Is there an argument, this season, for any player over Curry? This might be the greatest offensive season of all time.

I don't think there is. Lebron, Durant and RW are still transcendental players, but Curry makes shots that don't even go in on video game "easy mode".

Yes, Curry is in a perfect system, but that system isn't why he's nailing multiple 30+ foot shots in the clutch. He's easily the best shooter I've ever seen, combining accuracy with volume.

Nice reaction after RW is the one guarding Curry

Watch the games vs grizzlies/Celtics and post your reaction

You know why the Spurs were able to beat Cavs in the finals?  Leonard slowing down/shutting down Lebron

You know why the Bulls were unstoppable bc nobody could slow down Jordan.   

Remedy to slow down Curry is have a solid defender like AB, Allen on him. Play physical D. Glue onto him

This said he is still one of the top players in the league. Let's just calm down to say he is the greatest ever bc he is making beyond the 3 shots being guarded by so so defenders

Name a better shooter -- volume + accuracy + range -- than Curry.

look at the 4:00 min mark. That is how you need to defend Curry once the ball is inbounded. Not what RW did

look at the clever D at 5:52.

And yet, despite that D, Steph killed the Griz. In playoff games Tony played: 25.8 points, 39% 3PT%

Steph can be forced into tough shots. The problem is, he makes tough shots. He has the occasional poor game, but his body of work surpasses any other guard by a wide margin.

how is this good?   He had to launch that many more shots to score/avg 25.8 points.
