It’s got to be beyond exhausting. Usually when a player gets rid of the ball you can relax a little, but with Steph, that’s when you have to be the most attentive
And at least for me chasing someone off ball is way more exhausting then guarding someone when they have the ball
Has to be cause defense is by far the hardest part of the game had to guard someone like curry once i damn near threw up at the end and that was only high school level
@@bradentucker4854 I read an article that an nba player was trying to do Stephs workout and ended up I think throwing up or giving up because it was too hard. Crazy even nba players can struggle
@@ffukdemdragons415 I think he’s Anthony Edward
@@enriquesadventure021 yeah, most defenders would rather guard the other teams best layer than their shooter if he’s great off ball lol
guarding steph has to be one of the most exhausting defensive assignments in the history of the game

@@CARBONHAWK1 swept lol
nah,there were/are 4 ways only that actually worked,first one is the delli one,become stephs shadow ,be physical as possible,run into 3 screens per play and get hospitalized for dehydration, the second one is the college style,always put 2 guys on steph for the whole game and play the game 3 vs 4,the 3rd was toronto style,box and one in the finals and hope for lord all the other players are trash,the 4th one is denying him practice and kicking him of the court, it keepa him scoreless for a half but he can drop 30 afterwards,the only one that actually worked was toronto but he overcame that by gaining more strengh,experience and endurance
@@mrkickinthesky ? nothing worked here in a series except for toronto
@@mrkickinthesky steph already adjust to that raptor box and 1 defense..it wont work now..
This is how it felt as a Cavs fan for those four years. Every time him or Klay even touched the ball I panicked
That’s beautiful to hear.
LMAO yes
Well as a warriors whenever kyrie would start dancing or lebron was in the post I felt the same way
It’s always interesting to hear from a opposing team fan base. Whenever I have those guys touch the ball I fear they’ll screw it up sometimes whereas the opposite fear they’ll always make them
@@x416xmusic 😅
Steph is the key to everything. The gravity he has opens up all the pass/drive lanes and makes Draymond and Klay so damn effective.
That’s why Ime should have kept playing the drop against steph. Draymond and Klay were playing awful the first 4 games. Steph was having to drop 45 to barely win. Game 4 scared him into changing the scheme then draymond and klay were ready
@@aguy6053 Non-casuals would instantly know this. Sure there is a better way like blitz him aggressively while being sneaky at it, but Steph has been noticeably better at handling various defensive scheme that to do those things isn't as effective anymore as it used to be. I think Cavs were the best one who ever did it against him, but without the refs 'allowance' I think most of those plays would turn out to be called as fouls in a normal circumstance.
@@judyclarkson5887 In 2016 Steph was on a bad knee and was noticeably dodging all contact. I think he shot like 6 free throws total in the last 3 games. That let the Cavs play up on Steph and he wasn’t making them pay. But the point of playing the drop is to take away lanes from the other guys. Steph was due a bad game this year. It ended up being game 5, the game they decided to trap him. If he still had a bad game without all the traps, Celtics may have won game 5 with game 6 heading home. Could have been a totally different series. But that’s all conjecture I suppose
@@aguy6053 The refs allowed the Cavs to blatantly foul Steph but called every ticky tack foul against him. The fix was in.Clutch sports and nike had their hands all over that series. The league/refs knew the assignment
@A Guy I know this was a few months ago....you can't count out Klay. If he didn't play with Steph.....
I will say no more.
Derek White seems like a genuine dude. Much Respect.
What makes guarding Steph extremely hard is because he's not the most intimidating physically that it gives you hope of stopping him but you just can't. He's in that MJ, KD, Kareem, Giannis, Shaq tier of unstoppable.
Agreed. Makes it even more impressive like you said because he dominates with pure skill as a 6’2 PG.
Giannis but not Kobe the only guy that scored 81
You left bron out
Sounds like a wild starting lineup lol
Steph
Mj
KD
Giannis
Shaq
The fact you left Bron out when Bron lead both finals teams in points, assist, rebounds, steals, and blocks no one you named is more unstoppable than Bron.
I like how almost every guest, there will always be a Steph Curry segment. And people say JJ hates Steph? Lol
Lol that’s why he’s doing it so people can stop saying he hate Steph lol. JJ ain’t slick
@@jehustrachan6015 Delusion at It’s finest
@@jehustrachan6015 highly doubt he cares that much
@@jehustrachan6015 and here you are, advocating for hatred
pretty sure jj just wishes and thinks if he can turn back time he could've been the steph curry before steph curry just my senses- but there's definitely some sort of love hate jealousy admiration but he loves stephen
Bro told the Boston crowd "This is my house" in the 1st Quarter of Game 4 while being down 2-1...
Yeah bro has the ULTIMATE confidence. Win or lose, shot made or missed. He is the ULTIMATE confidence and believes in himself. Steph just different
Lol curry stans are too much. Warriors always get lucky opponents are injured.
@@damienwest2519 Every NBA championship in history has some type of asterisk around it if you try hard enough.

@@damienwest2519 Steph himself played through injury😂😂😂
What a great name for a curry documentary… “48 minutes of where is Steph”
hahahahaha !!!!
Where is Waldell
Bro that would be so disrespectful 😂
Or as Derrick White just said :"Just find him" 😂
Pretty sure the best moment for them is when he is on the bench taking a breather.
This is probably the first time in the NBA you have a highly accurate, high volume 3pt threat that runs like he has 4 lungs. I don't think any player pro or amateur ever had to chase such a threat for 30-40mins. To suddenly change your training just to chase this one player is unbelievable. You basically need to get a cornerback on him shadowing him all game. No nba player is really built like that.
corners and football players in general don’t have endurance like that. I played point guard and corner through college and the conditioning for either sports are completely different. You need like a soccer forward or just a straight up marathon runner to guard steph.
Football players have great anaerobic conditioning, which is essentially the ability to go all out multiple times over the course of a game with down time between bursts. It’s more of a function of strength, which is why they are so jacked.
Whereas Basketball players have great ‘aerobic’ conditioning aka cardio, which is the ability sustain moderates levels of output consistently over the course of a game.
Obviously there are overlaps, but for the most part the two sports lead themselves to two different types of conditioning.
@@jujubee4249 a forward??? No way. Need a fullback or winger that is tasked with playing offense and defense. Those are the best conditioned soccer players. They do full field sprints all game. Forwards and defenders are probably the worst picks for stamina.
Even then though, my wife is a semi-professional fullback and although she competes with any guy when we play basketball its taken time to understand the spacing differences between the two sports. Soccer players give a bit more room on the bball court so Steph would still be super open to score.
@@RockStampPAS the position isn't really the point of my statement, more so the sport itself. I think we can all assume we're talking about it purely from an athletic point of view, so skill level / experience isn't really relevant
it is 48 minutes of "where is Steph" because you need to be attentive on the offensive end, once they transition from D to O and Stephs open on a wing, at that point you gotta pray he misses. Steph is the most lethal offensive weapon the game has ever seen
Steph just puts so much fear in defenses. GSOAT

Derrick White is such a great player for the Celtics.
This is why i dont understand the hate Steph gets. He really got NBA players, top defenders struggling to keep up with him or slow him down. Most of his bad games are just him being off, not always the defense. He needs more credit than he gets. He is a generational talent and we need to appreciate him while he's still in the league. It's not always about just winning, its entertainment as well and his style of play has been entertaining for years !
Steph is a trustfund kid. Ez when he had no challenges his whole life. Pass
@@damienwest2519 so any trust fund kid can make the league? What happened to Jordan’s kids? You sound so dumb
@@damienwest2519 no challenges? Davidson was the only college that gave him an opportunity, then he had multiple career threatening ankle injuries earlier in his career.
@@ncm2738 a rich famous dad solves college problems and ankles is bad genetics. Dude had white privilege
@@damienwest2519 tf? A college that had connections with his dad turned him down, idk what you on. Challenges are still challenges, it was up to him to succeed or flop after that one opportunity in Davidson and his ankle injuries.
No matter is ever said about Steph, he will ALWAYS be underrated. It has been one of the greatest joys in my life watching him play this game ❤
100%. Glad he's my teams leader.
Derrick White is humble person
I saw a stat one time that Steph averages running about 3 miles per game. That's absolutely insane💀
All these players should feel honored playing with such an exceptional player and how they can learn from him. Stephen Curry the Best !!
The meatriding on this is immaculate
@@hamzadahir6526 Nobody talking about Steph tapping Brother Marcus in the nuts, game 6, I see. He roasted those chestnuts. Meatriding? These guys just out here tryna stay off the tip of Steph's thang, because if you don't get on, he takes it personal.
Not just him! His bro! If you light up Seth Curry, or talk too much junk, or foul him hard, big bro gonna pave you over next time he's in town.
Need to get Wiggins on the pod. Would love to hear from him
And looney.
@@ffukdemdragons415 Looney won't be on no pod. His job is to make sure 'accidents' happen when you play the W's
Looney was a big reason why warriors won too,made big te rebounds holding down the paint
White: “It’s 48 mins of “Where is Steph?””
JJ thinks to himself: “I gotta write that down. That’s good.”
There is no such thing as a “Curry Stopper” . Injury, disinterest, or old age has to stop Curry. He has totally figured out the physical and mental aspects of the game. And he desires to get EVEN BETTER! ☠️
Dellavedova stopped him
Wow… if you miss a shot “where is Steph?” Smh not secure the rebound, not stop the break…. Find Steph. I’m exhausted just thinking about that. He completely changes the way you even approach the game
Maybe it’s social anxiety or whatever but that doesn’t matter to me if you really pay attention his responses are actually transparent and raw “ it’s like 48 min of where is Steph “ was a line also describing it as “paranoia” just like JJ said best descriptions. Keep balling DWhite I love seeing you guard in the finals 🙏🏽
definitely seems a bit out of his zone on the interview, but he did well. hope to hear more from him in the future
Really??? Have you seen how NBA players are physically? They're super fit and has endurance for days.
Why do you think those good shooters and other good players out of NBA can't make it? Have you even wondered why? It was not just injury or skill. They can't endure and concentrate to guard a player in the NBA.
I think this was just the first time he actually got to speak about the finals loss and it hurt. No one wants to detail one of the most painful moments of their life so putting his thoughts together and no getting emotional prolly hurt a lot
Fun fact: Curry avg more PTs, RBs and AST than Kobe in the playoffs and Finals. One of a kind talent.
Lol u bum
@@anthonyortega5531 Why because he brought up a good stat? You haters are hilarious.
@R K stop comparing steph and kobe . I get it u like shooting 3s 🤣
@@anthonyortega5531 just appreciate that you learned something you didn't know
@@anthonyortega5531 damn why so salty 😂
I'm in complete awe of his on and off court shooting, play and conditioning plus influence what blows my mind is that digital wise, opposing players or media pulls gravity on viewers from every Steph Curry segment. 😮😮😮 There's none like him, he is 1/1.
Constant off the ball movement, one of the best ball handlers, great passer, all those screens they run and can hit from anywhere on the court. What a nightmare. 48 min of where's Steph? Is the best description I've ever heard. Unless you are an absolute monster in terms of conditioning and defense that's gonna be a rough night for you.
There has never been an offensive player like Steph. He runs route combinations off the ball, sets screens as well which confuses his primary defender coz they never expect to switch
I like his hat. Reflects what kind of person he is. Respect.
It's crazy cuz Steph isn't just exhausting physically but also mentally🐐
Steph wanted that game so bad, I don't think there's anythng anyone could have done to change that. The Celtics biggest mistake was not recovering.
Derrick White looking nervous on here. Kind of refreshing to see.
Yea i hear it in his voice too cool dude fr
Idk if he just talks that way, but he talking about steph while his voice was quivering. Bruv was traumatized
Nah Derrick just talks like that watch the whole interview
He’s shy
😂😂 I thought he was gonna break down and cry when his voice started quivering. Then I realized that’s just the way he talks 😅
He got da Doc Rivers voice
That's pretty much the game plan : 48 minutes of where is Steph.
It's obviously tough to guard him. You can't even even let your guard down when he went inside half court. He can even play off ball which is tough going through screens. Looks like he has high stamina for that one. I don't even see him get tired. The conditioning coach is doing a great job for him. Phenomenal
I dont blame him. When I first started watching Steph, I'd think, "who the hell was supposed to be guarding him?" When he hits a wide open 3. Now after seeing how much he moves with or without the ball and his range. I'm just like "shrug, thats Steph, what are you going to do?"
Even talking about steph makes him exhausted lmao
Lmfaoo bro sounds like he’s suffering inside from that series
He’s still sounds shook up
😂😂😂😂😂 good line
Lmfaooo
He sounded like he was about to cry explaining this 😂😂😂😂
😂😂🤣🤣🤣
@@kim6074 improve your attention span
This conversation is gorgeous. Thank you, JJ.
The similarities between Steph and Messi is just unreal imo. Warriors and Barcelona and Steve and Pep have the same similarities aswell and its just a joy to watch. Its how great players play and how a team game is supposed to be played
ironic considering steve is a klopp fan
Yess
I think Steph is the most underrated as a screener.. you’re basically setting a double on your own teammate because you can’t bump any cutters and you have to stay connected to him..
Hey @JJRedick absolutely love how you interview and drive such insightful discussions. Thank you and Please keep doing it.
I've heard you talk about the scouting report so many times, can you share what it looks like and how it is used?
So I’m hearing … when Steph has the 🏀 you can’t take your eyes off of him. And when he passes the 🏀 you somehow have to become even more focused 😱
yes
He’s the best off ball player of all time
@@BonesDMS4life what about with the ball? what makes off the ball grade is what happens when he has the ball the reason you don’t want him to get the ball
@@kgar5 cuz he’s equally dangerous w or without the ball in his hands
@@kgar5 the amount of offensive gravity he provides off ball along side his quick and nimble footwork to get him to his sweet catch and shoots spots. Not only that but he can do it for the ENTIRE shot clock. Like the guy above said, he’s as much of a threat with the ball and without
Good to hear D White’s POV . Solid underrated player
He said guarding him made him realize what he has to work on in the summer
the way he answered that first question sounded like one of those answers people give the teacher when they didnt read the chapter. like anyone could've said that lmao
😂😂😂😂😂 right
I think he was a little nervous, which is alright
@@qqqmyes4509 facts I love it. Shows that he's human just like the rest of us (despite making it to a place anyone would dream to be in) rooting for him
He sounds like hes about to cry
Lmao I thought it was just me feeling that way
facts. lol
Lmfao I’m glad I ain’t the only one who picked that up
That’s just how he talks
@@MannyParadisee Probably social anxiety cause he takes so long to reply and keeps saying uh uh uh uh uh
As a GS fan the whole game 6 I was on the edge of my seat. GS was up about 12 with 2 minutes in the game and I was still worried Celtics could bust a few 3’s and they’re right back in it. I realized at 45 seconds left we were winning.
And the Celtics is the best defensive team in the last 5years and steph destroyed their defense
There a better defensive team this year so we’ll see what they do against each other! Love Steph’s game
Tbf if the Celtics didn't commit 20+ turnovers a game they'd of won the series. The Celtics crapped the bed with self-inflicted wounds.
@@benkylo8015 their first finals appearance as a team. Nerves, inexperience, etc all plays apart when you playing a veteran team like that. If they was to meet in the finals again, I’m certain they would win 4-2 JT and JB are playing at an all time high
The coaching staff designed the schemes. Dubs victories are combo effort… front office, coaching staff, trainers, players, crowd… and culture. Marginal gains, baby.
@@benkylo8015 they committed those turnovers all year and beat everyone else
Steph Curry is constantly moving! With or without the ball!
Steph is agile and constantly moving , finding open space even when he don't have the ball
Ofc the defender will be exhausted
Very likable player. White gets a little better every year. Respect
Love dwhite and his honesty, gl celtics!
Steph is so hardworking and dedicated that he makes his shots look effortless.
That has to be the perfect hat for Derrick...he seems like the nicest guy ever. Not so nice when he is defending you though...such a perfect fit for this team...
Amazing how much different a year makes. Warriors now 13-13
“He is HIM” quote of the year📠
As a ball player like me who loves to defend, last thing I would want to do is guard a player like Steph. He's already deadly when he has the ball, but when he doesn't have the ball, he's the deadliest. I would always love the challenge of guarding slasher and ISO's like Kyrie. But damn, Bball gods shouldn't have created the likes of Steph. It's like typing "whosyourdaddy"
Awesome take JJ🙏🏽 Derrick White broke down the challenge in guarding Steph very well but damn…Steph is indeed HIM.
Derrick white sounds like giving a testimony in court😂
Love that hat
It's gotten to a point where if Curry misses a shot, it's a win for the defense and the way he's playing, he doesn't miss a lot.
Respect.
Steph gravitates everyone on the floor.. SC30💯‼️
*Yesterday looked like Finals Game 5 again lol*
Doesnt want to talk about Steph the whole time... proceeds to talk about steph for half the interview lol
Derrick White you have a recliner lining, just cut your hair fam, embrace it.🤣
Derrick white seems like a solid stand up guy
As an Oregon fan this triggers me… because we didn’t open the field up that much with him either 😂
Stg everyone who lost to the warriors, “but uh i I’m not injured or if we win that game..I feel like we coulda won the series” 💀😭😭
I think Curry realized early on he was never going to be an above the rim player and decided to become the greatest at cardio. He literally weaponized cardiovascular fitness the likes of which the league has never seen. Perhaps Rip and Reggie were the precursors to Curry but I've been watching the game religiously for 35+ years and have never seen a player push the pace like Curry. He's cerebral as well, knows when to shoot big 3's, drive for layups, hit a tough floater, etc. His situational awareness is top notch. If you notice he jumps sideways a lot, he's using lateral leaps to create open looks for layups and around the rim finishes. He's just an unusual player.
Add all of this to the fact that ANY of his shots could be the catalyst to a 18-20 pt. run that no amount of TO’s could cool off is what makes him so lethal.
Boston celtics played like they had PTSD when facing golden state yesterday.
Celtics are allergic to big games lol. 😂
We talking about the greatest offensive player ever. It's no joke!
I bet they keep an eye on Steph when THEY are on offense
Doubtful. Good help defender but 1 v 1 it’s over
Did you watch the finals? Steph was one of the best defenders on the floor!
@@doubleeph8920 Andrew Wiggins was.
@@ffukdemdragons415 keyword one of...
Why doesn’t that work? He’s been to the finals 6 times in the last 8 years with rings
This only applies on players with high offensive prowess. Stamina along w/ constant movement + remarkable scoring percentage is so lethal. Just imagine if Klay could still come back from his former self and a much bulk, experienced wiseman.. not to say wiggins, looney, kaminga, green, dang that would be really unfair.
it's one thing to be fit enough to guard him and follow him, but as a defender, you're always a step behind. you are always reacting to what he does so you can't stay in front of him be with him. you are always reacting after he's made his first movement.
Even when i play 2k i try so hard to keep an eye on him and a body on him... When i slip and see him open i just be like "if i get dealt wit i get dealt wit"
Damn smoky 😂
Steph is a top 10 guy rn. He brings a rational fear to the sport. You can’t make a mistake around him or Klay. If he even sees the sees the backboard you might as well give up😭
He sounds like Mark’s Doc Rivers impression from RDC world
Steph will forever be remembered as a Man who rivals the King.
😂😂😂😂 yeah right, hes not done
Rival?? He's beat him 3 out of 4 times. Seems more like he conquered the so called"King"
the funny thing about Steph is you can argue he's better without the ball
The constant movement of Steph what makes him lethal!
Don't worry about the Warriors. They are the only team that can find 4 different ways to win in a 7 game series. Other teams can't
It sound like buddy finna cry😂
*Po guy he's crying inside as he speaks about chasing Steph around lol*
If I had to guard Curry I might as well go play NFL with all that running 😂
Nfl players run for like seven seconds at a time. Their long term cardio would be literally a joke compared to Steph
Yeah Curry’s stamina is just unreal I understand the comment of his “offense being his defense” he’s tiring you out on the defensive end for 48 mins your legs are dead on the offensive end towards the end of a game it’s crazy
🐐 Curry
The main goal and the game plan was to find him 😂
sounds like he's working through ptsd
I really would like to know what was the scouting report on Steph in 2016 and what it is now then compare them to the draft report.
He was faster then but definitely weaker. Also not as good from 2. He's probably lost a bit of that insane hand eye which is why his 3pt% has dropped comparatively over a season in recent times, but he's arguably a better overall player now than when he was unanimous
@@beastmry yeah I know that. I'm not sure if he lost it or he was/is still adjusting to getting stronger cause his percentage is better this season.
But, I'm not talking about the general stuff we can figure. I mean the more specific things you see in the draft scouting report and the NBA stuff JJ and other players share sometimes like '...keep on his left hand, has difficulty going right'.
Steph had the same injury in 2016 that khris Middleton had last playoffs..Steph came back in 3 weeks Middleton came back in 6 months. That's the 2016 scouting report on Steph
@@tevinsmith4338 for real. I absolutely loathed the media narrative then. Props to Steph for pretty much never being a whiner about it.
Warriors really are lucky to have him. Folks like him and Tim Duncan are the absolute best. No drama chill dudes for the most part who played the game the right way and left it all on the court.
If u put phone down and listen, all you will hear is “ ummm”
it seems like guarding steph is running a marathon while playing a basketball 😅
Sound like a nightmare to guard curry, I’m thinking over everything and sometime overthinking a play because you’re to worry about if he has the ball or not.
I hate the beliefs and Claims of Celtics Team and their fans.. That they were largely winning the Series.
Had GSW not gotten slack and comfortable in first 5 mins of Quarter 4 of Game 1. This would have been a gentleman's sweep.
Only game GSW was not in real control was game 3. All other games GSW was largely in contol... GSW ruled 20/24 quarters in all six games.
It's ridiculous to think otherwise.
now u see him now u dont, that's Steph my goat
Best offensive player to touch a basketball.
Strange how always Celtics said they win one game they win the chip like in 2017 or 2018 when they lost to the cavs and now when they lost at home to gsw and always think to be 1 game away
He got that dawg in him
So those background graphics are "J's"?!
