There will never be anyone like Curry. He is so unique. He really is a once in a lifetime player. I've never seen a player demoralize a team and their fans the way curry does. Players like Jordan, LeBron and kobe, yes they will kill you and frustrate the hell out of you but when curry goes off you can see the faces and body language of the other team and fans. It's utter shock and disbelief. I always say a steph 40 piece hit different than anyone else's 40 piece lol
It’s just something special about the way he shoot’s that 3 that’s different than anyone else. Like the crowd goes crazy when guys hit 3s but there’s another level of excitement & electricity when he does it He’s a jolly happy killer like Majin Buu
Ive beens saying this since he hopped on to the scene and people were still expecting him to burnout. When you’re team is sprinting down working super hard for points just for curry and klay to hold the ball for a second and score effortless 3 to your hard effort 2. In game its hard to watch.
It’s funny because I hear lots of negativity towards Golden State right now, but not much on Steph. Usually when a guy gets around his age or even before, people start with breaking him down. Not so much on Steph. He’s still the man.
Look at his play style and you’ll see why. His play style ages well due to a high reliance on shooting and layups versus more athletic play styles for obvious reasons that he isn’t as reliant on physical gifts.
The Baby Faced Assassin was the perfect nickname for him because he has never played around when it was time to get his. He’s embarrassed every single player who has ever defended him. He’s one of the greatest players of all time but not a soul would’ve guessed coming into the league. Legend forever and always.
There is a reason steph is one of the generational talents ( mj, shaq, kd, bron, kobe, bird, magic etc) coz he cant be replicated. He can be dropped in any era and will still put massive numbers. There will never be another steph curry.
@@theartistbonez1930 doesnt matter. He shoot the lights out in that era even without the 3 pt line and with his offball movement and unlimited stamina, those dudes from with regular jobs and have the nba as a sidejob would be puking before the first half ends
@@yousuckatcod why u questioning that?? KD is a 7ft shooting guard. The convo is about generational talent. Accolades, rings, stats doesnt matter, this is about just talent that trancends any era. U think plumbers from the 60's can block a 7ft guard?? Wilt was dominated without any post moves whatsoever just jumping straight up for a bank shot what would those oldheads do to defend KD?
“The Next Stephen Curry” is false. Steph is a one of one. There will never be another Stephen Curry. What he’s done for the game of basketball will never be duplicated. 🐐
Dr G here. Great video as always. Love the Curry-Lillirad comparison. Plus the 2 point guards from Oklahoma. We can get tix to see the Sooners and Thunder in the same week! Pretty fun when OU has a great player. Would love to see a video comparing Jokic to Bird. Or Jokic compared to a healthy Bill Walton in the year the Trailblazers won it all. Obviously Walton didn’t have the range, but low post moves and interior passing. Bill Walton to Maurice Lucas!! Or ‘86 Bird-Walton give and goes. Like the Beasties said “ I love the give and go”. No look passes the best. Right now Jokic the king! Thanks again for all your hard work.
I really wish I could say this to every trae young hater - every time the hawks vs sixers series is brought up, they say “trae beat a scared Ben Simmons” or “an imploding sixers team”. NOT TRUE. The sixers were supposed to make a finals run. Without embiid, the sixers destroyed a team with two all stars in the first round (the wizards) and people said “if embiid doesn’t play, sixers beat hawks in 6. If he does play, sixers in 4.” This team had THREE all defense team members, the MVP runner up, the DPOY runner, and one of the greatest coaches in nba history who everyone said that season “fixed Ben Simmons”. That sixers team did not implode until AFTER trae was through dominating them. Trae didn’t beat an imploding sixers team - he caused a number 1 seed to implode and retool completely.
Nah, the Sixers imploded, and Ben Simmons died that series. The evidence is clear, since then, Trae has done nothing to carry his team, and Ben has been terrible ever since. Nice try, not falling for your false narrative. Btw, if you know the game, you know Doc is an extremely overrated coach who’s teams regularly implode in the playoffs
@@Johnny-xj5qu don’t “nice try” me. Narratives are all that have surrounded trae. What you are saying is what people were saying about trae LAST year, but this year people are realizing that it’s not his fault. The hawks have failed to build around trae after 2021. Trae is a playoff riser. The Heat series in 2022 was the Heat doing whatever it took to stop that very thing from happening. With Trae being the only threat, he was all they need to focus on. They didn’t mind giving up 35 to Deandre Hunter if if meant keeping Trae in check. Trae reminded us how dangerous he is against the heavily favored Celtics last year. Made it a series when it was supposed to be a cakewalk. So what if Ben Simmons hasn’t been the same? He was all nba and all defense before trae got to him. Not a coincidence. Whatever you haters’ problem is with trae is ridiculous. He is just trying to play and win.
@@2436dan you are a Trae fan and not a realist. He’s not a playoff riser. He shoots 40% FG and 29.7% from 3 in the playoffs. You can’t lead a team to victory with those putrid efficiency numbers. Trae is a stat padder. He’s had years now to prove he’s that guy. He’s not, he’s a nice player but clearly cannot be the #1 option on a winning team. He needs to be a #2 or maybe #3.
@@Johnny-xj5qu I don’t give a crap about efficiency. Nobody cared how inefficient Kobe was during his finals runs. You don’t have a right to claim that he’s not a 1 on a winning team when he already been that. Mind you he’s still 25 years old. He still has a lot to prove. If you’re just going to hate and not see that he performs in the playoffs (three playoff game winners at just 25 years old), then I have no reason to believe you are anything more than just a hater. I will always support Trae after, being a Kobe fan, hearing that Kobe’s daughter Gigi said that Trae was her favorite player just weeks before the helicopter crash.
Oh wow.... Ur page is actually named "Jimmer Range".... U must have loved his game back in college huh..? Anyway, its my 1st time watching ur page & ur analytics & detail are awesome. Im subscribingg 🎉👊 Ur video is very beneficial for someone like me who has little knowledge in the NBA. 💯🏀 Thanks for letting me know the 'Jimmer Range.'💥
@@williamg7138 um yes really, statistically an average point guard average around 2-5 to 3 rebounds a game while steph averages around 5 so yes he is a good rebounder for his position.
@@williamg7138 both, steph averages more rebounds then most the top point guards of his time like kyrie, dame, cp3 and as he gets deeper in the playoffs his rebounds increase he literally becomes a better rebounder as the playoffs go on. Also nowhere did i bring up 30+ minutes. So yes, he is a good rebounder for his position.
I had never heard of Curry before Davidson played KU in the tournament. I was watching as a KU fan, and I remember being really impressed with Curry. I definitely remembered his name just from seeing him play that one game.
It's crazy cuz this comparison was when Curry joined the league. As a Warriors fan the closest we've seen anyone come to Curry is Lillard. I feel for the guy honestly. If he had a few good teammates he woulda made multiple deep playoff runs honestly. Also, there is a reason why curry is in the top 10 Players of all time already, its cuz what he does cannot be replicated.
Jimmer's career is absolutely a tragedy. He was too early for the new NBA, and was unfortunate to be on teams without systems that would allow him to develop. We just as easily could've been saying Jimmer rather than Fredette, but Curry was able to get to the right team at the right time. Funny enough, my game style was more sniper-ish but I got cut due to size as a freshman (very understandable). But if it were today, I would've been starting. Not a comparison, they're WAY better than me, but it just shows timing and luck make a world of difference. Curry anywhere besides Golden State would never have been able to become the legend he is today.
@@keltongonzales8514 you're right it's unnecessary, but I added it to highlight that the Curry effect and timing has had far larger effects down to way lower levels. We don't know how many potential Steph Currys there are or were because of a lack of a high profile player like them who happened to luck into systems that allowed them to succeed.
@@Tee.Dolo2x He’s only 25, still has time to figure it out. What I have seen is a lot of locker room dysfunction in Atlanta. Trae got kicked out of practice last year too. Talent does not equate to bringing out the best of your team. MJ, Bron, Kobe, Steph, Larry, Magic were/are all a different breed of leaders
I will never forget the moment when my parents took me to the Jazz arena in 2011 for the draft announcements. We were all excited because we knew Jimmer would have a good connection with the state of Utah, & possibly help recover our then dying team with his shooting & scoring talent. Instead, we traded for 2 players that didn't even last us more than 8 years. Rodney Hood, a bust within a few years, & Rudy Gobert; an offensive handicap that after the first 2 Donovan Mitchell years, just flat plateaued in his skill set. My parents(my dad specifically) & I have never been that interested in the Jazz or the NBA from that point on. Jimmer was traded to the Kings, then the Kings organization fired their coach by Cousins' relentless requests/demands, the new coach started to bench Jimmer, then traded Jimmer, & were dirt trash for almost 10 years, even with Hield & Fox. They're better now that Fox has figured out his shot & decision making, & Buddy Hield is off the team for other players like Sabonis, but Jimmer got cheated out of possible opportunities because G.M's were scared of trading Cousins'.
Rubio and Flynn must make you smile as an GSW fan, that Crossover to CP3 is such a memorable play, i think it was a conspiracy to have KD gone, they were too good
Curry-Lilard? Nah bro! You know Curry has that something like a Magnet, karisma, that boyish smiling look then that basketball talent , unlike lilard who always look Serious, I haven't seen him smile even a bit. That's why he's just at the background of Curry 😢
Trae Young never was the next Steph Curry because he is an on the ball 3pt shooter. Steph is more off-ball. Nobody is and will never be the next "Steph Curry" Edit: Have y'all not seen him shoot 3 pointers off screens?
The percentage and shot taking likely stems from surrounding cast as well as coaching. You can't blame Tre for not being as efficient when he is the only player most people could name off of the Hawks. It's the carry effect.
Yeah, Dame is the only one comparable to Curry despite being less good. Dame is one of the only guys who has been able to consistently go blow-for-blow with Steph.
Oscar Robertson kid, learn your history. Averaged a god damn triple double, “a master of basketball” “you knew what he was gonna do and you couldn’t stop it” and he ACTUALLY PLAYED DEFENSE
I really wish I could say this to every trae young hater - every time the hawks vs sixers series is brought up, they say “trae beat a scared Ben Simmons” or “an imploding sixers team”. NOT TRUE.

@@2436danone of the best coaches in NBA history is a big reach but everything else you said is absolute facts. Trae was on one that series and that Philly team was almost a 60 win team.
@@AdamCortez11 I agree that Doc is overrated as a coach, but he was technically named to the official top 15 coaches of all time during the nba 75 season. His coaching style hasn’t looked very good over the past few years because it’s obsolete nowadays, and with that I agree with you on how his coaching historically should be viewed.
Only Stephen Curry had the mental and spiritual fortitude to stick with it on a bad franchise, making the best of a shitty situation, and turning a losing culture into a winning one… Curry was used to being underrated (why he made his documentary) and being called small, under-sized, etc. Curry was used to being snubbed, counted out. He had to go to a small college, prove himself there and bring that school for the first time; to the Elite 8. Curry when he was drafted, you could tell he didn’t like he was going to the Warriors… he wanted to go to the Knicks… but fate would have it that the Warriors was the perfect landing spot… Patience is a virtue. Only Curry, after battling injuries, would have the faith to move forward, heal by the grace of God, and come back and work harder and harder, and though not a strong defender, work under the guidance of Mark Jackson to improve… Only Curry would be humble enough to accept an absolute steal contract for 4 years, that would allow the Warriors cap space to assemble a team that would eventually win a Championship. Curry took all the lemons that life gave him, and turned it all into lemonade - sipping it on hot June days after winning multiple NBA titles. Only someone with the character Curry has could’ve done this, could’ve accomplished this. Curry gives glory to God, so through God he, one of the smallest players, like David, can beat Goliath.
What people don't realize when laughing off the Dame and Curry comparisons is that they really are not that far from each other. Kyrie before his injuries and shenanigans in Brooklyn is also there. 3 excellent guards around the same size that are great scorers and good with the ball. Now Kyrie had the benefit of winning with arguably the best player ever and Curry has had the best front office of the three by a longshot. Hindsight is 20/20 but few teams have drafted that well and it ended up being perfect for curry. You could plug Kyrie or Damian in and switch the others around and theyd have likely gotten 2 or 3 rings as well. Not to discredit anyone, just pointing out that great team construction/competent front offices work wonders. Curry is the best of the three, but comparisons amongst the three are not unreasonable.
Nah not really. Steph is not just about basketball skill. Ky and Dame could score equally or even more but they can’t provide the same leadership, unselfishness, and gravity. I doubt that if they were the star in GSW they wouldn’t agreed with the KD trade
@HuyLe-wo3mb I'd buy the gravity and almost on basketball gravity but steph was not the leader of that team until recently. It was draymond. That's the only reason the "Draymond missed a game" bullshit was even something that could make a difference. Dame was most definitely the leader in Milwaukee however.
@@torosdrydale3908 well I guess your assumption of Ky or Dame having 2 rings with GSW would be from playing with their KD roster. I agree. But remember without KD, Steph’s first championship season he was back to back MVP (and unanimously). And also what he did in 2022 was crazy. Without KD in the team, you think Dame or Ky could do what Curry did?
@HuyLe-wo3mb To that extent no and yes you are right I meant with KD at the very least but that first chip Dame and KY are basically getting too. Remember the cavs were without Klove the whole playoffs basically and Ky was hurt in the finals and only played in one game. So realistically I think they win 3 each in Curry's shoes where curry has 4.
You’re a clown. Just because Draymond is louder and more aggressive doesn’t mean he was the leader. It was Steph. And then you say dame is on curry level basically🤣. Their matchups say otherwise.
Jimmer was never going to be Steph or Dame, but he could have been a top scorer on a bad team, or a bench scorer on a mediocre one. The problem is, players like that are not plug and play in any given system. They have to luck into the right one.
