“For average guys 6 inches could change our entire game” that hit some harder than others
yeah here an 5,5 sooo its hard bro
yeah i wasnt thinking about basketball game
It’s gotta be big but it’s gotta fit too
Im 5’7 inches. Yes I measured it
Noel Mars your cool and made the joke funnier
Dennis Rodman is one of the greatest rebounders of all time and what is so amazing is that he was 6' 7" which is an inch shorter than Pippen. Since he was so short for a "big man", he had to actually develop skills for rebounding. Rodman is probably the best rebounder in terms of technical skill. He literally watched film of his teammates to know like if Jordan shoots from the left elbow moving to his left and he misses the ball will go to "x" spot. If he was 7 feet tall I think he'd actually be a worse rebounder. He probably wouldn't learn any of those skills because he wouldn't have to.
damn thats deep
Dennis Rodman is a BEAST.

The real question: "what if AI was actually 6' tall?"
Lol
there was an article i think about it “what if ai was 6’4”
6' 6" or 6' 7" is the perfect height. You're not too tall to not try. But you're not too short to have a disadvantage, that's why we have the best players like Kobe and MJ at 6' 6".
And Lebron
Random Guy 6’4 to 6’7 are the best height
The best You can see 6’8
@@thebestyoucansee169 good and fair that u included LeBron...I'm a Curry fan tho 🤣
I mean Kareem is 7 foot and arguably the second best player oat
The right question my friend is “What if Giannis had Currys’s shot?”
Rest In Peace Kobe ❤️
Anthony C-H-R no Durant
I would be scared of him if I was an nba player
Red Rum Durant has already an amazing shot! Not Currys ofc, but an excellent shot!
He would be Averaging 45 13 6
he would be goat no doubt, and he is working on that for years now, i think during his prime he will be most unstoppable player in history

But it would just be that much easier and open
@@md23603 i think that if steph was taller he would be slower. Probably Same shoot skills, but a slower player. He would be a completely different kind of player, i dont know if he would be Better. There are chances he would be Better Like worse.
@@mence5992 that’s true, but what I was thinking of is what if he had his quickness and speed at 7’0, imo he would be way better defensively(longer reach, more blocks, if he matched against pgs they wouldn’t be able to get around him) and offensively ig it wouldn’t change much except getting dunks on people instead of just layups in traffic, and his 3 game would probably stay the same

Jxmy: “weight is correlated with shooting ability”
Nikola Jokić: *imma pretend i didn’t see that*
It's true
jakob de le he not cappin. it’s real true man
@ROSHAN SHAWN HART weight affects shooting but if you practice it enough you can still perfect it
He's called an outlier, every statistical chart has at least a few of them.
32% isn’t that good just saying
Well, if he’s 7 feet tall he wouldn’t be guarding Kyrie?
Y u gotta Steal commemts
Sagal Ali Badho it’s just common sense
Ikr Kalyn was guarding Kyrie and they switched
It’s what I thought too
Ben Simmons in 6-10 and is pg.
summary: in reality, lil uzi vert is 5"4, when he stands on his money however, he's 6"6
I feel like Anthony Davis is a good example of what players would be like. Having practiced most of his time as a pg and then getting an insane growth spurt to become a 4/5 who can handle and stretch the floor was a huge boost to his game

Manute Bol's like "but if I was 5 inches taller I could walk from one end of the court to the other in five steps and dunk from half court".
I disagree with the thought that just giving Steph 6 inches all of a sudden won’t make him a better player. This is because he would be able to get his shot off more often, be able to play better defense, being able to grab more boards, be able to drive in the lane with a better chance of getting the lay up, etc. This would give Steph even more of an advantage and allow him to be an even better player.
Hi Jxmy. I’m a Japanese college student currently writing my graduation thesis and I have realized that ever since I started watching your videos my English writing skills have gone through the roof. The way you logically back up your statements is something that should be admired and I have benefited greatly from it. So on behalf of all the other ppl like me I would like to thank you for the amazing content that you create. Also I cannot get over the fact how bad my Phoenix Suns still are.
your suns are good now
@@leovarghese5630 yeah
That's wonderful to hear! And your Suns just beat my Lakers :(
@@supertrampolinethebatpony3841 my Lakers too
Well, ur Suns r in the finals now and your clearly doing exceptional in school. Sounds like life is good👀💯
Probably this applies more to big men, like imagine a 7'7" Shaq
7'7 shaq with curry range LOL
Don't worry, that would get him nerfed in the next update.
They gon have to chop off his legs
like 220 Kilogramms. He might get an heartattack every game
If Shaq was 7'7" then he'd never be able to finish a game because no backboard could survive lone enough.
This is the best video that jimmy has made so far. Smart and fresh prespective
What if?
Just make him 7"0 on 2K and theirs your answer
If curry was 7 feet he’d just be KD with Range Extender
Steph has better handles then KD
amna fd thanks for that obvious comment you just composed. We had no idea that Steph could dribble better then Kevin Durant.
Or limitless range
Jebadiah Springfield and better passing ability and vision. Cant forget that
V2_Ultra given the fact that he could keep the same athletic ability at 7 feet... along with the handles. He wouldn’t have to work on his handles as much if he was 7 feet because he would be able to get his shots in different ways
Jxmy: “What if Stepg Curry was 7ft tall”
Also Jxmy at end of vid: Stephen Curry would just be 7ft tall
It means his game will not change. In other words his a 7 footer with a 3 point and shooting ability better than kd
Langs Longlong but his points about how his game won’t change makes no sense, he says that he will just play the same and if that’s the case he will be grabbing boards and putting in blocks as well as no longer being a defensive liability..... guys points make no sense at all
😂
@@Batterymanificationz yo I feel the fuck outta that. I came to the comments to see if anyone felt like I do.
HeathTN his point is that curry wouldn't have learned his skill set if he was taller. and if u just added height later on curry wouldn't get the same opportunities because they'd want him to grab rebounds and play in the paint. and i'd hardly call his height a defensive liability. shorter players are actually better at perimeter defense because they are more level to the ball. it's just interior defense that's the problem but why is it so important for your point guard to have good defense in the paint? currys a liability on defense because he's just not good at it. cp3 is a great short defender
This is what makes AD so good, his growth spurt was so late that he had gaurd skills before he was a big man
Giannis as well
@@janseanhernane3191 not really he can't really shot. he struggles a lot from the free throw and most of his points are running and dunking
it’s the hunger, short players or disadvantage player have the hunger to prove people wrong in every sports. I love this video mqn
I think being a 7 foot son of Dell Curry, he would have still learned how to really shoot the basketball more than most of the NBA average shooters.
But if he was the son of dell curry and he was 7 foot wouldn’t that mean that dell curry would have to be taller which means maybe he wouldn’t have worked on his shooting game as much either
Ajani White Bro. That shit is trippy
Tyler Weems haha thanks
@@ajaniwhite5964 Nah Mike's parents weren't tall and Dell Curry is 6'4, so his son could easily be 6'6 or 6'7 and people be like "oh he grew." 7ft is a huge reach tho
If steph was 7 ft tall, then it'd mean that he ain't the legitimate son of Dell Curry... Srsly..? 7 ft 😂? Calls for more family drama than NBA

Hasib TH-cam to pygmies 5’6 is tall
this is some seriously high quality basketball content
rewatching almost 2 years later. and that intro is still so goated
If Curry was taller he wouldn’t be guarding Kyrie in the first place
entire argument debunked in one sentence
What if Kyrie was 7 feet
Carlos Montes Then neither would be at the three point line, they would be in the paint
That’s true, but then again I think he would still be playing point guard. Look at Ben Simmons he doesn’t shoot and can only shoot close to the hoop but he still is a true point guard he knows how to score, run the offense, and set teammates up. And Curry by any means is not a great defender so I think it would be smarter to guard Kyrie because a better defender like draymond or Klay could D-Up Lebron.

@ curry better than durcant though
save you 12 minutes of your life right here:
'if steph curry was 7 foot tall he wouldn't be steph curry'
@Noyce Gaming Why did you click on the video in the first place? Was it for good content and a thorough explanation to the question presented in the title? If so, then I don't think your 12 minutes were wasted. If however it was to hear some fantasy about Curry turning into a god or something, then I can see how you might be a bit disappointed.
@Noyce Gaming That's a bit oversimplifying the video - of course saying it like that will sound boring. Even though the conclusion might feel somewhat of a letdown, I personally found his explanations very interesting and informative.
@Noyce Gaming Yea that claim was out of place; it was a contradiction to what he previous and afterwards said.
😂😂😂
Completely agree w you I hate dumbass videos like this but I still clicked his cause I really enjoy his content but I’d rather heard soem like what if curry had 2-3 more inches on him. Obviously increasing or decreasing someone size like from 6’3-7ft like obviously that’s gon fuck anyone’s whole game up. 😂 now if you go 6’3- 6’6 feel me that would be a lil more interesting n worth talking bout
I would love to see you do a video analyzing how height affects the longevity of an NBA career.
Damn, this was a trip. Loved it
If he was 7ft he wouldn't be guarding kyrie

Man you pulled a unorganized reverse on me lol but I enjoyed the perspective. Great video
I agree in principle but I think the fun comes (and the topic gains interest) when you remove their history and just add the height to their already existing skill-sets. What happens if the exact same player (Iverson for example) is suddenly 6’5”! Same crossover, same shot and same disposition. I think that’s a fun conversation and you’d have some pretty good debates.
that's what i thought this video ws about!

Yeah! He shouldn’t have thinked before uploading it !! 😡
I don't think you understand the concept of "hypothetical".
Butterfly effectttttttt
Bron would not have screamed on a 7 ft Steph.
Curry would be slower and worse at shooting.
never been this early love you tho jxmy keep it up
Mi Ster you need to to work on your abbreviation knowledge as asap as possible
@@ronnie.c3222 no he doesn't you need to, you don't say as possible after saying asap dumbass
But here’s the thing you completely denied the title, if steph curry still had the same shooting ability and skill set as his 6 foot self but in a 7 foot body he would be much better because he gets to strengthen each part of his height weakness and his shooting handling whatever will stay the same according to the first hypothesis made
Thats also the exact reason why Kobe had one of the craziest work ethic to perfect his craft and to overcome his shortcomings
Was early for first upload. And the second. That how you know jimmys a good TH-camr.
