I agree, 90's kid here grew up by Chicago. Also Jordan was 38 when he was on the wizards, so what LeBron is doing isn't that wild, he's the same age. Especially since those two get compared all the time, and with the field of sports medicine constantly improving, there should be more than just LeBron in their late 30's playing still.
@@JacobSnover I agree, there should be more players playing late in their careers due to the advancement of medicine, however what Bron is doing is still kinda insane. Considering all of the talent we have in the league today and still being debatably a top 5 player in the league is crazy for a guy nearing 40. Especially when showing no signs of slowing down.
@@JacobSnover not a Bron fan but how do you even compare MJ and Lebron at 38? MJ was washed up struggling to score much above 20 or hit much above 40% from FG. Lebron is basically having his best season yet. He avg 1 point more like 20 years ago but that was on 6+ minutes per game. He is also beating his career avgs from fg, assists, etc. As for sports medicine don't discount MJ starting to play ball late and taking numerous seasons off to rest, play golf and try baseball. Lebron been in NBA from 18 playing every year and deep into playoffs almost every season. The wear and tear Lebron put on his body is uncomparable to MJ, especially factoring Lebron had lug around an extra 50+ pounds. I was in Chicago during 90s as well, watched tons of the bulls games on WGN.
Regardless of whatever stat people might want to cherry pick, there is one undeniable stat that no one but Austin can change and that's his free-throw percentage. Imagine if he actually hit free-throws (62%?) how many of those games they could've won. The only person Austin needs to blame is himself.
It has been obvious for such a long time. There are so many haters on the Warriors because they are the BEST team of the last decade. However, when the refs get involved, it will taint the game. This behavior is just sad to see.
Refs already are involved and not just with the Warriors. Its started to get very noticeable and at some point the scandal will come alive again with 'fixed' outcomes.
@@markfahim4146 curry has caught a lot of flak even from youtubers making entire videos about him being a f*ckwad in his excessive celebrations? Are you one of those fan boys with a blind spot to or were you just unaware of it?
The warriors will be a 5-6 seed (hopefully a 4 seed) after the allstar game. Just gotta string wins together like Steph said after that huge grizzlies win
Hey Hoop Reports, you forgot one HUGE reason for the Steph hate: He doesn't wear Nike shoes. The Nike-owned NBA wants nothing more than to tear down the MVP Under Armor athlete. You could literally FEEL the reluctance of Adam Silver everytime he has to give Curry an award.
It’s very sad to watch the refs against the GSW, it makes me want to give up watching NBA. If this continues, I hope Kerr and the Warriors organization stand up for what is right. Even threathen to quit the league
Also, a very important element, if the warrior wins this year, that will be 5 chips for Curry (under amor) vs 4 for lebron (Nike). This will discredit the goat narrative

This video is bang on correct and I truly hope the NBA will stop doing this otherwise they should get ready for another revenge season, we set our own destiny - veen doing it for the past 8 years. Bring it on Refs!!! 😎
I was a 98 bulls fan my whole life and still and now I'm a fan of the warriors . We are fans that has high taste in the game. Taste can be different but we seek for the best.
Funny thing is Austin and Steph are basically family 😂 Seth Curry is married to Austin’s sister so that’s just awkward Anyway it’s funny that he said this when Warriors have been getting the least calls all season and Curry is averaging 30 with the least FTs out of every one else averaging 30
I love the point about how Steph changed the game and that's one of the sources of resentment. I think about guys like Kenneth Faried that had so much potential at first but couldn't find a good fit in the changing NBA landscape. I think the league should bring back more contact so people can understand that the 3pt spacing already counters a lot of the physical play since you can't hand check someone that is shooting a 3 anyway. With the level of athleticism in the game now and the sophistication of dribbling techniques, I think it'd be a fair balance to bring back more physical defense. It's more fun than Ja and JP getting called for questionable dribbling.
If Rivers actually watch gsw games its actually the opposite, cuz at least 60 percent of the time Steph gets fouled shooting 3s but he doesn't get that much foul call tbh
Speak them facts then... To truly understand Austin's hate, you have to remember that he once backed up Chris Paul in LA. And his lob City team and franchise was destroyed by Steph Curry. Then you have to remember he played in Houston when Steph destroyed that roster. As a matter of fact, was he on that Denver Nuggets roster the warriors blew up too??? Like, imagine being a sixth man on really good teams that keep getting blown up by one franchise...
Austin is just mad cuz Seth and Steph always sht on him at family dinners. Austin's daddy doesn't like him and he's jealous of the Curry's relationship with their dad. Both Seth and Steph have better careers than Austin and he is the in-law that feels unloved. He will be ok. lmao
he seems to forget how Steph and gsw lost the 2016 finals with loads of calls not being called for them or being missed. you could pick any of the last games in that series and see how 4-5 clear fouls were "missed", which could have changed any one of those games results. after that curry got less and less calls his way, refs seem to overcompensate when calling fouls for Steph just cause of all the narrative
Great video. Way to shed some light and truth on this persona of the Warriors being favored by the league. The Boston game is so rough to watch towards the end, really makes you think how rigged the NBA is.
@@Jonathan-mp3ju Then spend your whole life bitching then, there's nothing else you can do about it. I can't control what anyone thinks or says. But, I can control what I want to hear. I'm done with the lame ass excuses. I grew up with some tough times with the Warriors, from the Twin Towers, to the RUN TMC days, and sure it was always fun, but never satisfying because they would always lose, make bad draft picks and trades. And I remember some fans complaining about the Celts, Lakes, Pistons, Bulls, or Rockets, being favored, or rigged to win. So I understand why anyone would feel that way. But to say they won without trials and struggles, and that it was given to them??? Man, that's just disrespectful, and your team deserves to lose, and you go deeper and deeper into your conspiracy BS, until the point of not watching again. That's my point.
I mean, they missed 5 calls in 7 minutes (2 regulations, 5 OT). That means in regulation, if that trend stayed the same, they missed roughly 34 calls. That's a missed call every 1.4 minutes in 48 minutes (48 ÷ 1.4 = 34.3). Now I know that's not true, but even 20 missed calls in 48 minutes seems insanely high.
MJ is still the GOAT for me. but 96 bulls would be just another playoff team with today's NBA. If 90s basketball is much better way to play, then everyone would play like that. Now every team plays almost like the warriors because it is well known to be more effective, and efficient.
Definitely disagree suns made it to the finals a couple years ago and shot the most mid range shots but shot it any an insane percentage so it was more effective to play like that if you got the right coach and personal
Word! Shooting the 3 @ 40%=60% 2 point shot. How many teams ever shot 60% from 2? Imagine shooting a less accurate % 2 or 3 steps away behind the 3 line? That would equal more points. GSW figured out how to win games & are being punished for it. Those hating on the warriors for bringing in high volume 3s hate that they made the game more skilled. You don't get to dominate just by winning the gene pool as a giant or having freakish strength. You must master the skill of shooting. Look at Zion. He's the closest thing to Shaq though smaller but he's not exactly tearing it up. How about Bol Bol? In the 90s, they'd have been fire. The old heads hating are doing so cos many of them wouldn't survive today's NBA. You think Rodman or Wilt could live as wildly as they did & still dominate if they p;ayed today?
You kinda forgot about the rule changes and the disgusting amount of travels refs don't call nowadays which help players get into open 3's and layups. Rules and officiating are so different that today's NBA is not comparable to the 90's.
They literally disclose the last 2 minutes of every games ref errors (if it's within 3 points at any time during the 4th quarter ) and they had 5 calls wrong, all favoring the Celtics.
He change NBA, he's the reason why it is exciting to watch him everytime, and he's definitely the reason why I love basketball. I don't care what haters says. I'm gonna keep supporting. #GoWarriors.
@@julianrojas4792 I'm not 12 and plus it's your opinion if you like post up, mid range and defensive basketball then good for you I lime 3pointers so that's my opinion btw srry for calling you a hater I'm really sorry hope you have a wonderful day
Do they get away with illegal screens? Yes, do other teams get away with illegal screens? Yes. How about the Warriors being targeted for carrying/traveling calls, while players like Ja, Luka and Giannis carry the ball on a platter without it being called. KDs vaunted crossover is a huge carry, AIs crossover was illegal, etc… Teams/players are getting away with illegal stuff all the time.
In that game against the Cavs where they pulled off to win it. I was awfully mad that there are too many calls missed for the warriors and the officials obviously are in favor of the Cavs, which ended up losing btw(Thanks to the greatness of Steph Curry). But think about this, Most players who are throwing shades to The Chef is the players that can't even do the things he does. (Except for Shaq) I have been waiting for this video by the way because at the start of the 2022-2023 season It's clear that the NBA is trying to get rid of the Warriors out of the Playoff pic.
He is butthurt about it lol. But to say that Steph gets all the calls?? That's just a lie. There's so many times he receives contact and no call at all. Plenty of other players in the league that pick up easy touch fouls compared to Steph
Lol Austin Rivers is just bitter because Stephen Curry ruined his entire career, and when are ppl gonna start hating LeBron, or KD, Or Luka, Giannis, or the actual players that get a lot of calls their way. It's truly a disgrace to see the NBA rig The greatest 3 point shooter in History and then, because he overcomes that bs, claim he's cheating. Guess what NBA, why not just get good instead of punishing greatness
As you can see this season, warriors averages 2 calls a game for illegal screens. If you're a hater then it will be justice for your petty conscience. But, saying that they give Steph every call is just plain stupid. This guy can't guard his in-law, and I bet he can't talk about it at home so he steamed it out on an interview. Hahaha
Funny how no one is talking about the illegal screens in the comments, was him saying “Steph gets every call” correct? Absolutely not. He has one of the weakest whistles among superstars. But everyone in the comments is acting like he’s some sort of god that can do no wrong, and people that criticize him are “haters”… Andrew Bogut himself said that once he left Golden State he found himself getting in foul trouble much quicker because he would actually get called for illegal screens. And it’s not like these screens are ONLY being set for Steph, they’re being set for everyone on the team. Think about how big of an advantage that is
I was talking about this to my best friend during the Grizzlies game. Ref betting pool in shambles, all because of talent. And now Dubs are spreading the points around, showcasing that they don't only have Steph and Klay.
it always gets me how they always whine about Steph getting "illegal screens" but they literally be bear hugging him the entire time they literally always grappling him every single possession like GTFOH Lol
This is happening to the lakers as well. Every game they compete but then lose bc cause of some bs calls. Im a warriors fan, but just also wanted point out some other teams are getting crap calls
bruh , the 17" GSW had 3 of the best shooters the game has ever seen , by the time Bulls realise that they would be 30 points behind by half time. guarding Curry is one thing but guarding him + Klay + KD ... at that point you just hope they have a bad night or it's gg .
I dont agree with the idea that star players should be treated differently by the refs, like the rules r what they r and should be applied the same way to all players. However, since we know that star players get calls in their favor significantly more often than some bench player, it must be said that steph most def does not get treated the same as other superstars.
The warriors themselves admit to doing illegal screens, but honestly I don't know if it would change much if they started calling them, as long as the warriors adapt and stop doing them. Or at least do them less obviously. Aside from that, sure you can be mad the already great warriors signed KD, but they were winning before they had him and are winning after he's gone. Can't really get mad at anything else, all their players are either drafted or were traded for and developed into what they are now by the warriors.
90s basketball had super star tiers (could not breathe on those players) and repeat offense. These teams today can shoot. 88 points to win a game is unheard of today. That only happened in the jordan era.
Curry and the warriors probably get the least calls in the league. Refs blatantly ignore fouls against steph all the time. Maybe 1/3 of fouls are called on him
Steph can never get the calls on his 2 or 3 pointers, it would put him on the line which will produce a 90% chance of winning a game and bring his point per game average at a minimum of 35 points per game or even high.
There is a very popular conspiracy theory in Chinese NBA fans that the league does not want Stephen Curry to be successful because he did not sign with Nike
I doubt that any of those Steph haters would pass on the opportunity to have him or a player like him on their teams. What bothers some is not only that the Golden State Warriors play a pretty game. It's also that they win with it. For some others they have made basketball more entertaining. People who say "Defense wins championships" can't honestly say the Warriors don't play defense if they have watched them play. They're not like any of Coach Mike D'Antoni's teams. I'm not a Warriors fan, just a realist.
SHEESH...I've been saying this for years! Folks be hat'n on my boys the Warriors because they dawgs! Refs hate Steph especially because he makes their lazy asses work since, he's always moving. NBA Refs are LAZY af... Then there's the Bron and Jordan fanboy commentators/analysts/and sports journalists who hate that Steph is quickly catching their boy(s) and creating crazy records of his own. And he STILL has 4 to 5 more good years left to play. But he's already cracked the 6 best players of all-time on some folks' lists. Then there's coach Steve Kerr, who is a damn active icon of the game who played with the past G.O.A.T. while now coaching the present G.O.A.T. to-be. Add to all of that the fact that the YEA AREA has one of the largest and most modern arenas with the loudest most faithful crowds, THAT FOLLOW THEM TO DIFFERENT STATES...and yeah...peeps be hat'n HARD!! Lastly, the Warriors have the best culture in the league. PERIOD!! Players come to the Warriors and seem to flourish beyond their previous potentials (Andrew Wiggins, Ty Jerome, Jordan Poole, Donte DiVincenzo, Anthony Lamb, Kevon Looney)...plus the Warriors have a handful of future superstars in Jonathan Kuminga, Patrick Baldwin Jr., Moses Moody and James Wiseman. Then if all of that wasn't enough, Steph, Klay, Dray, and Iguodala have the highest basketball IQs in the entire league and carry with them the DNA for winning Finals! The greatest are always hated. Especially when they can boast as the current Dynasty.
As a Warriors fan since the 90's it's crazy! Fans and teams don't care about us when we suck and hate us when we are great. So having to sit through all those years of tanking before 2015, I'd say just enjoy it.
They hate on the Dubs for drafting well, developing their players, and making minimal dips into the free agent pool, yet don't hate on the Lakers for gutting their team to get rid of their drafted players to exchange for stars to create a superteam...SMH. If any team should be called out for "buying" a Larry O'Brien trophy, it is the Lakers. The Lakers would've been better off keeping Caruso, Montrezl, et al instead of trading them for Russ.
Im not the biggest warriors fan, but they should not be hated to the point where they are getting sabotaged by the league. They win their games fairly and are not doing anything against the rules. Plus everyone hates them because NO ONE has shown that their management can develop their players better than the warriors. This is just sad dude.
Yes! Refs are giving every team a 10 point handicap against the W's. And when they're on the road, it's more like 20. So glad someone finally pointed this out. It makes sense though. Not that I agree with it but I understand it. It's not good for the NBA if a couple of teams dominate every other team on those teams' home courts. The allure of getting to see the W's play has faded and now fans are just salty that they get blown out every time. If Steph got all the off-ball grabbing fouls he should be getting, other teams wouldn't stand a chance. Which, BTW, that's the same reason they don't call the moving screens on Dre. Most of the time, they happen when Steph is off the ball. If they're going to call off-ball moving screens all the time, then they better match that by calling all the off-ball fouls that they're currently ignoring. Or Dre is handing off the ball to Steph and trying to pop. We all know Dre isn't going to get the ball back but, he still has a right to pop out and prepare to take a pass. Austin's just tired of getting que'd by Steph all the time. And then his sister goes and marries Seth just to rub some salt in the wound. 🤣
I think the reason why Rivers is complaining is because Steph’s release is so quick you have to guard him close ALL THE TIME. Any inch of daylight and he’ll get a good shot off. Nobody else in the league is like that and you can park yourself on the back for a good contest if you stay with your man 80% of the possession. Because they have to guard Steph so closely, every screen feels like a moving screen and you have to get so close to Steph to affect his shot it’s very easy to foul him. So I think Rivers is wrong that Steph gets all the calls but I can see why he thinks that way. At least he doesn’t jerk his head back everytime he drives like Harden.
What Scottie and Rodman are getting at is the way the game is played as a whole. Not just the warriors it’s cool Steph can make all these crazy shots and do all this stuff but it sucks because the defense can’t do anything to stop it not for lack of trying but these rules are leaning to heavily one way
Adam Silver straight up said he wanted to reach a demographic, and make basketball more entertaining, as soon as he said that, warriors magically started winning chips, as steve kerr saw the opportunity and took warriors because they shoot a lot of 3s, midrange and post fades used to be entertaining, but 3 point shooting is also very entertaining and was different, its cool seeing deep shots go in, rather than slash, and slow post ups, he even wants more spectacular dunks and layups, so silver did all he could to make sure teams shoot more outside by enabling illegal screens, and made sure more highlight dunks and layups were broadcasted by allowing illegal screens, same with ball handling style by enabling carry's, its all in front of us
@@theonlygoodonehere2259 the crazy thing about all the money the players is getting. Is that I think it’s stopping these players from becoming the best player they can be. Paul George spoke on this about this generation of players. I’m a hornets fan(haha I know jokes one me) but, melo did not deserve that massive extension he got. So silver wants to see more offense, mid season tournament, play in tournament, take foul, the players take whatever day they feel like off, plus you!!! Idk how this can continue in the league honestly if something doesn’t change more people will start to check out
@@t-god2439 tbh, I have already stopped watching games, silver continues to wreck the league, some want to say it saved the NBA, but hey, let them watch this circus league
Steph is literally this character from this anime called Kuroko no Basket named Midorima. I swear he watched it as a young adult and was like "That will be me"
Atlast someone said it! I've been furious with this referees even in their home court of too much foul on the warriors and too many free throws given to the oposition mostly on the crucial last minutes of the game. I already knew tgey are cookinf tge warriors with referees never being punished for shit calls. I've been vocal in my comments about it but guess what? A lot of haters just keayboard warrioring me. Seeing this made me feel better. That's how strong the warriors and Steph are. The refs have to intervine to beat them and still manage to be around 500.
I respect what Rodman said just cuz of the way he played and the era he played in, he is right in a way but today era different from his era cuz of the wide spacing
I was not a basketball fan ...till 2014 I don't know anything about nba But one morning in 2015 I wake up early in the morning to watch ipl highlight match but they are displaying GSW match and first time I watched the goat steph curry and believe me or not I fall in love with this game after seeing steph shooting.....so dear haters, just keep hating and crying ....because that is the only thing that you can do🤣😂
Let me say 2 things that need to be said. 1. Without the '96 Bulls there would be no '17 Warriors. 2. The '17 Warriors would sweep the '96 Bulls in a 7 game series.
I mean ESPN and Skip Bayless’ show rarely cover the Warriors unless it’s a controversy or they are losing. You would think they’d be on TV all the time for a defending champion
Whats destroying the NBA are not the good teams like warriors. Whats destroying the NBA are the bad rules and also the non stop bad officiating without any repercussions. I barely watch NBA games unless they are top teams because of these reasons. The frequency of multiple bad calls and bad non calls that cant even be reversed for some odd reasons are whats making the game boring. It takes out the trust in the game and you just lose interenst unless they are not the top teams playing. I would be probably be interested watching the lowest ranked NBA teams playing if the NBA fixes those 2 issues.
These people are just hating because Curry is definitely the best shooter. The Warriors are a great fit together. I'm wishing them many more years and titles together. They work hard for it.
Any analysts want Golden State to give away their young players to help other teams build for the future and take a one to two year player in return. Building for the future with young players requires patience and the calm of a gambler. You have to allow the players to mature and develop their skills. Find your own talent. Just my opinion.
So Nba 2k14 was my first 2k in a long time and I had stopped following basketball and then suddenly through that game i was playing golden state and I was just shooting like the easiest 3s ever haha and then my friend told me bro they are the splash brothers and I was so fasicnated by their playstyle i looked them up and even kind of then people thought this was a gimmick and wont work in the long term but then bro they way steph curry fucking evolved you just have to respect this man what a fucking human being
I mean, I'm a GSW fan and I agree about what Austin River just said. And if you have been watching all their games this season (like me) then you will notice that they have tons of turnovers and one of the reason is that the refs are starting to call them on that illegal screen. Most importantly, you do know Austin Rivers is their brother-in-law, right? He even was with the Curry family on their entire vacation right after the Warriors won the chip. You know that, right? 💁♂️
Is so obvious what refs been doing all season. And is not even being bias. I remember an early game in Orlando think they had like 45 FTs. Hell just this last game vs Memphis they gave Steph 2 fouls in less than a minute in first qtr! Lol. Klay and Poole had 3 fouls first qtr too. And warriors still had the lead. The league knows they can’t stop their offense so their last resort is to slow the momentum to call every little thing they can “justify” to the naked eye. I forgot what other game Curry got called for traveling when they inbounded the ball. On a play they everyone literally makes as second nature when they bringing up the ball lol. Rant over but sheesh lol
After dismantling the Grizzlies twice this season, who here sees the Warriors winning the West?

Depends. I don’t think we’re getting the 1 seed, but I’d bet my house on is making the finals again, winning the wcf along the way (obviously)

Yes sir bruh growing up in the Eastbay it's raiders warriors and A's but we all had bulls gear too yesir
I am getting most Golden State Warrior games. They should've won those games
Funny thing is Austin and Steph are basically family 😂 Seth Curry is married to Austin’s sister so that’s just awkward
Anyway it’s funny that he said this when Warriors have been getting the least calls all season and Curry is averaging 30 with the least FTs out of every one else averaging 30
The Warriors have the greatest FT disparity (Warrior FT per game vs opponents FT per game) than any other team in the league.
I love the point about how Steph changed the game and that's one of the sources of resentment. I think about guys like Kenneth Faried that had so much potential at first but couldn't find a good fit in the changing NBA landscape. I think the league should bring back more contact so people can understand that the 3pt spacing already counters a lot of the physical play since you can't hand check someone that is shooting a 3 anyway. With the level of athleticism in the game now and the sophistication of dribbling techniques, I think it'd be a fair balance to bring back more physical defense. It's more fun than Ja and JP getting called for questionable dribbling.
If Rivers actually watch gsw games its actually the opposite, cuz at least 60 percent of the time Steph gets fouled shooting 3s but he doesn't get that much foul call tbh
bruh you doing tricks on it.
Speak them facts then... To truly understand Austin's hate, you have to remember that he once backed up Chris Paul in LA. And his lob City team and franchise was destroyed by Steph Curry. Then you have to remember he played in Houston when Steph destroyed that roster. As a matter of fact, was he on that Denver Nuggets roster the warriors blew up too??? Like, imagine being a sixth man on really good teams that keep getting blown up by one franchise...
Austin is just mad cuz Seth and Steph always sht on him at family dinners. Austin's daddy doesn't like him and he's jealous of the Curry's relationship with their dad. Both Seth and Steph have better careers than Austin and he is the in-law that feels unloved. He will be ok. lmao
he seems to forget how Steph and gsw lost the 2016 finals with loads of calls not being called for them or being missed. you could pick any of the last games in that series and see how 4-5 clear fouls were "missed", which could have changed any one of those games results. after that curry got less and less calls his way, refs seem to overcompensate when calling fouls for Steph just cause of all the narrative
When the time Steph came over the injuries and got that first MVP, that was the time old players started retiring.
grizzlies should not talk trash tbh
They think they are a dinasty when they are ringless bunch of clowns
Great video. Way to shed some light and truth on this persona of the Warriors being favored by the league. The Boston game is so rough to watch towards the end, really makes you think how rigged the NBA is.
Jeez, why don't you just quit watching then.
You do know the refs gave the boston celtics moreeee free throw the entire series right?
U STUPID IF U THINK NOT WARIORS THE MOST VS REFF ALL DAY

Then spend your whole life bitching then, there's nothing else you can do about it. I can't control what anyone thinks or says. But, I can control what I want to hear. I'm done with the lame ass excuses.
I grew up with some tough times with the Warriors, from the Twin Towers, to the RUN TMC days, and sure it was always fun, but never satisfying because they would always lose, make bad draft picks and trades. And I remember some fans complaining about the Celts, Lakes, Pistons, Bulls, or Rockets, being favored, or rigged to win. So I understand why anyone would feel that way. But to say they won without trials and struggles, and that it was given to them??? Man, that's just disrespectful, and your team deserves to lose, and you go deeper and deeper into your conspiracy BS, until the point of not watching again. That's my point.
I mean, they missed 5 calls in 7 minutes (2 regulations, 5 OT). That means in regulation, if that trend stayed the same, they missed roughly 34 calls. That's a missed call every 1.4 minutes in 48 minutes (48 ÷ 1.4 = 34.3). Now I know that's not true, but even 20 missed calls in 48 minutes seems insanely high.
MJ is still the GOAT for me. but 96 bulls would be just another playoff team with today's NBA. If 90s basketball is much better way to play, then everyone would play like that. Now every team plays almost like the warriors because it is well known to be more effective, and efficient.
Definitely disagree suns made it to the finals a couple years ago and shot the most mid range shots but shot it any an insane percentage so it was more effective to play like that if you got the right coach and personal
@@joshsmith1854 Wasn't GS hurt? Yeah no Wiseman or Klay.......
Word! Shooting the 3 @ 40%=60% 2 point shot. How many teams ever shot 60% from 2? Imagine shooting a less accurate % 2 or 3 steps away behind the 3 line? That would equal more points. GSW figured out how to win games & are being punished for it. Those hating on the warriors for bringing in high volume 3s hate that they made the game more skilled. You don't get to dominate just by winning the gene pool as a giant or having freakish strength. You must master the skill of shooting. Look at Zion. He's the closest thing to Shaq though smaller but he's not exactly tearing it up. How about Bol Bol? In the 90s, they'd have been fire. The old heads hating are doing so cos many of them wouldn't survive today's NBA. You think Rodman or Wilt could live as wildly as they did & still dominate if they p;ayed today?
@@savonsanders8684 can’t use that logic buddy doesn’t work in your favor when the first chip y’all won k love and kyrie were hurt lol
You kinda forgot about the rule changes and the disgusting amount of travels refs don't call nowadays which help players get into open 3's and layups. Rules and officiating are so different that today's NBA is not comparable to the 90's.
As a ref the three and 5 second calls were right as it is based on the intent to leave the area which both of them had
The nba admitted they were wrong in the last 2 minute report…
They literally disclose the last 2 minutes of every games ref errors (if it's within 3 points at any time during the 4th quarter ) and they had 5 calls wrong, all favoring the Celtics.
He change NBA, he's the reason why it is exciting to watch him everytime, and he's definitely the reason why I love basketball. I don't care what haters says. I'm gonna keep supporting.
#GoWarriors.
Exactly.
Go Warriors!
It's not exciting. Seeing 84 threes a game gets old and boring

And Steph just threw his mouthpiece and got ejected. Literally got ejected for it!
Do they get away with illegal screens? Yes, do other teams get away with illegal screens? Yes. How about the Warriors being targeted for carrying/traveling calls, while players like Ja, Luka and Giannis carry the ball on a platter without it being called. KDs vaunted crossover is a huge carry, AIs crossover was illegal, etc… Teams/players are getting away with illegal stuff all the time.
Preach...The NBA is trying to make stars...so no calls on Ja, Luka,Giannis, KD, etc....
Kuminga is improving heaps and the boy is 20 years old. He is the future of warriors.
I was waiting patiently for this after beating Memphis
Finally someone and only the UA-camr has the guts to speak the truth!!👍💪🏻💪🏻 nba fix the game and fav certain teams
Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. May the dubs win some more and make the haters suffer some more!
In that game against the Cavs where they pulled off to win it. I was awfully mad that there are too many calls missed for the warriors and the officials obviously are in favor of the Cavs, which ended up losing btw(Thanks to the greatness of Steph Curry). But think about this, Most players who are throwing shades to The Chef is the players that can't even do the things he does. (Except for Shaq)
I have been waiting for this video by the way because at the start of the 2022-2023 season It's clear that the NBA is trying to get rid of the Warriors out of the Playoff pic.
He is butthurt about it lol. But to say that Steph gets all the calls?? That's just a lie. There's so many times he receives contact and no call at all. Plenty of other players in the league that pick up easy touch fouls compared to Steph
Lol Austin Rivers is just bitter because Stephen Curry ruined his entire career, and when are ppl gonna start hating LeBron, or KD, Or Luka, Giannis, or the actual players that get a lot of calls their way. It's truly a disgrace to see the NBA rig The greatest 3 point shooter in History and then, because he overcomes that bs, claim he's cheating. Guess what NBA, why not just get good instead of punishing greatness
As you can see this season, warriors averages 2 calls a game for illegal screens. If you're a hater then it will be justice for your petty conscience. But, saying that they give Steph every call is just plain stupid. This guy can't guard his in-law, and I bet he can't talk about it at home so he steamed it out on an interview. Hahaha
I thought I was alone on this, this stretch of win loss win loss have actually been really close games and it ultimately comes down to the refs🤦🏽
NBA refs probably sponsored by DraftKings. They cooking
Funny how no one is talking about the illegal screens in the comments, was him saying “Steph gets every call” correct? Absolutely not. He has one of the weakest whistles among superstars. But everyone in the comments is acting like he’s some sort of god that can do no wrong, and people that criticize him are “haters”… Andrew Bogut himself said that once he left Golden State he found himself getting in foul trouble much quicker because he would actually get called for illegal screens. And it’s not like these screens are ONLY being set for Steph, they’re being set for everyone on the team. Think about how big of an advantage that is
I was talking about this to my best friend during the Grizzlies game.
Ref betting pool in shambles, all because of talent.
And now Dubs are spreading the points around, showcasing that they don't only have Steph and Klay.
4 championships in 8 years probably has something to do with it!
5 of 9 coming

it always gets me how they always whine about Steph getting "illegal screens" but they literally be bear hugging him the entire time they literally always grappling him every single possession like GTFOH Lol
Bruh rivers literally tackled Steph then threw up his arms in disbelief when he got called for a foul lol
JK is gonna be very big in 3-4 years 🔥
This is happening to the lakers as well. Every game they compete but then lose bc cause of some bs calls. Im a warriors fan, but just also wanted point out some other teams are getting crap calls
bruh , the 17" GSW had 3 of the best shooters the game has ever seen , by the time Bulls realise that they would be 30 points behind by half time. guarding Curry is one thing but guarding him + Klay + KD ... at that point you just hope they have a bad night or it's gg .
Those clowns like to live in the past hahahaha 🤣
If Reggie Miller pushed them to game 7 then idk how they would keep up with 2017 golden state
I always love your content bro. I'm a fan since then. Keep it up💪💪
I dont agree with the idea that star players should be treated differently by the refs, like the rules r what they r and should be applied the same way to all players.
However, since we know that star players get calls in their favor significantly more often than some bench player, it must be said that steph most def does not get treated the same as other superstars.
The Warriors have the greatest free throw disparity (Warrior FT per game vs opponents FT per game) of any other team in the league.
Trust me Dennis, people would rather see Steph shoot from 50 feet then watch you take a free throw.
Hoop reports strikes again with another amazing video 💥
They said the same thing about Jordan his entire career.
To be fair jordan got 8 average ft per game while Steph got like 4..
bro, no one could touch Jordan after he became the face of the NBA
Curry is league darling, don't like that doc rivers kid but he is right..
I look forward to your breakdowns, such attention to details in your analysis. Thanks again and keep up the great work 👌🏻
The warriors themselves admit to doing illegal screens, but honestly I don't know if it would change much if they started calling them, as long as the warriors adapt and stop doing them. Or at least do them less obviously. Aside from that, sure you can be mad the already great warriors signed KD, but they were winning before they had him and are winning after he's gone. Can't really get mad at anything else, all their players are either drafted or were traded for and developed into what they are now by the warriors.
90s basketball had super star tiers (could not breathe on those players) and repeat offense. These teams today can shoot. 88 points to win a game is unheard of today. That only happened in the jordan era.
Your take on that warrior and boston game was spot on. Refs are trashed.
Curry and the warriors probably get the least calls in the league. Refs blatantly ignore fouls against steph all the time. Maybe 1/3 of fouls are called on him
Steph is still the best player in the NBA and when you think he's cheating that's how you know your salty
He said Klay got all ball stripping Brown, when he did not touch the ball at all...bias??
Steph can never get the calls on his 2 or 3 pointers, it would put him on the line which will produce a 90% chance of winning a game and bring his point per game average at a minimum of 35 points per game or even high.
There is a very popular conspiracy theory in Chinese NBA fans that the league does not want Stephen Curry to be successful because he did not sign with Nike
I think this makes sense. Nike currently provides almost, if not all, of the sports apparel in the NBA.
Exactly! If Steph was with Nike he would probably get 7-8 trips to line every night.
I doubt that any of those Steph haters would pass on the opportunity to have him or a player like him on their teams.
What bothers some is not only that the Golden State Warriors play a pretty game. It's also that they win with it. For some others they have made basketball more entertaining.
People who say "Defense wins championships" can't honestly say the Warriors don't play defense if they have watched them play. They're not like any of Coach Mike D'Antoni's teams.
I'm not a Warriors fan, just a realist.
SHEESH...I've been saying this for years! Folks be hat'n on my boys the Warriors because they dawgs! Refs hate Steph especially because he makes their lazy asses work since, he's always moving. NBA Refs are LAZY af...
Then there's the Bron and Jordan fanboy commentators/analysts/and sports journalists who hate that Steph is quickly catching their boy(s) and creating crazy records of his own. And he STILL has 4 to 5 more good years left to play. But he's already cracked the 6 best players of all-time on some folks' lists.
Then there's coach Steve Kerr, who is a damn active icon of the game who played with the past G.O.A.T. while now coaching the present G.O.A.T. to-be.
Add to all of that the fact that the YEA AREA has one of the largest and most modern arenas with the loudest most faithful crowds, THAT FOLLOW THEM TO DIFFERENT STATES...and yeah...peeps be hat'n HARD!!
Lastly, the Warriors have the best culture in the league. PERIOD!!
Players come to the Warriors and seem to flourish beyond their previous potentials (Andrew Wiggins, Ty Jerome, Jordan Poole, Donte DiVincenzo, Anthony Lamb, Kevon Looney)...plus the Warriors have a handful of future superstars in Jonathan Kuminga, Patrick Baldwin Jr., Moses Moody and James Wiseman.
Then if all of that wasn't enough, Steph, Klay, Dray, and Iguodala have the highest basketball IQs in the entire league and carry with them the DNA for winning Finals!
The greatest are always hated. Especially when they can boast as the current Dynasty.
5:41 is this why kerr won’t play wiseman and moody
As a Warriors fan since the 90's it's crazy! Fans and teams don't care about us when we suck and hate us when we are great. So having to sit through all those years of tanking before 2015, I'd say just enjoy it.
Long live Roaracle!
They hate on the Dubs for drafting well, developing their players, and making minimal dips into the free agent pool, yet don't hate on the Lakers for gutting their team to get rid of their drafted players to exchange for stars to create a superteam...SMH. If any team should be called out for "buying" a Larry O'Brien trophy, it is the Lakers. The Lakers would've been better off keeping Caruso, Montrezl, et al instead of trading them for Russ.
bro you've been constantly making the same vid but i enjoy it
the warriors do set illegal screens though just watch that warriors v cleveland game
Now I really want the warriors to win again just as a middle finger to all the haters.
The warriors got to string wins together and execute over the next couple of games.🏀
Im not the biggest warriors fan, but they should not be hated to the point where they are getting sabotaged by the league. They win their games fairly and are not doing anything against the rules. Plus everyone hates them because NO ONE has shown that their management can develop their players better than the warriors. This is just sad dude.
This video is pure greatness!
Great takes, always thought the same especially about the Boston game
Yes! Refs are giving every team a 10 point handicap against the W's. And when they're on the road, it's more like 20. So glad someone finally pointed this out. It makes sense though. Not that I agree with it but I understand it. It's not good for the NBA if a couple of teams dominate every other team on those teams' home courts. The allure of getting to see the W's play has faded and now fans are just salty that they get blown out every time. If Steph got all the off-ball grabbing fouls he should be getting, other teams wouldn't stand a chance. Which, BTW, that's the same reason they don't call the moving screens on Dre. Most of the time, they happen when Steph is off the ball. If they're going to call off-ball moving screens all the time, then they better match that by calling all the off-ball fouls that they're currently ignoring. Or Dre is handing off the ball to Steph and trying to pop. We all know Dre isn't going to get the ball back but, he still has a right to pop out and prepare to take a pass. Austin's just tired of getting que'd by Steph all the time. And then his sister goes and marries Seth just to rub some salt in the wound. 🤣
I think the reason why Rivers is complaining is because Steph’s release is so quick you have to guard him close ALL THE TIME. Any inch of daylight and he’ll get a good shot off. Nobody else in the league is like that and you can park yourself on the back for a good contest if you stay with your man 80% of the possession. Because they have to guard Steph so closely, every screen feels like a moving screen and you have to get so close to Steph to affect his shot it’s very easy to foul him. So I think Rivers is wrong that Steph gets all the calls but I can see why he thinks that way. At least he doesn’t jerk his head back everytime he drives like Harden.
What Scottie and Rodman are getting at is the way the game is played as a whole. Not just the warriors it’s cool Steph can make all these crazy shots and do all this stuff but it sucks because the defense can’t do anything to stop it not for lack of trying but these rules are leaning to heavily one way
Adam Silver straight up said he wanted to reach a demographic, and make basketball more entertaining, as soon as he said that, warriors magically started winning chips, as steve kerr saw the opportunity and took warriors because they shoot a lot of 3s, midrange and post fades used to be entertaining, but 3 point shooting is also very entertaining and was different, its cool seeing deep shots go in, rather than slash, and slow post ups, he even wants more spectacular dunks and layups, so silver did all he could to make sure teams shoot more outside by enabling illegal screens, and made sure more highlight dunks and layups were broadcasted by allowing illegal screens, same with ball handling style by enabling carry's, its all in front of us

Steph is literally this character from this anime called Kuroko no Basket named Midorima. I swear he watched it as a young adult and was like "That will be me"
Atlast someone said it! I've been furious with this referees even in their home court of too much foul on the warriors and too many free throws given to the oposition mostly on the crucial last minutes of the game. I already knew tgey are cookinf tge warriors with referees never being punished for shit calls. I've been vocal in my comments about it but guess what? A lot of haters just keayboard warrioring me. Seeing this made me feel better. That's how strong the warriors and Steph are. The refs have to intervine to beat them and still manage to be around 500.
NBA vs GSW
It's clearly, That the association don't want another Warriors championship.
No 3 sec call bc he only had ONE foot in thats why ..
Stephen Curry still his PRIME 🔥🔥🔥
I respect what Rodman said just cuz of the way he played and the era he played in, he is right in a way but today era different from his era cuz of the wide spacing
I was not a basketball fan ...till 2014 I don't know anything about nba
But one morning in 2015 I wake up early in the morning to watch ipl highlight match but they are displaying GSW match and first time I watched the goat steph curry and believe me or not I fall in love with this game after seeing steph shooting.....so dear haters, just keep hating and crying ....because that is the only thing that you can do🤣😂
Let me say 2 things that need to be said. 1. Without the '96 Bulls there would be no '17 Warriors. 2. The '17 Warriors would sweep the '96 Bulls in a 7 game series.
I mean ESPN and Skip Bayless’ show rarely cover the Warriors unless it’s a controversy or they are losing. You would think they’d be on TV all the time for a defending champion
Whats destroying the NBA are not the good teams like warriors. Whats destroying the NBA are the bad rules and also the non stop bad officiating without any repercussions. I barely watch NBA games unless they are top teams because of these reasons. The frequency of multiple bad calls and bad non calls that cant even be reversed for some odd reasons are whats making the game boring. It takes out the trust in the game and you just lose interenst unless they are not the top teams playing. I would be probably be interested watching the lowest ranked NBA teams playing if the NBA fixes those 2 issues.
The game between Boston and Warriors are expected that the IDIOT REFS WILL GIVE THE FAVOR TO THE CELTICS.
Watch the game badcalls were on both teams so don't just listen to one warrior D rider
yeah, even NBA reports said admitted that miss call at last 2-3 min OT game
In video games, its more of like "denying the meta"
That was some good detective work there Tex lol
These people are just hating because Curry is definitely the best shooter. The Warriors are a great fit together. I'm wishing them many more years and titles together. They work hard for it.
Any analysts want Golden State to give away their young players to help other teams build for the future and take a one to two year player in return. Building for the future with young players requires patience and the calm of a gambler. You have to allow the players to mature and develop their skills. Find your own talent. Just my opinion.
So Nba 2k14 was my first 2k in a long time and I had stopped following basketball and then suddenly through that game i was playing golden state and I was just shooting like the easiest 3s ever haha and then my friend told me bro they are the splash brothers and I was so fasicnated by their playstyle i looked them up and even kind of then people thought this was a gimmick and wont work in the long term but then bro they way steph curry fucking evolved you just have to respect this man what a fucking human being
this is so good.....
Thats a rude way to talk about your brother in law.
I mean, I'm a GSW fan and I agree about what Austin River just said. And if you have been watching all their games this season (like me) then you will notice that they have tons of turnovers and one of the reason is that the refs are starting to call them on that illegal screen.
Most importantly, you do know Austin Rivers is their brother-in-law, right? He even was with the Curry family on their entire vacation right after the Warriors won the chip. You know that, right? 💁♂️
Is so obvious what refs been doing all season. And is not even being bias. I remember an early game in Orlando think they had like 45 FTs. Hell just this last game vs Memphis they gave Steph 2 fouls in less than a minute in first qtr! Lol. Klay and Poole had 3 fouls first qtr too. And warriors still had the lead. The league knows they can’t stop their offense so their last resort is to slow the momentum to call every little thing they can “justify” to the naked eye. I forgot what other game Curry got called for traveling when they inbounded the ball. On a play they everyone literally makes as second nature when they bringing up the ball lol. Rant over but sheesh lol
This is the best video so far!
What is the beat/song at the end I'm tryna make a crazy sample
