Steph Curry NOT a generational talent??? 

If Curry is not a generational talent, Arenas was never a NBA player.

When a dude transforms the way the entire game is played, you are the definition of generational

Steph changed NBA forever. The greatest 3 point shooter in NBA today.

Curry is not a generational talent because HE STANDS ON HIS OWN AS THE GREATEST SHOOTER OF ALL TIME! HE IS ONCE IN A LIFETIME TALENT!

Steph Curry is the reason why there is a Kaitlyn Clark!!!

No, he's not a generational talent. He's a MULTI-generational talent. He's a generation-DEFINING talent. Don't expect to see anybody like him for quite some time, if ever.

Ive learned more than 50% of Gilbert and Rashad Mccants takes are just hot takes for more attention and likes

Steph Curry is the only time SAS mentions God....

Steph is beyond generational. Unlike everyone else, he changed the game

In order to be a great shooter you need legs. The fact that curry moves without the ball the way he does and is still capable of shooting at a high clip like that is Beyond generational. Never seen Something like that before.

The man won the 3 point contest this year without even participating!!

Gilbert arenas should be banned from talking basketball

Watching Stephen A is a routine just like getting your morning coffee. His passion is undeniable.

A generational basket player in sports is an athlete who is exceptional and stands out among their peers. They are considered once-in-a-generation talents, possessing extraordinary skills, abilities, and achievements that set them apart in their sport. These players go beyond being great athletes; they redefine the standards of excellence in their sport and have a lasting impact on the game. They are seen as the best in their sport and are often compared to the greatest players of all time. Essentially, a generational player transcends their era, leaving a legacy that is highly respected and remembered for years to come. These players are rare and are celebrated for their unique talents and contributions to their sport. And that is Stephen Curry, the man who changed the sports of basketball.

There won’t EVER be another shooter like Curry. Nope

I think he was trying to say you can’t mimic those other guys because you can’t teach size but you can mimic Curry because you can learn how to shoot. The only problem is you can’t learn how to shoot like him so that definitely makes him generational.

He sure isn't. HE'S AN ALL TIME TALENT.

This Steph slander needs to stop! T-Mac to G. Arenas out here in recent days making these asinine comments. Steph has the resume of a first ballot unanimous HOFer. He has kids out here trying to mimic his game presently.

Arenas is right.... Steph is not a generational talent that shows once every 20years or so because Curry's talent is one of one and we will never see another version of it.

His not Generational because there will never be another one his a lifetime talent

When u got everybody talkin for no reason at all 😂😂😂u kno u tufffff

Steph is a once in a lifetime talent, thus far.

When klay was out they were 22 and like 4 with Jordan Poole as his running mate. Put respect on curry mf name bro. Celtics were the number one defense in generations with the dpoy in Marcus smart the year he won finals mvp with mf Wiggins as the second best player on the team. PUT SOME MF RESPECT ON CURRY MF NAME he mf 6’3 at best y’all act like he 6 9.. he kills team with pure skill. Respect that mf man

I agree and Gilber is 42 years of age. Steph transformed the league into the 3 point era.

THE TUNNEL SHOT ENDED IT FOR ME EVEN JORDAN DIDNT DO THAT🤣🤣🤣🤣

Steph Curry was an Epoch of a basketball player. How he played and the style of play GSW's adopted changed basketball. This change is as significant as Centers to Forward to Guard lead basketball teams.

Is this guy Arenas alright? I'm not a Warriors fan, but Steph has not only completed basketball (won everything) but is the greatest shooter in the history of basketball. The guy has has changed how basketball is played at every level - youth basketball, college, and the NBA.

He’s not a generational talent, he’s a scientist, a artist, a freaking genius 🐐🥹

Steph wasn't a generational talent initially. He ultimately turned into one though.

SSA … you almost gave me a damn heart attack attack! I thought these were your thoughts until I listened to the clip. That alert was misleading … 😊

Boy Gilbert marbles are on backwards and rolling around in that brain

It’s his ability to shoot off the dribble that really makes him stand out. He’s generational for sure.

🏀🎊🎉🥳Steph Curry is the greatest shooter God ever created & it's a Privilege to witness him play 🥳🎉🎊🏀🙏🏽👍🙌👏👏👏👏👏

Not a single person have mimicked curry

I love the grounded reality of this channel!!! *Retirement took a toll on my finances, but with my involvement in the digital market, $15,000 weekly returns has been life changing. AWESOME GOD* ❤️

Who is even giving this debate any attention?🤦🏾‍♂️

Curry is paving the way for little guys in the league

forget generational he a once in a lifetime player

A fan from Dominican Republic. For me generational is who a generation wants to imitate, mimic. Everybody wanted to pass like Magic, score like Bird, anyone playing basket wanted to be like Mike. I have never seen and heard anyone saying they want to be like Lebron even though how great he is, however the last 15 years all players, young boys, kids, want to play and shoot like Curry.

Steph Curry is the reason your favorite player is practicing 3s, he’s the reasons at your local gym everyone is shooting 3s lol

Steph is clearly the most important and influential player of his generation by a mile. It is his style of play that every team in the NBA has adopted. Spread the floor and shoot the 3. This is the basketball universe we now live in that Steph created. His style of play has been copied by all, but none can truly match his shooting ability. They are but pale imitations of the original.

Shawn Bradley was 7' 6" and Yao was 7' 4"

It's good to see Sas talking about Curry man when he was voice the warriors 2022 we were unstoppable

Steph Curry is the reason I started watching the NBA...he introduced me to basketball 🏀

Curry is the main reason why you got centres chucking up threes he changed I think he is a generational player however luka doncic whenever he shoots his release timing is perfect

When Shaq left Kobe missed the playoffs 😂😂😂

Generational talent and generational player are two different things in my opinion. When Steph came into the league, NOBODY saw this coming what his career has come out to be nor the type of player he is. But it’s a testament to his hard work that he has become generational as a player without coming in with all the hype and talent as other players.

When we saw Steph curry we were like damnnn thou lol

Love Steph!!!

Thank you sir 🙏

Not only that …. He’s a class act on & off the court ..

after all these Years, Steph still Underrated

This when old head starts hating on current NBA players for no reason. They on that haterade.

Tracy definitely speaking facts but he definitely top 10

“3 point shooting team cannot win a championship” was the general consensus from the 60s celtics dynasty up until the heatles proves he is generational

When I think about “Generational talent” I think about those guys who were coming straight from highschool to the pros and making a impact.

Is Kyrie Irving a top 5 point guard? & I disagree with Tmac, that's like saying If scottie & dennis rodman got injured would they have won? Maybe they would be a force cause those bulls teams were stacked to cater to Micheal Jordon. Curry is definitely a generational talent. He doesn't need the ball to get his shot off, and he's crafty around the rim for his size. 4 rings to show for it. "He's a silent killer" - Kobe Bryant.

The volume and accuracy of Steph Curry is off the charts. There is debate for greatest in multiple categories. There is no debate on the greatest shooter ever. He's also got the hardware before and after Durant.

I guess Stromile Swift, Nate Robinson, Spud Webb is a generational talent according to Gilbert's logic.

Curry's not just generational, he is transcedental.

When someone shoots good, you say he shoots like Curry. Hes the standard

Nah I need to see SAS & Gil debate ball, thats good television. Hopefully on Gil's Arena so they can curse lmao

I honestly understand Gilbert's point, he's arguing the rarity and difficulty of Curry's attributes. A child looks at LeBron, Wemby, and Magic and when reality hits them knows they probably won't be 6'9 or 7'4 with those wingspans and have the mobility they have, but any child (especially during 2015-18 when Curry started going crazy) knows they can be an elite shooter like Curry if they just put in the time. Trae Young is a good example, elite shooter, clearly got influence from Curry. HOWEVER, not only was Curry the first to master this aspect on all levels but his impact is something undeniable, 20-point leads literally aren't safe anymore BECAUSE of what Curry did. He changed the game and offense entirely, that and it's a lot more than his shooting, his off-ball movement, speed, ball-handling, finishing, etc. Anyone can be an elite shooter yes, but we ain't getting another Curry, lol. Literally just look at all the other elite shooters of previous generations and then Curry. It's not close.

Generational isn’t dependent on how hard it is to replicate them, its about how they were the first, how they were different, and how those differences were influenced on other players. Matter of fact, people trying to imitate steph is what makes him generational

The three-point shot went from being a gimmick that wasn’t taken seriously as a championship-winning strategy to THE championship-winning strategy. Nobody changed the game more in the last 30-40 years than Steph.

Steph is not a generational level talent, but he demonstrates how with his work ethics, he's able to maximize what he has into the greatest shooter of all time. What if LeBron practiced shooting hallway 3's like Steph does?

Stephen A's always 100% on point! Thank you my guy

Klay was out most of the season they won and when he came back he wasn’t the same that season

Tracy doesn’t have a ring

Yall gotta understand what Gil is saying, it would be easier to mimic Curry than mimicking Bron or Zion. There have been players who shot the lights out, the main difference is just Curry has range which one can work on. You cant work on being 6'9 250 with a 40 inch vertical, no matter how hard you try.

The problem is a lot of people only see talent as the physical attributes we can easily recognise. Perhaps Steph's spatial awareness is higher than others, his capacity for endurance is obviously higher than most. Etc. Gil said the same about Kobe and all I'll say is Kobe had to have the genes for being able to work like a maniac as consistently as he did for as long as he did without running himself into the ground.

I suppose generational isn't accurate if we're talking one of one. Look how many double teams he gets. Especially when another scoring threat is injured or something. Whenever he's on the floor the opposing defenders have one eye on their assignment and the other on him anticipating a pickup attempt the moment he shakes whoever is guarding him. Which all too often is not a matter of if, but when. There's only one Steph Curry, and it will be a sad day when he retires. I'm blessed to witness this level of greatness and hope it doesn't take him retiring to get the full respect he's earned.

Arenas is delusional thinking Curry did all that by pure hard work alone

Thank you for keeping it real SA! Between Carlin Clark and Steph you have been spot on

When I hear Stephen A. says the word "I love GIlbert Arenas, I love his Podcast" I knew something's real shit coming.

Thank you sir!!! There are a lot of takes you have I don’t agree with but this is 100% on the money. Gill was off his rocker with that take

"I wanna meet him"... 😂😂😂😂 Me too $A.

He is crazy!! He changed the game of basketball!

A LOT of NBA stars have dissed Curry, his talent, his accomplishments. Don't matter. He struts his stuff, plays great more games than less, gives as much time as he can to family & wife, contributes to a lot of charitable drives/orgs, doesn't badmouth anyone, tries to be mindful of all his fans.

Stephen Curry is the only person to do what he did on that level so he has to be in the top 10 because he does what he does better than anyone else who has played the game.

The man pulls up from 30 feet then turns around and runs the other direction without watching the ball go in. And he’s done it in the Playoffs/Finals. There’s nobody like Curry.

Steph is the definition of generational. Imagine being the very best at the most valuable skill in the sport. Not only the best, but by far the best.

The way Steph shoots is nothing short of Sorcery. It's fun to watch, but scary when you analyze his shots.

Gilbert is basically jealous because Steph is what Gilbert should've been and he knows it

Remember the draft scouting report on Steph Curry - his possible top end limit is JJ Reddick. 🤣

Kinda contradicting cause at some point in Curry's career I said, "Damn" while in awe of what this man can do.

When will a player transcend the game like Steph again? When will we see a small guard dominate the game to the level of Steph? The volume shooting and crazy shots with the efficiency is generational. Steph is unlike any player ever off the ball offensively..the disrespect is crazy. Steph is hands down a generational talent and he’s top 10 alltime, right outside the top 10 at the very least.

There will never be another number 30

What Gilbert is saying is Steph Curry talent/skill is attainable by any size/type of player in his era vs generational talents Shaq, Bron, Vic, Magic, etc. were/are not duplicative to their eras

Exactly this is why I love Stephen a. Smith a person that actually knows about the game of basketball 🏀 he always spit facts 💯

I’m not saying I agree, I’m just gonna say “generational talent” is a term usually attached to someone before they even hit the draft. LeBron, Zion, AI, Yao Ming maybe even. Curry blossomed years into his career (even though Skip Bayless liked him over Blake Griffin). So I wouldn’t say he’s not, but I would say he isn’t a typical “generational talent”. Even Jokic, who’s being thrown into the GOAT centre conversations, doesn’t get called “generational talent” on the regular.

There are two ways of looking at Gil’s opinion. He’s either flat out wrong or he’s wrong but can be right if he were to really specify his definition of what makes a player generational. You can’t say generational players can’t be mimicked, give an example of Magic the 6’9” playmaking with crazy vision but then ignore that Lebron checks those same boxes physically and talent wise. Steph came into the league in 09, 15 years in he’s lead the league in total 3s made 8 of those seasons (5 of those seasons were consecutive mind you). He still holds the record for the most 3s made in a season. At this rate, it’s ARGUABLE that Steph’s shooting makes him generational than Magic’s playmaking makes him generational.

Like Shaq said, it’s time about damn time we add his name to the top 5 of all time.

If Curry is generational than so is Muggys. We haven’t seen a 5’3 NBA guard since the 90s 😂

yes he's not a generational talent, he transcends through time and any generation. he's one of one.

Basketball is a team-sport ofcourse Steph needs supporting cast to back him up in every game just like every player does. GSW not making the playoffs is not a downgrade in his career sometimes you win and sometimes you lose and thats the game.

He is a generational talent, but Arenas have his own criteria and we gotta respect that, cause like he said mimics, which is a way of saying can someone copy that guy and do what he does yes. Steph is great, but Klay is also the same, Trae Young, so if you are able to list a few that can do what Steph does, that cause you to say what Arenas said, everyone have their criteria of what they consider generational.

Gilbert when u was playing basketball at the time u never change the game of basketball like MJ & CURRY

Stephen curry is a once in a lifetime talent. I dont think arenas knows what mimic means

He wasn't the tall player comparatively, not the strongest or dominant like Shaq, not athletic like the likes of prime DRose or LBJ. But he lead his team to 4 Championships, and was the one and only unanimous MVP. Changed the playing style of the league and aspiring young talents, for good or bad (that's a debate). If that's not generational then I don't know what is .
