Steph Curry owns the 3-point shot, talks Russell Westbrook trade rumors - Colin | NBA | THE HERD 

Mark Price smaller and less accurate version of Curry was all star playing in the PHYSICAL ERA of basketball.. Give me a break...

Physical ERA basketball means less skilled because we canNOT move our feet to play defense so we HACKED and called it being physical... LOL

if he talked more basketball he would be number 1

@@waleedomer1515 na this is a rare good take. 90% of the time u dont want colin talking basketball lmao. and this is coming from a huge colin fan

Why did he stop taking NBA as much? It's crazy cuz this is his bread & butter 🍞 🧈

Wow. I had no idea. If you’d asked me how much older Russ is than Steph I woulda said 6 years. Same age?!?!? Wowww

whether or not i agree with colin, he’s been killing it lately. can’t stop watching

Dude shot 5-14 from deep last night; with a hand check that happens every other game

Lol, he’s 43% all time 3point percentage. That stat will never be broken

His handles and passing are tremendously underrated.

As a Knicks fan realizing the Knicks were set on drafting him until Golden State took him one pick before…

@@philr559 wolves had two stabs at him and picked two point guards not named Steph Curry🙃

Like your mom

Colin always on point dude his takes be god tier even the ones I don’t agree with are elaborated on well

That’s true man. It’s hard for fans to give in to their fave players being not near what they used to be, but for the media honest broker he can. To fans that aren’t “fanatic” tho it was pretty easy to see all those players where they were heading. None of them were adaptable

Ngl Bro these are easy takes lmao

@@jacobmontgomery1954 Westbook fell in love with the triple double and thats what killed his career honestly, cause i think he could have lasted longer and been a better player if he adpted like Butler and CP3 and focused on what he does well instead of tryingto prove doubters wrong

We can’t really speak on Wall at the moment

facts, one of the reason Spurs dominated the league for so long was cause of ball movement and skilled played while the rest of the league was getting used to losing hand-checking and the addition of zone defense which didnt exist in the 90's and earlier, people think NBA just took away hand-checking and didnt give the defense a weapon to over come losing hand-checking lol...back in the day help defense was a foul by refs in people dont even realise that cause they are more focused on what they lost instead of what they gained

not just 3 point shooter, just shooter period.

@@johndelacruz30 not sure about his mid range though. 🤔

@Volrath still wouldn’t put him over Bird.

I’ve have to agree with you for now, but it’s natural progression that somebody else will come along the way and will be an even better shooter than Steph Curry, just think about, he has influenced a lot of the younger generation and you will all see it.

@@ricmolina28 another Ring will that do and finals MVP I already put him past Bird tho

Defense is thee most important You if you can stop your opponent than your in the driver seat

@@JAYTHEARTIST2004 both defense and shooting is very important Those are the very first thing coaches and trainers teach you when you join a team or a camp as a kid

Every player you named are generational, hall of famers. They would be great in any era, regardless of style of play. They had no limitations.

I hope you're including KD, Curry, LeBron, Giannis and Gobert in there. If you are I completely agree and every old-head should stop making the argument of "in my era..." If you aren't including the modern players idk what to say to you. Give me a reason why Dr. J Is generational and Curry isn't.

All the players you named. Including the current players. If I talk to someone and they say that " this guy couldn't play in a certain era" , and the player is an all time great, I refuse to talk to them any longer. It's ridiculous.

@@tampatint9958 ah fair play. Yeah that was the purpose of the original comment. It's a useless argument that people on "first take" shows have to make to extend the run time to 30 minutes. Has never held any weight as an actual argument

I agree with your point, but I'm curious why you think mj would have to shoot 10 3's a game to be efficient today?

Yes !

And he can shoot anywhere, handle the ball pretty good and knows how to use his height and angles to pass. He is a skilled big guy

There’s other ways to set the table then just being a constant ball handler and passing. Stephs other 4 players get easier/better looks than Magic or CP3s teammates ever have.

The GREATEST shooter of all time! Greatest scorer? Other discussion

Lebron and Kobe played before and after hand check and still dominated

Bruh durant would get his narrow spine snapped wtf u talkin about 😂

@@FoSho949 Doc J, Alex English had the same body as KD. Long and thin. They survived tho. Great players will adopt no matter what.

None of the things you named would stop steph half the guys on the court wouldn’t even know how far out to guard steph he can literally hit shots from nearly half court consistently ain’t no stopping that

You obviously didn't listen to a word hr said. 🙄

It’s not so much he hasn’t tried, it’s just he isn’t really good at basketball and it’s hurting the team.

@@LeChina LMFAO

@@LeChina He's athletically gifted. He was never in the conversation for any skill ability. He can't handle the ball, pass or shoot. His numbers only look good because of his super high usage, but with his passing come with the turnovers (it's why we look at assist:turnover ratios), with his shooting come the bricks (it's why we look at FG%). And most of his assists were dump-off dunks to Steven Adams. Westbrook really does owe a lot to Adams, all those assists off dunks and all those rebounds that Adams boxed out for but tapped to Westbrook.

If Lebron was smart he would let Westbrook run that offense. Westbrook is the closes thing to Magic Johnson. He can make the game easy for Lebron and AD the same way Magic did with the showtime Lakers

@@cdgates1 this couldn't be more wrong lmao. Westbrook the closest to magic? Lebron has been called the closest thing to magic his whole career

Agreed

It only works when you have a winning record. The Lakers are stuck at .500 25 games in. You dont experiment like this for a team with championship aspirations.

i remember they said the same thing with the 17-18 thunder 😂😂

Right. And the adjustment that they'll make is to surround him w/ a piston badboys type of teamates to protect him at all cost.

good take

Curry's ankles have been fine for the last 6-7 years, I don't know why anyone's still bringing up that one year he missed. And people were trying to hurt everyone in the 80's, fans just got to see more fighting and less basketball.

Fair argument 💯

His ankles got fixed because great PT’s taught him how to use his hips/glutes properly. They didn’t have that quality of doctors back in the 80s and he would have had a short career.

I agree. I never wanted KD to go to the Warrior's because I knew Steph would take a step back, and get over looked because he's Steph.

@@quanemerson1054 that's exactly what I thought. It's easy for a fan to see everything KD does, but the things that Steph does is kinda hard to see and appreciate.

If Mugsy Bogues and Isiah Thomas could play in the 80’s tough era, why not Steph who is smarter and can shoot better? I don’t understand people who say this

Those guys were tough and not injury prone at the start of their career like steph was

that's what I'm saying, lakers throwing him under the bus...like everyone on the planet knew he wasn't going to adjust. that's dirty

He's a great defender. Athletic finisher but he's not a good shooter. He's offensive game is limited

Facts, they bought a lemon.

But they can't though

What firsts do they have that teams would want? Their only assets are THT and maybe Nunn who hasnt played. Rest of the roster is either untouchable or unwanted.

Nobody blamed kd for okc failures 😂

@@TimelessClothing96 Ok

@@TimelessClothing96 Exactly, people RIGHTFULLY blamed Russ back then too. NO ONE blamed KD for leaving. They blamed him for leaving and going to the team that just beat him and won 73 games lol. People had been saying KD needed to leave Westbrick if he ever wanted to win for YEARS! So Idk what this guy is talking about.

@@adgee5401 Idk what you're talking about. You can make your point without creating false narratives that never happened lol. Just say Westbrick sucks and you're a KD fan and leave it at that lol.. No one would criticize you lol.. But all this other made up nonsense is extra. No one blamed KD for OKC's failures. Russ took virtually ALL the blame whenever they'd lose. Especially in the playoffs. And rightfully so because Westbrick is trash!! Magic Johnson himself said Russ played the worst brand of basketball he'd ever witnessed during the finals. Every fan with an opinion, from big sports media personalities, to sports social media influencers, to your everyday barber shop fan would constantly criticize Russ for taking too many shots, not giving KD the ball enough, taking too many threes, and not giving the ball to KD especially in the clutch. So Idk what alternate reality media you were watching back then that was "blaming KD" but it wasn't the same media as the rest of us 😂. The ONLY criticism KD ever got back then was for his decision to go to the 73 win team that just bounced him out of the playoffs. Other than that, KD virtually could do no wrong in the eyes of the media. And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying KD deserved blame, because he didn't. Russ definitely earned and deserved all the criticism and blame that he recieved because he's an overrated, stat padding, triple double obsessed, overhyped loser year after year after year. All I'm saying is, the media definitely did NOT blame KD. For once, they got it right and put the blame where it belonged: right on Westbrick's shoulders. So I'm just lost as to why you're saying "the media is slamming Russ now while he's with LeBron, but blamed KD when him and Russ where in OKC"??? Because that's literally untrue. Russ is being blamed now the same way he was being blamed back then when he was with KD. There's literally no difference lol.

@@GodOfDestructionVegeta27 When I show you otherwise, then what?

Please! Everyone wasn't 2 way players. Half the players were tall, tough guys who couldn't hit the back of a barn door. They all didn't work on their skills.

Bruh 🤣🤣🤣
