him - in that order.
i appreciate you and you taking the time to watch!
i won't argue that list at all hahaha
have a great week and thank you again for the support :)
i just want to say that shaq himself stated that he believes curry is in front of him in the top 10
andddd im gonna go find that! i appreciate you!!
thank u for watching the video fr! :)
They didn't want the games on their backs, so if they 3:04 lose…… but😢Stephlet them know, HE IS HIM!! Gg❤MVP
hahaha yessssss!!
he put in work so USA could earn that 🥇
him & those beautiful eyes no joke hahaha
Steph is no doubt the greatest shooter of all time no question, but I don’t know that I would quite put him in the goat debate yet, he’s definitely top 10 but top 5 is a squeeze and I don’t think he has done enough all around to pass them up though he brought his A game for us in the Olympics last few games. Great video bro!
i'd have to agree brother! that top 5 is pretty hard to crack at this point, only way i think he gets in there is another TWO chips. love u joe!!!
@@tophersthoughtsnah one would be enough if he has a big impact and at his age, plus if he plays well for another few more years he’d be in there. I already have him equal to Kobe purely for efficiency as Kobe’s 3 point shooting is 33% which is worse than even lebrons .
1 and 2 is MJ and Lebron
3 and 4 is Kareem and Steph
5 is a crazy toss up between Magic, Russell, Kobe, or Bird
I have Steph top 5
1. MJ
2. LeBron
3-5 is a toss up for me between Steph Kobe and Kareem
If Steph can play a well as he has for the next 3-4 years and get 1 more championship I’d put him at 3
Steph is My GOAT
For people my age it was always about how he'd do against more physical basketball. This Olympics did it for me. I didn't even have him top 30, but he showed me he can play through it. My son showed me some plays where Curry is off the ball and some clips of Reggie Miller, Mark Price, and Run TMC, and I never realized Curry was playing through physicality the whole time. The guys that have the ball these days dont have to worry about handchecking or even being looked at cause they'll get a foul call. But off the ball the guys are holding him like Mike and Reggie used to hold each other to stop the other from getting the ball. I never realized how much we focus on the guy with the ball, and I feel bad for always saying Ray Allen was a shell of himself because he was always shooting after his injuries. But I need to give credit to my son since I wouldn't have realized all this, and I hope he follows through with his film breakdowns and becomes a good coach one day. And also credit to Stephen Curry, because if he doesn't perform like that, I don't pay attention to what my son is saying about all this stuff.
So now Curry is all the way up in my top 10!
The GOAT
Stephen is the best 🏅🥇🏀🙌👆👊🤛✌👏👏👏👏
I am too young to have watched Kareem and Magic but I was around and old enough to remember very clearly the era of MJ even if I was young. The impact he had on the game, the culture and the aura he had make him impossible to ever not be the GOAT....especially for kids from my generation who were at an age of wonder when he was re-writing what it meant to be great.
I think the only other 2 players to ever come close to creating that same sort of wonder in the game of basketball are Kobe and Steph. I think LeBron is the second greatest player to date but I don't think he created the same sense of wonder that those other 3 did and I would argue that Steph is actually the only one who has managed to get anywhere near what Jordan did.
Whatever that means for his standing in the top 10 players list for you I think that cements him into the history of basketball and this performance in the Olympics is EXACTLY that sort of thing. When you say "you remember how they made you feel" I think this Olympics performance actually put Steph into the Top 2 for that category for me in front of Kobe. For me personally this is the most important list for legacy because it doesn't depend on position, history, competition or anything else that can greatly skew the results.
None of us will ever forget this
Well done video..details accurately..I concur I have Kobe 1or 2....and he's better the Labron ..skill and less all star teammates
This doesn’t mean anything!!!! he’s a HOF without this.
Perfect
Respect this bro.
That’s Olympic MVP belongs unanimously to Steph Curry
A legacy won’t be cemented until the career is over but a prediction on how it will be set is fair game
LEbron and durant sucks without curry,They ride currrys incredible talent
how did bron get 4 chips then fam? lol
Easy there bud
@@tophersthoughtsstacked super team. He also lost 6 times in the finals. The worst years was 2011, 2014, and 2018. Curry team was pretty much drafted. The only top 75 player he played was KD. He won 2 without KD. On top of that regardless of how u put it he beat LeBron 3 times to lebron 1 in the finals. Then carried the usa team this year. But I think because of LBJ name we over look his failures during the finals
2:48 it's official. Nick wrong hates Basketball.
hahahaha i think he just is the next in line to carry the skip bayless colin cowherd troll narrative while sometimes saying something right so they don't always seem crazy. appreciate the comment! :)
It impacted more than just Steph’s legacy lol

Why are we all affected by the top 5? Lol. Just enjoy hoops.
I dislike these G.O.A.T. conversations. These players you describe all have different roles on their teams. Steph, at 6'2" (no, he's NOT 6'3") isn't going to be a rebounder and he's not a great defender. However, no sane person will deny that he's the greatest shooter ever ... EVER. Steph also caused coaches to rethink defenses to guard the perimeter. His level of fitness is all world. I don't know if you'd put Steph as the GOAT or in 5th place. It's irrelevant. Steph is a first ballot Hall of Famer. No one would dispute this.
brooo i love this comment!! i actually have a video exactly on this GOAT conversation. check it out for real, you have such a good point! :)
appreciate you
Kobe does not have better offense, Steph eclipse him so badly in that regard, it's actually disrespectful to regard any player's offense as being in the same stratosphere as Curry with regard to offense.
No other player in the top 20 is as much a threat on or off the ball, none of them are as great three level scorers or even have half as good of a handle, I haven't even spoken about the playmaking, the FTs or even the efficiency 🤣, I'm not saying Curry is the GOAT, but I don't think anyone can argue for 4 players being better all time...
With that being said, great video definitely getting a like for me 👌🏾
bro curry cant nail a clutch shot..besides team usa naaaaaaa naaaa one trick pony
@@hailemhailem1320 he literally won clutch player of the season 🤷🏾♂️, even before then he had a higher efficiency in the clutch then both Kobe and MJ, where did this stupid myth come from and why were yoll dumb enough to believe it!?
@@Brantley_ZA 0-14 clutch moments your boy needed durant to shoot over lebron onyl clutch moment curry has is in olympics
@@hailemhailem1320 if you really believe that then it's very likely that you have very few neurons and they don't have any strong connections... Which is kool, but personally I would be worried.
Curry is the second best player of all time after MJ. Lebron is just stat padding his longevity don't mean nothing.
we'll see how far Steph Curry goes as well! his style and size, could be lethal for another 5 years. appreciate ur comment fam :)
what? hahahahahaha LeBron was voted as mvp of the tournament ,he was even voted by his own teammate to be the best player , curry's teammates was literally telling him he showed up 3 days ago ,curry perfomance in the semi and finals was epic for sure but saying that lebron is statpadding like he wasn't the best and most consistent player the team is crazy
This take is just crazy
I personally have Curry as my GOAT but doing LBJ that dirty is just atrocious
This Jordan meme is just for u
"Stop It, Get Some HELP"
This is just funny😂
@@user-tc1kx5cw8nI get exactly where you’re coming from but curry was supposed to be an off ball defense splitter not a point scorer. It was only after we were down against Serbia did the team start feeding him the ball.
Doesn’t that saying more about James and Duran then curry?
whatcha mean fam? which part?
How can leprimadonna james be better than curry when curry is 3-1 against her in the finals should've been 4-0 if not for ufc draymonds suspension
Liked the vid, subscribed and so on. Good stuff.
I just want you to be fully aware that you said "Kobe had clearly the better offense" than Steph. The player that get s into top 5 ever conversations mostly without strong defense, and you claim kobe's offense is clearly better. Tha claim's insane, the condescency in the phrasing takes away any chance of it being taken seriously.
No man, Kobe does not have it, and if so, it would clearly not be "clearly". Maybe for you field goal % is make up?!
That claim about playing with the greatest coach about Tim related with Phi/kobe, eh...
6:50 Kobe played with the 9th on this list --> Curry alone
Lol..Kobe is 6 to 10....lbj mj Kareem magic Tim .....then yiu can start to talk about kobe wilt and shaq....then you have bird curry kd hakeem
i feel you brother - i just think if Jordan is so far ahead of the competition and Kobe is the closest image of him who played in the 2000's when the league had historically low scoring compared to other eras I feel he gets overlooked, especially when ppl bring up Shaq.
you got a good list there tho my dude, i won't argue with you! we all got different view points & i appreciate you! :)
Tim had less help then curry Kobe, Mj
Time had and old David that was a getting 8 points per game his second ring and his last ring he had a third year Kawhi Leonard and he still averaging more points than him
mmm he did have duncan for a lil while and he also have decent talent that was spread out across but not as big as talent like kobe a shaq. shaq himself stated that curry is infront of him on in the top 10 players
@@imwithyou38 Tim is infeont of shaq and Steph in all time list I'm saying he almost went 6-0 in the finals with less help then them Steph has KD KLAY AND GREEN and Kobe had shaq pual Nash Howard
@@lorenzomayfield6275 i never said he wasnt.....i was just womenting on how the toalent pools were. duncans had deeper teams and steph had a lot more starting line up teams. i have no problem with anyone thinking time over steph because different people are going to value different things. i greatly respect tim duncan i remember getting ncaa with tim on the cover
lol curry had a super team with durant.😅 him and lebron lost ratings from real ones..curry is 1 for 22 on go ahead buckets in the clutch hahahahaahah...finaly got one team usa...
FIRST!!!
steph curry is actually really good. and hes short haha which is so cool bc i was told i couldnt play in high school bc i was too short
hahaha i appreciate you so much merky!!!!!
