Stephen Curry Is Doing Something We Will NEVER See Again

Many people in the basketball community say, "I wish I could have seen Jordan play in the past and yes, I wish I could have too. I mean look at his stats and accolades. The man averaged 37 points in a single season in just In his third year, how crazy is that, and then a few years later he won Finals MVP three times in each of those championships. That's outrageous. I find it hard to understand that level of dominance coming from one man for so long. time. and the truth is that I don't think we

will

see that

again

in the NBA Points from 14 seconds of opportunity for Phoenix none for Golden State but it is for his teammates Steph Curry and MJ their games are completely different but the rules are the same The Number 30 is unstoppable on the courts and as we have seen time and time

again

no defense can contain him, give him too much space and he

will

shoot over the top, don't give him space and he will go by.

The best defender on him and he will use a double screen team and it will be a four against three, just like we have

never

seen another MJ. What we're watching Steph do every night may very well

never

happen again. Again, true shooting percentage is an advanced basketball statistic that takes into account two-point field goals, three-point field goals, and free throws. It's possibly the best stat out there when it comes to calculating efficiency and this season in 2023, just when we thought it had peaked. in the final Steph Curry is taking it to another level. I'll do a quick comparison here with some NBA legends and show you what I mean.

We will start with Michael Jordan, he is, in quotes, the goat of basketball and most consider him. the best to ever play the sport. His highest true shooting percentage of the season was at 89, where he was at 61 percent while averaging 32 and a half points per game. Black Mamba Kobe Bryant was known to destroy his opponents and was literally helpless. His highest true shooting percentage was 58 when he averaged 31.6 points per game in 2007 and then there is LeBron James, he was widely recognized as an efficiency machine in his days in Miami and in 2014 he had the best true shooting percentage of his career with 65 percent.

While he averaged 27 points per game, let's go to Steph Curry this season, so far, the baby-faced assassin has a true shooting percentage of 69.1 percent, while averaging 31.7 points, which is insane , is surpassing these NBA greats by a wide margin and is redefining the definition of excellence, there has literally been nothing like it before in the history of the game. Oh and by the way, if you're wondering what a good number is for your true shooting statistic, it's 60 percent if an NBA player has a true shooting percentage of 60 or above they are considered Elite and yet They are above that elite line by about 10 percent.

Now let's switch gears a bit and see how Steph compares to today's leading NBA scorers this season. The top scorer is Luca, who has a real shooting percentage. 60.7 Joel embiid when healthy and playing games is considered unstoppable and currently has 63.2 SGA is 62 Giannis is 57. Tatum is 63. Durant is 64 and even Anthony Davis who has been destroying the league is only 63 .4 percent Wow, even against the best of the best in the current NBA steps, currently in his own world, he's the smallest player on that list of top scorers, but he's head and shoulders above everyone else in the when it comes to efficiency and, in addition to all this, it is affecting. the game in other areas also among all NBA point guards, he is the seventh best in rebounds of the season with 6.6 rebounds per game.

He also doesn't compete with other short guards. I mean, he's bouncing around as much as Jalen Brown and Ben Simmons. are currently and uh, take a look at this historical comparison. Dwyane Wade stood at six foot four and is widely considered the third best shooting guard in NBA history behind Jordan and Kobe and is much more athletic than the staff, which was evident by his jumping abilities and yet Steph is averaging more rebounds than Wayne did in his best rebounding season and this goes directly to the next point: how can Steph get his third regular season MVP because despite putting up historic numbers that arguably surpass his unanimous season, he currently only ranks fifth place in the standings?

MVP ladder with Luca Tatum Jokic and Giannis ahead of him, well, there are two things hurting Curry right now, but the crazy thing is that neither of them are his fault. First of all, it is obvious that his team's success prevents him from climbing to the top, although the Warriors are starting to heat up a little, they started the season very slowly and it is a difficult climb to the top when you are not one of the best teams of the conference if the Warriors can climb to a first or second place finish, which is entirely possible.

So the only reason I wouldn't support her third MVP trophy has to do with my second point and that is the fatigue of the voters, the haters, the media knows that Steph is the best player on the planet, she is the MVP reigning of the Finals and, although he is not physically. imposing as a result of the combination of his handle, shooting skills, basketball IQ, ability to score from everywhere and anywhere on the court, he is without a doubt the most dangerous player in the NBA and the media reported on him for all of last year's playoffs and pretty much for the last decade and at this point they are tired of hearing about it and want

something

new and as a result if everything is even they will probably have to give it to someone who is new and marketable Like Luka.

Doncic still, if the Mavericks continue to fall and the Warriors continue to climb the ladder, I definitely see Steph winning out over Luca and the other three players mentioned above. This moves on to the next point and this is how Steph is

doing

all of this. I mean, why can he? Most NBA players are not as good as him and this, ladies and gentlemen, comes down to his preparation, just like Michael Jordan had the legendary Tim Grover as a coach, who did crazy things like counting every step MJ took. in their games to obtain the best result. he ready for games Curry's coach, Brandon Payne, is using every last bit of technology to take Curry to the next level.

Let me show you what I mean by first taking the legendary baseball player Babe Ruth as an example. Research has shown that he had some of the best eyes in most athletic brains in baseball. I mean the numbers that the researchers studied were that his ability to perceive things was 150 percent faster than the average man's and when it came to processing visual information he was 12 percent faster. Well, Steph Curry's trainer has him training. with what are called strobe glasses, which is a technology that helps the brain reach warp speed, so when he is on the court playing basketball, everything seems to move in slow motion to him and then Payne has staff training with what which is called the adjusted light system. which is a bunch of palm-sized discs that help you train your reaction time, speed, agility and core coordination.

The idea is sensory overload, so when he's in a real game, what seems really fast for a normal basketball player is actually just normal game speed for Curry, I'm sure there's a lot more going on behind the scenes. scene, but when you combine all this world-class training Steph does along with his regular basketball routines, what you get is here's Steph with the ball in transition, being guarded by 2020 No. 1 overall pick Anthony Edwards, first he pretends to go left and then dribbles behind his back like it's just another Sunday walk in the park, then when he sees the Dream on the screen he uses it, and then when he sees only a fraction of daylight for a fraction of In a second he was already getting up to shoot and there was nothing the secondary defender could do.

Here is one more example. Anthony Lamb is on the ground fighting for the loose ball and here's Steph first, even when he moves without the ball he pulls the defender off of him. he fakes to the right and cuts to the left and then, when he catches the ball without even a split second of hesitation or thinking that he is already on his way up, he places the ball over the outstretched arms of the seven-foot-tall Lowry, marketing, guys, I'm still amazed how he did that. Anyway, I went up so fast with such precision, just like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar held his scoring record since 1989.

The things Steph is capable of

doing

on the basketball court are things we very well will never see in the next few decades. and just like the people. Today they say: I wish I could have seen MJ play in 10, 20, 30 years, the basketball world will say: I wish I could have seen Steph play abroad.
