Steph has a great support team at home too. Dude isn't out on the streets, comes from a good family, etc....he really could be a milestone in the character of the league.
Are NBA defenders just retarded when it comes to this dude Steph?

Unbelievable shooter but i still laugh when teams go under on screens STILL....Id like to see some new things done...double the ball out of hands FORCE someone else top shoot it...hard double and rotate...maybe it sounds easier than it is but i still see alot of bad defense played against him...
Id love to see those 08 Celtics guard him...thats one team that could probbaly neutralize him...

Steph literally challenges everything you're taught about playing team defense. It's insane

All you have to do is suffocate him, give him no space once he passes half court and trap him on screens?
Sounds easy enough
he also says the center has to hedge hard but the rest of the guys have to play 4 on 4. I guess he wants a switch where the center is guarding Curry and a point guard is on Bogut/Ezeli?
Jordan is not a perimeter guy. The other 77 plus games he's not asked to help out of a sharpshooter like steph. Dudes need to start full court pressing and trapping him as soon as he passes half court. But the other guys are shooters/passes too. Then there chasing steph everywhere and fighting through staggered double screens
Lebron, Durant, Westbrook, Blake, CP3, Anthony Davis, Kyrie, Kawhi Leonard, Chris Bosh, and the list goes on. The narrative that Steph is some aberration is wrong, most of the superstars in the NBA are good character guys who aren't wannabe street dudes.
If teams full court press, they just have someone else bring the ball up the court and put Curry off-ball. He's just as hard to defend without the ball as he is with it.
kinda hard to press the warriors when everybody on the team can handle the ball except for festus
theres a reason why iggy and green bring up the ball so much
You have to hedge out hard and recover, that's why Draymond is so important to that team and what they do, he's usually Stephs outlet on traps/hedges. What happens if you decide to trap him is that Draymond is at the the 3 line with options and no center in the paint to protect the rim, he can either take the three or he'll put the ball on the floor and go to the rim, Barnes/Thompson are usually in the corners waiting and when their man has to rotate over to Draymond going to the rim like @Big Boss says it's over.
The only way to defend him is build a team that can switch everything on defense, that way nobody is left on an island.

Most NBA legends come from stable two parent homes and are high character people, the fukk are you talking about?
Cavs the only hope
The Thunder have the personnel to beat them in a series, they could go with KD at center if the Warriors use Green at the 5.
