It’s not just Curry’s shooting, but the WAY he makes his shots.
The degree of difficulty is so nuts.
But it looks like he’s just flowing with the ball
You wouldn’t think he’s 11 years older than Luka.
He’s charging up his gamebreaker
Curry is just so gifted with his dexterity, hand-eye coordination and body control that the shot can be released in any position. Like most guys need to at a certain point set their feet to shoot and thats when the defense can jump on them. In order to mitigate it skilled shooters then can do a step back or side step. Curry can just pick up the ball and shoot in the middle of his cross over and just shoot before the defense has any idea about whats happening. Just unreal even at his age
he makes it look….
STEPHORTLESS
This guy doesn’t give a fuck about nothin
He’s hunting Luka on every possession lmao this is straight bullying
He went back the next possession tryna clip farm
I was legit on the edge of my seat during that last shot lmao
He’s backing up his rookie loll
Single handedly saving him from becoming Yaxel Hindenborg (though he’s still the team worst in +/-)
I don’t know why they still give up the switch!!!! Like double or do something different!!!! He is getting cooooked
Shooting while the defender cuts around a screen is one of Curry’s most potent weapons. It’d be an even easier bucket than Luka’s sorry defense.
To be fair, have you seen the screens?
don’t even bother man. the hate is insane. it overpowers draymond hate. draymond had several “screens” where he’s just walking in front of steph
JJ is obsessed with switching 1-4 because it works on paper but if anyone hesistates, misreads pr miscommunicates, its an open shot
They shouldn’t be switching with Luka because he can’t guard Steph. Thybulle has to fight through like. When Luka try’s to get curry to guard him what do the warriors do? They don’t concede the switch and the defender comes back!!! JJ has to adjust
I had a Lakers fan tell me “at least Luka can guard Steph.” Bro, is he actually guarding him or just assigned to guard him? 🤣🤣
Like that RDCworld skit after Warriors beat Boston.
“were we locking him up or was he just missing???”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qE1s0irr_n8
After all the bitching and crying the Lakers fan did after the Yaxel thing, this is so cathartic.
Like it crazy
…you find fans coming to defense of their star player annoying? Yaxel has been talking all week, not a word from Luka lol
He hasn’t said anything bad about Luka since that postgame interview
Warriors dont win unless refs let those illegal screens go. Game turned in the 3rd when the refs went call happy.
Ugly to watch
Motherfucking Lakers fans talking about refs rigging shit when tim donaghy exists is peak irony
LOL excuse making much?
What you gonna do?
playing whoever offense on Luka lol
Steph was like, ‘let me try to poke the bear.’
Luka was bullying Yaxel and then he called big bro for help. Steph bullied the bully
What? I get that their interactions were tense but let’s not spread bullshit here. It’s not like poor Yaxel was yelled by Luka while Yaxel was just playing a happy basketball and said nothing to Luka for the whole game.
schoooooling
Luka actually brave enough to guard him lol on the other side Steph refuses the switch and begs for his teammates to do the dirty work.
(In other words Luka is dumb and Steph is smart. This is Luka slander)
6’2 Steph guarding 6’7” Luka 😂
6’7 Luka guarding 6’2 Steph 😂
Did you just start watching basketball? Thybulle was his primary defender and he’s 6’6” … the prototypical elite wing defender is Luka’s height
Just take your L and go watch YouTube tutorials on basketball
You mean same guy who only plays when his tram gets away with bullshit? Fuck off (yes this is slander)
Bro is in full on chef mode
He’s in his 2024 Paris mode
This is nuts
Gonna miss this when he’s retired. Will never be another like him.
Bbq chicken on the menu
C’est pas possible
gotta appreciate this while we can. unbelievable
We’ve been saying this for some years now. Still true 🤣
The glorious sky fuckery continues 🙏🏾 🙌🏾
We really got spoiled watching him do this for a decade like it’s completely normal.
Vet got his rook tonight for being ass
Sometimes a player can write a check his team can’t cash. But when you have Steph…there’s no overdraft.
He’s cooking Luka tonight
The two plays posted everywhere of him cooking Luka are both bullshit though.
The one where Luka falls Curry steps on his foot. On this one he carries the fuck out of the ball on that first dribble move. Impossible to play defense against that
He didn’t step on his foot. Look at the replays. Luka trips over himself.
Bro I’m not gonna waste my time. I did look at the replay, take your own advice and pause it just before Luka loses his balance. Curry steps on his right foot and it’s fucking obvious.
You just specified yourself you’re talking about 2 different plays. The alternate angles showed he didn’t step on his foot.
you didnt see shit, take the L
your fellow blazers fan is mocking you, shits embarrasing
Well you did waste your time because everyone says how clean it was.
No he don’t step on his foot blind boy, check again.
You such a silly goose.
He literally didn’t step on his foot. Some of yall are actually legally blind.
Not on this play dummy
No shit dummy. The one where Luka fell. Holy shit you’re actually stupid. You’re blind AND have garbage reading comprehension.
Curry does not step on Luka’s foot. Although I kinda agree with the carry, but it’s not like other players don’t carry the ball. Seems like you’re just hating to hate.
Nah the carry is the worst one I’ve seen in a while. He carries, then goes into a shooting motion, then keeps dribbling.
Steph carried and stepped on Lukas foot at the same time?? Let me guess, the ball didn’t actually go in the hoop either.
You must be fun at a party.
His handles are so underrated, I mean i think people know he’s one of the best handle wise to ever do it, but he is easily top 3 handles, they just dont look as “flashy” as he has a high handle like a forward and not lower like a slashing guard.
I think Steph stays a bit higher as his first option is to create space for a jump shot unlike a traditional slasher like Kyrie or Iverson.
I read somewhere (might have been on this sub): “Steph makes basketball look easy, Kyrie makes basketball look hard.”
Luka looked like he was moving in slow motion compared to old man Steph.
He’s feasting!
Luka Doncic maybe a basketball genius, one of the greats, but there is only one Steph Curry, and he is even greater than Luka.
It’s like watching Steph vs. Harden all over again. Playing on ball and off ball is better than a heliocentric offense.
Always has been
Yep. Second greatest ever behind MJ
I love Steph Curry and I don’t care who knows
What about Allah?
RIP LUKA
He just gave up early on defense to save face
Every single time he has a great first quarter he runs out of energy and sucks the rest of the game. It’s happened for 4 straight years.
Bro selfishly made this into some sort of revenge game on Yaxel and burnt himself out after 12 minutes. Gg
He has 37 points and he’s +9 this game despite their team being down 14 right now. Blaming this game on doncic is next level hating.
Fully agree. I’d blame the water boys before I blamed luka for that lost.
Yeah the guy taking all the shots should not be blamed at all
They lost by 17 and doncic was +9. Doncic shot 60.62% true shooting while the rest of his team shot 46.72% ts. I don’t understand what argument you’re trying to make. You wanted the players that were shooting less efficiently to take more shots?
Reaves has been much much worse than Luka
You literally aren’t watching the game and talking out your ass. Lakers bench is trash and Reaves is having a terrible game.
Luka was the leader in 1st quarter and overall PPG last season. He can’t have a “great first quarter” and then run out of energy to become the league’s leading scorer.
So we’re just making up random bullshit now huh lol
Every single time huh?
This might be hyperbole
More like jj redick played luka the whole 3rd instead of sitting him maybe like 2-3 mins left so he can start the 4th, that dude let austin played 4 mins at the start of 4th and all he did was fouling everyone and shooting tough shots lmfao.
Um, that is just not true lol.
It’s so crazy he isn’t even looking for his shot the entire 4th quarter.
If he got the one after this one the stadium would have exploded
Craziest ass hesi I’ve ever seen him do into the Curry shuffle. The Chef is in tonight that’s for damn sure.
KD, Lebron and Curry highlights in 2026. Shit dont change.
Still a top 10 player in the NBA
Offensively sure
Top 5 all time. No doubt
No top 10 at best. And so is KD. Yall amaze me with the disrespect towards these two.
Lakers are content with letting Luka switch onto Curry for some reason.
Yeah they have a Luka but we still have a Steph Curry
The all mighty SKY FUCKER is HERE
Leave Luka alone lol
Yea highlight reels about to pop out
hey at least luka had a good first quarter 🔥🔥🔥
They need to keep Luka as far away as possible from Curry. Luka is trash on defense and he’s being matched up with CURRY?!
It’s like in the 2022 Finals when they kept on having old man Horford guard Curry in the perimeter
We don’t normally hunt match-ups as much in the regular season, so this is great
If dude isn’t trying he gets slated. If dude tries like he did today he gets cooked. Classic damned if you do damned if you don’t 🤣
It would take peak Sidney Moncrief to do much about Curry on a night like tonight.
He is marching up with slow Bang but gets switched with on ball defender Thybulle with a screen and switch and then stretch iso play cause Curry needs a sliver of daylight, if doubled outlet to green to find possibly Missing or podz for open 3.
Look at Curry man, so inspirational
Im a luka guy, steph was clearly hot snd luka did about ss good defense as he could here and the other highlight.
The real problem is who tf was letting podz cook like that
Steph is a legend and clearly was hot but JJ didnt acknowledge it at all and played boneheaded switch everything and chase the ball to the hoop and ignore swing outs and D boards.
Steph has cooked elite defenders with that same move. Making Luka put more effort on defense was about tiring him out on offense as much as it was just picking on him.
Steph cooking a similar offensive superstar who was a meh defender…. from the exact same spot: https://youtu.be/mUF8MGH9Fh8?si=8bAA8csq4phZlOLr
On the hesi right side 3 steph hit, it looked like they were prepping to switch and then bailed and left steph open to me. Cant see who was corner but they should have simply gunned it instead of that cautious step up. Left the window where luka was unsure should he press up or drop back i think
Again, steph being on fire needed to be accounted for, but JJ just shrugged and watched the chef go to work.
Nothing but respect for steph but JJ enabled it imo. They need to call man and put the defenders on the floor. This zone gives up O boards and 3s. Why thats what JJ is willing to accept is beyond me.
Yeah letting Steph iso that much is insane. Wonder if they just were worried about the role players being too on to leave open but yeah terrible move.
JJ is a fan of the chef
Podz is just really good.
JJ is a nepo baby coach
Luka hogged the ball in Q1 so much the rest of the team had no clue what to do when he came off.
After a third time, Curry is just bullying.
Good.
Steph is doing to Luka what Luka has done to so many poor unfortunate souls who get switched onto him. It’s not so fun with the mouse got the gun.
HOT
I was promised BTA but I didn’t know it’d be the other way
Shades of 2015 finals
Luka getting cooked tonight
Gahdamn. Twice in the same game too
