In this video, I analyze the first matchup between 15th year Steph Curry and 9th Nikola Jokic.

Hey guys, moving forward I am introducing a new language to the channel. Unless a player is a rookie, I will be adding what year they were in when they played the respective game. This will help us keep organized moving forward. For example Steph is in his 15th year. Therefore. You will see this written as Steph¹⁵. I hope you understand. Thanks. -GOAT.

This channel breaks it down in a way that makes it much easier to understand. The speed and complexity of the decisionmaking is really hard to see for the untrained eye at full speed.

Great show. Awesome reads and analysis of the game. I know this was not the angle you were looking at, but I think more ppl should acknowledge KCP for his overall work on Steph, who went 6-17 and keep an eye out for MPJ leveling up this year now that he’s had an offseason where he can work on improving himself instead of just recovering. He is physically stronger this year and looks like he added 10 pounds of muscle. Denver is 2 games ahead of their pace from last year and a big part is KCP and his shutdown perimeter defense that did a great job of Steph, a great job on SGA, and forced Luka into 8 turnovers despite him having good scoring numbers.

On the other hand, short point guards also have the skills but they'll never have the height.

He keeps the game at HIS speed, not other players' speed. He doesn't jump high but he is a) limiting his risk of injury and b) doesn't have to jump because he boxes off and positions himself so well.

Everyone walks in the NBA. Jokic does too, but very rarely. He mainly does it when he is standing still at top of the key, facing the defender, when his left leg is the pivot, but he ends up pushing off the right leg. Then again, this is easily the most common travelling infraction in NBA that is never called. Jokic has exceptional footwork, balance & speed. Many times I caught myself thinking "he travelled", but when I review it & watch it over & over again, I realize asthat he didn't travel. Please post the time where you think he travelled.
