After the wizards saw Steph hit that high ass floater, John wall and them boys phoned it in "Yea he ain't missing this game, get the plane ready" 🤣🤣
Omm 💀😂😂
Lmfaooooo 😭
😂 "get the plane ready" WW
Wizards fan here.
John Wall GOT PUNK BY CURRY LAST NITE!!!
WAS SCARED THE WHOLE GAME. 200 MILLION PLAYER TOO????
@@vinnyidol86 Nah Curry just wasn't missing it just was nothing nobody could do
9 years and still not over it.
Shits hilarious bruh, I can't do nothing but laugh...Stephen A. is so sad
I mean can you blame him lmao
He should be sad imagine curry at msg
At least the Knicks didn't draft Jonny Flynn over Curry. What a travesty!!
Knicks could have draft DeMar Derozen
Knicks will forever be haunted by that 2009 draft
How bout Minnesota smh, wasted those picks.
Minnesota had TWO chances lmao
The one with Minnesota was more complex than that. They couldn't draft Curry even if they want too, since Stephen Curry is adamant he doesn't want to play in Minnesota, and will demand for a trade if they do so.
No my Minnesota Timberwolves picking 2 weak ass point guards ahead of him smh
Lil tay do u Watch sports
When the Knicks drafted Porzingis:
“WE DRAFTED PORZINGIS?!”
Years later:
“Porzingis is my friend”
If the Knicks drafted Curry:
“We drafted an undersized kid who can’t do much more than shoot the ball?!”
Years later: “Curry is my friend”
Cole Lutz exactly!!!!!
Cole Lutz hind sight is always 20/20. Who’s to say Dolan wouldn’t have traded him in the first year or two. And good job making everything about you and the Knicks. It’s not 1995. The Knicks are irrelevant man. And let’s not act like this is all on Curry. They also needed some great drafting with Thompson and Green too.
Knicks passed on DeRozan lmaoo
Cole Lutz he’s supposed to do that smh what ever happened to common sense. 😂 you praise the people who help your team win , you don’t praise those who you think will make you lose smh
Not really, their fans (and perhaps franchise too) really wanted Steph Curry so much so they booed when GWS drafted him cause they were so disappointed
I was watching the game like my gosh this is wild. Steph made a random Wednesday night in October feel like Christmas morning when I was a kid
Aww man getting me hyped for the Christmas games!
This is absolutely true... #FACTS
"Don't get me started about his momma"😂
Low or high key shooting his shot every chance he gets lmao
His momma is badddd 😍 sorry steph
Stephen A Smith trying to shoot his shot lmao
She fine
Thank god he isn't on the Knicks. They would've squandered his career.
Knicks fan here and that's the truth
Hard to say cause that one year with the Knicks melo took em to the playoffs.
U can't deny Steph, melo, a'mare stoudemare. Could of been a finals favorite. Even with the heat full force that year.
That's not true. Golden state was trash before steph.
THEY WOULD HAVE TRADED HIM BECAUSE OF HIS ANKLE PROBLEMS
Reeko He Made Davidson College Relevant and respectable...Their Only NBA player...He has the ability to make any team great and those that truly follow his career know this...You don’t realize how great he is I was saying he was the best player his rookie year!! I followed him in college...he went off on everyone and led his team to the longest win streak that year... Davidson College!! As soon as he signed with Davidson His coach new they would be great.... Any team Steph would’ve gone to would’ve been great! He can create his own shot with no help at all and his been that way even before leading Davidson to the elite 8 and making them relevant.... Any team he went to this was bound to happen...His team ain’t got nothing to do with him bringing the ball up the court and pulling up on 3 defenders
Timberwolves had two chances to get Curry. Lol.
Lol
Timberwolves choose 2 guards before curry!
Minnesota hold the biggest L of 21st century
Rubio is in Utah, and Flynn pretty much never played in the NBA.
ChowDownDetroit [Seoung Lee] kawhi laugh
remember when Stephen Curry dropped (54 points vs New York Knicks) Career Points High (2-27-13) in 2012-13 NBA Season
was about to say the same thing! He is right though, damn that was special Hahaha!
That was literally when I respected steph
I don't think the media expected this kind of performance from steph again, especially since Durant has been there on GS. Steph really did take a back seat to Durant. So watching this, is reminding them of that unanimous, MVP level player. I say this, because the Media already sold their narratives for this years MVP, and Curry was not even in their minds.
yeah that was the knicks' last good season. they won that game. raymond felton got the game winning block on curry
I knew curry was the shit at Davidson. I thought he was the best shooter ever then.
Bruh Stephen A....you know for a fact that his career would have been a complete waste if he went to that dumpster fire of an organization please.
Chris Burnett no not in steph curry’s case. would he be a champion? prolly not but that shooting would’ve still developed
Bruh I absolutely love steph my favorite player of all time....also what do you mean developed? You sir cameron newton should know he always had that ability LOL. But foreal it doesn't matter how great and skilled the player is the Knicks front office are bound and determined to find a way to completely fuck up building around their best player and even worse finding a coach that will actually instill a system that best fits his skills.
You do know that the warriors were also a dumpster fire of an organization at that point too, that's how they had a lottery pick in the top 10 which grabbed them SC30 so you never know what might of been had Steph gone to New York he might have elevated them and attracted free agents with his style of play and plus it's the largest media market in the country
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
d antoni was the knicks coach and he would love curry! curry had to suffer from the disease of ellis! the knicks were a better fit for curry than the warriors in 2009!
I only came here to see Stephen A yelling, crying and shooting fade away with his Hair line
he looks like the dude from the jeffersons.
@@thomasgelke6586 did u really just say the dude from the jeffersons? 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Hahahaha... funniest thing I've heard all week!!
and this, is the reason why I read the comment section. hahahah!!!
😭
I understand how Stephen A feels because Steph Curry is the most exciting and most amazing player to watch ... He's also the best basketball player in the world !!!
Not the best bro he is the greatest curry is the sole reason why Kenyans are watching these hand soccer oooh sorry basketball
No he's not. He's not even the best on his own team.
@@samatar6852 I feel sorry for you. Jealous? 🤣🤣
@@nilanjansarkar356 no. Curry is an all time great. People are just going too far with the hype tho.
@@tliutliu lmao ok
I can’t stand Minnesota passing on curry and kawhi 😡😭
That would of been the deadliest duo we've would of ever seen if that happened
What Stephen A is clearly leaving out is the Knicks organization SUCKS. And I'm a die hard Knickd fan.
We would've ruined Steph and never developed him properly. Or we would've shipped him out of town when he had all of the ankle injuries because this franchise has ZERO patience with their drafted players. They rather overpay other teams players instead of developing their own players. Hell...we drafted Tim Hardaway Jr..only to trade him away..watch him improve in ATL...then pay him too much to come back. FML
Good point about the shipping out !
Your right but i do like what they're doing right now
This guy knows his shit. Let's put it this way, as long as James Dolan still the owner of Knicks, expect the long suffering of Knickerbockers.
@@tmac29nyc TBH.. I am not sure what I'm seeing right now. Our offense is a joke. It's basically a freelance offense which allows whoever has the ball to create a shot for himself. I'm not sure what to make of Fizdale as he comes off as a PR guy more than a coach to me. I dont see any organization on offense or defense but the players are playing hard at times.
I'll tell you this tho...in NY.. you can only get away with being a nice guy who says things we like to hear for so long. At some point I need to see results or all the "cool" guy shit will work against him. That's how we roll. Sorry Fiz
@@manchesterunitedno7 No truer words spoken. Dolan must sell.
Curry wouldn't be the same player if he was on the Knicks. Golden State's medical staff were the ones who came up with his special Ankle Braces that kept him from getting injured. Also when he was injured most teams would've traded him as projections showed he wouldn't be able to maintain his health so the Knicks probably would've traded him. We can't act like players are the player that they are no matter where they go, Oladipo wasn't close to what he was right now on the Magic or Thunder. It's about fit and Golden State was the best fit.
True the golden state organization took care of Steph Curry and he won them back-to-back championships.
About half of it is the organization. But some credit to Curry too. He's personality and culture he creates as a leader makes players want to play with him and he elevates others. You look at Warriors players they always dancing and high five Curry because they enjoy playing with him. Some players bring doom and depression to their teammates I can name a few.
@@neckboneschannel Obviously Curry is a Top 10 Greatest of All-Time talent and I give him all the credit in the world for putting in the work to make that happen I'm just saying that Golden State is the reason why Curry was able to excel to that not because they made him better or anything but because they believed in him 100% and helped him as much as they could. I bet there are some NBA players that were All-Stars that could've been All-Time Greats if they were with good organizational fits.
EDIT: I'm not saying he's a Top 10 player ever I'm just saying he has the talent to put himself in that position.
Core fitness is always important in any sport. It's your foundation
Love you Stphen A. Thank you for recognizing the brilliance of Steph Curry....
It is 2018 and Steph Curry is STILL underrated. People have just gotten use to what he does and do not realize how rare what he is doing actually is. I went off on this on my channel today.
He's really in a different league. Because his defense is questionable at times but nobody shoots from 40 feet or off the dribble better than the baby faced assassin
tbh the knicks org is so bad that even if the warriors pass on him the knicks would be stupid af and still draft Jordan Hill lmao
Cameron Trail lol curry was 1st on their draft board but knicks would have probably traded him After his ankle issues and i am a knicks fan
na they were gonna actually pick steph that why he is so sad about it
Cameron Trail I agree LMAO 🤣.
Where is Jordan Hill now?
No if the warriors pass on steph the Knicks will definitely pick him but will surely trade him after that horrible ankle injury that hold him for 2 seasons .... the wolves are fucked up for drafting two point guards over steph
His Dad wanted him to play for the Knicks too.😂 Curry didn’t work out for the team and the GM selected him anyway. Every time the Warriors play in MN there’s a fan with a sign stating the “Wolves passed on Curry twice”. It is the best thing EVER.
Knicks would ruin Steph career
Mr. Sauceman X Backup Account Not his stat wise but yeah he would never win over there
@@wlmoni6854 dumb curry melo n porzingis would be amazing
@Elton Francis Not to mention the Medical Staff. If it wasn't for Golden State's Medical Staff creating those special Ankle Braces and for management believing he could be a great player he wouldn't be close to the player he is today. Knicks would've traded him also.
Knicks woulda had a title by now
@@dusttaker No they wouldn't. Stephen Curry wouldn't even be on the Knicks right now if he was drafted there.
This is the saddest and also most hilarious video I've seen this year! Thanks Stephen A Smith!!
How can anyone hate on Curry?
Jericho Nicolas if someone’s a lebron fan
Edit: which I’m not btw
@@soggycereal1514 that has nothing to do with Lebron dumbfuck
I hate him and his dad cause they straight up told the Timberwolves not to draft him. He would sit out if we did. No one seems to bring that up eber tho and then laugh at Minnesota for passing on him for 2 other guards. In 2009 this is the potential lineup Minnesota couldve had
Curry
Derozan
Brewer/Gomes
Love
Al Jefferson
if people start to excel others spreadsheet about them
As a GS fan since the 70s, who could not enjoy hearing this man talk?
Stephen a needs a therapist, he's in constant depression because of the garbage of a franchise the knicks are
All knick fans are. Knicks tickets should be worth $1
Justin R facts. It pisses me off when they have the nerve to sell row 201 seats for $200... like WHAT?😭 The city of New York deserve better!
Can this guy please stop saying "he's the best shooter in the world" like that's all he is? He's been the best shooter in the world since like, 2013. His trajectory is the GOAT. Get your head right.
when you get a Legend like Stephen Curry, you dont only get a MVP player and the greatest shooter of all time player, you also get a player who other great players wants to play with and be part of his team, Steph is a superstar and also a great teammate and human being 👌💕
All you gotta say is three little letters in succession M... V... P....!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👌🏾🐐🐐
I love that honesty by Stephen A. Smith, good take!
If there’s a point guard in the draft that can shoot well, you must draft him.
JD 1 good job Hawks
JD 1 JIMMER FERDETTE😂😂😂
Yeah, the problem with Jimmer is he only can shoot and shoot only. He is not crafty like Curry or Irving. He can not creates his own shoot off the dribble. Plus he is 2 inches shorter than both Curry and Irving. He is poor man's J.J. Reddick, and that's a low ceiling for a PG.
JD 1 I see you like HH and basketball. Nice
He's needs to be able to create his own shot as well
🗣Ladies and gentlemen don't this sound like your ex 9 years later and still not over it 😂
Slim Boy Transformer_On_32s l
IF your mom pronounced it Steffen, that IS HOW IT'S PRONOUNCED! You changed it
"His momma named him clay, I'ma call him clay"
How he shoots those 3s are jaw dropping,,wow
If he was a Knick imagine how crazy the garden would’ve been
Steph Curry does things that people daydream about doing.
Go for 100 Steph
As a Knicks fan I feel your pain
Portland could have had KD and Jordan but they Choked
Speaking of choking let's not forget the avengers blew a 5-1 infinity stone lead on thanos
Greg Oden would have been a beast if not for injuries
@@hozman5700 he wouldn't have been KD I can tell you that. But yh Greg was solid in Milwaukee
Biggest choke in choke history.
Stephen A. Not Stephen A. Without the accidental and purposeful stuttering 😭😭😭😭💯💯💯
Curry actually wanted to go to the Knicks too lmao, Knicks wanted him too
returned to this video after steph broke ray allen's record for regular season 3s.
Here’s the issue with it even if the knicks took curry would the knicks have stayed with curry through his early injuries? I believe he had about 3 seasons of injuries idk if the knicks would have stuck with him as the warriors did
Erik Rashawn Coates yeah I was thinking the same thing. I mean if he would have signed for cheap with them then yeah, but the Knicks don't keep anyone. After they leave they do way better. Ex Ariza, Frye, Crawford, David Lee won a chip, ECT.
He only missed the majority of two seasons, including last year, from injuries. He still had a injury trend but it wasn't as bad a Joel embids first couple of years.
The question is "would he had gotten injured?"
JusSick24 yes. They were pre existing injuries. That’s part of why he went so low
He technically didn't miss a "majority" of games last season, but yes, he's only had two seasons where he missed significant time due to injury. His ankle issues were a lingering problem that predate 2011-2012, though.
so your name is Stephen, hell this whole time I thought it was Stephen
Former Knicks fan here. But make NO mistake about it. Had Curry gone to the Knicks, they would have UNDOUBTEDLY found a way to stifle his development and keep him from blossoming into what he is today. They DID NOT and DO NOT deserve him..........EVER !!!!
Peter Paz servera y
The knicks organization wouldve absolutley screwd stephs career im glad hes not on the knicks, phil jackson wouldnt have been unselfish to bring the things curry wouldve needed. Steph is matched up with unselfish ppl,which matches stephs character And this whole gsw team. Mike d antoni either He wouldnt have been able to do anything either.
Imagine how Minnesota feels about that draft...
All-time starting 5:
Curry
Jordan
Lebron
Duncan
Kareem
ArcadianGenesis where is Hakeem....
Your all-time rivalry starting 5:
Stockton
Kobe
Durant
Davis
Shaq
Magic? Point guard that can play 1-5 and be affective, imo the greatest point guard of all time, and don’t sleep on Oscar Robinson, Magic would slap Curry 8 times to Sunday
@@blastproof8555 Curry fits better with this lineup because he brings a deep threat, and Lebron plays the same role as Magic anyway. If you play Magic, not one person in that lineup can be a reliable marksman, and the paint gets too crowded.
Magic curry Jordan LeBron and Kareem . That's my 5.
for the past 4 years when i feel down i only need to look for Curry highlights and im ok thank uou for these years curry. please give this next year that is my Christmas wish early March
Curry at the end of his career will be a top 10 player ahead of Kobe. Definitely top 5 in terms of most impactful.
Top 10? Are you stupid? He is the GOAT!!!!
Tony Tapat Shouldn’t you be doing your 1+1 homework, you 9 year old?
@@ja2ke737 that joke is older than you
Tony Tapat I’m sure it is. Doesn’t make you any older than me.
@@ja2ke737 what kind of comeback is that stupid
He’s more than just the best shooter. He’s got that killer instinct and the most efficient in the clutch. He would knock those 2 free throws that Lebron missed. Lebron isnt good in the free throw line and even worse in clutch moments. They refs can help him by putting him in the free Throw line when he fouls his way to the basket. It’s horrible now, he’s so used to get the call that he doesn’t even finess his way to the basket, he just fouls his way to the basket and if he missed the lay up, the referee just calls the foul either way. But the refs can’t shoot the free throws for him.
I know. In 5 games Steph might have 15 free throws. In 5 games Lebron James will have a minimum of 50 free throws. Anybody who spends that much time at the free throw line as Lebron James should be able to shoot free throws better. Especially after 16 years of living at the free throw line
Shoutout to Stephen A Smith I seen you on west 61 st n west end
With or without his hairline?
Flashyfinancier a lil but of both
Pray for New York
Actually, his name is Wardell.
His momma named him Stephen, I'ma call him Stephen
Stephen Curry would've become Stephen Marbury if he went to the Knicks 😂
wroney16 lol
He the MVP!!!!....in China 😆
4:40 Just go ahead & lose😁😁😁
YaBoyCurtis 1 I almost passed out laughing. That was funny
Lmao.
Man SAS really hurt about that shit lmmfao. Look at how he was visualizing at the end then just put his head down like Damn. Lmfao
The Greatness of Steph Curry this season he's waking people up, greatest shooter of all time and he's still going
1:03 When you can't think of something to say so you just repeat something and hope you'll come up with something.
By the way this *ain't nothing* for Curry have you seen what better performances he has done before this is *nothing* .He has hit at least *five 3-pointers* in each game so far.Curry has *scored 30* or more points in four of the first five games so far.he hit *13 threes* in a game currant record by the way. *54 points career high* .He has multiple *11 threes* in a game.Theres *hundreds* of players that have 11 threes for a career high and Curry do it on a *daily basis* .Most threes in a *finals* .Most threes in a season. *2,162 threes* made so far in his career.He can make *77 threes* in a row look it up.This is just another game to add to the *many many accomplishments* for *Stephen Curry* .
Stephen A Smith: Now before I get started on ( INSERT NBA PLAYER NAME) let me just start by saying I personally know his father whose a great role model, great person to be around and don’t let me get started on his mother whose one of sweetest people on God’s green earth...
It's going on 20 years now since the Knicks last played in the Finals. As a New Yorker, I would love to see the Knicks not only winning, but playing in May and June again.
Being a Pistons fan I look back to the 2004 draft and I know exactly how Stephen A feels.
What about the Wolves the Wolves got 2 Chance....Yes TWO CHANCES of Drafting Curry but instead they draft Bums and No names.....smh
Well aftey they traded rubio rubio became a top 5 pg in the league waiting for the comments
As a Knicks fan, I feel the same way
He wouldve never gotten as good as he has on the knicks. The warriors played him smart and allowed him to recover from his ankle injuries, and be patient with him. The knicks wouldve worn him out and he wouldve never seen the finals. This is coming from a knicks fan
Warriors have made so many horrible draft picks and trades they deserved to finally catch a break. Not only with Curry but Klay drafted #11 and Dray drafted #35.
If curry was a knick, EVERYTHING would've changed right now.
Why would anyone draft, a soft playmaker from Spain, over Steph curry? Crazy
JD 1 because hindsight is 20/20
JD 1 At the time it was the better choice. The thing is curry was a injury prone player and people thought he could end up the way jimmer freddete ended up. Where as Rubio was looked at as a playmaking genius. I mean he played basketball professionally since he was 14 years old. which is crazy. I feel like he could have been a dominant point guard if he had an above average jumpshot, but we all now how he ended up.
Jerome 355 everything you said was right accept jimmer fredette was drafted two years after Curry
At the time, Ricky Rubio was viewed as a point guard who was a great playmaker. On the other hand, Steph Curry at the time was very frail, crafty, and a great shooter. Many people didnt believe his game could translate to the NBA.
Darren Ezeh I know, what I meant was that they thought he wouldn’t be athletic enough on both sides of the court ,to have an impact(which turned out to be wrong). Jimmer freddette was similar in that sense that’s why I mentioned him(In his case they were right though)
"Kevin Durant had a quiet night y'all he did... You know what he had?. 30"💀💀😂😂😭
I basically know this video word for word because I've watched this video like 50 times. SAS is hilarious 🤣
Why is SAS harping on something that happened 9 years ago? #LetItGo
While everyone acknowledges that Steph is a great player, he is actually being under represented as one of, if not the deadliest all time offensive player ever. He get's overlooked because he isn't posterizing other players on a nightly basis, dunking is not part of his game.
To illustrate this, basketball is moving towards more sabermetrics, but's it's still been slow to adapt. If you follow baseball you know that sabermetrics is all they talk about. But if you ran some kind of sabermetrics with Curry, he would probably grade out as the best offensive player ever on a per game basis.
I know this season is still young, but he is shooting 55% from the field, 53% from 3 point range, and 91% from the line. Usually only big men who shoot near the room can get that high a field goal %. But Steph is doing this and he is doing this by launching balls from all over the court.
He might not be as gifted a raw athlete as MJ and LBJ, but he is more efficient than both those guys and he will one day be possibly recognized as the greatest offensive player ever if you judge it by efficiency.
Don't let me get started on his mama words can't express how sweet she is lol
I love both Stephens...never loved basketball until I watch Steph curry play but the icing on the cake is your commentary :-)
Damn, that genuine sad take by Stephen A.... NY is a city with such rich Basketball culture it makes me sick that the Knicks can't ever get into the conversation. If only James Dolan would sell off the franchise.
Why am I laughing at his pain...........Lmfao
Word, I feel like Crying right now...
LOL!!!! SAS watching the Knicks said, "Go ahead and lose." lol *crying tears*
SAS can't describe how much he loves Curry's mother huh...?
Well...she hottest momma in nba y'know
ET If Delobye was on the Warriors he would’ve probably tried to holla 😂
@ET fuck delonte
It would have been incredibly wonderful to see him do his thing nightly in NYC! But, how would Carmello have handled this young upstart?
Me too Mr. smith
I never knew you was a Knick fan‼️💯
We gonna shine soon🤟🏾💪🏾
“Only person that called me Stephen was my mom” welp from now on I’m calling him Stephen (steff-in)
(Steff-en)
Now he or kd dropping 60 on us tomorrow night😭. Thanks alot SAS.
wweecwwcwtnanba1928 might be Klay
No but go on a 47 to 9 run in the 4th ahaha
Finally admits he is JEALOUS
Stephen A. .. you're a riot! You're on point though.
Am Nigerian and I love this man...🤣🤣His analysis on youtube about basket ball is hilarious and entertaining..
I love when he talks about Steph ! It's just hilarious and facts at the same time 💯
Stephen Curry aint no God pfffft... Who cares if he revolutionized the NBA despite everyone questioning if he'd even make it in the big leauges. What's the big deal if the lil' dude worked his butt off to change his shot and suddenly own every 3 pt record on the books? So what if he won several championships and is one of the best role models for our kids today. So what if he works hard?
Big deal...
big deal, media will still hype lebron's bum ass over any great player anyway xD.
@@metalsadman dripping with sarcasm.
This. This comment right here
Stay on Golden State Warriors Stephen Curry don't ever leave
Bird won MVP in 83-84 playing alongside 3 HOFs
Duncan won MVP in 02-03 playing alongside 3 HOFs
Bill Russell won MVP in 57-58 playing alongside 6 HOFs
Wilt won MVP in 59-60 playing alongside 3 HOFs
Stop with this BS narrative that Steph can’t win MVP because of the talent he has around him, we all know why you don’t wanna give it to him
They probably wouldve traded him
Dear ESPN, tell Stephen A Smith that I like that shirt. Thanks Papi.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing Stephen A. No one could predict Curry's development or he would have been selected #1 overall....if the Knicks knew about his greatness, they would have traded up one spot. No guarantee either that he would have developed into the player he is in NY. The pressure and distractions may have impeded his development, who knows.
At the time of the Draft in 2009, he was 'just' a good shooter with potential from a smaller College. On the shorter side and with below average athleticism, during a time when D. Rose was the man and every GM was looking for a strong and hyper athletic PG to emulate D. Rose. Don't forget that!
Like I said, hindsight is easy.
Anyone else get annoyed when people make fun of organizations for messing up a pick? Like fr, no way anyone could know the future.
Kd had a quiet night and ended up w/ 30. Aint nobody knocking them boys off.
Hold on...his mama called him Stephen ima call him Stephen.
Poor Stephen A. His unique blend of passion and analysis is like none other. I loved every bit of this. Don't get it twisted I don't enjoy his pain as much as his eloquence and expressing himself and I can relate to that just as a fan. Stephen A, we are blessed to have you and your perspectives shared. Thank you!
The Knicks wouldn’t have been patient because his early years he had ankle problems and you know how the knicks. I’m glad he didn’t play for the Knicks, best pg in basketball and 2nd best pg ever
get over it ain't nothing gonna change it lmao
The Knicks will never win anything ever again until they give Patrick Ewing the Head Coaching Job. They've been cursed ever since they fell out with him in 2000! #facts
But also golden states others pieces like Klay, Draymond, Barnes, Barbosa, Livingston, etc. and even before KD all contributed to Steph achieving everything he has. That organization was putting in that work & did a great job. Curry shouldn’t have all credit even though he is amazing & is back to back mvp. His team/organization was a great fit for him
Knowing the Knicks and their front office incompetence, they would have passed on Curry and he would've wound up on the Raptors.
