    It's so sad that a team that won by spending more than everyone else and by lucking into playing only injured teams could change the game, especially since they played the weakest style by shooting mostly 3s. The warriors deserve blame, not credit for pussifying the league.

    The most underrated part of Steph’s game is his stamina and endurance. He has the lungs of a professional cross country runner. And that’s what makes him such a threat off ball even well into his 30s. So many players talk about how drained they are after having to run around the court guarding him off ball.

    "Would Draymond be as good on another team" can easily be answered by watching him in international play. In Tokyo for example, KD was the obvious scoring leader, but Draymond was doing everything else like he always does. Elite NBA players on the team were on the bench so that USA could have Draymond's defense, passing, picks, intensity, etc.

    I noticed in the Olympics if Team USA was having problems and started losing in games. Coach Pop would put Draymond in to stabilize and change the momentum of the team. He knew that Draymond would make the right and simple plays. International rules basketball is so different than NBA basketball but Draymond had the confidence and respect of his team mates. The three best players for Team USA were Durant, Jrue Holiday and Draymond in a team that included Booker, Tatum and Lillard. It's not that these players were not good but the older guys were more experienced and could adapt their game better to international rules.

    RJ is right. Where the Warriors truly changed basketball is by proving teams could win championships with a small ball 5. Dray was/is savvy enough to guard bigger players, and Steph & Klay would torch teams that rolled out multiple big men on switches. That versatility made them a dynasty. Obviously Steph is the catalyst of it all, arguably a top 5 player of all time but Draymonds versatility also made them nearly unbeatable.

Injuries and the rest of the league caught up with them.. but Steph is arguably better now, than then.. Older.. wiser.. but more importantly, STRONGER.. he's yolk'd now and has the wind of an Ethiopian long distance runner.. His game will age like fine wine (Klay's too) as he can just sit in the corner and provide spacing for the Poole/Kuminga PnR in the future..

Never thought Steph was gonna change how basketball is played obviously, but point is u knew he was gonna be offensively one of the best players in the league if he stayed healthy, because the only thing stopping him early in his career were his constant ankle injuries.

    They played like the Bad Boy Pistons, Zeke, Joe and Vinny were interchangeable at the 1 and 2 spot. The difference is that Steph was really benevolent in sharing the ball. Even if you wanna call him a 2 guard the guard wants to have the ball in his hands and Steph was willing to come off the ball for people to get touches. That's a real General. Richard always tryna find ways to diminish Steph with back handed compliments. Even tho it's Larry Bird folks always find ways to say LeBron is the Best Small Forward ever but don't mention he scores primarily at the rim, he doesn't space the floor and is a horrible free throw shooter to be at the wing position but no one ever calls him a undersized Center or Power Forward. They always try to find passive aggressive ways to hate Steph, especially anyone who played on that Cavs team, weather its Bron making Steph and Klay tombstones to step over at his party, weather that's Richard Tristan or Kendrick hating on him on NBA networks. The only Cav who didn't hate on Steph was Tye Lue who came out and said they still Doubled Steph even with KD on the Floor and even KD finds ways to shade Steph on social media, he got mad about that

Like Steph and Steve Kerr were perfect for each other like Tim Duncan and Pop were and it took the absolute confidence Kerr had in Steph to get him the opportunity he excelled at.

    RJ is dead wrong on Steph being a shooting guard. What makes Steph so lethal is that as soon as he crosses half court with the ball, he's a threat to pull the trigger. This stretches the defense out and helps other players get open. He is also the best off the dribble shooter ever, so you wouldn't see that as much if he was a shooting guard.
