Steph Curry = Best shooter of all time.
I don’t understand why that gets him remotely close to GOAT conversations.
His advanced stats, wins over replacement, etc. make no sense to keep him in the top 3 all time, let alone goat.
He changed how the game is played, he changed the over arching direction of strategy and implementation, etc. Idk how people view that specific impact in the conversation, but imo 1) timing is everything and 2) others did as well, admittedly to similar or smaller effect.
Brady had to leave and win without belichick to silence any non goaters. It’s not Steph’s problem he’s played almost his whole career with one of the highest rated organizations, greatest spenders, hof coach and teammate. But it’s still facts. It’s Jordan/pippen convo all over again, but Draymond is central to the entire teams defensive implementation, helping cover curry’s biggest weakness/lapse.
If someone has a good game, and they’re completely unstoppable, but when they have a bad game they simply had a “bad shooting night but was a great decoy” to me can’t be part of goat conversation.
Not cherry picking, just the
first stat that popped out at me if true. Steph Curry, greatest shooter of all time, with true shooting % of 62.5% lifetime, LeBron 59%. (Was just looking at stat muse lifetime stats)
Yeahhhhhhh, that’s a no for me dog
