It’s tough to choose but if we add context , I’m going klay. Yes curry is the greatest shooter , lillard has the craziest range and melo is a mid range assassin…. But Klay easily had the 3 best shooting performances in nba history: 1. Nba record 14 3 pointers 2. Nba record 37 points in a quarter 3. 60 points on 11 dribbles Keyword is hot and when hot, I gotta go with Klay 🤷🏽♂️
I agree with your point. For it’ll be prime Melo because if he hot who can put on him. He a bigger than them so he can score inside out and play physical asl. Klay scary hot but only reason why I wouldn’t pick him it’ll be because Steph make it easier for klay to be in rhythm
That’s 3 games bro. Steph hits 10 3-pointers every month of a season and then hits 7 every 5 games lol. That’s called being hot and they win these games all by blowout
Klay for sure. Never seen anyone do what he’s done. 10 straight 3s vs the Lakers. 9/9 3PT 13/13 FG in a single quarter. 14 3s in a game. 60 points in 3 quarters
@@ApexRookie1Nah, those are desperation shots they would normally dont take those shots even when Hot cause they're just desperately taking those shots to cut the lead with little time left. Klay did is doing it the whole game
@@CMCut one shot is desperation maybe I’ll even give you two the 2 I referenced were flaming hot that’s why it was consistent and consistency is the definition of hot

@@allan.a.c6043but steph is a nobody without klay. Was the worst team in the LEAGUE after klay got hurt. He missed the playoffs every year klay was hurt😂 klay’s first yr back and they win a ring 🤷🏽♂️
It's Klay. He's the one person you don't want to let see the ball go in. 37 points in a quarter is absolutely insane. And you can't stop his shot either. I've watched this man catch the ball at eye level, shoot in 0.3 sec and hit nothing but the bottom of the net. Nasty fucking work man
I would say curry because it’s not just the fact he hits the shot, but it’s the way he hits the shot (I.e., looking away, contested). You can literally see the crowd and players look like there souls got took.
There’s nothing more demoralizing then those late 4th quarter Steph 3s. Somehow magically your team didn’t get blown out, it’s 1:30 left on the clock, Steph shoots bricks, your team somehow fails to get the rebound, Steph relocated, get the ball, cash money, Warriors up 5. Back breaker.
@@diffuser2459he scored 37 in one quarter making 9 straight 3's and going 13-13 in the quarter. Before KD even joined the team. And you making up scenarios that don't exist, He's on the warriors we don't know what would happen on another team
@@CocaineMoneyBagszproblem is it’s a factor with all of them lol When you’re hot these nba players start doing shit they never really do Fr Klay when hot out of nowhere posting up shooting fades too lol
They said Steph don’t have to score 60 because he don’t play in the 4th quarter, but Klay got 60 in 3 quarters… Steph is most definitely the better player between him and Klay but when Klay gets hot it’s a wrap. Nobody in this world could guard him. But what makes Steph a better player is he’s more consistent when it comes to getting hot. Klay got hot once every couple of months in his prime. Steph is almost always hot and that makes him more unguardable.
@@malkurnegus9fothadon980 When Klay gets hot you know the Warriors are gonna feed him every chance they get so they obviously see they have to switch up the game plan. He just gets too hot for the defense sometimes
Klay is the better player ... player...and more of the reason they actually win ...their defense.. Steph doesn't play defense. Clay defends the other teams best players...
I have to agree with Gil Klay is the defacto you don’t want to see when hot ; Steph is going to do Steph things consistently but when klay get in his mode their unbeatable and it makes the game seem unfair
@@Mrsp0nge16 He was the guy smoking everybody on 2016 and that didnt had to play the 4th quarters because did a blowout of 9 points in like 40 seconds like he did in the 73-9 win against spurs, he controls the ball better than Dame, Klay and Melo. Steph is the guy that is aways doubled in playoffs, even with KD and Klay, search for Tyron Lue's revealed strategy for the cavs in the finals, they choose to guard Steph because he is the most dangerous when get hot
Facts melo playing you physical asl post up, shooting is dangerous, he don’t need a pick at all to get his shot, and he not scared of double team. Plus he play the 3-4 so it hard to guard him one on one.
Carmelo is the most complete offensive threat of the choices. While he isn't the threat from 3 to the degree that the others are, he can hit them. He can post, slash, spot up, and bring the ball up and pull.
@ItsJay_ In today's game Melo becomes more lethal because you can't get physical with him. Melo in his prime played with many non Shooting bigs. The Spacing in today's game makes Melo the most dangerous player when he's hot just off his scoring mentality and his bag is deeper than Dame, Steph, and definitely Klay
Its def Klay. Everyone else are first options so you can zone in on them. When Klay gets hot... you still have to worry about Steph... which makes it even more of a task. Its a nightmare. Every time Klay caught a heater this season.. the coaches on the opposing team is visibly terrified and frustrated. It really is a nightmare. So if you talking "Most Dangerous"... its the guy who can go get 60 as a second option. Because he wasnt even your priority defensively. If Klay gets hot... with Steph on the floor... 9/10 you lost the game... its a wrap
This is a trash opinion. The topic is surrounded as if one individual gets hot not putting other people in that team particularly. Cause if that is logic of yours then dame/step and melo/step should be included. So the option is only step and dame. But step is just ahead a few miles
I was at the Bulls game when Klay made 14 threes I believe it was & they benched him half way into the 3rd quarter lmaooo imagine how many he could have made!
Why are they sleeping on MELO? The difference between MELO and the other 3 is when he’s hot, he is gonna score on you in ways the other 3 can’t……….and there’s nothing you can do about it. 3, mid-range, low post, free throw and the drive.
I think they may be putting a high emphasis on 3s, and although Melo can shoot 3s, the others are more known for it and it’s the 3 better than 2 (mid range, post, drive, etc) argument. Not agreeing or disagreeing but just explaining them not considering him much for THIS debate. Because this group has ranked Melo high in versatile scorers and hardest to defend in other conversations.
Facts plus a lot of players hate guarding melo because he’ll play he physical asl and punish you. He don’t need a pick to get open shoot and he did it without a real 2nd scoring option on his side. Klay and Steph on the same team it easier for one of them to have a hot night
Klay got a advantage because when Steph on the floor the defense is focused on Steph more and when they had kd and he dropped that 60 he was as guarded like the third option. Dame Steph and melo heating up is better because they got hot as the first option on the team
Klay scored 37 in one quarter before KD and everyone on the other team knew he was getting the ball and couldn't stop him they weren't even worried about Steph they doubled Klay instead
@@CoutureThugthat’s one game dude. Every time Klay gets hot the game will still be in reach. Steph gets hot and the whole team ramps it up and they win by blowouts 90% of the time minimum!
Kobe hit 81 in a game when he was hot. He also outscored an entire NBA team by himself through 3 Quarters scoring 62 points in 3 Quarters vs Dallas. That's getting hot. Kobe once had 4 straight 50 point games. Kobe is the last guy you want to guard when hot and he's the most explosive scorer that ever lived.
Stephs constant movement w/o the ball, running around multiple screens, being universally known/feared as the goat shooting & top5 ball handler of all time, being able to get his own one on one & incredible finisher @the rim make him unquestionably harder to guard/plan for both reason/playoffs than stationary iso players like Melo/Dame!💯
Klay.... Steph, Melo and Dame put up high scores regardless of being 'HOT'--- those guys are going to score! But when Klay gets 'HOT' his 20 point night easily increases to a 50 or 60 point scoring night
Dont forget Melo had 62 with 8 mins left...all jumpers. Would have broke Kobe's record. And he had the record for most points in a quarter I'd rank them Klay, Melo, Dame, Stef. But Klay gets hot A LOT less than the others. Like Klay would be a once in a blue moon thing but the other 3 could give u 50 at any time.
They are called splash brothers for a reason because they complement each other so well but Steph clearly has proven that he still can get hot when Klay is out. I can't tell the other way.
That's not true he's done it many times he did it just last season when Steph was out he went berserk and was the main reason they got to the playoffs in Steph's absence
I feel like Melo was Highly disrespected in this conversation we forgetting when he got hot against Cleveland and Lebron 42 game winner. When he got hot against the bulls and hit the three to send the game into OT and and the game winner in Ot in the same spot
Steph… I understand why people say Klay, tho.. but when Steph is really on, them 3 bombs are demoralizing. Think about how much gameplanning teams do for Steph and SOMEHOW they lose him during the possession and he gets wide open 3s, 3s in your face, shimmy 3s, 3s when he turns around and doesn’t watch the shot go in??? Fam… it’s Steph; when he’s hot, each make takes a little bit of your soul away
When he gets going it feels almost inevitable. The thing is, Curry doesn't even have to be hot to drop 6 or 7 threes. We've gotten so accustomed to Curry dropping 20 points from 3 and then cooking up folks off of the bounce that we think it's normal now.
Dame straight up dropped over 70 with the least taken shots out of everybody that score 70 0r more with like and 85 percent fieldl or something like that crazy
Curry no question! Much love to Klay but the reason he got those high point games is because of who was on the floor with him. He was the second or third option. If u got Klay bustin 60 in three quarters, and not lockin him down, its because Steph is so dangerous that he requires two or more defenders on him. He is so dangerous that the opposing team cant afford to even let him get hot. And yet he still does make 9 threes in 30 or more games. Imagine if Curry had one defender a whole game like his rookie year. It would be lights out.
Andd Steph aint got the green light like dame in his second map Steph sat at over 20 4th quarters imagine what his points total would be if he had Stott as his coach
Klay is gonna put crazy pressure on your team because he can score THE FASTEST. When he's hot he doesn't have to dribble, hit a move into a pull up (like steph), Klay is just gonna shoot right when the ball touches his hands. A guy like Melo can score 60 but at a slower pace, Melo's gonna go into his bag slow the game down...
The question should encompass who can be guarded when hot! Of the 4 which one would you say to yourself, "I cannot guard this guy when he is hot." Klay doesn't dribble. Runs off screens. With a switching defense, can be neutralized off the catch and shoot. Same with Steph. Steph does dribble usually gets shot off picks. Blitz the pick with a trap. Dame does not move without the ball. Guard him from the moment the ball is passed inbounds to him. Carmelo is un-guardable when hot! Can shoot off the catch, can shoot off the dribble. Moves without the ball, post up game, physical offensive player, quick shot and bigger. You may feel you have a chance to cool off the other 3 but Carmelo is too big, too strong.
When Klay gets in those modes, it’s so sharp that it’s painless - almost didn’t realize it happened until it’s too late.. when Steph is in those modes, you can see the pain, exasperation and helplessness on the opponent’s faces.. Klay gets hotter.. but when Curry goes off, it seems like the points count for more somehow.. so I’ll go with Steph
Hahahahahahaha!.. that’s funny shit dude.. your point is well taken lol.. they are masters of their craft though.. I have no problem acknowledging or appreciating that in someone else.. thing is, if you think what I said about them is overboard, you should hear what I think about myself! Lol..
The problem with Melo in this debate is cause Melo wasn’t a “hot” player. Yes that 60 pt game in NY he was on fire but he just scores. Period. He just scores. Idk how to properly word it but him getting 40 almost didn’t feel like a thing because every time he got the ball you just expected a bucket. I can’t even recall many games Melo didn’t score well when he was healthy etc
A 62 point game multiple 50s u right it seem like a easy 20 atleast ever night 😂😂😂😂😂😂 his 50 with the Knicks against the heat once he got hot shit got to easy side note idont think Bron played lol
@@jcchambers7896 Melo killed bron Wade and Bosh in the eastern finals 2013 they kept switching on him n he kept scoring. I think it was only 40 something that game but it was incredible how he was beating the Defense
To be former NBA players, I'm not hearing anything intelligent. There's no answer other than Klay and we saw it with our own eyes 3x. 37 in a qtr is the best scoring performance ever. YES, EVER (over Wilt's 100). 14 3s in a game. 60 on 11 dribbles. How is this a conversation?
This is about when they are hot, doesn't matter how you are getting your shot off as long as you are making them. Each team plays differently, warriors have never played ISO ball
I’d even put Jamal Murray up there. That bubble run was insane where him and Mitchell were going 50 vs 50 almost every game. He elevates like crazy in the playoffs. But I would go for Klay. That 37 in a quarter where he took 4 dribbles that whole game 😅😅😅
It’s Klay. There really isn’t a debate. The only debate is between Steph or Klay, but it’s Klay. If he’s hot, there’s no doubt it’s Klay. Again, that doesn’t mean that Klay is a better shooter than Steph. However, a lot of nba players and coaches will tell you when Klay’s hot, he’s the most dangerous.
It’s Curry, when he’s hot, he can just shoot circus shots and they’ll still go in no matter what. Floaters high in the sky, contest three-point shots with multiple defenders on him. And he doesn’t need screens for him to score when he’s hot, he’ll just create his own shot when needed and it’ll still go in
Also its Klay because of exactly what Gil said... he has no conscious whatsoever. This coach i know calls him "Space Cadet Klay".. He is in his own world when he is hooping...
Klay goes nuclear. Steph’s is more entertaining in the sense that how he scores is more varied. He gets in a rhythm where you’re constantly just shaking your head at the wonderment of his arsenal. Steph will be on the road and have the opponent’s fans cheering for him.
i like how BJ is arguing for steph because steph wins games, but then also says "you don't wanna deal with kyrie when he's hot" xD i love these silly debates. you don't stop any of these guys when they're hot.
I don’t think he was picking Kyrie over Steph I think he was just saying oh well after Steph then he would go Kyrie because Melo and dame and Kyrie can all get buckets when hot and lose also so whose is the most dangerous in that regard I would say kyries also cause he gone embarrass u when hot
Klay turn into an inferno when he gets going. He has the most points in a quarter by anyone ever, most 3s in a game, he barely needs to dribble but doesnt hesitate to get into his bag either. No one else feels as automatic, its not always flashy but its always silky smooth
That OKC game I won’t ever forget it was the first game I actually watched of him and he went nuts and I was like damn all that hype is real this kid is crazy
I say Dame cuz dame can get to the basket, Midrange, 3pt, halfcourt, all off the dribble and creating his own shot and Dame has been the most clutch player the last Decade pretty much
But Dame has no help.. unlike the others whos teammates command double teams.. hard to argue but i give it to Dame just based on that.. Melo has a case too though..
Id say Jordan. He sustains hot scoring over entire seasons, playoff series. Other dues get hot 1 every 3-4 games, have a few down games than pick it back up. Jordan, would get multiple games in a row in the playoffs or finals, dropping 40-50 plus, back to back games. And during the kate 80s early 90s, he'd just hit middy after middy after middy, get to the rim dunk on your center, make a few flashy hanging layups then hit the game winner. And he was so fast and agile he could get to his spot whenever he wants. Other players passed out of double teams jordan just rose up over them and let it fly. He'd sustain a 32 ppg average over a season on 50% + from the field, then INCREASE HIS PPG average over a playoff run going for 37-40 ppg over a series, not a singular game. Jordan would drop 60, then 49, then 52, then 38, then 50 over the course of a road trip 😂. Then he'd have a bad game or two then go right back to dropping 40+. And his mid range fadeaway, whether in the post or off the pull up was damn near automatic. Had multiple games of scoring 17-20+ in the fourth quarter because someone talked shit to him at halftime or something. So im going jordan. His hotness would be sustained over long stretches of time from like February through may/june. Everyone else on this list is giving you a game or two out of a series where they drop 40 plus. Jordan averaged 42 ppg in a finals series back to back 40 games and a double nickel game.
A lot of words but ultimately being able to score heavily isn't getting hot Jordan is the best scorer ever but getting hot is when you chuck everything up and it's going in so the easy example is Klay's 37 in a quarter everything went in during that quarter he went 13 for 13 including 9 3's it's like being on fire in NBA Jam it lasts for a limited period of time during
Klay. This is not to say he’s a better player than steph Or a better shooter… but when he has been hot he blacks out and gives some of the greatest performances we have ever seen. When he’s in his zone he is a absolutely unstoppable
That Steph game he had in OKC I watch those highlights till this day the degree of difficulty was just unmatched that game showed me even hurt and taking physical contact Steph can play
It’s crazy that when LeBron says he’s hurt and still plays ppl say he’s not really hurt, even if he has a bad game bc of it. When steph says he’s hurt and has a great game, ppl say “look how amazing he plays even while hurt” 💀 People were saying LeBron made up that foot injury last yr 😂 even tho he was dunking before the injury and wasn’t as much after.
imma have to go w melo complete bag unguardable scores on all three levels constantly doubled & tripled teamed would be even crazier in this era w no defense
@@TChalla007It should be Steph for multiple reason but this ain't about him picking Klay number 1. Rewatch the video and pay close attention, it's clear he's a hater. It's not even just this video, Gil has been consistent with hating on Steph
Melo first in my book. he literally doesn't need any help. dames next if not first. then clay then steph. Steph and clay needs screens to be effective. and theres always great shooters around them. Melo Gets it out the mud by himself. give me the ball and clear out. Dame orchestrates the offense and can get his own bucket from anywhere. screen or not. help or not. they just went into a whole discussion on how the steph and clay is this and that but their hotness depends on alot of help from the team. melo and dame are more iso. kyrie too
Think about it from a defensive perspective, if we decided to say that all 4 of these players are on their own team with no consistent second option to take pressure away (meaning they dealing with the entire defense) who would be the toughest player to keep in check? Me personally i would say melo, as a defender there is simply no way to limit his scoring ability, he isnt weak in any area of the floor, and he consistently makes contested shots, you really cant give him anything otherwise its a bucket.
@mirali7488 I mean, if we are being honest, they all are equally dangerous when hot. The real question is, who would be the hardest to cool off between the 4? My answer is still melo, lol
@damonlaw8218 Klay has to be set up, he has a unique position of freedom where he doesn't have to create and he shares the court with the best shooter of all time.
when kyrie get hot he is arguably the greatest player of all time you have 0 chance to stop him and monte ellis and brandon roy would go crazy right now
Bro not even close. Klay isn’t even ball dominant and even his career high is higher and more impressive than kyrie’s. Kyrie doesn’t go as crazy as these other guys when he gets hot. He stops around 40 most of the time. The other guys keep going.
@@patrick05Morgan I see what u saying either one u can't go wrong but I rather guard klay and know what he's going to do than kyrie who has unlimited bags to give you.
Y’all do realize most of kyrie bag is gonna lead to 2 point shots right, he can shoot but it’s steph n klay however u want it, if they hot they putting up 3s all game that’s more points which is why they been winning for so long and it makes them more dangerous
Klay when hot is the only real answer most in a quarter while having Steph on the court and still taking shots. Klay when hot shoots so fast and goes back and defends you lol
Curry’s is the deadliest but at times he can cool his self off bc the more he makes the deeper he shoots, klay is the most consistent hot shooter bc he’s gonna continue shooting spot ups, but w Steph it’s not just that he gets hot it’s how he does it (shimmys, look aways, etc.) it’s a show (not saying the others don’t put on a show)
Dame had the most efficient 60 and 70 point game and on top of that the greatest shooting performance ever (55 vs denver). It is easily Dame, Dame had a whole team including the coaching staff annoyed
I disagree when someone dishing 7 consecutive assists I don't think "damn he's hot rn" but when someone even hits 3 shots in a row I think they heating up. Talking about how hot someone can get is different from who's better
you know damn well when Curry is hot he does not throw regular assist, the court becomes the cirque du soleil, he starts dancing, trolling, letting the crowd know he's on fire, even the team mates on the court becomes on fire when he is.
Klay by far is the most dangerous basketball player when hot. What everyone forgets is that every other player can be defended because it takes longer for those players to get their shots off. Play is the best catch and shoot person on this list and he’ll be the most dangerous. What makes Klay Thompson even more dangerous is that he has the second most dangerous player on the same team.
Steph has also been criticized for not being clutch, and honestly, even when he "carried" them on the 2022 championship, he didn't actually play especially well in the finals. Klay still has the record of most 3s in a game to this day since 2018. This is with dudes last season scoring 70 several times.

Klay 60pts in 11 dribbles every time but this man went 100% shooting and 37pts in a quarter. Didn’t miss a shot. Like how else do you measure getting hot. Same dude went for 11 threes in an elimination game. Red hot Klay ☄️☄️☄️. He’s Klay for a reason and that reason is hotness.
(Never played ball after high school) But I think if Damian was on a good team those games where he gets hot and scores 40-60 points he would win. Like if his team was good it would be easy. My list from those 4 are Dame 1, Steff 2, Klay a very close 3rd, and Mello 4. I was also pretty young when Mello was in his prime so I don't have the best perspective on that.
His momma called him Klay… The question as phrased can’t be debated. Klay did it, does it best. The other Gs are a collection of snipers, gunners who will cut you down in the lane if need be. Klay? Shddd. Two to the dome. It’s over.
@@deeharp Lmfao, yeah, made Klay and Draymond and KD good. God, that must be hard to make HOF look good. Can we have a look with how Curry would make Ant, Nurk, Grant (for 1 year), and CJ look good? I bet Magic had to work to make Kareem to look good too?
Steph for sure. Not to many players can get hot and have both their own home crowd behind them as well as the opponents crowd when on the road. Creating a major psychological advantage.
I’ve seen interview after interview of players relenting how difficult it is to guard Steph on a regular night whether he’s hot or not .. just from his continuous movement . You fatigue faster with Steph whether he’s on fire or not
Klay has a nasty fire streak, but Steph just makes you want to quit the damn game because he's shooting at such a rediculous clip from everywhere that you DON'T want someone to shoot from. I remember how helpless you felt as a team when Steph was going bananas. And because 3>2 you gotta play catch up
Its Dame no question, he got the most 50, 60, 70 points game, and when hot is shooting from midcourt. Klay need someone to give him the ball and find his spot. This is not even a question...
Yea he was hating on Dame with that statement 😂. I like Monte but he’s nowhere near the caliber of player that Dame is. It’s a reason Dame made that Top 75 all time list!
@@vinnyb7953 u clearly didn't read it, I said most. And we don't see Dame doing that in WCF and Finals. But that being said, u would rather have Dame shooting ur 3s or Curry? Lol
You can literally see the fear in their eyes. No matter what kind of shot, he takes, you think it's going on even when he's not hot. So imagine when he's hot. It's scary
Gil really fighting for Klay, I mean 37 a Quarter, no dribbles needed, 60 piece in 29 minutes. 10 straight 3's and 13/13 FG. I'll pick Klay too then Steph. You're hot when you make it rain. Who does that better than the Splash Bros!
Brandon Jennings being one of the only pgs to get the best of Steph at certain points in time and telling y’all he’s the hottest holds more weight to me that’s just my opinion. Like he said I’m not scared of someone getting hot and losing part of the “fear” that you get from guarding someone hot is that u fear they’re going to comeback and the correct answer is Steph.
It’s tough to choose but if we add context , I’m going klay. Yes curry is the greatest shooter , lillard has the craziest range and melo is a mid range assassin…. But Klay easily had the 3 best shooting performances in nba history:
1. Nba record 14 3 pointers
2. Nba record 37 points in a quarter
3. 60 points on 11 dribbles
Keyword is hot and when hot, I gotta go with Klay 🤷🏽♂️
I agree with your point. For it’ll be prime Melo because if he hot who can put on him. He a bigger than them so he can score inside out and play physical asl. Klay scary hot but only reason why I wouldn’t pick him it’ll be because Steph make it easier for klay to be in rhythm

Facts
Facts, he’s a better shooter than curry imo
You need to syop@@Bambino..
@@Bambino..if klay had a great handle he would easily be better shooter then Steph because he’s taller and needs even less separation time
I would say curry because it’s not just the fact he hits the shot, but it’s the way he hits the shot (I.e., looking away, contested). You can literally see the crowd and players look like there souls got took.
There’s nothing more demoralizing then those late 4th quarter Steph 3s. Somehow magically your team didn’t get blown out, it’s 1:30 left on the clock, Steph shoots bricks, your team somehow fails to get the rebound, Steph relocated, get the ball, cash money, Warriors up 5. Back breaker.
I would Kyrie. Because not only can he score at will, but he will embarrass you while doing so.
Dame had Austin rivers thanking god mid game for missing a shot 😂
Steph definitely hits the craziest shots I've ever seen while hot. But Klay it's like he turns into a machine, he makes it look as easy as breathing
😂 that was crazy -ma$e
Klay is burning down the house when hot
burning down the house with kd and steph on the same squad.. put him on a team with no help.. he could be shut down imo..

@@diffuser2459he scored 37 in one quarter making 9 straight 3's and going 13-13 in the quarter. Before KD even joined the team. And you making up scenarios that don't exist, He's on the warriors we don't know what would happen on another team
Ppl forget Klay dropped 37 points in one quarter
Mccants actually had a good point tho. Melo when he was cooking can give it to you from everywhere on the floor
Thats waaaay more of a threat to me if guarding that man
That same thing is a fact about curry.

When you’re hot these nba players start doing shit they never really do Fr
Klay when hot out of nowhere posting up shooting fades too lol
AAYYYOOO
Pauseeeee
They said Steph don’t have to score 60 because he don’t play in the 4th quarter, but Klay got 60 in 3 quarters… Steph is most definitely the better player between him and Klay but when Klay gets hot it’s a wrap. Nobody in this world could guard him. But what makes Steph a better player is he’s more consistent when it comes to getting hot. Klay got hot once every couple of months in his prime. Steph is almost always hot and that makes him more unguardable.
Klay isn't getting guarded how Steph. He isn't get keyed in on as hard as Steph is. Pay attention to the defense abd focus on him.
U realize steph had 62 before right
@@malkurnegus9fothadon980 When Klay gets hot you know the Warriors are gonna feed him every chance they get so they obviously see they have to switch up the game plan. He just gets too hot for the defense sometimes
@@KKOOLSKOOL Yes I realize that. Watched that whole game. What I’m saying is has he ever done it in 3 quarters?
Klay is the better player ... player...and more of the reason they actually win ...their defense..
Steph doesn't play defense. Clay defends the other teams best players...
I have to agree with Gil Klay is the defacto you don’t want to see when hot ; Steph is going to do Steph things consistently but when klay get in his mode their unbeatable and it makes the game seem unfair
Steph is it for me. You can’t stop it. Off the dribble, range, creativity, getting to the basket… you can’t just stop Steph.
Exactly. Now you double or triple whole also creating reactions now so many people are open it’s crazy
If Steph isn’t bringin’ the ball up court then that’s half of his points subtracted right there 🥱😴
@@Mrsp0nge16he brings up the ball every possession
@@Mrsp0nge16 He was the guy smoking everybody on 2016 and that didnt had to play the 4th quarters because did a blowout of 9 points in like 40 seconds like he did in the 73-9 win against spurs, he controls the ball better than Dame, Klay and Melo. Steph is the guy that is aways doubled in playoffs, even with KD and Klay, search for Tyron Lue's revealed strategy for the cavs in the finals, they choose to guard Steph because he is the most dangerous when get hot
Easily Melo. Prime Melo could spot up shoot off the catch, post-up, and finish over the top. When HOT his bag is different than Klay, Steph Dame
Remember when Melo beat LeBron in that overtime game against Cleveland. He went straight at LeBron every time. Prime Melo was a beast.
Facts melo playing you physical asl post up, shooting is dangerous, he don’t need a pick at all to get his shot, and he not scared of double team. Plus he play the 3-4 so it hard to guard him one on one.
Carmelo is the most complete offensive threat of the choices. While he isn't the threat from 3 to the degree that the others are, he can hit them. He can post, slash, spot up, and bring the ball up and pull.
True I’m with you. But NBA today?
@ItsJay_ In today's game Melo becomes more lethal because you can't get physical with him. Melo in his prime played with many non Shooting bigs. The Spacing in today's game makes Melo the most dangerous player when he's hot just off his scoring mentality and his bag is deeper than Dame, Steph, and definitely Klay
Its def Klay. Everyone else are first options so you can zone in on them. When Klay gets hot... you still have to worry about Steph... which makes it even more of a task. Its a nightmare. Every time Klay caught a heater this season.. the coaches on the opposing team is visibly terrified and frustrated. It really is a nightmare. So if you talking "Most Dangerous"... its the guy who can go get 60 as a second option. Because he wasnt even your priority defensively. If Klay gets hot... with Steph on the floor... 9/10 you lost the game... its a wrap
I would say Kyrie. Because not only can he score at will, but he will embarrass you while doing so.
That’s why it should be curry😂
This is a trash opinion. The topic is surrounded as if one individual gets hot not putting other people in that team particularly. Cause if that is logic of yours then dame/step and melo/step should be included. So the option is only step and dame. But step is just ahead a few miles
Bingo🔥🔥🔥🤙🏿
@@dfwherbie8814I’m saying though
Melo so underrated in this conversation it's crazy
Literally
Not even him being hot only got him 1st round exits idek why he’s on this board of guards
Melo way better then all dem
@@tyronejames9279😂
I was at the Bulls game when Klay made 14 threes I believe it was & they benched him half way into the 3rd quarter lmaooo imagine how many he could have made!
Klay most dangerous cause he don’t even need to Dribble, One of the best at getting open, & he 6’7
Why are they sleeping on MELO? The difference between MELO and the other 3 is when he’s hot, he is gonna score on you in ways the other 3 can’t……….and there’s nothing you can do about it. 3, mid-range, low post, free throw and the drive.
Forget dame who pulls from half court
I think they may be putting a high emphasis on 3s, and although Melo can shoot 3s, the others are more known for it and it’s the 3 better than 2 (mid range, post, drive, etc) argument. Not agreeing or disagreeing but just explaining them not considering him much for THIS debate. Because this group has ranked Melo high in versatile scorers and hardest to defend in other conversations.
Facts plus a lot of players hate guarding melo because he’ll play he physical asl and punish you. He don’t need a pick to get open shoot and he did it without a real 2nd scoring option on his side. Klay and Steph on the same team it easier for one of them to have a hot night
Even with melo's greatness, he didnt won a chip. smh
@prussianblueppt Do you realize that in the NBA's 75 year history only like 15% of all players that played in league won a ring?
Klay got a advantage because when Steph on the floor the defense is focused on Steph more and when they had kd and he dropped that 60 he was as guarded like the third option. Dame Steph and melo heating up is better because they got hot as the first option on the team
Klay scored 37 in one quarter before KD and everyone on the other team knew he was getting the ball and couldn't stop him they weren't even worried about Steph they doubled Klay instead
Bullshit...stop pretending people are leaving klay to help on curry.
@@CoutureThugthat’s one game dude. Every time Klay gets hot the game will still be in reach. Steph gets hot and the whole team ramps it up and they win by blowouts 90% of the time minimum!
Did u watch the 2019 finals?
Not really the defense cannot focus on any one person with the Warriors
Step
Klay
KD
Poole
Wiggins
Iggy a few yrs back
Could all kill you
What’s insane about it is this conversation has two/four players on the same team, Steph and klay, and they had KD in that mix INSANE🔥
Kobe hit 81 in a game when he was hot. He also outscored an entire NBA team by himself through 3 Quarters scoring 62 points in 3 Quarters vs Dallas. That's getting hot. Kobe once had 4 straight 50 point games. Kobe is the last guy you want to guard when hot and he's the most explosive scorer that ever lived.
Facts
Klay did score 60 pts in 3 quarters too!! Can't compare Kobe to anyone but Klay when he gets hot, that rhythm is dangerous.
@@anirudhranjan293460 in a qtr lmao, edit that
Gimmie klay
Stephs constant movement w/o the ball, running around multiple screens, being universally known/feared as the goat shooting & top5 ball handler of all time, being able to get his own one on one & incredible finisher @the rim make him unquestionably harder to guard/plan for both reason/playoffs than stationary iso players like Melo/Dame!💯
Facts. He is harder to guard but I think when Klay gets hot just give him the ball. I'm sure Steph would agree and I'm a Curry fan.
Klay.... Steph, Melo and Dame put up high scores regardless of being 'HOT'--- those guys are going to score! But when Klay gets 'HOT' his 20 point night easily increases to a 50 or 60 point scoring night
Dont forget Melo had 62 with 8 mins left...all jumpers. Would have broke Kobe's record. And he had the record for most points in a quarter I'd rank them Klay, Melo, Dame, Stef. But Klay gets hot A LOT less than the others. Like Klay would be a once in a blue moon thing but the other 3 could give u 50 at any time.
Yea so… when they actually “get hot” they go to another level.
Technically klay
Exactly, when hot he doesn't even touch the ball it just goes in
@@ifareagedongod 😭😭😭 shit literally just goes in
60 points on 11 dribbles, enough said
Not Technically at all he’s a 6’7 sniper who doesn’t need a handle
its hard cus steph is damn near always hot lmao
Dame. Bro really be dropping 40 and 50 but never get noticed because he in Portland 💯
They are called splash brothers for a reason because they complement each other so well but Steph clearly has proven that he still can get hot when Klay is out. I can't tell the other way.
That's not true he's done it many times he did it just last season when Steph was out he went berserk and was the main reason they got to the playoffs in Steph's absence
@@richuk69steph was losing in the playin without klay
Klay's 37 point quarter is still one of the funnest things to watch over and over on youtube. It's Klay
He shot 100% that quarter as well
I feel like Melo was Highly disrespected in this conversation we forgetting when he got hot against Cleveland and Lebron 42 game winner. When he got hot against the bulls and hit the three to send the game into OT and and the game winner in Ot in the same spot
That time Melos coached pulled him in the 3rd from from dropping more numbers
Man
Bro, I was saying that. We couldn’t stop him and he was going to the same freaking spot.
The correct choice is Melo by a landslide these dudes are forgetful 🤡s
60 all jump shots
Steph… I understand why people say Klay, tho.. but when Steph is really on, them 3 bombs are demoralizing. Think about how much gameplanning teams do for Steph and SOMEHOW they lose him during the possession and he gets wide open 3s, 3s in your face, shimmy 3s, 3s when he turns around and doesn’t watch the shot go in??? Fam… it’s Steph; when he’s hot, each make takes a little bit of your soul away
When he gets going it feels almost inevitable. The thing is, Curry doesn't even have to be hot to drop 6 or 7 threes. We've gotten so accustomed to Curry dropping 20 points from 3 and then cooking up folks off of the bounce that we think it's normal now.
It’s Dame! Clearly
Dame straight up dropped over 70 with the least taken shots out of everybody that score 70 0r more with like and 85 percent fieldl or something like that crazy
Curry no question! Much love to Klay but the reason he got those high point games is because of who was on the floor with him. He was the second or third option. If u got Klay bustin 60 in three quarters, and not lockin him down, its because Steph is so dangerous that he requires two or more defenders on him. He is so dangerous that the opposing team cant afford to even let him get hot. And yet he still does make 9 threes in 30 or more games. Imagine if Curry had one defender a whole game like his rookie year. It would be lights out.
Andd Steph aint got the green light like dame in his second map Steph sat at over 20 4th quarters imagine what his points total would be if he had Stott as his coach
You literally just made an excuse on why Klay has done something no other player in NBA history has done smh
Gil you got this 1 right. It’s klay
Bruh Brandon Jennings is a elite crybaby no cap smh
@educatedtyrone I knew I wasn't tripping
Klay thompson hands down
Klay is gonna put crazy pressure on your team because he can score THE FASTEST. When he's hot he doesn't have to dribble, hit a move into a pull up (like steph), Klay is just gonna shoot right when the ball touches his hands. A guy like Melo can score 60 but at a slower pace, Melo's gonna go into his bag slow the game down...
The question should encompass who can be guarded when hot! Of the 4 which one would you say to yourself, "I cannot guard this guy when he is hot." Klay doesn't dribble. Runs off screens. With a switching defense, can be neutralized off the catch and shoot. Same with Steph. Steph does dribble usually gets shot off picks. Blitz the pick with a trap. Dame does not move without the ball. Guard him from the moment the ball is passed inbounds to him. Carmelo is un-guardable when hot! Can shoot off the catch, can shoot off the dribble. Moves without the ball, post up game, physical offensive player, quick shot and bigger. You may feel you have a chance to cool off the other 3 but Carmelo is too big, too strong.
When Klay gets in those modes, it’s so sharp that it’s painless - almost didn’t realize it happened until it’s too late.. when Steph is in those modes, you can see the pain, exasperation and helplessness on the opponent’s faces.. Klay gets hotter.. but when Curry goes off, it seems like the points count for more somehow.. so I’ll go with Steph
WHAT?! Nigga just said a whole lotta nothing that didn’t make a lick of sense
Zip his pants up when u done
Hahahahahahaha!.. that’s funny shit dude.. your point is well taken lol.. they are masters of their craft though.. I have no problem acknowledging or appreciating that in someone else.. thing is, if you think what I said about them is overboard, you should hear what I think about myself! Lol..
Klay is the only answer to this.
The problem with Melo in this debate is cause Melo wasn’t a “hot” player. Yes that 60 pt game in NY he was on fire but he just scores. Period. He just scores. Idk how to properly word it but him getting 40 almost didn’t feel like a thing because every time he got the ball you just expected a bucket. I can’t even recall many games Melo didn’t score well when he was healthy etc
A 62 point game multiple 50s u right it seem like a easy 20 atleast ever night 😂😂😂😂😂😂 his 50 with the Knicks against the heat once he got hot shit got to easy side note idont think Bron played lol

@@randyjeter90that never happened
@@2nifty201 it was 2012 but it def did I saw with my own eyes fuck your opinion
To be former NBA players, I'm not hearing anything intelligent. There's no answer other than Klay and we saw it with our own eyes 3x. 37 in a qtr is the best scoring performance ever. YES, EVER (over Wilt's 100). 14 3s in a game. 60 on 11 dribbles. How is this a conversation?
The ONLY TWO guys you MUST check as soon as you cross the half court line are Dame and Steph, period
I would say Dame. That playoff game against Denver when Austin was praying for him to loose. Plus the clutch factor puts him number 1.
Steph can bring the ball up the court n create a shot , cmon Shad. He don't NEED the screens that's just the system
He does need screens

@@keithdinero7484 lol dude gets locked up without screens. Couldn’t even cook Kevin love with the chip on the line

I’d even put Jamal Murray up there. That bubble run was insane where him and Mitchell were going 50 vs 50 almost every game.
He elevates like crazy in the playoffs. But I would go for Klay. That 37 in a quarter where he took 4 dribbles that whole game 😅😅😅
Him and Dame going at it was insanely entertaining.
That's 1 year. All these other players have more than 5 years of being the top shooter
😂😂😂😂what you smoking
@nodaysoff2005 5 years or 5 mins doesn't matter the conversion is about when hot.
Nothing in the bubble matters
It’s Klay. There really isn’t a debate. The only debate is between Steph or Klay, but it’s Klay. If he’s hot, there’s no doubt it’s Klay. Again, that doesn’t mean that Klay is a better shooter than Steph. However, a lot of nba players and coaches will tell you when Klay’s hot, he’s the most dangerous.
It’s Curry, when he’s hot, he can just shoot circus shots and they’ll still go in no matter what. Floaters high in the sky, contest three-point shots with multiple defenders on him. And he doesn’t need screens for him to score when he’s hot, he’ll just create his own shot when needed and it’ll still go in
Also its Klay because of exactly what Gil said... he has no conscious whatsoever. This coach i know calls him "Space Cadet Klay".. He is in his own world when he is hooping...
Klay goes nuclear. Steph’s is more entertaining in the sense that how he scores is more varied. He gets in a rhythm where you’re constantly just shaking your head at the wonderment of his arsenal.
Steph will be on the road and have the opponent’s fans cheering for him.
That 11 dribbles with 60 is crazy but I’m going with Dame
i like how BJ is arguing for steph because steph wins games, but then also says "you don't wanna deal with kyrie when he's hot" xD i love these silly debates.
you don't stop any of these guys when they're hot.
I don’t think he was picking Kyrie over Steph I think he was just saying oh well after Steph then he would go Kyrie because Melo and dame and Kyrie can all get buckets when hot and lose also so whose is the most dangerous in that regard I would say kyries also cause he gone embarrass u when hot
The fact Jamal Crawford wasn’t on that list is crazy. He can come off the bench cold if give you a quick 20 😂
Klay turn into an inferno when he gets going. He has the most points in a quarter by anyone ever, most 3s in a game, he barely needs to dribble but doesnt hesitate to get into his bag either. No one else feels as automatic, its not always flashy but its always silky smooth
Anyone remember Steph got hot game 4 vs Celtics changed the whole series. That's dangerous af
Precisely
That OKC game I won’t ever forget it was the first game I actually watched of him and he went nuts and I was like damn all that hype is real this kid is crazy
I say Dame cuz dame can get to the basket, Midrange, 3pt, halfcourt, all off the dribble and creating his own shot and Dame has been the most clutch player the last Decade pretty much
Love the way McCants broke down their different “hotness”
But Dame has no help.. unlike the others whos teammates command double teams.. hard to argue but i give it to Dame just based on that.. Melo has a case too though..
That’s his fault he could have been left
Hands down Klay has all the textbook “hot” moments
Go to TH-cam and look at Steph hot games.
Steph was hot all of 2015-2016 and wasn’t required for most 4th quarters. When Steph get hot the games End.
Id say Jordan. He sustains hot scoring over entire seasons, playoff series. Other dues get hot 1 every 3-4 games, have a few down games than pick it back up. Jordan, would get multiple games in a row in the playoffs or finals, dropping 40-50 plus, back to back games. And during the kate 80s early 90s, he'd just hit middy after middy after middy, get to the rim dunk on your center, make a few flashy hanging layups then hit the game winner. And he was so fast and agile he could get to his spot whenever he wants. Other players passed out of double teams jordan just rose up over them and let it fly. He'd sustain a 32 ppg average over a season on 50% + from the field, then INCREASE HIS PPG average over a playoff run going for 37-40 ppg over a series, not a singular game. Jordan would drop 60, then 49, then 52, then 38, then 50 over the course of a road trip 😂. Then he'd have a bad game or two then go right back to dropping 40+. And his mid range fadeaway, whether in the post or off the pull up was damn near automatic. Had multiple games of scoring 17-20+ in the fourth quarter because someone talked shit to him at halftime or something. So im going jordan. His hotness would be sustained over long stretches of time from like February through may/june. Everyone else on this list is giving you a game or two out of a series where they drop 40 plus. Jordan averaged 42 ppg in a finals series back to back 40 games and a double nickel game.
A lot of words but ultimately being able to score heavily isn't getting hot Jordan is the best scorer ever but getting hot is when you chuck everything up and it's going in so the easy example is Klay's 37 in a quarter everything went in during that quarter he went 13 for 13 including 9 3's it's like being on fire in NBA Jam it lasts for a limited period of time during
Jordan was greedy!
Good topic to debate, left out Lebron, Jokic and KD which is mind boggling. Past players would’ve been Bird, Mj, Kobe, Tracy McGrady, Reggie Miller.
Klay. This is not to say he’s a better player than steph Or a better shooter… but when he has been hot he blacks out and gives some of the greatest performances we have ever seen. When he’s in his zone he is a absolutely unstoppable
That Steph game he had in OKC I watch those highlights till this day the degree of difficulty was just unmatched that game showed me even hurt and taking physical contact Steph can play
Dame had that 12 3pt game against Denver in the playoffs. The degree of difficulty there was insane
It’s crazy that when LeBron says he’s hurt and still plays ppl say he’s not really hurt, even if he has a bad game bc of it. When steph says he’s hurt and has a great game, ppl say “look how amazing he plays even while hurt” 💀 People were saying LeBron made up that foot injury last yr 😂 even tho he was dunking before the injury and wasn’t as much after.
Does Josiah have a quota to meet on each episode where he has to say “It’s Gil’s Arena” just randomly 😂?
Dame had the other team literally praying he would miss when he had 55 on Denver.Thats it for me
imma have to go w melo complete bag unguardable scores on all three levels constantly doubled & tripled teamed would be even crazier in this era w no defense
its definitely Klay or Steph
but T-Mac should be on the list too, remember what he did to the Spurs with less than a minute
Everytime Steph gets hot...the game is over shortly after

Melo first in my book. he literally doesn't need any help. dames next if not first. then clay then steph.
Steph and clay needs screens to be effective. and theres always great shooters around them. Melo Gets it out the mud by himself. give me the ball and clear out. Dame orchestrates the offense and can get his own bucket from anywhere. screen or not. help or not.
they just went into a whole discussion on how the steph and clay is this and that but their hotness depends on alot of help from the team. melo and dame are more iso. kyrie too
"Thats easy, ME" - Paulito Pierce
One thing bout Paul, he loves him some Paul!
Think about it from a defensive perspective, if we decided to say that all 4 of these players are on their own team with no consistent second option to take pressure away (meaning they dealing with the entire defense) who would be the toughest player to keep in check? Me personally i would say melo, as a defender there is simply no way to limit his scoring ability, he isnt weak in any area of the floor, and he consistently makes contested shots, you really cant give him anything otherwise its a bucket.
That's a good way of putting it, I was thinking the same. IDK how hot Klay can get if Steph wasn't on the floor. I say Dame.
@mirali7488 I mean, if we are being honest, they all are equally dangerous when hot. The real question is, who would be the hardest to cool off between the 4? My answer is still melo, lol
Still say Klay he don't have to do shit but catch the ball when hot nd from everywhere on the court 30 plus in a quarter is crazy
Steph has to score on the WHOLE defense. Steph is the only answer
@damonlaw8218 Klay has to be set up, he has a unique position of freedom where he doesn't have to create and he shares the court with the best shooter of all time.
when kyrie get hot he is arguably the greatest player of all time you have 0 chance to stop him and monte ellis and brandon roy would go crazy right now
Bro not even close. Klay isn’t even ball dominant and even his career high is higher and more impressive than kyrie’s. Kyrie doesn’t go as crazy as these other guys when he gets hot. He stops around 40 most of the time. The other guys keep going.
@@patrick05Morgan I see what u saying either one u can't go wrong but I rather guard klay and know what he's going to do than kyrie who has unlimited bags to give you.
Y’all do realize most of kyrie bag is gonna lead to 2 point shots right, he can shoot but it’s steph n klay however u want it, if they hot they putting up 3s all game that’s more points which is why they been winning for so long and it makes them more dangerous
Shout out to B Jennings for recognizing the Mississippi Bullet , the pride of Horseshoe Circle Monta Ellis. The best 🪣 getter from Jack Town,MS
Dame when he was killing it in the bubble against Denver I think. Had 50 sum. He wouldn’t miss.
Klay the ultimate heat check guy
Klay when hot is the only real answer most in a quarter while having Steph on the court and still taking shots. Klay when hot shoots so fast and goes back and defends you lol
Curry’s is the deadliest but at times he can cool his self off bc the more he makes the deeper he shoots, klay is the most consistent hot shooter bc he’s gonna continue shooting spot ups, but w Steph it’s not just that he gets hot it’s how he does it (shimmys, look aways, etc.) it’s a show (not saying the others don’t put on a show)
Mfs forget Kawhi Leonard Looked Like Mike in the playoffs wit the Raptors
Dame had the most efficient 60 and 70 point game and on top of that the greatest shooting performance ever (55 vs denver). It is easily Dame, Dame had a whole team including the coaching staff annoyed
Being hot is not only about putting the ball into the basket, Curry when hot will do it all on offense
I disagree when someone dishing 7 consecutive assists I don't think "damn he's hot rn" but when someone even hits 3 shots in a row I think they heating up. Talking about how hot someone can get is different from who's better
you know damn well when Curry is hot he does not throw regular assist, the court becomes the cirque du soleil, he starts dancing, trolling, letting the crowd know he's on fire, even the team mates on the court becomes on fire when he is.
Wut? Is your brain getting fd by stupid?
Klay by far is the most dangerous basketball player when hot.
What everyone forgets is that every other player can be defended because it takes longer for those players to get their shots off. Play is the best catch and shoot person on this list and he’ll be the most dangerous. What makes Klay Thompson even more dangerous is that he has the second most dangerous player on the same team.
Steph got 9 or more threes in a game like 30 something times, the next closest player has done it like 6 times.
But Klay has the most 3s in a game period. We not talking bout who's better but who's harder to stop when scorching hot
Steph has also been criticized for not being clutch, and honestly, even when he "carried" them on the 2022 championship, he didn't actually play especially well in the finals. Klay still has the record of most 3s in a game to this day since 2018. This is with dudes last season scoring 70 several times.

@@OhGeeGanksta31.2 ppg in the finals while only scoring 16 in game 5 is somehow 'didn't play especially well' 😂😂🤦♂️
@@judyclarkson5887 I'll admit when I'm wrong. My bad, I meant in the Conference and Semi-Finals. Hence pundits were saying it was a toss up for finals MVP between Steph and Wiggins. Redeemed/saved himself during the finals, if not, it'd be another season with Steph not being clutch.
“…I had 27 free throws” -Gilbert Arenas
💯💯💯
Much respect for that candor
Klay 60pts in 11 dribbles every time but this man went 100% shooting and 37pts in a quarter. Didn’t miss a shot. Like how else do you measure getting hot.
Same dude went for 11 threes in an elimination game. Red hot Klay ☄️☄️☄️.
He’s Klay for a reason and that reason is hotness.
Rashad's right though. When them guys passes half, they're already a threat. I thought they brought back the jordan rules for steph 😅
(Never played ball after high school) But I think if Damian was on a good team those games where he gets hot and scores 40-60 points he would win. Like if his team was good it would be easy. My list from those 4 are Dame 1, Steff 2, Klay a very close 3rd, and Mello 4. I was also pretty young when Mello was in his prime so I don't have the best perspective on that.
His momma called him Klay… The question as phrased can’t be debated. Klay did it, does it best. The other Gs are a collection of snipers, gunners who will cut you down in the lane if need be. Klay? Shddd. Two to the dome. It’s over.
Curry made his team good but Damian has to be on a good team. Should be all you need to know.
@@deeharp Lmfao, yeah, made Klay and Draymond and KD good. God, that must be hard to make HOF look good. Can we have a look with how Curry would make Ant, Nurk, Grant (for 1 year), and CJ look good? I bet Magic had to work to make Kareem to look good too?
james harden 😅
@@OhGeeGankstalmfao relax bro
Steph for sure. Not to many players can get hot and have both their own home crowd behind them as well as the opponents crowd when on the road. Creating a major psychological advantage.
I’ve seen interview after interview of players relenting how difficult it is to guard Steph on a regular night whether he’s hot or not .. just from his continuous movement . You fatigue faster with Steph whether he’s on fire or not
Klay has a nasty fire streak, but Steph just makes you want to quit the damn game because he's shooting at such a rediculous clip from everywhere that you DON'T want someone to shoot from. I remember how helpless you felt as a team when Steph was going bananas. And because 3>2 you gotta play catch up
Yeah Curry can demoralize you far better but at their best Klay is the most like a machine
Its Dame no question, he got the most 50, 60, 70 points game, and when hot is shooting from midcourt.
Klay need someone to give him the ball and find his spot.
This is not even a question...
thats what im saying idek why this is so hard
I’m trying to tell u these ppl be hating on dame shit crazy
Who is this woman? And it's Klay (37 in one quarter....that's Dangerous).
Bro said Monte Ellis can do everything Dame can 🤣
Yea he was hating on Dame with that statement 😂. I like Monte but he’s nowhere near the caliber of player that Dame is. It’s a reason Dame made that Top 75 all time list!
Everything he listed that Dame can do, Steph can literally do too and in most case better 😂
Wrong. Dame is a much better shooter from +30ft. Steph is around 20% and Dame hits over 35% and hits more than double that Curry does. Look it up.
@@vinnyb7953Dame just a better foul-getters. That's where the difference of points comes from. Plus Steph won 2 scoring champ. Dame zero still.
@@vinnyb7953and Steph can still do more then Dame
@@vinnyb7953 u clearly didn't read it, I said most. And we don't see Dame doing that in WCF and Finals. But that being said, u would rather have Dame shooting ur 3s or Curry? Lol
@@hoodyfrog7036 Depends. During the majority of the game, or during clutch situations. Also, beyond 32 ft or closer than?
Steph. He reminds me of when Mike would get rolling, the other team looks helpless and you can feel it.
You can literally see the fear in their eyes. No matter what kind of shot, he takes, you think it's going on even when he's not hot. So imagine when he's hot. It's scary
Brandon Jennings answering his own question 😂😂
Dude is a crybaby frfr he just likes to him his self talk at this point Lmaooo
Nfs in this ep he was type annoying. Plus he was acting real forgetful of the nights Melo legit demoralized his bucks teams too lol
@@nuketrebien2747 yea melo did but the thing with melo he was never consistent at all
really do not like listening to him. He never makes any sense and always contradicts himself.
Can't believe Steph is part of that conversation
Gil really fighting for Klay, I mean 37 a Quarter, no dribbles needed, 60 piece in 29 minutes. 10 straight 3's and 13/13 FG.
I'll pick Klay too then Steph.
You're hot when you make it rain. Who does that better than the Splash Bros!
Melo, he dropped 50pts all jumpshots🔥
That Heat game was a thing of beauty.
🙄
Brandon Jennings being one of the only pgs to get the best of Steph at certain points in time and telling y’all he’s the hottest holds more weight to me that’s just my opinion. Like he said I’m not scared of someone getting hot and losing part of the “fear” that you get from guarding someone hot is that u fear they’re going to comeback and the correct answer is Steph.
Facts
100 when Steph gets hot your scared
Plenty pgs have gotten best of Steph wtf lol
