always said this, kd is the more difficult and scarier player to guard individually due to his skill, talent and size. but since basketball is a team sport, steph is much scarier for the opposing team as a collective. his insane ability to shoot just make his passing, driving and finishing around the rim abilities even more difficult to guard, as evidenced by how the team fared when either one was out. honestly, kd is probably the most gifted and smoothest scorer ive ever seen, but when it comes to a game of 5vs5, stephs impact is greater.

Finally someone who gets it. This is my new favourite video. My conclusion: KD is the better individual talent, but Curry is right behind stepping on his heels, even while being 10 inches shorter. That settles the "best player" debate. But when it comes to the "most valuable" player, Curry is the "head of the snake", in T. Lue's words.
@remnant8898
10 ай бұрын
If Curry is almost 10 inches shorter and does everything that KD does, and more efficiently, while making his teammates better, then Curry is the best player and most valuable.
Steph is more valuable because he's guarded more. He's trapped 4 feet outside the three point line and that's unheard of. KD is going to score because all he needs to do is jump over his defender and doubleteam is not going to help much, if at all. Also, we've all seen Steph in torch mode and he literally can score over the opposing team, and coaches will do everything to prevent that from happening.

@Keenan Powell KD's stats in the playoff is the product of steph's value in playoff time.. while lebron letting durant calmly dribble and pull up for three for the win,steph is haunted by double team everywhere he goes..that is why there is no double team on kd to force him to pass or shoot extremely guarded

@Keenan Powell ,you can tell what ever you want just to defend your point.. we never know what their gameplan for the whole season.. kd's average might be the same in regular and playoff exactly because of curry..we are talking about value here..ofcourse he can shoot with double team while curry is open,that's what make the difference between them..curry can locate you when you are open to give more problem on the other team if they should give him one on one or double him all the way..curry did win without kd..kd never won a single title without curry..again,we are not talking about who is better individually,we are talking about the value in the warriors system.. if curry's value doesnt effect kd's stats,then why kd's stats is much better when playing with curry than when he is still in OKC? Shall we ask westbrook?😅

@ATL 1 um..ok..if thats what you think from what i've said..👍
I just realized how much curry had impacted the nba. Started in nba in 2009 curry revolutionized the game. And as comparison... Curry...after 9yrs in nba got 3 rings Lebron..after 13yrs in nba got 3 rings Kobe...after 14yrs in nba got 5 rings Tim Duncan..after 17yrs in nba got 5 rings Mj...after 14yrs in nba got 6 rings. Curry's stop of harvesting rings was due to injury. With his leadership and scoring wit combined i believe he is already be considered as a hall of famer.
going from 45% to 51% is not a 6% increase, it is 6 percentage points. Those 6 percentage points represent a 13% increase, similarly the 6 percentage points from 33% to 39% is an 18% increase because percent is a ratio not a counting stat (literally per cent or per 100 like per 36 minute stats vs counting numbers).

Gr8 respect towards KD, can't take anything of his profession from him. This is a gr8 video not promoting hype of 1 player over another, but keeping the stats as the standard! #👀@CurryMan 🥇🥇🏆🏆🏆🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀
the problem is that you have to defend him at half court already. that opens up the floor for the entire team and turns good looks into great looks for the other four players. Combine that with his off-the-ball movement where you still have to double team him and you raise the shooting percentage of your entire team.
Nice explanation bro! You got the point. I hope whole Warriors organization will watch this.

I'm glad to hear that someone agrees with me. None of the basketball "aficionados" at the local sports bar understand. I've been an NBA fan since the mid 50's. You name them, I've probably seen them in person. Cooz, West, Oscar, Baylor, Easy ED, and a lot they haven't even heard of. I don't care how high or far they can jump. I want to see how much better they make their team mates. Michael and the doctor made dunks from the foul line. Bill Russell did it 30 years earlier in a game, and he jumped over a defending player. You never see that one. Wilt was probably the best individual basketball player ever but he'll never be the greatest, because he didn't make his teammates better, and he played with some of the best, and still couldn't win.
Good content,...Curry fan for sure,...also watch his bloopers,...keep it balanced...
It's all true bro. I love that gravity impact 😊 he's always be the mvp.

i bet when mj and curry both play together i bet the best defender would want to gaurd curry.
The records dont lie, Stephs greater impact makes him the better player. This will be crystal clear next year when KD and Steph return. KD will revert back to his OKC 1v1 style while Steph go back to the team ball style that won 73 games.

Steph curry is the millennium falcon in the last jedi. I thought I was imagining the cavs maintaining an off the ball double team on curry while giving durrant open layups. Like they were not going to let him have a chance. Honestly I wondered if they liked Kevin Durant and wanted to make him feel good. In 2015 I messaged Steph's aunt, my cousin, yes he's a distant cousin. But I asked if Im seeing things or is steph being treated like shaq on the block 40 feet from the basket. That still seems crazy to me.
