@@skap_attackwhat’s funny is how everyone criticizes curry for being “saved” by Durant’s 3 point shots in games 3 of the 17 and 18 finals (doesn’t even make sense since they were already up 2-0 in the series).

When Durant made that long 3 with 50 seconds left, golden state was up 103-100, giving them a 106-100 lead after making the shot. If curry makes clutch shots with even a 1 point lead these same people say he’s a front runner, but when he gave his team the lead taking shot and then put them up 4, and then Durant made a shot with the lead, hes clutch and bailed out curry.
I think Thinking Basketball has a great video describing how KD was literally getting open looks during his warriors tenure because defenses were not willing to even consider helping off of curry. KD is a great player in his own right but lets be honest here Curry’s gravity was essentially a free stat pad
Facts. KD went to the absolute most ideal situation for his style of play. Essentially all he was asked to do was play solid enough team defense and score on the block. KD if nothing else, is probably the most efficiently greatest scorer in NBA history. So all he was required to do offensively was do what he does best, score. Steph was shooter, scorer, facilitator, playmaker, crowd igniter etc. He was the engine that drove that GS offense even when KD was there.
Idk man if you had eyes in 2015-2017 Steph curry was the scariest player in the league no lead was safe no lag in defense was allowed for 50 feet, seemed like every close playoff game was destroyed by a nba2k version of a third quarter the man is special might never see a shooter like that again

Curry is the MJ and Kobe of the current era, my era, I never got to witness MJ, witnessed Kobe’s final few years but Curry’s legacy is starting to reminisce Kobe’s and MJ’s and if Curry gets 1 or 2 more rings his legacy will be up there with them, not saying he’ll be the better player than them because MJ will always be the Goat to me and Kobe is a top 3 player imo but Curry will be looked at the same way we look at MJ and Kobe! After all Curry changed the game, some love it some hate it but whatever you think about it you have to admit that Curry is an all time great because how many players in ANY sport can you say have changed the outlook and aspect of how that certain sport and game is played, there’s not many people that have done but Curry is one of those few that HAVE!!!!!
The difference between KD and Steph is that Steph is a system, a leader, and a consistent winner. Steph’s playoff win percentage without KD is 65%, whereas KD without Steph is 47%. KD is just a scorer who folds under pressure, which is why he had to join a team with an already lethal offense to relieve some pressure off his shoulders in the post season.
i remember the first video you made that didn’t completely cater to my exact opinion was your steph video. i didn’t wanna watch it because you had a slam dunk case against everyone else except i was ready to agree with you on those before the video started. anyways, i enjoyed your first steph video and i also was happy to see you give him his props when he earns them too. you’re my favorite sports channel

@@michaelkirschner6009Curry had dominated Lebron is Lebrons own “era”. That’s also without jumping from super team to super team. If Steph was like Lebron he’d be on a team with 2 other all stars or at the very least a top 10 player. Curry has what? A washed Klay? And he’s still gonna carry his team further than Lebron😂
The fact that Steph won before and after KD while KD does not even have 1 chip without Steph should just kill the arguement completely. Its almost like having an arguement between a guy with a losing finals record and a guy with no final loses and more rings.
Curry does have 2 finals loss which was against the 2015-2016 Cavs, but that barely changes a thing. W comment btw Steph SONS KD and it isn't even close
I agree. I saw it as a counter to LeBron James taking media ordained shortcuts! It was like when Michael Jackson made a 13-minute "Thriller" music video, then Prince responding with the "Purple Rain" big screen motion picture. LeBron=checkers, Durant=chess in 2017!

I keep tellin mfers that steph was the backbone of those teams... even wit durant... no steph, no chip... he was unquestionably the leader of that team and that leadership was needed to win.
Glad you're coming around to Curry! I've always felt he was unfairly hated on mostly by covert Lebron fans who felt he deprived their chosen one of his rightful championships
fr it was a little disheartening seeing the criticism Skap had of steph in the past, but it's soooooo refreshing to see him finally coming around to him
OKC: Young Superteam GSW: Borderline superteam even without him Nets: Super-what could possibly go wrong-team Suns: Superteam Guess what happened with every non-Curry super team he played for! 🤣💩
That winning shot is one thing LeFraud has never been able to do. If you want to talk about dominance it has to be GSW and Curry NOT LeSoft, he never dominated he lost 6 of his finals appearance and never took the last shot. KD is the softest player in this era joined the GSW after they whipped his A** the year before. Im glad more and more people like you are exposing these Entitled super soft player that all they do is shooting 3's and they think that is goat material. RIDICULOUS. You can NEVER EVER compare this super soft cup cake era to the real eras of 80s 90s and 00s. Curry changed the NBA with his shooting and moving from screens while LeRoid James just ruined it with his soft stack up teams and help of Silver's softest Rules allowing these clowns to travel, flop, carry the ball and load management. Hope the European players help fixing this with their sense of competence and winning the right way... Jokic, Lika, Giannis...
To be fair, KD has gotten crazy unlucky with injuries since leaving the Warriors. The Nets super team played 13 games together and KD was a toe away from beating the Bucks and dragging them to a ring anyway. His past 2 years playoffs have certainly been disappointing by his standards, but if KD gets a ring without Steph, then we have a Shaq and Kobe situations where one has more finals MVPs, but the other has more rings since the split.
Skap Attack is just like me when deciding what to eat, having a few ideas but always end up with the same dish, same with your videos, just that you always end up insulting Bron 😂
it doesn't even matter whats happening to the warriors this year. curry has been hard carrying that squad since 2013, look at the gravity a now 35yo curry still draws on the floor. it's utter madness how frightened teams are of that man. you can't tell me he hasn't been the the one guy in everyone's head for over a decade now. no one else in the league draws that type of defense. no one else in the league has to work so hard for thier shot. hell since 2013 when the spurs blasted the heat teams have just been sagging off lbj and letting him shoot. dude hasn't had to work to get an open jumper in a decade, yet instead of just eviscerating everyone from outside lbj still bulrushes the hoop in hopes of being bailed out with trips to the line. it's sorta embarrassing for the "king" to steal from nick wright, if the aliens come down from outer space and saw BB for the first time at any point in the last 10 years there is little doubt they'd think the point of the game was to stop curry. i don't think we need to look any further for who owned the 2010s.
Steph doesn’t own KD now… in matchups head to head KD is 21-14 on Steph.. however that was one of the greatest shots I ever saw.. he unlocked something in that moment!!
Finally giving Curry some Credit. I've always told people that the GSW real MVP is Curry, Durant looks Good Because Curry took away all the problem Durant will have if he didn't have a Curry next to him. Like everyone who had played with Curry (Green, Klay, Pool,). Also one of the biggest factor is Curry had the mike effect. And it ain't just in this instance of being Clutch. Children literally wanted to be like Curry - they literally are throwing 3's because of Curry When Curry plays in Christmas games or the Finals - People literally Goes to Park to play or talk about it and Curry's presence alone can literally fill in the arena. Curry's shoes doesn't sell Like mike but the Brand Curry represents get into the conversation of most successful brands like what happened to Nike with MJ on Court. Curry takes all the defense to the point his team gets free looks. - Mike to Kerr where defensive assignment gets concentrated on mike. Fouling call - They literally need to tackle curry or actually harm him to stop him from gaining points and still ends up getting that point most times. -Like Mike against piston.
KD haters don't know how great KD is. There is a difference between becoming great and being great all the time that's the difference between KD & Curry. KD was great even before entering the NBA and since his rookie year he is consistently playing well. Just imagine what if Westbrook played with curry and Durant for warriors. KD would have got rings. First stop comparing KD with Curry. KD can do everything better than curry except shooting long range 3 and quick release because of his size that's the only thing he can't do like Curry but every other thing he does it better efficiently, Curry is nowhere near to KD in defense then how on earth these kids keep comparing KD with Curry. If Curry is the best shooter god has ever created then why can't he shoot at least 50%??? Yes, in my opinion he is the best shooter nothing to deny that.. I love curry.. Anthony Edwards, Fox & SGA is shooting better, can we say they are better than curry by just comparing last 2 season??.. When you are comparing someone you need to look back at their historical records otherwise don't compare.. If you take a poll with all NBA players past and present, 80% of the players would pick KD.. Curry takes more shots than KD and yet he is averaging just 24 for this entire career where as KD averages 27.3. Curry is 18th all time and KD is in top 5 all time with the best shooting average how incredible his stats are?? KD scored 50% or more in the last 12 seasons consistently and chef curry scored 50% only once in his entire career, this one stat is more than enough to know who is a better player offensively..Why did LeBron pick KD twice over curry, why do a lot of current players pick Durant as his favourite player?? KD isn't the same player ever since the Achilles..
The biggest issue with NBA fans is believing media narratives Narratives ruin everything. Jokic didnt deserve mvp, curry was healthy during the 2016 finals, curry was carried by kd, soft fouls never occurred in past eras curry is a defensive liability etc. All of these statements are false narratives passed on by media
That was the cleanest game winning lob I've seen in a while. He nearly did a 180 and barely had time to line it up yet his release was smooth as butter. He has perfected the single motion shooting form which is so f'in hard to do. I really wish you'd stop editing in clips from other games so close together though.
Steph better but how good they looked together compared to other super teams that don’t look half as impressive shows how good those guys really are imo
People assume just bc u put a bunch of superstars on 1 team, it's an automatic championship. We see now it's not. They have to mesh in personalities, play styles, unselfisness etc. KD w Steph really were too dominant for the league.
Warriors have also been rolling right towards the toilet bowl got me rolling. 😂 We'll be fine. #Warriors4lyfe #strengthinnumbers #Greatestshooter #BestDefender #YoungSquadonfire
5:10 sums it up, look at how the entire team forgets about KD in the corner, and doesnt even wanna help after he blew out of that Bum, since they are focused on what play they will run for Steph
I really don't understand how anybody could think KD was a better player or left a bigger legacy than Steph when his best highlights are when he went to Steph for help lol. Steph is absolutely clear, both currently and all time.
THANK YOU! Steph is a G. He's not the goat (although he's probably the best shooter in history), but he's not LeBron begging for help every year and CHASING any other superstar to any team to be handed a title. Curry won before & after Durant. Curry should never be grouped with LeFlop, Embiid, Harden...
I can admit I was wrong about Curry in the past after really digging into those 17 and 18 runs. I STILL don't have him in the same stratosphere as Jordan or Kobe...BUT he definitely CLEARS Durant EASILY.
@@jessiegomez8209 from what I've read, Durant made the call. Curry didn't ask him to join. He wasn't opposed to it, so if you want you can ding him for that. But to say he begged Durant, that's a BIG stretch.
Thanks for another great video that follows closely to what is happening in sports! You are right on. Also Curry has a bigger heart than KD. He carried his teammates all the time through ups and downs, and never once called any of them "cats".
I hate his move to Golden State. But Lebron fans complaining about it better shut the F up 😂😂 their man was on his own superteam for the second time!! Lebron just got a taste of his own medicine. That's why none of these guys will ever be in Jordan or Kobe's league.
I've always told people that those 2 rings with KD did more to HURT Curry's career cuz all Curry really needed was an ACTUAL Center he could play off and another player that was good at Mid Range and a few 3s. And funny enough that is what the Nuggets have with an ACTUAL Center in Jokic, a Curry type in Murray and a Guy that can do mids or 3s in MPJ.
0:40 - Pierce, Allen, and KG marked the start but they were a couple years early and the only one.... though considering the age of these 3 maybe it was a super team with a lower case s. Allen and Bosh won Lebron his 2nd ring big time in the closing 27 seconds of that game 6 vs the spurs.
@Skap_attack, I waited throughout this video of a clip of Curry doing his dance routine that you've featured in a lot or your past videos. Disappointed and shocked it wasn't here haha. Still a great piece, nontheless.

After all Curry changed the game, some love it some hate it but whatever you think about it you have to admit that Curry is an all time great because how many players in ANY sport can you say have changed the outlook and aspect of how that certain sport and game is played, there’s not many people that have done but Curry is one of those few that HAVE!!!!!
The difference between KD and Steph is that Steph is a system, a leader, and a consistent winner. Steph’s playoff win percentage without KD is 65%, whereas KD without Steph is 47%. KD is just a scorer who folds under pressure, which is why he had to join a team with an already lethal offense to relieve some pressure off his shoulders in the post season.
💯 Currys court spacing helped KD
Whomever believes that Kd was the Dubs best player, clearly doesnt understand bball..it was and is Curry cristal clear...
BACK2BACK MVPs
Back2back fmvp
KD is a typical Vegas gambler. The house always wins. 😂🎉
i remember the first video you made that didn’t completely cater to my exact opinion was your steph video. i didn’t wanna watch it because you had a slam dunk case against everyone else except i was ready to agree with you on those before the video started. anyways, i enjoyed your first steph video and i also was happy to see you give him his props when he earns them too. you’re my favorite sports channel
Steph is a leader. You can utter his name in the same sentence with Kobe and MJ.
Lmao. 1 FMVP zero all defensive teams. Put down the pipe son.
@@dmking26 put down your pipe. You know steph has his mark on this generation. He has been robbed of accolades since the beginning. Tell me who you want me to compare him to in this generation... Ohhh let me guess, LBJ right? Cmon... You wanna say LBJ dont you.... 😂
@@dave52gLebron is overrated & a pussy, but he’s definitely above Steph. He has stats & accolades over him. What’s your argument for Curry?
@@dave52gLebron is overrated but he’s undoubtedly better than Curry lol. Stats & accolades say this.
I want you to be specific. How is someone with only 1 FMVP in 4 championships, only 4x All NBA 1st team, 0 defensive teams & who’s missed the playoffs 6 times in 15 years in the same conversation with the all time greats? Give me something concrete.
@@dmking26 he is a winner. He works with what he has unlike other players building superteams. He has 4 championships. He is carrying gsw. He is the best shooter of all time. LBJ has accolades with superteams and yet he has 4 chips. LBJ is the baby of the nba. Tell me any other guy with 4 chips in this generation?
Thank you. Love seeing Curry get the respect he deserves. Slowly but surely. Even KD last night called him the GOAT at his position and a top 5 all time player. History will acknowledge him as greater than LeBronze.
LeBron is better than Steph.
@@michaelkirschner6009 Lebron is arguably better than Curry but Curry is more respected and loved than Lebron.
@@michaelkirschner6009really because he beat lefraud 3 times. One without kd. Leflop always gets fouls even though he doesn't deserve them and Steph never get calls. Lequit goes from team to team complaining about how he never has help meanwhile Steph stayed with a team that would be nothing without him for 15 years.
@@michaelkirschner6009Curry had dominated Lebron is Lebrons own “era”. That’s also without jumping from super team to super team. If Steph was like Lebron he’d be on a team with 2 other all stars or at the very least a top 10 player. Curry has what? A washed Klay? And he’s still gonna carry his team further than Lebron😂
Curry fans are as delusional as lebron fans lmao.
Glad you recognised the chef
The fact that Steph won before and after KD while KD does not even have 1 chip without Steph should just kill the arguement completely. Its almost like having an arguement between a guy with a losing finals record and a guy with no final loses and more rings.
Curry does have 2 finals loss which was against the 2015-2016 Cavs, but that barely changes a thing. W comment btw Steph SONS KD and it isn't even close
everytime you say lebum's name, i can imagine the corresponding eye-roll as you say "braaaaaaahn"... 😂😂😂
The Warriors were able to win championships in 2017 and 2018, so in the end, Durant's move to the Warriors was the right decision.
In my personal opinion I think he joined to avoid competition with them
I agree. I saw it as a counter to LeBron James taking media ordained shortcuts! It was like when Michael Jackson made a 13-minute "Thriller" music video, then Prince responding with the "Purple Rain" big screen motion picture. LeBron=checkers, Durant=chess in 2017!
Agreed, but at least one of those FMVP trophies should have gone to Curry. Once again, Curry was robbed of a Finals MVP (The other was given to Iggy).
@@NobleSainted if you seen both 2017, and 18 on live tv it’s a clear winner that KD deserved those fmvps because the slash brothers really weren’t playing that good in those series
@@thefunguy5069I'll give you 17 for sure but in 2018 curry was the most valuable player but in game 3 of the finals be shot like 1-11 from 3 so they just gave it to kd at that point because he was consistent but after game 1 and 2 curry was the front runner for fmvp.
I keep tellin mfers that steph was the backbone of those teams... even wit durant... no steph, no chip... he was unquestionably the leader of that team and that leadership was needed to win.
This is a really good video, most of Skap’s takes are good and this is one of them
Glad you're coming around to Curry! I've always felt he was unfairly hated on mostly by covert Lebron fans who felt he deprived their chosen one of his rightful championships
fr it was a little disheartening seeing the criticism Skap had of steph in the past, but it's soooooo refreshing to see him finally coming around to him
Warriors .500 IN STYLE BABY! CURRY IS UNREAL!!!! 🥵🥵🔥🔥🔥🔥♥️♥️♥️♥️
Curry is the only one who can catch MJ…
Glad to see you've admitted your change of opinion on the two. Always a sign of a quality CZcamsr.
This is the best channel on YT
Ayeee you made a positive video about curry. Appreciate that one man!
Great game. One of the best moments from the weekend
Agree with this.
But I really like watching KDs game. It is fundamentally sound.
Curry is one of a kind. We won't see anyone else like him.
This game last night made me so happy. Seeing KD smirk after that 3 was just so satisfying 😂😂
Reminder, 3rd super team.
4th even, man was only on super teams
Literally NEVER played on a NON Superteam! Insane...
OKC: Young Superteam
GSW: Borderline superteam even without him
Nets: Super-what could possibly go wrong-team
Suns: Superteam
Guess what happened with every non-Curry super team he played for! 🤣💩
@@skap_attackyour just a bias hater . L vid
@@Yaqztrey5 Weak.
@@soloistdeve weak but has a top 15 player resume without the warriors. Loo
Killer KILLER stat analysis. Damn. Elevated ish right there Skap!
Ppl tried to act like I’d better lol nah! Curry most feared man on the planet
That winning shot is one thing LeFraud has never been able to do. If you want to talk about dominance it has to be GSW and Curry NOT LeSoft, he never dominated he lost 6 of his finals appearance and never took the last shot. KD is the softest player in this era joined the GSW after they whipped his A** the year before. Im glad more and more people like you are exposing these Entitled super soft player that all they do is shooting 3's and they think that is goat material. RIDICULOUS. You can NEVER EVER compare this super soft cup cake era to the real eras of 80s 90s and 00s. Curry changed the NBA with his shooting and moving from screens while LeRoid James just ruined it with his soft stack up teams and help of Silver's softest Rules allowing these clowns to travel, flop, carry the ball and load management. Hope the European players help fixing this with their sense of competence and winning the right way... Jokic, Lika, Giannis...
How this channel isn't over 100k is crazy to me
To be fair, KD has gotten crazy unlucky with injuries since leaving the Warriors. The Nets super team played 13 games together and KD was a toe away from beating the Bucks and dragging them to a ring anyway. His past 2 years playoffs have certainly been disappointing by his standards, but if KD gets a ring without Steph, then we have a Shaq and Kobe situations where one has more finals MVPs, but the other has more rings since the split.
I love this channel
Skap Attack is just like me when deciding what to eat, having a few ideas but always end up with the same dish, same with your videos, just that you always end up insulting Bron 😂
it doesn't even matter whats happening to the warriors this year. curry has been hard carrying that squad since 2013, look at the gravity a now 35yo curry still draws on the floor. it's utter madness how frightened teams are of that man. you can't tell me he hasn't been the the one guy in everyone's head for over a decade now. no one else in the league draws that type of defense. no one else in the league has to work so hard for thier shot. hell since 2013 when the spurs blasted the heat teams have just been sagging off lbj and letting him shoot. dude hasn't had to work to get an open jumper in a decade, yet instead of just eviscerating everyone from outside lbj still bulrushes the hoop in hopes of being bailed out with trips to the line. it's sorta embarrassing for the "king"
to steal from nick wright, if the aliens come down from outer space and saw BB for the first time at any point in the last 10 years there is little doubt they'd think the point of the game was to stop curry. i don't think we need to look any further for who owned the 2010s.
Great video!! 👌👍👍
Daily Heat Checks from the good homie.
"The Warriors have been hot....steamy.....ass all season long" delivered me. I'm audibly laughing
Hopefully Steph & KD face off in the playoffs
The entire era sucks. A bunch of guys who would be second tier in the dead ball era teaming up to get cheap chips.
Lol I’m definitely not disagreeing with you here…at all 😂
Durant can be proud he is a top 500 all time player.
🤣😆🤣😆
Statistically, he is easily top 20-25.
Just a few spots behind Jokic, who has actually won as the undisputed best player on his own team.
@@kostastube2010your smoking crack
I love how u emphasize certain words to enhance sarcasm hilarious 😂
U know he's directly mimicking John Rome, right?
@bandoogiemanz who? Idgaf who he's mimicking he's telling the truth
Shaq pretty much pulled a KD by teaming up with multiple top 75 players.
Shaq and Penny were both drafted. Kobe wasn't Kobe when Shaq went to LA.
Steph doesn’t own KD now… in matchups head to head KD is 21-14 on Steph.. however that was one of the greatest shots I ever saw.. he unlocked something in that moment!!
Finally giving Curry some Credit. I've always told people that the GSW real MVP is Curry, Durant looks Good Because Curry took away all the problem Durant will have if he didn't have a Curry next to him. Like everyone who had played with Curry (Green, Klay, Pool,). Also one of the biggest factor is Curry had the mike effect.
And it ain't just in this instance of being Clutch.
Children literally wanted to be like Curry - they literally are throwing 3's because of Curry
When Curry plays in Christmas games or the Finals - People literally Goes to Park to play or talk about it and Curry's presence alone can literally fill in the arena.
Curry's shoes doesn't sell Like mike but the Brand Curry represents get into the conversation of most successful brands like what happened to Nike with MJ
on Court.
Curry takes all the defense to the point his team gets free looks. - Mike to Kerr where defensive assignment gets concentrated on mike.
Fouling call - They literally need to tackle curry or actually harm him to stop him from gaining points and still ends up getting that point most times. -Like Mike against piston.
KD haters don't know how great KD is. There is a difference between becoming great and being great all the time that's the difference between KD & Curry. KD was great even before entering the NBA and since his rookie year he is consistently playing well. Just imagine what if Westbrook played with curry and Durant for warriors. KD would have got rings. First stop comparing KD with Curry. KD can do everything better than curry except shooting long range 3 and quick release because of his size that's the only thing he can't do like Curry but every other thing he does it better efficiently, Curry is nowhere near to KD in defense then how on earth these kids keep comparing KD with Curry. If Curry is the best shooter god has ever created then why can't he shoot at least 50%??? Yes, in my opinion he is the best shooter nothing to deny that.. I love curry.. Anthony Edwards, Fox & SGA is shooting better, can we say they are better than curry by just comparing last 2 season??.. When you are comparing someone you need to look back at their historical records otherwise don't compare.. If you take a poll with all NBA players past and present, 80% of the players would pick KD.. Curry takes more shots than KD and yet he is averaging just 24 for this entire career where as KD averages 27.3. Curry is 18th all time and KD is in top 5 all time with the best shooting average how incredible his stats are?? KD scored 50% or more in the last 12 seasons consistently and chef curry scored 50% only once in his entire career, this one stat is more than enough to know who is a better player offensively..Why did LeBron pick KD twice over curry, why do a lot of current players pick Durant as his favourite player??
KD isn't the same player ever since the Achilles..
Great video
Could you make a vid talking bout Russ and his career I think you would have a lot of interesting takes on him
I’ve touched on Russ before. But only once and it was early on in my channel growth. I can definitely revisit him 🙏
The biggest issue with NBA fans is believing media narratives
Narratives ruin everything. Jokic didnt deserve mvp, curry was healthy during the 2016 finals, curry was carried by kd, soft fouls never occurred in past eras curry is a defensive liability etc. All of these statements are false narratives passed on by media
That was the cleanest game winning lob I've seen in a while. He nearly did a 180 and barely had time to line it up yet his release was smooth as butter. He has perfected the single motion shooting form which is so f'in hard to do. I really wish you'd stop editing in clips from other games so close together though.
Worst two things KD ever did was one going to GS and two leaving GS.
This was a game omg big facts
KD > Curry
I’ll take one of the greatest scorers over a 3-Point shooter who ruined the game.
KD destroyed his legacy when he came to GS and when he left GS. Seem like the most nonsensical statement ever but somehow it holds water
Steph better but how good they looked together compared to other super teams that don’t look half as impressive shows how good those guys really are imo
People assume just bc u put a bunch of superstars on 1 team, it's an automatic championship. We see now it's not. They have to mesh in personalities, play styles, unselfisness etc. KD w Steph really were too dominant for the league.
@@ttmho96 exactly no one mentions that the warriors gave up half their depth to obtain K
Warriors have also been rolling right towards the toilet bowl got me rolling. 😂
We'll be fine. #Warriors4lyfe #strengthinnumbers #Greatestshooter #BestDefender #YoungSquadonfire
Very TRUE, Curry is something, if not great! Just sayin' this Dude has change the way the game is played these days. Think About it!
Good vid fam
5:10 sums it up, look at how the entire team forgets about KD in the corner, and doesnt even wanna help after he blew out of that Bum, since they are focused on what play they will run for Steph
Nice.
Idk about this one.. KD showed in the Toronto series who the guy was as the only net positive when he came in
I really don't understand how anybody could think KD was a better player or left a bigger legacy than Steph when his best highlights are when he went to Steph for help lol.
Steph is absolutely clear, both currently and all time.
Love me some skap attack. Man isnt afraid to say what we’re all thinking and defo isnt afraid to admit when he was wrong
THANK YOU! Steph is a G. He's not the goat (although he's probably the best shooter in history), but he's not LeBron begging for help every year and CHASING any other superstar to any team to be handed a title. Curry won before & after Durant. Curry should never be grouped with LeFlop, Embiid, Harden...
I can admit I was wrong about Curry in the past after really digging into those 17 and 18 runs. I STILL don't have him in the same stratosphere as Jordan or Kobe...BUT he definitely CLEARS Durant EASILY.
Sorry.Curry begging Durant to join him will never be forgotten for a long time.😂
@@skap_attack mad respect! And you're right, no one is or should put him up there with Jordan, Kobe, etc. Plus he doesn't self gloss either.
@@jessiegomez8209 from what I've read, Durant made the call. Curry didn't ask him to join. He wasn't opposed to it, so if you want you can ding him for that. But to say he begged Durant, that's a BIG stretch.
i don’t like how the narrative has shifted to hating KD , he top 3 fav player aot for me
Thanks for another great video that follows closely to what is happening in sports!
You are right on. Also Curry has a bigger heart than KD. He carried his teammates all the time through ups and downs, and never once called any of them "cats".
I hate his move to Golden State. But Lebron fans complaining about it better shut the F up 😂😂 their man was on his own superteam for the second time!! Lebron just got a taste of his own medicine. That's why none of these guys will ever be in Jordan or Kobe's league.
Take your feelings out the game, KD is better 😂😂😂😂
Dude you should post thrice a day
I've always told people that those 2 rings with KD did more to HURT Curry's career cuz all Curry really needed was an ACTUAL Center he could play off and another player that was good at Mid Range and a few 3s. And funny enough that is what the Nuggets have with an ACTUAL Center in Jokic, a Curry type in Murray and a Guy that can do mids or 3s in MPJ.
0:40 - Pierce, Allen, and KG marked the start but they were a couple years early and the only one.... though considering the age of these 3 maybe it was a super team with a lower case s.
Allen and Bosh won Lebron his 2nd ring big time in the closing 27 seconds of that game 6 vs the spurs.
Draymond thought he won the game for them. 😆
Draymond forgot his own team’s record on the season.
Curry one of the best of all time ain't no doubt
Where was this energy when Kd put up 32 and 8 on 50% shooting and curry had 16 points on 40% shooting . Y’all just hate Kd .
They apparently didn’t see it.
Thank you skapp for telling the truth Charles Barkley was right kevin durant is a bus rider.
@Skap_attack, I waited throughout this video of a clip of Curry doing his dance routine that you've featured in a lot or your past videos. Disappointed and shocked it wasn't here haha. Still a great piece, nontheless.
STEPH CURRY IS HIM!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
