    I know his resume isn’t complete and doesn’t have the accomplishments of players in his range, but for me, he’s a Top 5 player of all-time easy for the simple fact that he forever changed the way that basketball is and will be played going forward.

    There’s just no way to properly quantify the panic and fear he induces in an opponent when he gets hot and the dispiriting nature of the types of shots he makes and in general how exhausting it is to guard him.

    That’s the power of being able to take a shot that is made 35% on league average and make it **43%** of the time.

    i wonder how much he affects the league averages….

  4. StoicRetention

    his conditioning is what stands out to me, still running around there like it’s 2016 and Walton was the interim head coach. He does more cardio than cardio king Pat Williams does

  5. I get that all of the guys like Jokic/Luka/Giannis/Wemby get the hype right now but IMO Steph has been the most impressive player so far this year and just further illustrates how far these young guys are from touching his greatness.

  6. He’s shooting insanely well but he has bit a bit careless with the ball so once he’s 100% dialed in he’ll go even crazier

  7. sergechewbacca

    Damn he’d be at almost 50% from 3 without the heaves. One of the few guys in the league who never hesitates against taking those end of quarter full court shots.

  8. Street-Common-4023

    Idk if he will win another title again but I think he’s better than magic tbh

  9. NeighborhoodDue7915

    I wrote out a whole heartfelt thank you letter to Steph Curry who appeared to be exiting his prime for changing the game and for an amazing career

    # like 4 seasons ago

    He and Bron must have the same chemist or somethin bc these dudes stay in alien mode too long now!

    Edit: I made a game for NBA stats nerds! I show you career stats, you name the player! It’s up on my personal website [https://drewwolin.com/games/ntp/index.html](https://drewwolin.com/games/ntp/index.html) . Give it a whirl!

  10. qotsabama

    I see no reason why he can’t do this for another 3 years at least. Conditioning shouldn’t be a problem as he ages, it’ll just be the wear and tear as shooting isn’t going anywhere and outside of driving his game isn’t reliant on athleticism. Dude is going to skyrocket up leaderboards.

  11. TheFinalSchnabitz

    I never would have imagined Steph could replicate 2016 and he just keeps getting better 😮

  12. doonterdoo

    Always has been, unfortunately he’ll get a minor injury for a month or two taking him out of MVP conversations

  13. tridentboy3

    Curry pretty clearly cemented himself as a pantheon level player after he won his last ring. Everything after that has been icing on the cake. I don’t think he’s going to ever hit the Lebron tier, nevermind the GOAT tier MJ occupies, but he’s definitely on par with the rest of the truly elite all time greats like Shaq, Hakeem, Duncan, Kobe, Magic, and Bird.

  14. xEmperorMao

    And then you remember he also puts in 100% effort on the defensive end every possession.

  15. PepeSilvia267

    He’s amazing. Something that he’s provided for years that doesn’t show up on stat sheets is how much attention he draws from the defense. When Klay had his game winner Steph started with the ball and everyone swarmed to him, giving space for Klay to get open. And that happens all the time!

  16. by_yes_i_mean_no

    Expected stuff for a top 5 player of all time tbh
