It’s always been cool that the best shooter and arguably the best off-ball player ever also has elite top 3 handles. Cool stuff, very balanced.

That finger roll is filthy

Hey this guy is pretty good. I say we give him 60+ million a year and he’ll still be underpaid

You know when you really think about it, the only difrence between Steph and Klay is that Steph has a handle.
Even as good of a defender as prime Klay was, Stelh just having a handle made him so much better as a player.

The fake load up into a shot is such a great move. I’m sure it works better for him than others because of his unique shooting threat, but he does it so seamlessly
ScaryPillow
Was that a double dribble?
bfolksdiddy
It blows my mind all the folks that hate on this guy as just a shooter. It gets lost because he plays off ball but Steph’s proven not only top 2 handles but an elite finisher with either hand @ the rim.

Took his defender dancing and then grinded on his teammate’s legs after a night out.

Oh god how I hate that man

The best one is when Curry made CP3 play twister

What’s so wild is that Steph doesn’t appear that quick or fast. He’s not like traditional slashers who like AI, Russ, Ant who blow by defenders with an ultra quick first step. It’s fun to watch because it looks like he’s toying with defenders who are moreso afraid of his quick shot release than first step.

Finger rolls are such a tough and awesome looking shot

He just looks at the rim and it’s over

As soon as he pulled him back out I’m imagining Williams saying “mybadmybadmybad”

His finishing at the rim is my favorite. Either hand contested or not feels like it’s always a high percentage. If he actually got a decent whistle his scoring numbers could be higher by a decent amount.

As someone who peaked as a bench player on my casual college intramural team that went 2-6 back in ’06, I find this fairly impressive.

The one where van gundy is talking is one of the craziest, in control moves I’ve ever seen. Cp0 goes for the steal… yall know which one I’m referencing. Lebron through Thompson legs is crazier but more lucky while Steph was just insane control.

Curry is good but damn he has an annoying personality I can’t put my finger on. Something about him just pisses me off every time. He gives off this rich kid/spoiled brat vibe. Does that make sense? Maybe I’m just a hater.

One of my hottest takes is that he has ruined a whole generation of basketball players.
He makes ball handling and shooting look so effortless kids constantly think they can emulate him. Deep/contested three point shots with poor form and over-dribbling are two things I’ve had to coach out of kids for years. They don’t understand that he’s 6’3” with unworldly hand-eye coordination and an insane work ethic.

This made me wonder if ballhandlers who pick up their dribble and get trapped ever intentionally let the defender poke it away just so they can get the dribble back.

I like how the dude started laughing when Steph eventually crossed him over despite elite defence he put on

I could watch that man play with balls for hours

Lowkey impressive defense

It looks like Vince Williams is smiling hella hard as Curry drives by lol, was probably honored that Curry took his defense seriously enough to put that much effort in.

Question. When he hold the ball with two hand, fake and switch to the left and dribble again, isn’t that double dribble?

If I dribbled this much, my high school coach would’ve called timeout to strangle me after putting his cigarette out on me.

It’s crazy to think, but too many underrate this aspect of his game just because it’s not as flashy as someone like kyrie’s. Steph has the second best handles in the league.
