someone always can slow you down. there's always one. most star players have one or two guys that bother them a bit. or one or two teams that can bother them a bit. what Gs is doing is that their analytics and offensive players are ahead of the nba's defensive schemes. and ahead of what players have been taught about how to defend drives to the basket. with this team you need to flip what you were taught and run them off the line in hopes they will take mostly 2s and not many 3's.

You ain't go the answers Sway :heh:

What i'm trying to tell yall is this. its not about i will do this or that as much as it is about Defending curry is to THINK LIKE CURRY.

#1. where does he want to shoot
#2. what is he trying to do with his dribble(drive for a layup/dunk/ tear drop, pull up, or pass, or create space for his shot?

the answer is create space for his shot. and his shot is well beyond the 3 point line up to the 3 point line all around the 3 point line. he's wet from everywhere, but especially the top angles of the 3 line.

now divisive your plan.

If i shoot 3's like you shoot layups, like lebron goes for dunks. well... then my 3 ball is my dunk/layup. play me for the 3, not for the drive. stop playing this guy for the drive.

true. but if you've played vs these kind of ball handlers with the "i dont care" mentality when it comes to launching 3;s. you will realize they have something in common. they LOVE shooting so much, they will risk taking a horrible 3, vs just going to the rack every time. because its in their very nature to chuck the 3. the same way a guy like dwade would sometimes over force it to the rack and get that charging foul. its the same way if you sat on curries shooting hand. he would take really bad 3's anyway vs going to the rack and doing the easy thing consistently. he would revert back to doing what he loves to do best. chuck 3's. this is just human nature. we like certain things and have certain patterns. we can break the pattern for a moment but at the end of the day we will always wind up back in that original pattern.


That's what makes Curry so insane. He doesn't, at least so far, have the selfishness that a lot of other top tier and lower NBA players have. There's tons of records he hasn't broke only because he played unselfish. Dude will blow by you and take the two if tha's what you give him. You don't shoot with such efficiency without playing high IQ, unselfish basketball.

step back with him. you already know where's he's going. he's trying to create space. like i never understand how nick young gets his shot off so often . he has serious handles going left to right. but thats all he's doing. shaking, shaking. open Swish.

if you realize and say the hell with the guys driving ability. you will have a better chance of stopping his 3 at least.

Bro. No disrespect, but you sound crazy :heh:

I'm just not about to downplay professional athletes and what they are trying to do on the court where the answers to how to defend this guy can be found on here.


Steph is simply special. Let's enjoy it.

HE'S not selfish. but he LOVES to chuck. thats in his dna. everyone has things they LOVE to do. draymond LOVES passing. more so than scoring. why would you play dray for the score? you shouldnt.

i'm enjoying it. and i still have a clue on how to defend a crazy shooter like him. i said defend. not stop. there's a difference. you cant stop anyone in the nba anymore due to the rule changes.

no, i sound realistic to those that have played these kind of chuckers. but you no nothing about that for one of two reasons. #1 you have never played vs elite shooters, #2 you have never cared about defense so you wouldnt have any idea if what i said was true or false. you are just shooting the messegender since i'm not currently in the nba.

I have played in pickup games vs NBA dudes.

How do you figure that I don't care about defense?

Have you ever played against elite NBA shooters? :lupe:

I mean, I'm sure but he's a smart enough player to usually do what will benefit the team, it just so happens that chucking usually is the most beneficial but when it's passing or driving he will do that instead and he's one of the best in the league at both as well. I've watched almost every warrior game the last three years and this is fact.

for the last time...Curry is not aiming
It's all muscle, wrist, and finger tip memory...mechanics
shyt is unreal. Most great players have a spot on the floor where they're automatic. This dude has it everywhere
