It's universally recognized that an open fast break 3 from Steph is the equivalent to a layup. That's insane just to think about

It’s because of his size, all the goats are bigger and can post up and play above the rim. That’s the standard that’s always been used in the past. They’ve never seen anyone do what Steph has done. All the other greats are just better versions of what has come before, Steph revolutionized the game…

Steph is the greatest point guard, greatest shooter, and now join the conversation as the greatest basketball player of all-time.

The fact that Steph is not a bigger guy should prove that greatness comes in all shapes , sizes , colors etc … the man makes watching basketball so much fun , add to that he’s a good guy … what more can you ask for . Personally im a knicks fan since childhood, but if a warriors game is on im watching …. There is nothing more enjoyable then watching anyone who is great being great ….

One reason why I overlooked Curry as a top 5-10 because his defense was average in his best years - and I can't name one elite player whose defense didn't start to slip in their 30s. They just don't have the same motor. But he's done it, and that moves him way up the list for me. He's a plus defender now without a doubt.

Curry's impact on the game is such that it made future generations of players realize that they could play basketball without having to be athletically gifted.

The game has changed since Jorden and Bird, and others... Guards can now palm the ball, carrying, whereas, before, the hand couldn't go below the half way point from the top. Plus, lower your shoulder and playing bully ball, was charging every time!

Curry is undoubtedly the greatest shooter ever and helped usher in a change to how the game is played. But a true "point guard" is more about creating shots for others. Over his career, Curry only averages about 6 assists per game, which is about the same as Draymond Green. Curry often guards PGs because of his size but is more of a SG on offense.

He literally changed the dynamics of the game. Not just on the court, but all the way to the front office. After Curry showed up, GM's everywhere were pushing for players who could play the game beyond the 3 point line......arguing it's a better statistical gamble than 2 pointers.

Just imagine if Steph was 6'6" or above. He would be the true GOAT. And yet he's still great with that size. 🤯

Curry is in the goat conversation. No doubt. Curry's shooting second to none. Like Jordan before. Curry revolution Change basketball❤

I’ve had Steph ranked ahead of LBJ for some time. I mean his long range shooting has changed the game of basketball. While LeBron is an all time, all around great. Steph is in a category all his own, like in the Mikan, Russell, West, Big O, Dr. J in the ABA, Kobe, Magic, Bird, Shaq and MJ conversation of game changing greats.

Larry Bird, Steph Curry, and Rick Barry are my favs.

Curry is the 🐐🔥

Finally Steph is getting the recognition he deserves. Remove Lebron from the goat conversation and add Curry.

Steph is a ball monster

That stat is nuts. Basically Curry beat Allen at a rate of 58.3% faster to be the best shooter in the league.

He perfected the 3 pointer He made look like a work of art Just like how other players like M.J,Bird,Kareem and I can going on played the game, and if you were around to witness someone who was way above all the other players in any Pro Sport,It was AWESOME

Steph is why I started watching basketball again after the kings’ sick run in the early 2000’s

Is this guy Hoops report too his voice sounds so familiar

Steph is a monster. You can’t stop him thats for sure. I think that Kobe once said in an interview something like “ there’s a deadly calmness about him” not only his skills come to play but also as KLAY said how he sees the game. Also is this the same channel as hoop reports? The voice and curry fan seems familiar.

Jordan is still the GOAT just because he is the most entertaining to watch. He is the ultimate highlight reel. Jaw droppers!!

I consider how many times a player has to go into GOD mode. Think of most team when they are losing, one player has to go into GOD mode to change the game (get hot.) Curry consistently does this (almost effortlessly, like Jordan and Kobe) but it always begins with someone "poking the bear."

I think the new logo gota be steph on a pull up

I’ve been saying THIS for years about Jordan. TWO WORDS!!! Ready!? CLEAR EYES.

Seeing someone casually sink 3s from 6ft out from the 3-point line is insane and something I never thought I'd see.

Absolutrly a huge Curry fan and will go down as one the greatest of all time. For me a top 5 for sure, "but", magic is still better as a great player is more than just a great shooter and scorer. i feel a great player is not just a great shooter but one who makes all the other players on his team better. Sure steph checks those two boxes two but needs to add to his resume. more championships, more MVPs, more triple doubles. You have to ask the real question, what aspects make a gret player ? Magics passing and assists go a long way for me. Magic had a all around great game. He had it all. Along with Bird my two favorite players of all time. The one I struggle with is who of those two is the greatest ? i want to say Magic and have for ever, and im biased cause i was a Laker fan and hated the Celtcs but cherish their rivalry. But i cannot deny how great Bird was. He had the complete game as well, and was a better shooter. A fun debate for sure.

Great basketball players NEVER call themselves the best. You are the best when other basketball players call you the best.

Curry best point guard of all time…. Only people can come close is his kids…

The only thing that steph curry excel is he got a great muscle memory in shooting. He need only a quick glance of the hoop and his muscle memory will do the rest. Quick and accurate high arching range finding shot without the need to look for the hoop the 2nd time. Difficult to predict the release or block it.

My boy sounds like hoops reports brother 😂🤫

Jordan is by far best player but is stuck in his generation. For a person like curry to change the game like he has shows numbers as an individual.

One more ring, especially with a newer line-up with the Dubs, would put him in top 10 ever, he may be 9th or 10th already

My boy sounds like hoops reports brother

Steph would go out on a stretcher in MJ’s era whereas MJ would average 50pts in This era and Lebron would be just another 6’9” guy who doesn’t do anything but rebound.

Yal'll forget who scored the most 3s and most points in Basketball, Oscar Schmidt, played against the dream team in 92

I've thought of what the '85 Lakers look like with this guy. Magic already spread the floor as it was. Suppose the defense had to guard out to 35 feet! Would've wrecked the league!

steph dribbles and shoots better than all the other goats, so hes the tech-goat

Greatness...

People forgot Steph has 3 rings over Bron.

How many channels u have

I think croatian NBA player if he didn’t die so early he would be no question best the goat 100% the best shooter of all time and the player name is Dražen petrović

You need to collaborate with Hoops report ...you guys sure make a good team.

You should advertise this channel on your main

Hoops report outed himself with this one 😂

Curry had the best tree pointer player in the world ., But when it comes to skills kairi irving is the best for me

Sorry still take Bird. The original founding member of the 80 40 50 club. In a time when 3 points was not something thatbwas pushed. Game was played inside out. If you think im nuts watch his highlights then decide.

“What NBA Legends think of Curry” First Clip: SAS 🤦🏻‍♂️

Too many ads on the video man cmon it makes it unwatchable

The "Dream Team"!!! Those as a "Collective" are likely the greatest we will ever see!!! Steph is a great shooter, likely the very best, but how many assists?? Magic and Stockton were true point guards, and the best we have seen as TRUE point guards. But then Magic could play every position including center!!

The problem with curry is that he’s the best shooter ever

Arent you the guy from hoop reports the voice is same

is this the same guy talking like on channel hoop reports?

people want to give best ever to someone who is more o an all- arounder, like MJ and Lebron, who can slam it don and also shoot. I find this quite frustrating. If you have the greatest players of all time play against each other 5v5, if you want the best threat possible from the 3, you absolutely need Steph Curry, period. Want a good all arounder? You get Mj, but you could switch him up for Kobe. Many would argue Kobe isn't quite as good, and that's true, but in a 5v5 game Kobe can fill his general role, and everyone knows Kobe on one of his hot streaks putting up over 80 points can match the offensive presence of MJ. Or you could get Lebron and most will agree he isn't as good as MJ, but he's also taller and can help fullfill other roles, example- he's a better rebounder You simply cannot replace Steph Curry in terms of his outside striking ability. It also matters less than in my other examples if the replacement has other good attributes such as rebounding, etc. Why? Because the 3 pointer is so important. That's the reason that the game changed as discussed in the video. What's more valuable? A player who is good all around, or having players who specialize in certain areas? If you have tons of shooting ability on the team already, Do you really need dirk Nowitzki when you could have Wilt Chamberlain or Shaq grabbing rebounds all day and dominating below the basket? IMO, the best team you could possibly make is going to have Wilt down low, Curry striking from afar, and each other pick will be very complicated and depend on exactly what they bring and what play style they will agree to, but the tem would need the extreme plyers who dominate their area of play, and no player does that the way Steph does. I fail to see how he is not the goat just because he has no dunk highlights.

He the best ball player

Why Michael said any bad to a super Star!

the greatest Sniper the World has seen lol

with out a debt he is the best.Jorden says he is not a yet a hall of famer

Steph Curry is greatest offensive set player. Coach' dream. I don't think he's greatest pure shooter if we talk about the shot only. But if taken as combo with shot creation then he is.

to me he isn't the best point guard, but he's by far the best player to ever play the position. if that makes any sense

In my opinion, curry is the best overall shooter ever. Jordan is best on dunks. Magic Johnson is the best point guard ever and Larry Bird is the best all-around basketball player in history. No question about it. Larry Bird would wear each and every one of these guys out.

He's not 1 guard or a 2 guard. 1 guard is about assists and running the offense. 2 guard is about scoring, that sounds more like curry. He is different type of guard that he has invented

how do we define goat though he doesn't have the highest average points per game of all time. maybe later in his career if he gets there that could be one stat.

Didn't watch the video, but if Jordan said that, he changed his stance.

Is this Hoops Report???

💯😎

Sheesh !!

You hear a lot about football IQ but rarely hear Basketball IQ 🤷🏾‍♂️ just saying

Everybody have eyes and can see no dam well step curry is the greatest shooter of all time step going to have haters hell Klay Thompson is a great shooter he's the next màn to step y'all can't touch step period

The nba lucky Steph and lebron not in the same team they easily wining 11 rings

Don't shit talk Babyface. 💯😎

Steph is awesome. But it takes more than shooting to make the GOAT.

this guy said "hollowed halls" smh

Larry Bird will always be the best.

Don't forget Larry bird.

I like curry as a goat more than Lebron❤

Steph Curry is a better player than Magic Johnson. Magic Johnson however is the better PG. In terms of what a PG should do in the game, Jordan is correct, Magic basically defined it. On the other hand, Curry’s impact to the game is just something else. Being the best shooter ever in history means Curry can play a game that nobody else can. People sometimes get it wrong. You can tell a tall guy to play like Magic. You cannot tell anyone to shoot like Curry.

it's not steph it's; steph and Klay with Kerr as the coach. Pistol Pete, Jerry West, Larry Bird, one way shooters could always be accounted for, but 2 with a scheme to center on those 2 instead of the center or power forward for the easy 2..... that's a completely new style. it's like the triangle offense arced around the 3 point line. add top that the bulking up of modern NBA players to be shaq making them control the interior, the natural progression would be to avoid the paint altogether. eventually, it'll go back to the 7 foot lithe athletic centers like in the 60s when someone realizes the sky hook is a thing.

15 seconds of the video, then at least 2 commercials? Bye!

I dunno why all the haters and Laker/magic fans are so uptight about Stephen. he's like almost a foot shorter than magic yet he's dominating on court and is a threat anywhere on the floor. he's shorter, weaker, not as explosive, no length, no crazy hops, and weaker than majority of NBA players. lets see magic or any NBA player dominate at a short size. only player that comes close is Nash.

You can't put "NBA Legends" and then put Stephen A Smith talking shit number 1 bruh

This guy is great but I think Larry Bird was a better shooter and passer

tel me what comes inside your head once you heard basketball scored or shooting competition? its 💯 percent Steph will come to your mind proved me wrong haters will come to my comment section

Stephen Curry does not play defense. He has changed the game but not for the better. People are no longer watching NBA basketball because it’s boring with little defense.

Jerry west and Oscar Robertson were better shooter in league that actually played defense which doesn’t exist anymore

ROFL 3:09 steph curry travels lol steps

🏀😒Hmmmmmm! 🏀MJ sounds a little jealous of Stephen Curry. 😞You think?🏀

No reason Jordan sold his team. Referees are making the Nba unwatchable!!

That's Definitely Game Changing if Curry was never born Lebron would have about 6 or more rings by now 😮😤🕵️🤣🤣🤣🤐🤔🤔🧐🤯🤯🤯🥶🥶🥶🥶

Hoop reports is this you?

the game has changed and not necessarily for the better. The 3 points removes contact and athleticism. Spectacular play like the Dr J, the Gervins, MJs, and every high flyer which were always physically contested. It may be time to retire the 3 pts or give more value to contested in the paint baskets. to my mind the game has grown more boring and 'dainty'.

I like steph curry , but he's not in the goat Conversation , yes he's the best shooter we have seen in league history, but goat players, the two players everybody talks about can carry a team by themselves like lebron , Mj Iverson , bron went to the nba finals before he had kyrie, and mj lost to the pistons in the eastern finals before he had pippen, personally I had all ways thought that Klay thompson was the most all around player on that team, curry could not hold the kwai leonard, kobe , paul george , Klay had to hold those dudes lol , not hating on step He's a generation player but when it all balls down defense wins championships !!

hi

MJ is correct because if you think you know more about NBA then MJ that's where you are wrong

Stay THAFM

greatest shooter yes, point guard not in a million years with 6.4 average on assist, he just doesnt qualify.....

Hey hey hey

Ok to be seven foot but now a small guy can win without going to the hoop !😂😂😂

He broken record because different rules and different way it was game played ...
