Catch an shoots are usually easier for shooters. Dame has to do more and he also uses on-ball screens less to get his shot off. I put Dame right in the same conversation with Steph shooting-wise for those reasons. I think if Dame had a shooter like Klay next to him and an offense that sole focus is getting him open, instead him always having to create for himself his percentages would increase given that type of environment and he'd be recognized by everyone as the same level of shooter as Steph maybe even better
Because he's handling the ball and creating shots that's why. The warriors system allows curry to take more catch and shoots because he's a great off ball player. He's better off ball than on the ball honestly imo.
Or just highlighted that Steph always has great teammates who can play make to give him open shots. Dame has never had a good play making big/wing. Steph usually has 2-4 of those every year, including Draymond who's the point forward goat
Dame would understand. They both get so much heat. It's amazing how they can create there shots and release them so efficiently. What a time to be alive ❤️❤️
They're not good shots tho...PG was right that was a bad shot... Game tied with 10 seconds left and you purposely stand 40 feet away and take a step back contested 3 in assine...
@@familybusiness1417 can’t objectively call any shot bad cause it depends on who’s shooting it. For dame those long rang shots arent bad cause he can make them a good amount of the time just like he did over PG

@@DeCurtaRicanand none of these guys have ever needed to gaurd from half court. Their defense are mainly in the paint. And no one has a faster release than Steph and is as accurate that far out. Also I don't know how you think there's no defense against him when he's double or triple teamed every game.
@@DeCurtaRican It's a very popular narrative, but I've been watching basketball since the 80s, and it's just not true. They didn't shoot as many threes back then. In fact, a lot of guys got easy, open looks because defenses would dare them to shoot them, preferring to prevent easy looks inside the paint. On the other side of it, Curry practically IS the scouting report. Teams would rather have anybody OTHER than Curry shoot, and during playoffs they get very, very physical with Curry. Go watch the games and pay attention, and you will see that they love to touch up Curry. Curry, understanding this, spent the last several years bulking up and getting stronger so he can take contact. His percentages are up not just from three but also near the hoop and under the rim.
People never ask why is it always Dame time? Because his team is always losing and needs miracle shots! When you're up 15 there's no need for Dame time!
@@lilmike1237shut your hatin ass up steph is the better player yes he got the better team saying they drafted smarter players than the port and got kd forgot to mention how they destroyed dame in the playoffs not to mention dame is a playoff chocker against the warriors not winning one series 2019 had a chance to finally beat them but he didn't not to mention the amount of defense curry gets compared to dame curry gets doubled team meaning the greater and better shooter stop hating
He might be missing out on Steph’s incredible off the ball work rate. He gets catch and shoots cause he’s running like a mad man to get open for for that split second. It’s what happens when you play as a team and pass and have a good coach
@anthonybrown429 I live in Oregon and am a semi blazers fan, but I knew for a long time that he was wasting his time there. Once Aldridge left and Brandon Roy was out just a few years before that, I knew he would be wasting his time. Portland just isn't the market for a caliber of player that he is. They've historically been a franchise that makes terrible decisions while trying to rebuild. Good for him for putting in as much effort as he has.
Steph is the most defended player of all time. Has been the #1 focal point of every teams defense to try and stop since 2015 and counting. Dame doesn't face half of the defense that Steph does. I mean, the phrase GRAVITY was unheard before Steph. Also, no player in history has destroyed and deflated opposing teams' defensive will the way Steph has and still does. Don't get confused. Dame is nothing like Steph. Contrary to Nike controlled media, Steph is much more than a deep 3-point shot. He's one of if not the best soul snatcher the game has ever seen. #SC30ISTHEGOAT
I never seen dame catch fire like Steph where it burns so hot and the shots so devastating and so frequent, and fast, that the other team just gives up in the first half, and they look like they want to cry. Even Jordan as devastating as he was, don’t make people feel as hopeless as Steph does when he gets in that zone.
Im just glad im a Curry fan cuz if I wasn't, I'd hate to be on the receiving end of Curry's flurries and I'd genuinely stop watching the NBA solely bcuz of this man. I pray for the trauma that this guy has instilled in the fans of the Celtics, Kings, Nuggets, Mavs, Cavs, Griz, Rockets, Portland, OKC, LAC etc..
I liked Lillard as a person and as a player more than anybody else in the league. His generosity, humility and a good baskeball player combined is a gift.
So happy Dame is healthy again. Dame is one of the greatest shooters ever, and definitely one of the most clutch shooters ever. Steph will always be the best shooter ever tho
You can catch and shoot without superstars or all stars. Condition yourself like Allen Iverson or Steph Curry so you can run around non stop without losing a step and set up screens with your movement. Any NBA player worth their weight in salt can execute a screen at a decent clip but it takes some insane, all time conditioning to run the way Steph does. Wilt, AI, Kobe and maybe a few others were at that level. It's easy to say I don't get catch and shoot looks without tailoring your game to get catch and shoot looks. That's mostly on Dame.
@@stevenleblanc8146 Not if that ain't the plays your coach is calling and if your teammates can't handle the ball and you're still getting doubleteamed without the ball cause no one else can shoot.
@squarebidnezz It doesn't take great players to set screens or to pass to a spot on rhythm. Some practice maybe but I don't see how, on a team full of NBA, players, you don't have 3 guys who can run screens. I find it damn near impossible to believe that if you're the only star player and you want to run off ball more that the coach, assistants, secretary, personal trainers, GM, President and even the damn cheerleaders wouldn't bend over backwards to at least give you that much. It's going to be more crisp and consistent with better players but if it's not happening at all there's a reason outside of the rest of the team. That starts with Dame, IF that's what he really wants.
Most point guards don’t run around like Steph does he’s constantly working with or without the ball and the warriors set solid screens for him so he’s getting good looks all the time if you put Dame in the Same scenarios I think he’s close but Steph is in a league of his own 🐐
It’s nice to see who I believe was the best three point shooter up to Curry show love and not hate. That’s why Damien would always be on my first team. He can shoot lights out.
Damian is a real man, he play basketball just like the other man but will sit there and tell the truth like he know it unlike most other people. Congratulations to a real person. 👏
Curry is great but in this era,it's very easy to make 3s since they not contested..i imagine Steve Kerr n R.miller in this era n even MJ would be dominating the 3 point land
Bird only made 649 career 3's was 37.5% from the arc. Bird is glorified because it was in the pre-internet era. Ant has 562 career made 3, is 21 & this is his 3rd Year. He's gonna' pass up Bird in made 3's at the age of 22 & it'll only be his 4th year...

Dame top 5 shooter ever. He forced himself in that convo but it made sense why he did, got him 4 over reggie. Only because ray and klay are more efficient and have more.
Maybe you should run the same like steph and you would be open more and could catch and shoot It's not like steph just stand open and can shoot he is running alot to be open
Its not by the numbers. It how he did it like off the ball, catch and shoot, off the dribble, step back name it. Kareem is not considered by many as the goat eventhough he has the highest scoring of all time although LBJ eclipse it. Curry considered as the GOAT in shooting it's because of how he did it and Its not just he has the highest 3pt all time. Curry when it comes to shooting is on its own. Take that!
Steph has been able to combine volume with efficiency to an unmatched level. Before Curry, we basically never saw guys having the highest 3 pt FGs made while also having one of the highest 3 pt percentages.
He got a point…rarely see dame take catch and shoots
41 in the first half tonight
