Exactly lol
Truth
When a dude transforms the way the entire game is played, you are the definition of generational
His individual accolades still all star level, he didn’t change the game, the combination of Curry and Klay and Warriors system did.

@luischerena7804 what all star has 2 league MVPs, one of then being unanimous?
he's not a generational TALENT
@@IScoreUnderPressure4 Please stop propping Steph's "unanimous MVP". The only reason he was the 1st was because some moron voted for Carmelo over Lebron to slight him (Boston writer, shocker). The irony of Steph getting the 1st "unanimous" MVP in 2016 when LBJ was head & shoulders the best player in the league while beating him in the Finals. Steph a one-way player, with one elite skill.
Steph changed NBA forever. The greatest 3 point shooter in NBA today.
in NBA history*
All time
Greatest shooter period.
Greatest three point shooter doesn't make you necessarily the best shooter of all time. Three is very volatile and can be inconsistent. You can argument that the greatest shooters tend to be from the mid-range simply because it's so much more consistent and has less volatility. But because of the three-point shot being more than two, you live with that but it doesn't necessarily make you a better shooter. Just cause you're the best three
He didn’t change it forever! Everything comes and goes goes ….. now look at luka a joker ….. maxey brunson kyrie …. I name those names bc look at how they play !! Not like Steph! Remember when the suns did run n gun an all they did was basically shoots threes an it didn’t work ?? A lot of the league tried to mimic that an it didn’t an doesn’t work! Trey young tries to be Steph an ISNT lol so to say he changed the game forever is how “what do u specifically mean”?
Steph Curry is the reason why there is a Kaitlyn Clark!!!

Yup she’s the female Curry! After watching just one of her college games I was like, she’s him 👌🏾
Caitlin but yeah!
Wouldn't that mean he's NOT generational. There are others in his own time. Generational means 1 in a generation.
@@andremiller1566 .. That means others want to be like you .. If there’s no MJ there’s no Kobe just an example

very good point
So basically you just started watching basketball.

A generational basket player in sports is an athlete who is exceptional and stands out among their peers. They are considered once-in-a-generation talents, possessing extraordinary skills, abilities, and achievements that set them apart in their sport.
These players go beyond being great athletes; they redefine the standards of excellence in their sport and have a lasting impact on the game. They are seen as the best in their sport and are often compared to the greatest players of all time.
Essentially, a generational player transcends their era, leaving a legacy that is highly respected and remembered for years to come. These players are rare and are celebrated for their unique talents and contributions to their sport.
And that is Stephen Curry, the man who changed the sports of basketball.
He sure isn't. HE'S AN ALL TIME TALENT.
I think he was trying to say you can’t mimic those other guys because you can’t teach size but you can mimic Curry because you can learn how to shoot. The only problem is you can’t learn how to shoot like him so that definitely makes him generational.
Who shoot like curry ? Dame just started n still can’t do ita
dame, trae?
We talking about mimic dawg gil wanna talk about size he wanna say 6-9 magic who can pass the hell out the ball and then you have a 6-11, 7 ft jokic making passes like no other come on brotha
But size isn’t even a talent. That’s just god given
Being able to shoot like curyy is the equivalent of artists being able to paint a masterpiece its not as obvious as physical attributes but you cant mimic it all the same
Watching Stephen A is a routine just like getting your morning coffee. His passion is undeniable.
I definitely wouldn’t call what he does or how he does as passionate. More bombastic and full of bluster.

@@femmedenise3598he has been a hater of Steph for a long time
And people keep forgetting that Curry is guarded by 2-3 players at all times. Not even Jordan faced that level of defensive focus. Jordan could not do it without Rodman, and Pippen; Bird could not do it without Kevin McHale and Robbert Parish. Magic could not do it without Karem, James Worthy, and Michael Cooper. Magic and Kareem can be argued into the top 5 or 10; those two together was so unfair lol. Super Teams have existed since day 1, so I don't understand the Curry or KD hate.

Is this guy Arenas alright? I'm not a Warriors fan, but Steph has not only completed basketball (won everything) but is the greatest shooter in the history of basketball. The guy has has changed how basketball is played at every level - youth basketball, college, and the NBA.
Steph Curry was an Epoch of a basketball player. How he played and the style of play GSW's adopted changed basketball.
This change is as significant as Centers to Forward to Guard lead basketball teams.
It’s his ability to shoot off the dribble that really makes him stand out. He’s generational for sure.

A fan from Dominican Republic. For me generational is who a generation wants to imitate, mimic. Everybody wanted to pass like Magic, score like Bird, anyone playing basket wanted to be like Mike. I have never seen and heard anyone saying they want to be like Lebron even though how great he is, however the last 15 years all players, young boys, kids, want to play and shoot like Curry.
Who is even giving this debate any attention?🤦🏾♂️
Steph is clearly the most important and influential player of his generation by a mile. It is his style of play that every team in the NBA has adopted. Spread the floor and shoot the 3. This is the basketball universe we now live in that Steph created. His style of play has been copied by all, but none can truly match his shooting ability. They are but pale imitations of the original.

Generational talent and generational player are two different things in my opinion. When Steph came into the league, NOBODY saw this coming what his career has come out to be nor the type of player he is. But it’s a testament to his hard work that he has become generational as a player without coming in with all the hype and talent as other players.
“3 point shooting team cannot win a championship” was the general consensus from the 60s celtics dynasty up until the heatles proves he is generational
The volume and accuracy of Steph Curry is off the charts. There is debate for greatest in multiple categories. There is no debate on the greatest shooter ever.
He's also got the hardware before and after Durant.
Tracy definitely speaking facts but he definitely top 10
he is top 5 for sure
Better than MJ Kobe Kareem Bron Shaq Duncan? I dont think so
@@Frank-mt2hfwith 4 rings as best player and 2 mvps he's top 4-7 all time .
i hear you but lebron is generational and top 5? he has the same weakness. if he doesn't have star power around him, he loses just like everyone else in NBA history. Jordan lost the first 5 years in the NBA. so i don't see how Steph isn't in top 5. kareem, magic all had super teams behind them. Makes it hella easy when you have al star to dime to. Also a 6'9" point is just trash imo. they did that to take advantage of size doesn't mean he is a true point. If that's the case jokic is the best PG in history
Players like Bill Russell and Wilt should be down below now. Basketball was not in its beta state anymore.
Steph Curry is the reason I started watching the NBA...he introduced me to basketball 🏀
The man pulls up from 30 feet then turns around and runs the other direction without watching the ball go in. And he’s done it in the Playoffs/Finals. There’s nobody like Curry.

@@gdc6153 curry is top 10 not even a debate.
if you put him at top 20. you probably another ignorant oldhead.
When someone shoots good, you say he shoots like Curry. Hes the standard
Curry's not just generational, he is transcedental.
A LOT of NBA stars have dissed Curry, his talent, his accomplishments. Don't matter. He struts his stuff, plays great more games than less, gives as much time as he can to family & wife, contributes to a lot of charitable drives/orgs, doesn't badmouth anyone, tries to be mindful of all his fans.
Love Steph!!!
The three-point shot went from being a gimmick that wasn’t taken seriously as a championship-winning strategy to THE championship-winning strategy. Nobody changed the game more in the last 30-40 years than Steph.
I honestly understand Gilbert's point, he's arguing the rarity and difficulty of Curry's attributes. A child looks at LeBron, Wemby, and Magic and when reality hits them knows they probably won't be 6'9 or 7'4 with those wingspans and have the mobility they have, but any child (especially during 2015-18 when Curry started going crazy) knows they can be an elite shooter like Curry if they just put in the time. Trae Young is a good example, elite shooter, clearly got influence from Curry. HOWEVER, not only was Curry the first to master this aspect on all levels but his impact is something undeniable, 20-point leads literally aren't safe anymore BECAUSE of what Curry did. He changed the game and offense entirely, that and it's a lot more than his shooting, his off-ball movement, speed, ball-handling, finishing, etc. Anyone can be an elite shooter yes, but we ain't getting another Curry, lol. Literally just look at all the other elite shooters of previous generations and then Curry. It's not close.
When I hear Stephen A. says the word "I love GIlbert Arenas, I love his Podcast" I knew something's real shit coming.
Is Kyrie Irving a top 5 point guard? & I disagree with Tmac, that's like saying If scottie & dennis rodman got injured would they have won? Maybe they would be a force cause those bulls teams were stacked to cater to Micheal Jordon. Curry is definitely a generational talent. He doesn't need the ball to get his shot off, and he's crafty around the rim for his size. 4 rings to show for it. "He's a silent killer" - Kobe Bryant.
4 rings but was only the best player in one of them
@Frank-mt2hf I agree, however Andre igoudala openly stated that it should've gone to steph. As an athlete myself, we don't tare down one another unless it's in a competitive nature so iggy deserved that mvp he played great defense and had timely shots down the stretch, with that information your telling me without steph curry are the warriors the warriors? He's an important piece to the success of the Golden State Warriors. A generational talent.
Jordan and Lebron was dragging carpenters and Walmart cashiers to the Playoffs and finals.
@@gdc6153nope on Lebron. Larry Hughes and Mo Williams weren't chumps early Cavs days. He then went to Miami with Wade and Bosh to form his first super team then got K Love and Kyrie back at Cleveland. He then went to Lakers to play with AD and Westbrook (the fit sucks, but Westbrook was still good).
Steph is not a generational level talent, but he demonstrates how with his work ethics, he's able to maximize what he has into the greatest shooter of all time. What if LeBron practiced shooting hallway 3's like Steph does?
Le Bron still wouldn't be a Steph. He is LeBron. He does what his talent and body dictates. THE BEST. But Steph is Steph and he does what his body dictates. THE BEST SHOOTER GOD EVER MADE.
Stephen Curry is the only person to do what he did on that level so he has to be in the top 10 because he does what he does better than anyone else who has played the game.
Steph is the definition of generational. Imagine being the very best at the most valuable skill in the sport. Not only the best, but by far the best.
Nah I need to see SAS & Gil debate ball, thats good television. Hopefully on Gil's Arena so they can curse lmao
Yall gotta understand what Gil is saying, it would be easier to mimic Curry than mimicking Bron or Zion. There have been players who shot the lights out, the main difference is just Curry has range which one can work on. You cant work on being 6'9 250 with a 40 inch vertical, no matter how hard you try.
Exactly. Don’t know why people are not seeing the difference. There will be players with Steph’s skill set in short order. They may already be in the nba…

Tracy doesn’t have a ring
Do you have one?
@@marlowstanfield6815 neither do you.
I suppose generational isn't accurate if we're talking one of one. Look how many double teams he gets. Especially when another scoring threat is injured or something. Whenever he's on the floor the opposing defenders have one eye on their assignment and the other on him anticipating a pickup attempt the moment he shakes whoever is guarding him. Which all too often is not a matter of if, but when. There's only one Steph Curry, and it will be a sad day when he retires. I'm blessed to witness this level of greatness and hope it doesn't take him retiring to get the full respect he's earned.
Not only that …. He’s a class act on & off the court ..
Generational isn’t dependent on how hard it is to replicate them, its about how they were the first, how they were different, and how those differences were influenced on other players. Matter of fact, people trying to imitate steph is what makes him generational
Preach my brother. Preach
The problem is a lot of people only see talent as the physical attributes we can easily recognise. Perhaps Steph's spatial awareness is higher than others, his capacity for endurance is obviously higher than most. Etc.
Gil said the same about Kobe and all I'll say is Kobe had to have the genes for being able to work like a maniac as consistently as he did for as long as he did without running himself into the ground.
Exactly, hand eye coordination is a talent & very much a facet of of athleticism
Klay was out most of the season they won and when he came back he wasn’t the same that season
Arenas is delusional thinking Curry did all that by pure hard work alone
after all these Years, Steph still Underrated
Stephen A's always 100% on point! Thank you my guy
Thank you for keeping it real SA! Between Carlin Clark and Steph you have been spot on
Curry is easily one of the generational talents. He easily changed the game. Other teams and players adjust their games to try and mimic even just a little bit of his greatness. Curry is in my top 5 easy. Take Kyrie from Luka and they lose.
Except Doncic led his team to the playoffs with a g-league caliber roster in 21-22, Kyrie failed to make the playoffs with Cleveland in the east before bringing back Lebron.
He is crazy!! He changed the game of basketball!
yes he's not a generational talent, he transcends through time and any generation. he's one of one.
Enjoy his play when he's on the floor. You'll never see another player like Curry again.
When will a player transcend the game like Steph again?
When will we see a small guard dominate the game to the level of Steph? The volume shooting and crazy shots with the efficiency is generational.
Steph is unlike any player ever off the ball offensively..the disrespect is crazy.
Steph is hands down a generational talent and he’s top 10 alltime, right outside the top 10 at the very least.
The way Steph shoots is nothing short of Sorcery. It's fun to watch, but scary when you analyze his shots.
Steph Curry is beyond generational, he is more unique than LeBron or MJ Or Wilt, no one in history can do what he has done, and he changed the game more than any before him. Reality
I guess Stromile Swift, Nate Robinson, Spud Webb is a generational talent according to Gilbert's logic.
CURRY IS ONCE IN A LIFETIME TALENT . Only 2 players in history changed the games of NBA. Thats MJ and CURRY. I am not biringing Curry into the GOAT debate. But the game of basketall changed because of him and the warriors.
I am not a Stephen A. Smith fan. I think he has more opinions than he has brain cells. Being forceful, loud, angry, and disrespectful does not make one right. Curry has changed the NBA forever. His quick release, accuracy from everywhere on the court, dribbling ability to get open are all exceptional. Who in the historic past has done or could do what he is doing. The answer: NO ONE!
Gilbert is basically jealous because Steph is what Gilbert should've been and he knows it
Kinda contradicting cause at some point in Curry's career I said, "Damn" while in awe of what this man can do.
There are two ways of looking at Gil’s opinion. He’s either flat out wrong or he’s wrong but can be right if he were to really specify his definition of what makes a player generational. You can’t say generational players can’t be mimicked, give an example of Magic the 6’9” playmaking with crazy vision but then ignore that Lebron checks those same boxes physically and talent wise. Steph came into the league in 09, 15 years in he’s lead the league in total 3s made 8 of those seasons (5 of those seasons were consecutive mind you). He still holds the record for the most 3s made in a season. At this rate, it’s ARGUABLE that Steph’s shooting makes him generational than Magic’s playmaking makes him generational.
When we saw Steph curry we were like damnnn thou lol
I disagree with Tracy - 1. where are you rings when your teammates were out? 2. Did you not watch the finals of 2022? Curry carried that dam team while everyone was guarding HIM, on his dam back - they wasn’t showing up like that! Fix your mouth DA! He is no where near right on his take SAS!
Exactly this is why I love Stephen a. Smith a person that actually knows about the game of basketball 🏀 he always spit facts 💯
He wasn't the tall player comparatively, not the strongest or dominant like Shaq, not athletic like the likes of prime DRose or LBJ. But he lead his team to 4 Championships, and was the one and only unanimous MVP. Changed the playing style of the league and aspiring young talents, for good or bad (that's a debate). If that's not generational then I don't know what is .
If y'all actually listen to Gil he made a good point. Nobody was saying Steph was generational until he accomplished what he did. Ppl was saying LeBron, Shaq, Wemby, tiger woods etc , saying they were generational before they even made it pro. Just saying. Nobody said he wasn't great
if Steph is not a generational player in NBA, Arenas was pure shit during his playing days
There will never be another number 30
Curry is a generational talent and probably a top 10-15 player of all time. He has benefited significantly from the GSW teammates and system though…
Every player in the top 10 , benefited from good team mates and team system though 🤔

@@gdc6153 Nah, Steph is easily somewhere between 9-12
@@izzy9189 Ehh, I see your point for sure. I think some players though transcend their system and ARE the system. They could essentially make any team a contender instantly no matter who was around them. Lebron, MJ, Kobe, Shaq, etc.
I’m not saying I agree, I’m just gonna say “generational talent” is a term usually attached to someone before they even hit the draft. LeBron, Zion, AI, Yao Ming maybe even. Curry blossomed years into his career (even though Skip Bayless liked him over Blake Griffin).
So I wouldn’t say he’s not, but I would say he isn’t a typical “generational talent”. Even Jokic, who’s being thrown into the GOAT centre conversations, doesn’t get called “generational talent” on the regular.
