Curry didn't just change the NBA... he changed how basketball is played, period. From middle school to pro, and not just the US but worldwide. That's crazy!
you know someone's good if they forced the league to change their rules. But you know someone's better if the league has to adapt their game because of him.
Facts! I call Steph the goat 🐐 because the whole league, AAU, NCAA etc has changed their game because of this man single handedly alone. 40ft jumpers was not a thing until Wardell Stephen Curry. I'm from Cleveland...it was an honor to witness his greatness 🙌🏾
@@taysliick the goat ? I mean he’s like a top 25 or 30 player, his legacy is probably top 15 but I say elite two way players are better than one way players
@@tbone2123 that's fine in the abstract as a statement until you start to ask exactly how much less offense force are you willing to accept for how much defensive improvement over Curry and still rank that other player over him.
As a basketball guy, Magic was the best possible guy for the Lakers GM job. The problem is Magic the businessman has other ventures so the GM job wasn't something he could do full time. The Pelinka managed to politic his way into running the whole show and its a flaming wreck
That’s actually his 4th time leading the Warriors to a championship and 6th time leading his team to the Finals. People say Durant carried those teams but Steph just put that to rest. It’s always been Curry leading the Warriors before, during and after.
Facts even with Durant Cavs coach Ty Lue said their primary focus was Curry, and KD will never get the kinda looks he got when he was playing with Steph, sometimes they'd leave open lanes to KD just to double or triple Steph, now that's crazy
Durant gave them the gsw an unstoppable offense. Whenever steph couldn’t get a shot there was a slim reaper who could shoot from anywhere over anyone. Steph gave Durant the front seat because he’s selfless in basketball but he reminded everyone who he was before Durant came
KD only made GSW a temporary pitstop PRIMARILY cuz he knew that offense was ALWAYS gonna rotate around Steph. that team was ALWAYS Steph's. Steph sacrificed A LOT when KD came over bcuz he WANTED KD there bcuz he wanted to win ...... but make no mistake: KD got those Finals MVP's cuz Steph took steps back for the rings they won. not because he wasn't capable.
and the 2022 postseason ..... the ENTIRE Warriors roster wanted to NOT ONLY win the 🏆 .... but to ensure that Steph WAS the MVP in the WCF, and NBA FINALS. they wanted HIM to get that .... cuz they KNEW he was THE franchise, and that he (more than anyone else) had taken a lot of unfair/plainly wrong criticism for NOT having a Finals MVP on his first-ballot HOF résumé.
steph is a phenomenon. for him to be arguably top 10 of all time while being the only one there without the height and weight dominance is unprecedented
The most impressive part for me has always been his ability to attack the rim. Even in the finals game five when he missed all nine of his the point attempts he still finished with I believe 18 points and monumentally impacted the game. I am so blessed to be from the bay.
he's always been a good finisher, it was actually what made me a fan back in the day when monta is still there, it was overshadowed by his shooting, that's how great he is
I believe you’re right, Nobody!! Kinda like Jordan, I watched for years Chicago was getting crushed Detroit. Then, Jordan took off and there hasn’t been another like him since. Same with Curry…
Magic knows the hostility playing in Boston...Them Fans really be down for their Celtics. & they bring that energy to the Arena. Seeing Steph go in there & literally wanting to fight the crowd & barking back? Enough said man. I'm sure Boston Fans would admit what Steph did was no joke. I'm sure they hate him...but from a basketball stand point, he was that guy.
Steph is probably the most influential player since Jordan. He changed the game not just nba but college and high school the way they practice. And he made a lot of future big men redundant.
Steph is soft spoken, sofisticated, eloquent and well mannered.. so people thinks he is not tough mentally or physically. People should not judge the book by its cover. This dude is one of the toughest guy to play in the history of NBA.
To me that only enhances his toughness, not conceals it. Ppl have things backwards. If someone is REALLY a savage, they can afford to be soft- spoken, well- mannered & eloquent. If a guy has to always act hard, he obviously isn't. Chihuahuas make a lot of nice. The Bengal Tiger doesn't have to.
What makes people want to emulate Curry is that his style of play doesn’t really have physical limitations compared to someone like Shaq. Curry really makes you feel like anyone could succeed in the NBA
I think Steph Curry’s greatness compared to other greats is like comparing relative strength to absolute strength. A guy like Curry is not supposed to dominate the way he does in this league…his “relative strength” is off the charts!
I believe one of the reasons Magic didn’t last long as a GM/Executive is because he’s too candid. Too real in the way he presents himself to not constantly get in trouble with the NBA and his bosses.
Nah it's cause the big takes most of the shine... In today's NBA teams that have leading PGs don't help th by getting them a dominant centre who will free them up and let eat easy buckets
What makes Steph so great? He moves like a ninja with moments of childish joy mixed with a killer competitive edge. And Do Not Make Steph Mad! Also - it's OK to make Steph Mad - showtime! ⚡💫💙 💥 💛
Steph curry is number one NBA PERSON EVER------- between his off the court persona and pureness and humility----- his gorgeous character ! ! Then his OUT OF THIS WORLD SHOOTING 3 ABILITY AND UNTOUCHABLE HANDLES ------ TO ME HE IS NBA SUPERSTAR NUMBER 1.
I always said this curry is jus as dangerous without the ball than he is with the ball that’s what separates him from everyone els oh yea and he conditioned like a soccer player don’t get tired
Steph also has ELITE finishing skills around the rim. I think I remember seeing a stat along the lines of Steph shooting almost 73% from around the basket, 2nd only to DeAaron Fox in terms of number of attempts and efficiency.
@Purger Of Souls A.I. caught a lot of flak and he certainly isn't appreciated, look at that man's career stats, number don't lie, he just could not get that illusive championship. Both A.I. and Steph are underappreciated because of their size in addition Steph is not a Nike guy and Nike owns the NBA.
@@sms-g3r People don't see that finals and MVP conversation in the NBA are of business matter also... They prioritize whenever they could those Nike endorser players.😅
@@rldsmith86factssssss I’m biased because Steph and iverson are my two favorite players of all time but I wish iverson got his flowers, me personally much respect to wade but I think if you gave Lebron iverson nobody would’ve stopped them on that heat finals run. I got iverson slightly above wade but im on an island with that take. A.i carried Philly to the title and showed out game 1 vs lakers, he carried that team wayyy past what they should’ve been. I don’t see wade doing that on that sixers squad. For me, on all time shooting guards, give me 1 Jordan 2Kobe and Allen iverson was the 3rd best shooting guard in nba history. If a.i had a real team I swear people would be talking about him the way he deserves. Greatest crossover ever, toughness hustle on the court and he had that killer mentality that only Jordan and Kobe had as shooting guards iverson was right up there. Kobe said there was nobody he’d rather guard less then Allen iverson,
There was a play that Chris Broussard analysed some years back. Cavs vs Warriors with KD. Theres a turnover and fast break with KD, JR Smith is the last man back, Steph is up with KD, Steph stops at the three and KD is charging, JR goes to shut down Steph at the 3 point line and leaves KD free all the way to the bucket. The three is normally the worst or riskiest shot you can take on a fast break with a guy closing you out...But JR knew that Steph makes that quite laughable in his universe...
I’m a knicks fan since childhood, but Steph made me a fan the night he dropped 54 in the garden … it was amazing! He’s special… watching him play is joyous!
I don’t think so. Bigs will always take longer to stop and shift directions. It’s a law of physics. Gianni’s couldn’t move like Steph or kyrie. He too big
If Steph has not proven himself by now .. then I don’t know when .. ive never enjoyed watching anyone play as much as him in 50 years of watching basketball and I’ve watched all the past greats and they are worthy of their accolades… so is Steph …
@@judyclarkson5887 Not winning a championship has nothing to do with being called small though. Chris Paul doesnt get called small and he is smaller than Steph is all Im saying. If people actually spoke on Iverson's real height, what he did would be that much more phenominal.
@@AxxinTheSupernova Hmmmm... Maybe Im missing something here but I've never come across upon any basketball discussions which focus on the size of the players except when it's related to ones who lead their team to the championships (bcos of its rarity). Oftentimes teams need a frontcourt star (leader) to get them to the promised land. I've never heard ppl bothered about Steve Nash for example won 2 mvp and then relate it to his size which is small.
Keep in mind that Magic has known Steph his whole life (Steph grew up IN the NBA bc his dad played in that era.) So it is obvious that era had an impact/influence on his mentality. That is something the casual overlooks, but it STILL makes a huge difference when you think about it.
Steph is just special. His dad,, Reggie Miller, Ray Allen were all great three point shooters but kids growing up didn’t want to be like them. Steph comes along with his razzle dazzle Harlem Globe Trotter-esque warmups and game three point shots bringing fun and joy and pure entertainment to the game and all of a sudden everyone wants to be him.
Reggie was the closest thing to Steph and he only did amazing stuff once in a while. Steph is like Reggie miller at his hottest, but then never cools down. Like if Reggie got hot shooting threes forever.
i think people who grew up in the 90s and especially subsequent decades aren't used to the absolute best players being good people. we don't even like them because we want them to be "defiant" in some way, even if it's not something principled like Mohammad Ali's refusal to serve in Vietnam
100% his skin color is irrelevant. Curry is a killer despite being mixed. I swear the nba old heads hate Steph because he broke the mold as to what an all time legend is supposed to look like and how he should play. They don’t like a guard that broke the game and changed the game the way he wanted to. Steph is top 10 solely based on changing the game of basketball for better or worse, he’s still that guy
Steph would destroy other eras they don’t want to admit though. There were like 2 or 3 elite perimeter defenders in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s. Gary Peyton, Scott Pippen, Joe Dumars to name the big names. But we watch Steph torch defenders on a daily. In those eras paint Defense was priority you never seen anybody get picked up full court. Steph would eat
2016 Steph would kill everyone on the perimeter with his speed and quick handles. But 2021 Steph would be more deadly with his bulked up body and mentality
It’s funny when people try to slam Steph as weak or soft or just some lucky product of the era. As if the skill set he’s armed with could ever be shut down by any era. Best range in history, best shooter in history, quickest release in history, can do it off the pass or the dribble. Elite handles, elite court vision (if he didn’t play off the ball so much he’d easily average 9+ assists). He’d have flipped the game on its head in any era. The problems he’d present are the same… Cover him from 30 Ft out or get destroyed. Defenses in prior eras had no comfort zone with sending 2 guys or having bigs rotate to 30 ft from the basket. Steph has far more talent and skill than many allstar players from the 80’s or 90’s… I mean he’s at worst a top 12 all time player. He’d have the same impact no matter when he joined the league.
Magic Johnson is the greatest PG of all time! Steph's playing style leans towards that of a shooting guard. He doesn't boast the highest shooting percentage, the most assists, the most wins, defensive prowess, the most championships, the most MVP awards, dunks, steals, blocks, or even control of the offense, as evidenced by his time of possession. What often goes unnoticed is the incredible influence of Steph's fanbase in today's era, rivaling even the historic following of Michael Jordan. It's akin to Drake's devoted fans who refuse to accept any losses in his rap beefs with Common and Pusha T. Some may argue that it's a form of collective delusion. The sole notable achievement Steph has secured (late in his career, given his aging status) is the record for the most three-pointers made. Comparatively, Steph can be likened to Reggie Miller but with superior ball-handling skills, and even Reggie Miller had to contend with guarding Michael Jordan. The question arises: who has Steph truly shut down in terms of defensive matchups? Moreover, the ongoing discourse about Steph being the greatest point guard contrasts with the undeniable fact that Russell Westbrook could be seen as the LeBron James of point guards, despite not having an NBA championship ring to his name.
Hard to argue that lineup. Honorable mentions or personal favorites for me would include: Kevin Johnson, John Stktn, Dennis Johnson, Steve Nash, Kobe (sort of a PG), Tony Parker, Chris Paul.....
No they haven't and never will dummy.. Steph is a top 10 player all time.. And he is not just the greatest shooter of all time.. He can do every single thing offensively at an elite level and the only player who draws the whole team on him every single time. Even his defense from last 2 years has been thunderous..
Don't forget about dennis Johnson. When he played with the Seattle SuperSonics 1978 1979 back to back to the NBA finals against the Washington Bullets in 1978 they lost 1979 they won the NBA Championship.
Where do you rank Steph Curry amongst the greatest PGs of all-time?
🎧: sprtspod.fox/Ep.57
Curry is good but he doesn't have that Magic Johnson IQ.....he doesn't make his teammates better. Cp3 and Westbrook are individually better than Curry

They don’t like a guard that broke the game and changed the game the way he wanted to. Steph is top 10 solely based on changing the game of basketball for better or worse, he’s still that guy
It feels like it’s the bron and Kd fans always mentioning stephs skin color.
Even the goat point guard spitting facts about his Lil bro
Appreciate both their games.
Magic achieved more single amd team accolades in 3 less seasons though. Thats what they play for afterall, right?
1:MJ
2:Lebron
3:kobe
4:Steph
5:Shaq
Magic definitely above Kobe and bron. Sorry. And Steph above them too.
Them flowers 🌸 ‼️ Much respect
Baby Face Assassin sometimes shot from the other end of the court ⛹️
Just described the 🐐
Well said
i dont care who is the goat or goat PG but ill take steph if i make a team
and some people say they're against kids emulating Steph.....because of stuff they thought up..on their own
Steph the GOAT.
Steph would destroy other eras they don’t want to admit though. There were like 2 or 3 elite perimeter defenders in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s. Gary Peyton, Scott Pippen, Joe Dumars to name the big names. But we watch Steph torch defenders on a daily. In those eras paint Defense was priority you never seen anybody get picked up full court. Steph would eat
2016 Steph would kill everyone on the perimeter with his speed and quick handles. But 2021 Steph would be more deadly with his bulked up body and mentality
Dont 4get he takes it to tha basket🏀🦾

It’s funny when people try to slam Steph as weak or soft or just some lucky product of the era. As if the skill set he’s armed with could ever be shut down by any era. Best range in history, best shooter in history, quickest release in history, can do it off the pass or the dribble. Elite handles, elite court vision (if he didn’t play off the ball so much he’d easily average 9+ assists). He’d have flipped the game on its head in any era. The problems he’d present are the same… Cover him from 30 Ft out or get destroyed. Defenses in prior eras had no comfort zone with sending 2 guys or having bigs rotate to 30 ft from the basket. Steph has far more talent and skill than many allstar players from the 80’s or 90’s… I mean he’s at worst a top 12 all time player. He’d have the same impact no matter when he joined the league.
did you hear that , Magic put steph in the mount rushmore ! "STOPHATINGONSTEPH"
Let haters be haters pal. Who knows that it might be one thing that keeps Steph going strong in his current age now.
Jordan, Kobe, Lebron and Steph. The Mt. Rushmore of modern day NBA.
2023 NBA Champion Golden State Warriors, God willing!
Love u magic
Magic Johnson is the greatest PG of all time!
Steph's playing style leans towards that of a shooting guard. He doesn't boast the highest shooting percentage, the most assists, the most wins, defensive prowess, the most championships, the most MVP awards, dunks, steals, blocks, or even control of the offense, as evidenced by his time of possession. What often goes unnoticed is the incredible influence of Steph's fanbase in today's era, rivaling even the historic following of Michael Jordan. It's akin to Drake's devoted fans who refuse to accept any losses in his rap beefs with Common and Pusha T. Some may argue that it's a form of collective delusion.
The sole notable achievement Steph has secured (late in his career, given his aging status) is the record for the most three-pointers made. Comparatively, Steph can be likened to Reggie Miller but with superior ball-handling skills, and even Reggie Miller had to contend with guarding Michael Jordan. The question arises: who has Steph truly shut down in terms of defensive matchups?
Moreover, the ongoing discourse about Steph being the greatest point guard contrasts with the undeniable fact that Russell Westbrook could be seen as the LeBron James of point guards, despite not having an NBA championship ring to his name.
Steph clears
Best player in the world
Rip Hamilton never stopped running.
Top 5 PGs imo
Magic
Steph
Oscar
Isiah
Kidd
No Stockton ?
Hard to argue that lineup. Honorable mentions or personal favorites for me would include: Kevin Johnson, John Stktn, Dennis Johnson, Steve Nash, Kobe (sort of a PG), Tony Parker, Chris Paul.....
One of the only people I’ve seen give Kidd his flowers. You know ball
@@azdbuk Kobe is not even close to being a Point Guard. I don't think Kobe EVER passed the ball.
Steph Curry is not a point guard
Magic: we've never seen someone run off screens like this before
Ray Allen, Rip Hamilton and Klay have entered the chat
As a Number 1 Option, As The Guy, As Him……. Those guys you mentioning aren’t multiple MVP winners 😒
Not to the level of Steph that's for sure
Size is the key factor, he’s smaller than those guys
No they haven't and never will dummy..
Steph is a top 10 player all time.. And he is not just the greatest shooter of all time.. He can do every single thing offensively at an elite level and the only player who draws the whole team on him every single time. Even his defense from last 2 years has been thunderous..
@@shlokgaur4030 overrated
Top 3 Point Guard of all time. He is not #3.
It’s crazy how one of the coldest players biggest trash talkers is “soft “
Magic definitely is easy to listen to
Don't forget about dennis
Johnson. When he played with the Seattle SuperSonics 1978 1979 back to back to the NBA finals against the Washington Bullets in 1978 they lost 1979 they won the NBA Championship.
Yo Shannon, you're a work of art fam. Love what you're doing brody. Don't take your fot of the gas pedal. Til da wheel fall off.
Example for the youngens.
POV your Shannon: right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right right
Allen Iverson is probably the guard I think of that carried a team to the finals
A few years ago I read that Curry runs about two miles...during every game.
Jesus !
Every kids fave player is Steph Curry 💯 He made the entire world 🌎 want to shoot 3 pointers 💯✅
