How Steph Curry Is STILL So Dominant For The Golden State Warriors



How Steph Curry Is STILL So Dominant For The Golden State Warriors

Is the screens to get Brooks off of him oh he crossed him over let Brooks fly by oh step Curry d a great defender at three Curry side step Curry Drive Curry flip curry good that’s got it 8 seconds the three to win the game got it oh Paul

Gathers it in clet three Curry three oh oh there’s the me what a shot the Golden State Warriors aren’t playing their best basketball this season but amidst the hot mess they’re in right now Steph Curry Remains the sole bright spot on their roster and based on his

Performance thus far the chef is aging like fine wine at age 35 and shows no signs of slowing down I mean coming off a dribble handoff Steph fumbles the ball here but look at this he kept the dribble alive while on his knees as if he’s a Harlem Globe Trotter and then he

Just stood up and casually knocked down a stepback Jay now check this one out Steph grabs the ball here off a turnover and when Aon shows up the chef just whips a nasty behind the back pass to Moody who then flushes it home on the other end 35-year-old dudes shouldn’t be

Doing stuff that Steph is currently doing and just like LeBron Steph continues to defy father time as he’s still playing at a high level at his age right now I mean here’s a list of players who average the most points at age 35 and as you can see Steph ranks

Third only behind Kevin Durant and the Goat Michael Jordan with 27.9 points a ball game so how does Steph manage to be this good at age 35 you may ask well according to Steve Kerr the reason why Steph is still dominating at this point in his career is because he’s committed

To keeping his body in tiptop shape while constantly evolving his game as the years go by I think he’s definitely the best conditioned athlete that I’ve ever been around in the NBA I mean there’s just no one who combines the work ethic with the skill set Golden

State Warriors coach Steve Kerr said and the ability to put all that together in this package of incredible endurance and quickness it’s amazing just to see what he puts himself through to be ready he is definitely a guy who’s going to age well he’s still playing at a really high

Level and it’s incredible to watch him work KR said that Steph is definitely the best conditioned athlete that he’s ever seen in the NBA he also talked about how Steph seamlessly combines his work ethic with his skill set on top of his incredible endurance and quickness

And in the end he closed it out by saying that he knows that he’s going to age well and as expected that’s exactly what we’re seeing with him now today with over 30 games in Steph is averaging 27.6 points while shooting 45.6% from the field 40.8% from three

Along with 4.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists on 33.5 minutes of play I mean at age 35 Steph still leads the Warriors in scoring field goals per game free throws made and free throw attempts and this only means that he’s still the Dove’s best offensive weapon this season well

Speaking of his offensive weapons one of the main reasons why Steph is still thriving at 35 is that he never stops honing his craft particularly improving his weaknesses such as his ins game see in his rookie season back in 2009 Steph only made 38 shots out of 97 attempts

Inside the Shaded Lane but in his first MVP season he was able to make 55 shots out of 113 attempts while shooting at a 50% clip which is 10% higher than in his rookie year then last year the chef made 97 shots out of almost 200 attempts in

The paint on 51.3% shooting and even though we’re just barely into the first half of the Season Steph has already attempted 105 shots and knocked 51 of them inside the lane while shooting 48.6% and if we’re going to use this as a sample size to project how many more

He’ll make moving forward then Steph is on the pace of breaking his previous shot attempts and shots made inside the paint when this season wraps up as you see with those numbers teams had tightened up the screws on him in the perimeter over the years mainly due to his Elite shooting prowess

And so Steph had to adjust by attacking the Closeouts and penetrating inside to make the defense pay from being a pure lights out sniper in his younger days Steph has become harder to guard as his career progresses because he can now kill you from the inside and at the same

Time create for his teammates due to the offensive attention that he attracts whenever he Treads the lane now apart from the Improvement in his inside game Steph is also doubled down on his strength which is his lethal shoot shooting and throughout the years he revolutionized the game of basketball

From the three-point line by splashing down shots farther and farther from the basket I mean in his rookie year Steph only made 101 shots from Beyond The Ark while only making one out of 14 shots from 30 ft and Beyond then in his MVP season in 2015 Steph’s conversion rate

From within 25 to 29 ft went up 150% as he knocked down 251 shots that season then as you can see the shots that he’s been taking and making from what we call as the Steph Curry range now has also increased significantly and fast forward to this season Steph has already sunk

118 three-pointers with just 33 games in as of this video and attempted almost 300 shots while shooting just a tick below 40% which is absolutely insane his dedication to evolving his game through the years as well as his legendary work ethic are the main reason why he’s still

Playing at a high level at age 35 and speaking of his work ethic here’s UFC fighter Draymond Green revealing some secrets about his Elite training regimen I think you know when when you watch his workouts whether in uh you know in the offseason or whether during the season

Just the way that he prepares himself and he has to Sprint full court to get one shot of like you know and you think of the amount of shots that a guy like that puts up and just in order for him to attempt a three he has to Sprint full

A court like you know he works like unlike many people that I’ve seen before and you know it it translates on to the court and then I think you know once you once you realize I’ve had success in doing things this way then you become more of that you know like this is

What’s going to allow me to unlock X ball movement and and his personal player movement then how much he’s moving off the ball it’s a real disadvantage to teams when you think of most superstars in this league most of their their damage is done with the ball

In their hands whereas opposed to Steph Curry can he do damage with the balls ball in his hands absolutely but he’s equally if not even more dangerous when the ball isn’t in his hands anyway according to Steph his motivation to keep on going has something to do with

His dad as he wants to reach or even exceed the number of years that he played in the NBA with which is 16 years Steph is currently in his 15th season in the NBA and with the way he’s playing right now and the way he’s taking care

Of his body I’m pretty sure that he’ll surpass his father by a mile and in terms of how he feels personally here’s what Steph said and I quote how I feel right now is not how I thought I’d feel at 35 that number sounds crazy but in my

Head I feel like I got a lot left then he’s also taking the other greats who played past their 40s like Tom Brady and Aaron Rogers to get some pointers about their work ethic and how they managed to stay disciplined based on that statement it seems like Steph is not going

Anywhere soon and he’s still proving that he’s the most valuable player on the Warriors roster right now I mean Wiggins is just playing horrible right now Clay is playing like he’s already washed while Draymond is just swinging around and getting himself thrown out of the game endless times Steph on the

Other hand is single-handedly trying to save their crumbling Dynasty and is playing like a possessed MVP right now his value to the dubs organization is pretty evident despite his age and I believe that he’s the only Untouchable on their roster right now as the trade deadline fast approaches in basketball

His teammate Chris Paul and primarily LeBron are the ones setting the standard in terms of longevity but for me I think Steph is not getting enough credit when talking about longevity even though he has the stats and Hardware to back them up I mean just like LeBron never really

Had a major injury in his career except for the time he broke his ankle back in 2017 and even though he went through that Steph has bounced back from it and even come out stronger and healthier than he previously was with his game focusing more heavily on outside

Shooting and off-ball movement I think Steph will still play at a high level for the next 3 or 4 years because he still will be able to preserve his body and keep it from being injured since he doesn’t play recklessly like John Morant and he does use it to bang bodies around

While driving inside just like what Giannis and LeBron are doing on a nightly basis anyway there’s no doubt that we’ll be having the same conversation in the following year cuz I don’t see Steph declining just yet and with this being said I believe that he can still win one more chip down the

Line given he’s surrounded with the right pieces that would complement his game

Steph Curry is aging too gracefully.
