Steph was already the best PG in the league and many many others have felt this way for years even my stepdad who is old asf and have seen the best of the best in basketball has said he's never been more entertained, impressed, and excited to see a player until Steph arrived and that right there to me spoke volumes #30🐐
And if your dad told you the world was flat would you believe him? Curry is the greatest 3 pt shooter of all time, after that he's less than average at the PG position.
What he really said was "I will win the game. You will do what the coach says. There will be no more discussion for the duration of the playoffs." I'm pretty sure they heard.
I think Curry is already the greatest PG to ever play the game. I think if he wins again, he'll be one of the best overall players to ever play the game.
That is hilarious considering Steph is a scorer and at the PG position, he's average at best. He is a one dimensional player that averages 6 assists with the ball in his hands 80% of the time. Curry over Magic is like picking Devin Booker over MJ. At the PG position I'm taking Magic (of course) Isiah, CP, Oscar, J West and John Stockton. All were better point guards, Steph was a better scorer than all mentioned not named Oscar. Unbelievable
@@billsikes4007 As Curry just gets 12 assists. Also Curry has one of the lowest superstar usage rates in the NBA so I would not say that.
@@drewdelucchi7992 Which was his highest playoff total in 10 years for him. This now puts him in the category of GOAT PG, seriously? Just wow.
He’s literally the only player who’s answer to a great defense is more offense
Half the defense....... double the offense.
What “great” defense. The last time he faced an actual defense in the playoffs (Toronto) even in diluted form due to today’s rules, he wasn’t nearly as effective.
@@mensrea1251 Ultra cap
@@stockdog821 That’s certainly true for one of us. Curry is the greatest shooter of the current generation but he would be a Trevor Langdon in the early 2000s.
Was routing for thr Kings, but man, you have to tip your cap to Curry that night. He was unstoppable.
For the kings?? What kind human are you? Lmao
It definitely was a rout
Curry was unstoppable. It seemed like they always close but couldn't lock Curry down.
I would listen to this guy everyday. What a voice
Already the best PG of all time don’t need another ring
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Stockton >
It’s a debate with Magic. Magic a better passer, better facilitator. Steph a better shooter.
@@ScubaDiverPicker Have you ever watched Steph? Clearly not.
All time?
Claiming as the best is being biased and ignorant
Put some respect to the players of past. All because you don't know their history
Right now Steph is the greatest shooter ever, he's a master ball handler, and he's a 4 time champ. It's not a stretch to call Steph one of the 10 greatest players ever.
He already is the best PG of all time and if he wins another ring, he will be the BEST PLAYER of any generation. Could not care less about what old heads think.
He scores with the same volume from the paint than Hakeem back in the day. All the talk about his shooting takes away how complete offensive player he really is.
Was literally searching for this...
Same here
The Baby Face Assassin. At your service ⛹️
In addition to the Bron Vs Steph dynamic, there is the Wiggins vs Russell thing too. Traded for each other and now meeting up in the post season.
Curry about to secure that lifetime Under Armour deal
Already did
They did that like 3 years ago 🤣🤣🤣
The greatest shooter the game has ever seen...that's what they all agree to. So then, here is my question. How can he not be in the top 5 of all time?
Greatest Point Guard if he gets another ring??? We gonna have a different convo beyond that if he get another one while playing in “Lebron’s era”.
True. He’s already top 10 in my books
Going through LeBron at that 😬
He should be higher than lebron if he beats him again
He is not a point guard he is more like a play maker.
Steph already the greatest PG ever!
RIGHT THIS DOWN THAT GAME WAS THE BEGINNING WAIT TILL ITS OVER THE BEST IS YET TO
COME
The Babyface Assassin 💥💥💥💥💥
Curry had an apostle Paul moment!!!
Rich legit 🫡
Steph is the bomb ❤ Go Dub Nation
If Steph wins this year he is in the Top 3 conversation. He is already in the argument for best PG off all-time in my book, could easily already be him. Another ring cements his status in the Top 5 and he needs to be in that Top 3 convo. My guy essentially said STFU get in the boat and row and Im gonna win that damn game and dropped 50.....what?
Steph is definitely the GOAT pg. He is GOAT overall level.
Steph already greatest pg ever and 10 all time.
I do believe Steph is the greatest point guard of all-time. All due respect to Magic but Steph can do everything he can and then some.
Warriors will be Warriors 💪🏻
They talk about this GOAT and that GOAT and the other GOAT but one name that never enters the conversation is Bill Russell. Remember Bill Russell?
He enters that goat debate if he wins it all this year. 5 rings during the LeBron era.
I don’t know how you can’t already have him in the discussion
@@iiDOCKERY I do, but mainstream media pushes it like it’s only mj and LeBron. If he wins this series they’ll only use this to hurt LeBrons narrative. But if Steph wins another ring they have to put him in that discussion
@@iiDOCKERY If Bron is in it with same amount of rings (including a never before & never again bubble ring) in waaay more time........
There is no GOAT debate. We can discuss 2-5.
If Curry could dunk and had an iconic shoe he would already be in the GOAT conversation.
Cause it's not about the number of rings like Bill Russell had or the help of talent around you which MJ & Lebron had with the Pippen, Rodman, Wades, Irvine etc. It's about hype and brand.
Nuggets vs Warriors could very well be the championship match
I've played bball for many years at the top levels and I've NEVER seen anything like CURRY!!!
STEPH is the 🐐💯💯💯💯💯💯👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🤣😄😄😁😃😃😂👍🏽👍🏽💯
Should by height: Steph is the greatest basketball player under 6’ 6”.
Too hard to compare Steph vs Russell or Magic.
WTF??? Seriously? I have to stop looking at comment sections with children discussing things they don't understand. Guess you don't need to play defense, hand out assists, get rebounds, or shoot a good percentage to be the greatest ever under 6'6, huh?
@@SDesWriter
He does all of that....
He's the only guy under 6'6 that's in the top 10 discussion. People don't respect his overall greatness because they only watch highlights of him shooting 3's.
@@SDesWriter
You're clearly a casual...
Rich can u please switch your nba champion this year from the nuggets to the warriors?
I think Steph is more of a 2 than 1......but regardless he is unbelievable definitely top 10 in my opinion. This is going to be a great series....i think Lebron is going to go off this series
Name a 2 that can handle the ball like Steph… I’ll wait
Steph wouldn't make my top 5 of today's players, let alone top 10 all time.
Why limit the argument to just point guards? I think Curry has a case for G.O.A.T basketball player.
You must be relatively young without having seen some of the all-time greats. That is the only way you could post something so utterly absurd.
Goat offensive player (mybe) But goat all around is Jordan. If we're talking players in their prime I'm still taking Jordan 1.
Please give us 7 epic games😮
Settled.
The case is settled. Its Steph.
3:44 backroom.. ghost.... batman..!!
He and Looney were apparently the only ones that took his speech to heart.
The shots weren’t falling for Klay and Poole, but their defensive effort were definitely up. Malik Monk couldn’t just get whatever he wanted like game 6. Even as Wiggins looked as if he struggled offensively, he still got his patented 17 points lmao
@@Hikayuhuy Facts
Nuggets are not stopping the Dubs. They always choke. I don't see anyone beating the GOAT and his team of Klay Dray Wiggs and Looney
GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT !!!!!! WAS NOT ABOUT THE THREES !!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope y’all know he was trollin about Marcus Thompson lol he’s been w curry his whole career 😂
HIM, Curry Happens...
FIDDY PIECE 💯💯💯💯💯👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😂😃😃😁😄😄🤣🤣😄😁😁😃😂😄🤣
Rich you BUTCHERED Steph while speech 🤣🤣🤣
he is not going to be the best point guard no, he got 4 and if he wins this one, he is placing himself into the goat discussion.
Lebron has moved all his chess pieces in place to be able to face Curry earlier in the playoffs when he’s (Lebron) fresher. So we get a chance to see how his effort pays off.
Top point guards in no particular order for reference:
Magic Johnson
John Stockton
Isiah Thomas
Oscar Robinson
Jason Kidd
Steve Nash
Bob Cousy
No curry? 🤡
@@chadhanover5446 That's the point of the post. Top pgs not named Curry so you can compare. Imo, it's Curry #1, Magic #2, Stockton #3
Cannon is goat!
Are
Curry is better than LeBron, better than Jordan.
The greatest player of this generation
Why dont they ever talk about the GOAT for fruit? Is it the banana or the apple?
The nonstop shooting of 3's is killin the game imo
Curry had 50 pts almost exclusively shooting 2s. Did you even watch the game?
Players are too good at shooting now. 40% threes is as good as 60% twos and nobody is shooting 60% twos unless he's Shaq.
Can we just refrain from all this knee jerk G.O.A.T talk whenever a present day superstar has an outstanding game? Why can't we stay in the moment, stop all the sheep like bleating and enjoy what we are witnessing. No "Greatest" talk from me as I reserve that descriptive for the one who blessed us with His breath of life!!!
I don't really buy into it meaning much, if anything. It was an amazing performance, but at the end of the day it was a first round series against a team they were expected to beat.
Yet he did the same thing last year against a team that was EXPECTED TO WIN in a championship series lol. But you tried though.
@@804MRMAN Yes, that's my point. It meant more for his legacy when he got 40 or whatever he got down 2-1 against the Celtics than this game did
@ianrobinson4200 Hmmm. For some reason I think you're straddling a fence between respect and disrespect lol.
@@804MRMAN Yeah, I guess. The fence I straddle is that Curry is one of my favourite players to watch, he's just sensational. But I always root against the Warriors, so I never want him to do too well because I want the other team to win
You realize that Jordan's legendary 63 point game was in the 1st rd and they also got swept in that series. He's legendary buzzer beater over Craig Ehlo was in the 1st rd too. FOH casual.
Talk about recency bias
If he gets a 5th I got him 5th after Kobe Magic Mj and Shaq
Lebron over Shaq
@@odoylerules03 your list sounds cool
People have short memories, huh? Acting as if Magic played a full, healthy and uninterrupted career... Nothing against Steph, he might be a top 5 ever along with Magic and Lebron, but Magic was one of a kind and we never even got to see his full career arc.
That’s how it goes tho
@@BigDal8604 I watched Magic (who was my fav before Steph) & Michael. I ain't forget. Propaganda just won't fool me into thinking Steph ain't better.
but . he . didnt . the proof is in the pudding, but the belief is in the tasting. . . cmon with those "what if's"
Magic also had a mount rushmore player. Kareem 😅
@@thej1615 Steph is better…injuries are a part of the game is what I’m saying…Steph might have more numbers if he wasnt injured his first 3 years
I want 7 games Lakers Vs Warriors and Curry to win it all again but my head says it's Laker year. You cannot have it all.
Enough with th "basketball gods" sounds silly. Theres not but One True and Living God and thats the God of Israel. Im a basketball fan but I just get tired of that term. If youre going to give credit, give it to where its due
Lakers in 6
Keep that energy. GSW will win….
@Athan nah they got off easy, kings are thr worst defense in NBA.. lakers are the best
Definitely in 6
Steph is not a point guard. He's a 2. He is a shooter first not a facilitator.
So every star point guard in the league are not point guards. The position has changed you old head
Klay is the 2
He’s the greatest shooter ever, he may not be traditional like Stockton or Magic, but he facilitates by attracting double teams and his presence alone leaves one teammate open.
I think some players dont fit the traditional positions. For example Lebron brings the ball up and initiates the offense a lot. Thats traditionally a point guard thing. No one confuses Bron for a PG.
If you are correct, who is the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th? Where do you put Thompson, Wiggins, Draymond and Looney? That's the starting lineup.🤔
Please don't use that term Curb stomp bro, I don't know if you know what that is, It's horrific violence I do know you've never been apart of. Because if you had, I wouldn't have to tell you this
Magic still better
It's weird how Steph gets this weird pass for half his chips coming from begging a guy to join his 73 win team and be his finals mvp for 2 of this chips.
Kobe had more than half his chips with Shaq as his finals mvp. We seem to give him a pass for that.
Okay let me help this narrative 1st off KD was a free agent and if u can pick up a Superstar u do that... thats dumb not 2. 2nd point he didnt beg him that deal didnt go down unless Curry said yeah which he did and agreed too. Now how about this how is it that Bron gets a pass making a Superteam u go join a Finals MVP and then add with a All star? Lets stop trying to create narratives when we can do a alot of nit picking.
@@kelvinrussell6318 you jus owned dat goofy ahh nikka. Now he silent 🤡
@Kelvin Russell Let's not forget about the part that Steph won before that "guy", with that "guy" and since that "guy". That "guy" haven't won anything without Steph. So what does that tell you?
Durant was a luxury that they really didn’t need. Great to have, but you can do without it. They were gonna win regardless.
Oh please. When did Eisen turn into such a cynical sell out. The rules are so different in today’s game. It’s tailored to Curry’s skill sets. His output would halve and his career would be shortened by a third if he were playing in the 80s and 90s.
