Steph's scoring title in '20-21 is so underrated. That GSW roster was *so* depleted and everybody knew who was getting the ball, yet he *still* averaged 32 points. The dude is psycho.
I agree that season made me a huge fan of his because he had to literally put the team on his back and without him they wouldn't have even made the play in!
I watched every game of his that season and it was so incredibly entertaining, I’ll never forget his 62 point game against Portland it was the literal definition of someone being unconscious. Looking at the roster that year you would never think that a team like that could be so entertaining but that just goes to show how great Curry was that season.
it's crazy how steph's legacy was absolutely cemented as a certified GOAT after 2022, yet he somehow blasted his legacy even further after carrying USA to gold in the 2024 olympics 😂🐐🐐
He would still need to prove himself. Its like every season he is proving himself He is imo, every time theres a narrative against steph. Imagine people saying Stephs shots weren't clutch in the Olympics?
@@SomeAverage3Dudewell there was a point in his career where steph was not clutch at all. he obviously fixed that but from his rookie year to like 2021 or so, he literally shot like 8% from the field in the clutch

@@rickystackss lies. From 2013 and on, Steph has always been clutch. He's got the most game winners since 2014. That's just a very dumb narrative that media threw out there. And stop lying, how can he possibly shoot 8% in the clutch?
Im glad steph go his credit in 22. Cause the stupid people who discredit him for no having FMVP were ridiculous. Everybody knew Curry should had won the 15 one.
2015 would have an asterisk anyway because the Cavs were injured. 2022 was his first *real* chip but I'm glad he got it. It's really sad though that he cowardly invited KD to join him in 2016.

@@HypocritesExposdplus when KD missed games, warriors won by more points than when KD played. They only needed KD for one matchup vs Bron because Steph almost never has a tall player to defend other tall players and KD solved that.

They both got double teamed. I hate when people act like all of KDs shots were wide open and every shot from Steph was contested. They both helped each other get more open looks
In that season where he averaged 32 ppg when he was on the floor they were as high as the 5th seed that season , when he got hurt thats when they dropped. In fact they ran the stat and when steph WAS NOT ON THE FLOOR, they were the worst team in the last 30 years. They were that bad,

@@WalterTalksSports No doubt! It was and always has been Steph's team. You can call Draymond the heart, call KD the best player but that team was at its best when 30 was at his best. Nobody talks about how Steph Curry was getting doubled teamed either. KD had his most efficient seasons in GS for a reason.
One thing thats ultimately unfair for Steph's legacy was the fact that without any of his core teammates, while averaging 32ppg, Steph led his team to 7th in the tough west. That would have made the playoffs in any other season before, but that also happened to be the year they started the play-in tournament. I like to think that affected his MVP chances that season, but even aside from that, it would have definitely cemented his ability to lead teams to the playoffs without help.
The play in is stupid and unfair to the 7th and 8th seeds. Sometimes the 9th and 10th seeds aren’t even .500 teams, so they don’t deserve to be in the playoffs at all.
@HypocritesExposd yeah, they should have some kind of cut off. If the 9th and 10th teams arent close enough to 7th and 8th then there shouldn't be a play in. Like at most 5 games back. If its a larger gap than that just get rid of the play in all together
Countless times Steph didn’t even play the 4th quarter. He even was a minute or two away from breaking personal records but Kerr wouldn’t care and would sit him in the 4th if GSW have a large margin.
I’m worried about the rest of the team. 2022 had lightning in a bottle, OPJ playing 60+ games. But if Wiggs and Kuminga play as well as I think they can, sure the Dubs can compete with anyone.
Wiggins has to play and it has to be similar to the 22 season. I think Kuminga is going to grow exponentially this year which help out so much if they make the playoffs. But they've looked real good in preaseson.
Wigs and kuminga and trace can’t guard bigs like opj. They don’t have that old man strength yet. They skinny. And opj makes big time clutch shots. He never seemed shook. Young guys usually aren’t that clutch.
@@AR-rn8ok I mostly agree, but I refuse to have any doubts about Trayce. He started out better than expected and has improved every time in the floor. Kerr just has to trust his ability to make adjustments in game and stay put if foul trouble. But most young bigs have the same problem. Also I was an OPJ truther for years. So for him to have the perfect season with my hometown team was so validating
@@5lim.0 if trace wants to be a serviceable undersized big, he needs to outrun and out condition other bigs, and he needs to develop a decent three point shot so they can’t leave him wide open, to at least hit 35% in games he’s gotta be hitting 40% at practice. Plus training staff need someone with weight and height for him to practice with.
@@AR-rn8ok You realize Loon and Trayce are basically the same height tho right? And Trayce is already a much better rim protector and rim runner/lob threat. Loon rarely shoots middies but has been adding that more the last 3 years. Loon is overall a better defender and maybe still the better player rn, but Trayce is only starting year 2.
Before the pre seaoson started i had the dubs missing the play in let alone failing to make the playoffs. But currently idk what to expect for this team but ill definitely be rooting for curry
That 2020/21 season was his best season in my eyes. In 2016, you can see he had spacing. There was no spacing in 2021, no other superstar, depleted injured team, getting triple teamed at half court and still had the greatest shooting month of all time in April 2021 People might forget that season, but I will never. He had to show everyone he is still HIM.
Agreed. 2021 was his best individual season. He had the worst supporting roster of his career, was injured for lots of games which dropped them to 7th, and the stupid play in happens.
it's crazy how time flies. Went from rooting for the underdog warriors pre-2016, prayed for their downfall as soon as KD slithered his way over there, then felt a lil bad when it was just Steph and a rebuilding squad, then 2022 happened and I forgot how much hatred I had for this team. And now you're telling me we're in the final stages of this dynasty
2022 was one of the most impressive championships runs I’ve ever seen. I thought they dynasty ended in 2019 losing durant, klay coming off 2 major surgeries. That really made me respect steph in another level
@@jdapaul1351if I could change 1 thing in NBA history it would be Draymonds suspension. If I could change 2 it would be the injuries in 2019. Could have been a fourpeat
that was the best Warriors I have seen, it ultimately ended up in Cav's side when Steph fucked his knee, the best defender in the roster Green being suspended, and the only inside big rebounder Bogut getting injured in game 5 and never returning.
Steph been destroying his haters since getting drafted. No one believed in him and doubted him on every level. Mind u Steph had glass ankles at the start and literally won championship and mvps on a bargain contracts. Steph been a first ballot hall of famer since his unanimous mvp in my opinion. And its even more clear at the 22 chip and his recent carry towards the last 2 crucial games for the Olympics. They "blew" the 3-1 lead because they just ran out of gas having the best regular season record. Steph was playing on 1 leg in the playoffs and teammates were in and out due to injuries. Ofc the main instigator and issue was drays antics getting his suspended and firing up the cavs.
They didn’t run out of gas. 1. Refs lopsided as hell in games 4,5,6. 2. Dray and Steph were ejected from games. 3. Jr smith dove into bogusts knees, he was warriors only rim protector. Suddenly after that Lebron could score at will again when warriors have no rim protection, and Harrison Barnes missed every single three in all the last four games. If he even made one, the warriors win that year too.
Curry has at least 3 of the top 15 coldest moments in history. Dribbles through entire clippers 2014 OKC half court game winner 2016 Pick any No look 3 Ring point in 3rd quarter 2022 Olympics daggers 2024
In like 2019 I was starting to think kd was like 11th 12th while curry was like 15th. Now curry is undoubtedly a top 9 player all time while kd is like 15th all time
It’s not the shot it’s the overall performances in both elimination rounds and the way he dominated the opponents. He was unguardsble. May as well have been sitting around shooting open jumpers because defenders didn’t phase him at all, even coming at him two at a time.
Props to Swishout for this video! You really laid out all the facts-Steph has crushed every narrative over the years. From leading the Warriors to multiple titles to that 2022 Finals MVP, his legacy is solidified. Anyone still doubting him just isn’t paying attention. This breakdown was 🔥🙌.”
The crazy part about the 2021 season is that before the tailbone injury the warriors were on pace for 5th seed and without some of the 20pt+ leads blown in the 4th qt they could have made it to 4th seed Steph would have undoubtedly gotten a 3rd MVP. Also the dumbest narrative about steph is the "hes not clutch" i still remember that dumb ESPN video about him being 0-12 in go ahead shots
It’s crazy how Steph basically let KD be “the guy” and then never got recognized for it. KD has yet to find another teammate who will let him be “the guy”.
Nobody should disrespect Curry as he and the GSW Warriors has been the most dominant team in past 20 years. He won 4x in Lebron's era. Mind you, his 3 rings was against Lebron. He should be considered this generations best. Numbers, accolade and rings cemented it.
@@TheRealPaulyD Does 15-7 ring a bell? That's their finals record kid. GSW won 15x over Lebron in the finals. Lebron only manages 7 games. That's less than 50%. Swept once and a gentleman's sweep once. Not even close! Educate yourself.
@@TheRealPaulyD LeBron has a physical advantage over Steph. If Bron was the same height as Curry, would he be as dominant and impactful? I think he'd be like Westbrook or D-Rose.
I’m a life long Knicks fan 56 years , but Steph Curry is my favorite player …. He plays with such joy , heart , and love of the game you can NOT help but enjoy watching him play . At least I do . Then add in that he by all accounts is an all around good guy , just seals it. He’s a great ambassador to the NBA , and I hope he gets one more ring before he retires . Great video I enjoyed watching .
it's unlikely, but a 5th ring should end the goat pg debate. especially if its with this current team. again, unlikely and probably won't happen, but if it does 🔥
I appreciate giving Steph some love while he's still playing. Don't like how the media downplay his achievements sometimes. I believe Steph still has a championship or 2 left in him but we'll see how things go. I wish them the best this season.
I definitely when Steph Curry got injured overall and have a left hand injury as a whole and Damian Lillard just took over as one of the best guards of the league at the time and Steph Curry when he came back had to remind the world why he's one of the best player in basketball and definitely showed he can still play at a high level.🏀
Steph, becoming the first unanimous MVP at that being back to back, also led his team to a 73-9 record that feat cemented his legacy for me and many, however he had goals in mind and strived for more. "He's a silent assassin on the court, a certain calm about - Kobe Bryant. 💜💛
To me steph and bron and maybe kd it depends on how im feeling their legacys cant be hurt moving forward with their careers its like mj on the wizards it doesn't matter if they completely fall off a cliff and absolutely suck now for what they did in their primes they are legends regardless no matter what happens moving forward their careers wont be tarnished to me. The rest of their careers is just icing the extra awards and accolades they can get before their done
9:60 bro u was right steph should have won mvp that year golden state finished 8th but got knocked out by memphis in the playoffs in.. i never understood why they randomly made a tournament when before that it was straight 8th seed
The way the Warriors looked in pre-season, if they are able to carry that into the regular season with the roster they have: Ring #5 may be a very serious possibility. I still have concerns about their size and I think they can afford to trade about 2-3 of those rotation guys + 1-2 draft picks for that legit star-level big man who can address those concerns while STILL having a roster that's 11-12 guys deep. Or maybe not, maybe this roster is enough and they just need one of the other 10 guys not named Steph or Draymond to step up and emerge as a star player: Either Wiggins finds his '22 self or Kuminga makes that leap as he has steadily been doing. But if they actually do manage to make a title run and Steph gets his 5th + a Finals MVP and maybe even a 3rd MVP depending on how they do in the regular season... I'm gonna have to make some changes to my Top 10 GOAT list if that happens.
2014-15 advanced stats Curry #1 in WS/48 at 0.288. Harden #4 at 0.265 Curry #3 in PER at 28.0. Harden #4 at 26.7 Curry #1 in BPM at 9.9. Harden #3 at 8.8 However. Harden #1 in WS (16.4) and VORP with Curry being #3 in WS at 15.7 and #2 in VORP at 6.9. Nah Curry deserved it. Also the Warriors were 67-15 that season.
I was always a Spur Fan until the Great Tim Duncan retired. The Admiral David Robinson and Tim Duncan were never attention seekers. They let their games did the talking. If Classy was a Person! Those men are the definition. I looked around the league and found this guy Steph Curry he had just came in the league and I fell in love with him. He reminded me of Tim Duncan some what. He was never an attention seeker and he was not that popular. There was something fascinating about him. Folks started to talk but there was always the Haters/ Talking Heads and he has proven them wrong time and time again. The 2022 NBa Finals and 2024 Olympics is it for me. Steph Curry the Phenom showed up big time on the World Wide Stage. I never doubted him the Haters came out once more. I defended him on every negative comments. The two last games ended the Haters. If he never won another ring in the NBA again NO PROBLEM! 2022 NBA Finals was the best ever. No other final, Bucks,Toronto, Nuggets and Boston was not as exciting. They are 1 Championship and done. Warriors 4 Championships . I am Good, Steph Curry the Phenom who can stand next to him? Only the great Lebron James King. When these men retire don't know what the NBA will be like. Only youngmen bringing back the 80's andb90"s with the baby mama's drama and their brainless BBL women. They don't have time to craft their games to make a difference too busy flanting their lifestyle and low self esteem. Nuff Respect to Steph Curry the Phenom. He will never be defeated!😂✌️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Curry>>>>>>>>>>>>Lebron>Durant Only Jordan/Kobe/Magic are clearly ahead of him, you could argue Kareem, Bird or Duncan too. But no one else, at least none of the ringchasers of this era.
@@TheRealPaulyD actually he did. Bron just put up more ppg rpg apg stats cause the warriors played him in single coverage. AKA the kinda defense you play on scrubs
Bro when KD said that it was the ultimate lack of integrity that’s why he joined gsw, and more importantly that’s why he had success there. Messed with the bball gods on that one.
Bro I remember in 2015 when Steph was making those outlandish deep threes and the narrative was that he was just getting “lucky” and it was just a “phase” fast forward to 2024 and that didn’t age well at all 😭
4:29 As a kid I hated Kerr for taking out curry or Klay or KD before the 4th quater. Now I understand why, if he didn’t curry would probably average 40ppg and Klay would’ve scored 80 against Indiana or had 20+ threes in late 2018.
As a kid (6 year old) 2014-15 season was my first nba season that I fully watched and I needed a team/favorite player. I became a fan of curry and the warriors during the three point contest which he won. My older brother was a lebron fan and he tried to make me one two but I just was to fascinated by curry, Klay, and the warriors. You can just imagine how it was 2015-18 NBA FINALS me and my brother favorite player/team squaring off for the championship for 4 years straight
1:20 Curry is definitely in the same stage kobe was in 2014 but not Lebron in 2018-19 cause Curry and Kobe stayed with their team and didn't want to leave so they had to go through a rebuild while Lebron joined a rebuilding young team in the lakers and disbanded them.
I’ve said this time and time again, Steph honestly has nothing to prove! As much as I love KD, and I know I’m gonna get heat for this but GS didn’t need him. All four titles with the same team, unanimous MVP and undoubtedly the perfect season minus the loss against Cleveland in 15-16.
Those of us who know, we know. Damn the narratives. The crazy thing is the only other 2 dudes even in the same world as Steph the last 10 years....Lebron and KD....they also know and always give Steph what he deserves. Nobody else matters. That 21 year was insane. The guy took literally the worst NBA team of the last 30 years and had them in the 5 seed!!! He has been dominating the league without question since 2014.
It’s preseason so not gonna read to much into it. But if the warriors make a move to get Lavine cause he would fit that system like a glove then they could definitely make some noise.
@@YeshuaMyGod Trace and Draymon can fill the C minutes. Curry has never really needed a c. He needs another player to take the scoring load off of him or he’s going to burn out
@@thicybriky That will be Kuminga, wiggins, MOODY, buddy, podz, melton, waters...all of them can score. We need a footer for AD, Jokic, Giannis...even guys like Zubac give us problems.
@@thicybriky Nah he was saying AD/Jokic are problems for us and we need a 7 footer to deal with them. Though I think Dray on AD seems to work more often than not for some reason.
Amazing breakdown of Curry’s career and his impact! But do you think Steph would have been as successful if he didn’t have Klay and Draymond by his side for most of his career?
Do you think Green and Klay would have been successful without Steph? We've already seen Steph with a 3rd year Klay and 2nd year Green in 2013 amd 2014 lead GS. Green didn't start till 2015 after DLee got hurt man 🤦🏾♂️. Steph in 2020-21 season with no Klay with just a bunch of G leaguers, and Mr. Triple Single himself led GS to an 39-33 record in a shortened season and after missing 10 games which GS went 1-8 without him. Steph has always made them better tbh and when you look at Klay's and Green's past playoff performances, they're far more inconsistent and have spurts, or few series where they played decent!
I always stand by Steph being my 2021 mvp… To me he was still better than KD…. Steph was just magical that year! If he didn’t injure his tailbone then they would have made the playoffs!
Steph Curry so good he made people think Klay and Dray are stars and both of them below average!!! Poole got a franchise ticket… now he below average… iggy was in the league for a decade never broke average… all of a sudden he a star a finals MVP a father in the death lineup. Wiggs was a bust for. Decades boom 1 yr with Steph he’s starting in the all star game and people still ain’t figured it out yet
@@omarg8481 you are delusional!!! Steph has been Steph before he ever met Draymond. We have seen Steph without Draymond. He was 2nd runner up for MVP. We have seen Draymond without Steph he lost his start job to Eric Pascal. Steph needing Draymond or anyone else only exist in media narratives
@@omarg8481 how easily you forget Steph broke his hand and dray was absolutely terrible not a couple games but for and entire season!!!! He wasn’t out there being a top 5 nothing Mr. Triple single was closer to a bottom 5…. Yes when everyone is triple teaming curry he does a pretty good job standing in the dunker waiting for Steph to make a play for him because teams leave him wide open because he’s no threat… and he’s basic enough not to completely mess that up so he makes the easy 3 on 1 play… but it stops there he could easily be gone and Steph would still be Steph and his ego is to big and it makes him to expensive he can pack his bags tomorrow and everyone else he hinders will instantly be better..: if they shipped him out when they where supposed to they would have 2 maybe 3 more rings right now
@@omarg8481 Just like saying Curry won't be Curry without Klay but Steph is find without Klay just add two more shooter in the team and he is fine. Draymond is draymond but Dray's ability is available in other player. His assist was inflated because he played with two great shooters in history.
4:25: **Lowest minutes played for anyone confused

The point to the finger while still in the 3rd quarter is still one of the coldest Steph Curry moment
It seemed like the Celtics were wide eyed and scared when they saw him pointing at that finger.

Plus training staff need someone with weight and height for him to practice with.
@@AR-rn8ok You realize Loon and Trayce are basically the same height tho right? And Trayce is already a much better rim protector and rim runner/lob threat. Loon rarely shoots middies but has been adding that more the last 3 years. Loon is overall a better defender and maybe still the better player rn, but Trayce is only starting year 2.
Before the pre seaoson started i had the dubs missing the play in let alone failing to make the playoffs.
But currently idk what to expect for this team but ill definitely be rooting for curry
Another Swishout banger, we need a Paolo video he finna have a monster season
That 2020/21 season was his best season in my eyes.
In 2016, you can see he had spacing.
There was no spacing in 2021, no other superstar, depleted injured team,
getting triple teamed at half court and still had the greatest shooting month of all time in April 2021
People might forget that season, but I will never. He had to show everyone he is still HIM.
Agreed. 2021 was his best individual season. He had the worst supporting roster of his career, was injured for lots of games which dropped them to 7th, and the stupid play in happens.
it's crazy how time flies. Went from rooting for the underdog warriors pre-2016, prayed for their downfall as soon as KD slithered his way over there, then felt a lil bad when it was just Steph and a rebuilding squad, then 2022 happened and I forgot how much hatred I had for this team. And now you're telling me we're in the final stages of this dynasty
That NOOOOO! From Shannon is still funny today 😂😂😂😂
2022 was one of the most impressive championships runs I’ve ever seen. I thought they dynasty ended in 2019 losing durant, klay coming off 2 major surgeries. That really made me respect steph in another level
2016 forgotten? By who? That's was arguably the best season ever in nba history 😂
Fr i was gonna say that.. he trippin 😂😂😂
Steph haters will gladly forget that shit
@@jamesv6241 they'll always say, "Warriors blew a 3-1 lead"
@@jdapaul1351if I could change 1 thing in NBA history it would be Draymonds suspension. If I could change 2 it would be the injuries in 2019. Could have been a fourpeat
that was the best Warriors I have seen, it ultimately ended up in Cav's side when Steph fucked his knee, the best defender in the roster Green being suspended, and the only inside big rebounder Bogut getting injured in game 5 and never returning.
The last 2 months of the 2021 season felt so crazy to watch he averaged 40 and went nuclear once per game it waa psychedelic to watch
Steph been destroying his haters since getting drafted. No one believed in him and doubted him on every level. Mind u Steph had glass ankles at the start and literally won championship and mvps on a bargain contracts. Steph been a first ballot hall of famer since his unanimous mvp in my opinion. And its even more clear at the 22 chip and his recent carry towards the last 2 crucial games for the Olympics. They "blew" the 3-1 lead because they just ran out of gas having the best regular season record. Steph was playing on 1 leg in the playoffs and teammates were in and out due to injuries. Ofc the main instigator and issue was drays antics getting his suspended and firing up the cavs.
They didn’t run out of gas. 1. Refs lopsided as hell in games 4,5,6. 2. Dray and Steph were ejected from games. 3. Jr smith dove into bogusts knees, he was warriors only rim protector. Suddenly after that Lebron could score at will again when warriors have no rim protection, and Harrison Barnes missed every single three in all the last four games. If he even made one, the warriors win that year too.
1of1, our Bay Area Superhero
Before that 'chip plus Finals MVP Steph Curry's hate was incredible crazy. After it... The silence of success
Curry has at least 3 of the top 15 coldest moments in history.
Dribbles through entire clippers 2014

Curry top 10... Durant isn't... just that simple

In like 2019 I was starting to think kd was like 11th 12th while curry was like 15th. Now curry is undoubtedly a top 9 player all time while kd is like 15th all time
4:56 I promise you no one forgot about curry’s 2016 season 😂😂
That shot in the Olympics cemented him as one of the greatest for me forsure
It’s not the shot it’s the overall performances in both elimination rounds and the way he dominated the opponents. He was unguardsble. May as well have been sitting around shooting open jumpers because defenders didn’t phase him at all, even coming at him two at a time.
Props to Swishout for this video! You really laid out all the facts-Steph has crushed every narrative over the years. From leading the Warriors to multiple titles to that 2022 Finals MVP, his legacy is solidified. Anyone still doubting him just isn’t paying attention. This breakdown was 🔥🙌.”
Crazy How i Still Remember When Skip Bayless Saying He Put David Robinson Karl Malone & Bill Walton Over Steph Curry that had Me Ctfu
Skip is more of a joke than the Joker 2 movie
@@HypocritesExposd😂😂😂
The crazy part about the 2021 season is that before the tailbone injury the warriors were on pace for 5th seed and without some of the 20pt+ leads blown in the 4th qt they could have made it to 4th seed
Steph would have undoubtedly gotten a 3rd MVP. Also the dumbest narrative about steph is the "hes not clutch" i still remember that dumb ESPN video about him being 0-12 in go ahead shots
Love the instrumentals you use. Makes sense a goat like you would recognize a goat like cordae
2016 is NOT forgotten bro 😭😭💀💀💀😹😹
It’s crazy how Steph basically let KD be “the guy” and then never got recognized for it. KD has yet to find another teammate who will let him be “the guy”.
Exactly
Warriors looking good in the preseason ala 2022.. looking forward to this
Nobody should disrespect Curry as he and the GSW Warriors has been the most dominant team in past 20 years. He won 4x in Lebron's era. Mind you, his 3 rings was against Lebron. He should be considered this generations best. Numbers, accolade and rings cemented it.
Not a chance… Every time Steph and LeBron matched up it was clear Steph wasn’t the same caliber of player as LeBron…
@@TheRealPaulyD type of player, no. caliber of player, absolutely
@@TheRealPaulyD Does 15-7 ring a bell? That's their finals record kid. GSW won 15x over Lebron in the finals. Lebron only manages 7 games. That's less than 50%. Swept once and a gentleman's sweep once. Not even close! Educate yourself.
@@TheRealPaulyD LeBron has a physical advantage over Steph. If Bron was the same height as Curry, would he be as dominant and impactful? I think he'd be like Westbrook or D-Rose.
@@EdwardWindhowlummm sir don’t forget Kyrie was hurt in 2015 and 2018 we all had that L stamped on Lebron 🤦🏽♂️yall do this with no contexts
The four your eyes only instrumental takes the cake 👌
I’m a life long Knicks fan 56 years , but Steph Curry is my favorite player …. He plays with such joy , heart , and love of the game you can NOT help but enjoy watching him play . At least I do . Then add in that he by all accounts is an all around good guy , just seals it.
He’s a great ambassador to the NBA , and I hope he gets one more ring before he retires . Great video I enjoyed watching .
Great content Swish . Still remember how people were ranking Dame above him the year he got hurt and Steph dropped 62 once he came back
it's unlikely, but a 5th ring should end the goat pg debate. especially if its with this current team. again, unlikely and probably won't happen, but if it does 🔥
As a warriors hater, i love steph. I respect that man through it all.
bro thank you for making this video. people are gonna forget, but this video will be there to remind them
I appreciate giving Steph some love while he's still playing. Don't like how the media downplay his achievements sometimes.
I believe Steph still has a championship or 2 left in him but we'll see how things go. I wish them the best this season.
Great Video Swish 💪🏽
Steph Curry destroyed a lot of narratives and some of them were so ridiculous as a whole there.🏀
Great beat selection slay like Santa hits everytime
Steph already is arguably top 10. If he wins this chip. He is top 10 AT LEAST NO Q ASKED
Steph is already top 10 after the Olympic performance in Paris.
6:30 I zoned after hearing Cole’s beat
I definitely when Steph Curry got injured overall and have a left hand injury as a whole and Damian Lillard just took over as one of the best guards of the league at the time and Steph Curry when he came back had to remind the world why he's one of the best player in basketball and definitely showed he can still play at a high level.🏀
Steph, becoming the first unanimous MVP at that being back to back, also led his team to a 73-9 record that feat cemented his legacy for me and many, however he had goals in mind and strived for more. "He's a silent assassin on the court, a certain calm about - Kobe Bryant. 💜💛
To me steph and bron and maybe kd it depends on how im feeling their legacys cant be hurt moving forward with their careers its like mj on the wizards it doesn't matter if they completely fall off a cliff and absolutely suck now for what they did in their primes they are legends regardless no matter what happens moving forward their careers wont be tarnished to me. The rest of their careers is just icing the extra awards and accolades they can get before their done
Kd has stuff to prove
9:60 bro u was right steph should have won mvp that year golden state finished 8th but got knocked out by memphis in the playoffs in.. i never understood why they randomly made a tournament when before that it was straight 8th seed
Adam Silver.....
Skip wild for this one 😂😂
I hear the cole instrumentals you aint slick😂got me rapping out here
“The 2016 season, to me kinda gets forgotten about” -Swishout😭
Swish, your analysis are impeccable 🔥
that 2022 Title really cemented Curry’s legacy and i love it
W 4 Your Eyez Only and Taylor Made Freestyle instrumentals. And of course W Steph
The way the Warriors looked in pre-season, if they are able to carry that into the regular season with the roster they have: Ring #5 may be a very serious possibility. I still have concerns about their size and I think they can afford to trade about 2-3 of those rotation guys + 1-2 draft picks for that legit star-level big man who can address those concerns while STILL having a roster that's 11-12 guys deep.
Or maybe not, maybe this roster is enough and they just need one of the other 10 guys not named Steph or Draymond to step up and emerge as a star player: Either Wiggins finds his '22 self or Kuminga makes that leap as he has steadily been doing.
But if they actually do manage to make a title run and Steph gets his 5th + a Finals MVP and maybe even a 3rd MVP depending on how they do in the regular season... I'm gonna have to make some changes to my Top 10 GOAT list if that happens.

Love the vids man❤ Keep doubting Curry and see what happens😂
I was always a Spur Fan until the Great Tim Duncan retired. The Admiral David Robinson and Tim Duncan were never attention seekers. They let their games did the talking. If Classy was a Person! Those men are the definition. I looked around the league and found this guy Steph Curry he had just came in the league and I fell in love with him. He reminded me of Tim Duncan some what. He was never an attention seeker and he was not that popular. There was something fascinating about him. Folks started to talk but there was always the Haters/ Talking Heads and he has proven them wrong time and time again. The 2022 NBa Finals and 2024 Olympics is it for me. Steph Curry the Phenom showed up big time on the World Wide Stage. I never doubted him the Haters came out once more. I defended him on every negative comments. The two last games ended the Haters. If he never won another ring in the NBA again NO PROBLEM! 2022 NBA Finals was the best ever. No other final, Bucks,Toronto, Nuggets and Boston was not as exciting. They are 1 Championship and done. Warriors 4 Championships . I am Good, Steph Curry the Phenom who can stand next to him? Only the great Lebron James King. When these men retire don't know what the NBA will be like. Only youngmen bringing back the 80's andb90"s with the baby mama's drama and their brainless BBL women. They don't have time to craft their games to make a difference too busy flanting their lifestyle and low self esteem. Nuff Respect to Steph Curry the Phenom. He will never be defeated!😂✌️♥️♥️♥️♥️
they wont appreciate and praise him till he's gone, they do that for every legend. They wait till they retire then be missing them and crap
Curry>>>>>>>>>>>>Lebron>Durant
Only Jordan/Kobe/Magic are clearly ahead of him, you could argue Kareem, Bird or Duncan too. But no one else, at least none of the ringchasers of this era.
Lebron is clearly better but yea curry is better then Durant for sure
Dont be delusional… every time LeBron and Steph matched up in the finals, LeBron significantly outperformed him
@@TheRealPaulyDhow many times has Steph been swept in the finals
@@jamesv6241 irrelevant to who’s the better player… the Warriors swept the Cavs, Steph didn’t outplay LeBron.
@@TheRealPaulyD actually he did. Bron just put up more ppg rpg apg stats cause the warriors played him in single coverage. AKA the kinda defense you play on scrubs
Bro when KD said that it was the ultimate lack of integrity that’s why he joined gsw, and more importantly that’s why he had success there. Messed with the bball gods on that one.
Bro I remember in 2015 when Steph was making those outlandish deep threes and the narrative was that he was just getting “lucky” and it was just a “phase” fast forward to 2024 and that didn’t age well at all 😭
glad I clicked. Put some respect on that man.
Talk to em swish
Props for putting context around how Steph killed these narratives
Alright man 🔥🔥
I say dat all da time bout his 2021 season all eyes on him N he still averaged 32
You don’t wanna see us next year legendary
Skip said Bill Walton😭😂
4:29 As a kid I hated Kerr for taking out curry or Klay or KD before the 4th quater. Now I understand why, if he didn’t curry would probably average 40ppg and Klay would’ve scored 80 against Indiana or had 20+ threes in late 2018.
As a kid (6 year old) 2014-15 season was my first nba season that I fully watched and I needed a team/favorite player. I became a fan of curry and the warriors during the three point contest which he won. My older brother was a lebron fan and he tried to make me one two but I just was to fascinated by curry, Klay, and the warriors. You can just imagine how it was 2015-18 NBA FINALS me and my brother favorite player/team squaring off for the championship for 4 years straight
1:20 Curry is definitely in the same stage kobe was in 2014 but not Lebron in 2018-19 cause Curry and Kobe stayed with their team and didn't want to leave so they had to go through a rebuild while Lebron joined a rebuilding young team in the lakers and disbanded them.
Steph has been the greatest offensive weapon in the NBA for the last decade, including when KD was on the team
The point machine
I’ve said this time and time again, Steph honestly has nothing to prove! As much as I love KD, and I know I’m gonna get heat for this but GS didn’t need him. All four titles with the same team, unanimous MVP and undoubtedly the perfect season minus the loss against Cleveland in 15-16.
That 2015 MVP I feel as though Anthony Davis had a stronger case for MVP than James Harden, just the fact the Pelicans didn’t win enough games
Please make ALOT of videos when the season starts
You are my ESPN
Those of us who know, we know. Damn the narratives. The crazy thing is the only other 2 dudes even in the same world as Steph the last 10 years....Lebron and KD....they also know and always give Steph what he deserves. Nobody else matters.
That 21 year was insane. The guy took literally the worst NBA team of the last 30 years and had them in the 5 seed!!! He has been dominating the league without question since 2014.
Why are we not talking about 1:02😭😭🔥

Nah guys, Pause the video at 11.37 and look at my man's face, angry and determinded as hell, he was on a mission to secure that championship
I love it when haters bring up that "3-1" thing, cuz that is EXACTLY CURRY'S RECORD AGAINST LEBRON IN THE FINALS!
Never include CHEF CURRY’s name if the following words in a sentence diminishes him. GIVE THE GREATEST SHOOTER ALIVE HIS RESPECT.
It’s preseason so not gonna read to much into it. But if the warriors make a move to get Lavine cause he would fit that system like a glove then they could definitely make some noise.
We don't need Lavine, we need a true 7 footer& to consolidate at the 2 guard.
@@YeshuaMyGod Trace and Draymon can fill the C minutes. Curry has never really needed a c. He needs another player to take the scoring load off of him or he’s going to burn out
@@thicybriky That will be Kuminga, wiggins, MOODY, buddy, podz, melton, waters...all of them can score. We need a footer for AD, Jokic, Giannis...even guys like Zubac give us problems.
@@thicybriky Nah he was saying AD/Jokic are problems for us and we need a 7 footer to deal with them. Though I think Dray on AD seems to work more often than not for some reason.
Dude, the 2016 Warriors beat Durant's OKC that year. So KD needed Steph more than Steph needed KD.
Numbers may not lie, but people definitely lie using numbers
Amazing breakdown of Curry’s career and his impact! But do you think Steph would have been as successful if he didn’t have Klay and Draymond by his side for most of his career?
Do you think Green and Klay would have been successful without Steph? We've already seen Steph with a 3rd year Klay and 2nd year Green in 2013 amd 2014 lead GS. Green didn't start till 2015 after DLee got hurt man 🤦🏾♂️. Steph in 2020-21 season with no Klay with just a bunch of G leaguers, and Mr. Triple Single himself led GS to an 39-33 record in a shortened season and after missing 10 games which GS went 1-8 without him. Steph has always made them better tbh and when you look at Klay's and Green's past playoff performances, they're far more inconsistent and have spurts, or few series where they played decent!
Skip is a wild boy
Waiting on the Predictions video🍿🍿
He's one of the guys you can't ever count out
Ima bron fan always knew Steph was him but 2022 season stamped it now nb can deny it.
Last time we saw him without KD…? Didn’t they win a Championship in 2022? 😂
