@@traytyler9951 according to basketball-reference Curry's 2014-2015 season is SECOND in least minutes played by MVP. 2015-2016 is 6th. and his advanced stats are through the roof, when compared to players near him. I'd rather believe a site built to show NBA stats that some random dude from Internet.
@@bartomiej9807Lol I swear so many NBA fans just make things up in their heads and act like they’re facts. No wonder they hate stats so much it always shows how full of shit they are.
You gotta remember when NBA2K confused how to design 2016 Curry, cuz if they input the ratings following his real counterpart, he will become a literal cheat code.
I genuinely believe if the Warriors had won one more game in the 2016 finals, that would’ve snowballed, and at this point in time Steph would be in contention for the title of NBA GOAT
yea if u think about it, curry almost pulled a mahomes before mahomes (3 rings in 7 seasons). if curry won in 2016, hed be 2 rings in 7 seasons but also w/ the 1st/only unanimous mvp, his hype would be at the same level as mahomes rn...
Kobe’s analysis of Steph and Klay gotta be the most accurate I ever heard. The best explanation of Curry’s greatness, this season so far, is his game winner against Boston when CP spotted him on the wing and the ball barely touched Curry’s hands as the ball was already in motion of a high arc three to go in perfectly and win the game. The shot was so clutch and ridiculous, you had to see it to even believe it was real play.
lebron saying "the same way you slow me down" the ultimate appreciate of what kind of player curry is, in the upper echelon of players that you will get going and keep going no matter what
Could you do a video about 2020-21 curry? He averaged 32 that season and was playing out of his mind. He didn’t make the playoffs that year but he was 3rd in mvp race. He also went out with a bang in the play in.
He also had the warriors in a playoff spot. Missed a few games and they fell out. He was playing with G league Talent that year and his efficiency was still OUTRAGEOUS. Best offensive weapon in nba history. How can you be that efficient when you take the difficulty of shots he takes. And gets doubled the amount he does and covers as much ground as he does. Insanity
He was free to cook that year. No one had GSW circled on their schedule. He carried the load without giving a damn about going deep into the playoffs. Paid for it with injuries next season but obviously took home the cup.
2016 Steph really changed how I view basketball completely. Being born in an Asian country, Basketball was never the most popular sport here, but I’ve always appreciated the sport because of Michael Jordan cause he was just too big of an icon for you to not know about. But after watching a lanky 6’2 dude who later became an unstoppable force in 2015, i was just completely hooked to the game of basketball and wanted to learn each and every history there is. Then the unanimous MVP season happen, I was just mindblown to how masterful and GOATED Steph was throughout the entire season. Every game was such a joy and that really made me love Steph and basketball. Truly a phenomenon.
greatest shooter, greatest point guard, unanimous mvp, four times champ, 1 time fmvp, 2 times league mvp, key player of the greatest team oat, the best team record while leading the team, making everyone around him better, changing the game of basketball, top 3 most influentual player oat, all star game mvp, saving a whole franchise, the most loyal player ever. what more does he needs to be in the top 10?
Don’t forget 2x scoring title, steals champ, second most influential player to touch a basketball, one of the most efficient players ever, first or second greatest offensive player ever, second greatest handles ever.
Also 1 of 2 players to ever create a top 5 dynasty of all time homegrown. Only other player is MJ. The warriors were worth 315m when they drafted curry, now they’re worth by far the most ever at $7.7B.
the season everyone forgets is the covid season. curry had the best stretch of his career late during that season, probably the best anyone has ever played in nba history
I love to see Steph Curry get the respect he deserves. He is one of the best players of all time, the best shooter of all time and he is still underrated.
When you consider his stats adjusted per 36 mins, since he would sit out a lot of 4th quarter and then consider how stats have become inflated since then due to changes in rules such as the offensive rebound shot lock being shortened to add about 3-4 mins of extra game time, Steph still has the greatest offensive season in NBA history IMO.
No. The argument can go to Wilt Chamberlain, then Jordan in 1988. Then the season James Harden averaged 36. Those players combine offense with defense. And honestly, Lebron was better than Curry in 2016
@@IamNotTrey Just because someone puts a video on RU-vid doesnt mean everyone will agree with it. People have their own takes on greatest offensive seasons
2016 curry was so dominant that NBA 2k Struggled to put him in the video Game without something being broken in the gameplay bc the Stuff he Was doing was unreal🔥🔥🔥
It was appointment television. You weee looking up online when the Warriors were playing just to see it with your our own eyes. The stats and numbers, as historic as they were, don’t even do it justice. It was unlike anything we’d ever seen and it all ended like a Hollywood blockbuster.
2022 run was electrifying as well. Curry saying "you don't want to see us next year" to then carrying GSW on his back to beat the Celtics. They 4-1'd the Nuggets I believe. He also made the record for the most points in a game 7. That shit was just cold.
nope. It only makes it LESS impressive. He was down 3-1. Why were you losing like that? Second, that’s lebrons only win against the warriors, they lost 3 other times. The rivalry was clearly one sided.
Man i just whish the warriors would have finishd that season with a championship if they did it would have been the perfect season and probably have curry top 3 all time rn but no Draymond had to get suspended and LeBron had to go insane 😂
And yes, he chokes in the finals. Everyone in the league knows how bad lossing important games is. But steph put so many great performances in that year. That year changed the entire league. The entire basketball world. Everyone saying logo dame, but steph started it all. Steph making threes like it is a lay up for him.
Curious how they feel the need to mention LeBron for being regular season MVP and second in DPOY when Jordan won both awards in 1988 in addition to leading the league in scoring and steals that same year. How does LeBron’s season deserve a mention among these great players’ performances?
@@SagaTheFunniest1988 Jordan. 35 points per game. 3.2 steals per game. 1.6 blocks per game. NBA DPOY and MVP. Overall better than 2016 Curry. Dominant in offense and defense. Defense matters
Lmao Wilt 50.4 pts 25+ rebounds well over 10 blocks a game they didnt count them then! Thats the season of all time! Had 3 or 4 other years close to that!
@15:10 you can thank NBA leaderships greed for that one.... blew a 3-1 lead? nah... bron, kyrie, love and their backup were great, but thats not what caused the final result. Blew a 3-1 lead? go listen to some former and current NBA players on podcasts, former warriors and cavs players, former champions and HOF players from other teams. It has been said over and over: NBA makes refs look for certain things at certain games, certain players at certain games, certain teams during playoffs. The NBA forces refs to HELP teams from a bigger franchise or players with a bigger fanbase or brand to stay in the playoffs in the early rounds. 2016, 3-1 for the warriors, 5 seconds before the whistle on draymond when he swipes at lebron, there are 2 defensive fouls by lebron+kyrie 1 flagrant by lebron and a technical by lebron that just didnt generate a whistle..... WHILE A REF IS IN FULL VIEW OF THE CAMERA'S WATCHING IT HAPPEN LIKE A HAWK. Draymond got teched, tossed and after the final whistle suspended for the next game.... even curry ejection for the mouthpiece the next game.... What did lebron(+kyrie) do in the 5 seconds leading up to draymond recieving the tech (which rlly was tech worthy)? 1 Lebron grabs draymonds arms as draymond sets a screen, pulls him into him and slides past to guard curry 2 kyrie then pushes draymond back into lebron, they collide 3 Lebron then hooks draymonds extended arm and flings it up over draymonds shoulder (lebron foot is behind draymond leg by coincidence) and draymond falls on his back rlly hard! 4 Lebron steps over draymonds torso while draymond tries to get up and they make contact. (thats why draymond swipes at him...) 0 whistles by the refs untill draymond swipes AND MISSES, with atleast 2 refs looking at it and the play/ball was less than 6 ft from these events as they unfolded. The reason why refs didnt whistle lebron is clear as day: REVENUE... drag out a longer series. At this point warriors had the series 3-1, warriors had the game.. they were up by 10 and had posession.. they had the best regular season ever in NBA history and the only ever unanimous MVP. This game was over... this series was over... never had a team in the finals come back from 3-1... well, the LEAGUE made the REFS ensure a 3-1 comeback was now possible. And i got nothing against Lebron... hes fenominal, but the NBA is so corrupted, it fixes games for revenue End of rant
@@Brando90198 FYI mentioning another situation/year and saying it didnt happen that time doesnt make the situation/year i mentioned untrue. That, and im just repeating what NBA players with and without ties to GSW say about the 2016 finals.
@@Brando90198 stop being lazy with your responses, 2016 finals is almost 8 years ago and it was a series, not a game. they lost way more games and playoffs series since then.... i aint talking about losing. that game was fixed because of what happened in games 4 and 5 and the suspension of draymond. and this isnt my opinion as a fan, its my opinion as a viewer and the opinion of alot of NBA and former NBA players that have said so on podcasts!
@@86niisan8686 draymonds suspension was because of his past actions. He didn’t get suspended solely for the Lbj incident. If he had not one of the prior offenses, he wouldn’t have been suspended! FYI that first novel you wrote. Ain’t no one type all that without being a super fan. I didn’t even read it, just last sentence. This is the comment section not a kindle.
Ngl i kind of refuse to acknowledge anything wilt did in the early days. Dude was playing against bums. Dont get me wrong if he played today hed still be a super star but not bigger than jokic, embiid.
People need to stop living in the moment the greatest regular season ever stat wise was 87 Jordan nobody achieved more awards that year than MJ only award he didn't have was finals mvp he had everything else
It's perfect Barkley missed all his outside shots during his Curry clinic showing us why Sir Charles is still the worst 3 point shooter all time. Literally the anti-Steph. But, Chuck leads in havin' more San Antonio women.
No it doesn’t. You just ONLY look at that to have on curry and boost lebrons legacy. They were literally down 3-1, you suck if you’re losing like that in the first place. Secondly, that’s lebrons ONLY WIN against Curry in all their years in the finals😂. You BARELY WON a single series in a 5+ year rivalry 😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Um, the greatest to ever play to me is 1A Micheal Jordan, then 1B is Kobe Bryant! Then whoever. Lebron should be compared to Magic and Steph should be compared to an Allen Iverson! Nuff said! MIC DROP!
False. There is offense and defense. Many players have been elite offensively and defensively in the same season - Wilt, Jordan, Kobe, LeBron, Kahwi, Hakeem, and Giannis. They have all had better overall seasons because they were elite two-way players. If we are only talking offense, then he might have had the best offensive season in NBA history. He certainly had the best shooting season in NBA history.
so ur saying he was a better defender than any of those players while they avrageed around the same amount ov points with elite defense all time defense@@lucidstudious750
Lead the league in scoring. Top 5 in 3p% lead the league in % finishing inside. While shooting 90% from the FT line. All of that while being on the lost for the most improve player while being a back to back MVP. He was too good that season.
Sorry. In 2016, Lebron was clearly better than Curry. NBA isnt just about scoring. Defensive, playmaking, rebounding, etc. Warriors might of actually won in 2016 if Curry was capable of defense. But Lebron was overall better than Curry in 2016, 2017, and 2018
No he wasn’t, you just don’t know basketball. Curry is a steals champion which he won in 2016. You’re just a salty Cavs fan who lost 3 times to the warriors😂. Lebron wasn’t better he lost all of those years, lost 2015, down 3-1 2016 he basically lost that, 2017 L, SWEPT 🧹 2018. Better THAN WHO😂?
