Steph had that MJ look in his eyes
Nice
Good
very nice
👍
nice
Down 2-0, no draymond for game 3, and the team has been terrible on the road all year but wins on the road in game 7 and he finished with 50 pts, the most ever. He drove the bus. Legend
All the stories coming out about his pregame speech on top of that..... Legendary performance by one of the greatest to ever do it. I'm so pumped for this series vs the LBJ's Lakers.
Wins 2 road games. Post season and regular season is two different things.
He drove the bus? 😂
@@Raumance metaphor about the long road to a championship and how kd was never a bus driver but a passenger enjoying the ride and curry is the one driving the warriors to the chip. (Not a kd hater I’m just using the example of the analogy that I heard from Charles Barkley, I respect all nba players in they own way)
@@shelovesjuannn1702 Omg dude it goes so much deeper than I thought. 😂HE DRIVING THE BUS!!!
JJ said it perfectly. Curry is one of the GOATs without a doubt, but god damn is he an amazing entertainer. His villain energy, chatter and celebrations are unmatched. And no one ever gets mad cause they all know he’s that DUDE
Oh I get mad. I get reeeeal mad. But yea he’s that dude lol. Scared for my lakers
He's that dude? Which dude? Please elaborate.
@@GeronimoPlaz he’s THAT dude
@@GeronimoPlaz You must be fun at parties 🙄
@@GeronimoPlaz he's "HIM".
God tier basketball Superstar, only been few of those.
"MJ, LeBron, Larry Bird, Kobe, Steph".
The ones who talk a tall game then turn around to match it every bit, every time.
Always brings me back to Kobe's comments on steph - paraphrasing "he's got a calmness ... he's just there, and that's dangerous"
Every time I swear I think of Kobe's words!!! 🤷🏾♀He loved the Warriors, when he said "I get a kick out of watching Golden State play" and his smile after he said it, that alone spoke volumes as to how much he was a fan because Kobe really didn't give a💩about anything but he loved the game of basketball so he knew what he was witnessing was next level😭😭😭I know he's watching everything and smiling from ear to ear just like he did in that interview😢 I seen a comment on a post that said "Jayson Tatum was texting Kobe's phone during the finals but he was on the other line with Steph😂😂😂💀
Curry shredding these young guns at 35. Incredible talent and competitor.
It was a damn massacre 😭😭😭
ok
ok
Steph is not a “showman first.” The entertainment is a byproduct of his sheer basketball greatness. He’s a complete original and a winner first. Everything else is secondary.
Love the great comment 👏
Precisely. Even the smile is intentional. He said it himself. It's all about winning, everything else is secondary.
ok
Facts!!
ok
The Kings and the Grizzlies both woke up 2 absolute monsters who are going to clash in this next series. As long as everyone stays healthy, it’s gonna be another hardwood classic.
They weren't ever sleep
@@Brandon-mg8wxwith Kawhi out there it was back and forth like that
Luckily for JJ the refs entirely switched up after he whined and complained after game 2. Never heard a man cry like that about such fair reffing. Steph was allowed to push off and get any ticky tack touch foul he wanted, literally laughing at the free throw line. Thanks JJ!
I’m going to get hate by saying this, but Lebron is not the best player in the Memphis series. Every game someone stepped up, I would say AD is the best player on the lakers team right now.
I feel like this series might get more eyes on it than the finals
You can sometimes see it in steph's eyes and his demeanor. He's smiling and shaking his head and that calmness in his eyes, that no matter what, he is not going to let his team lose.
I seen that yesterday for sure
It’s crazy but that’s what kobe was talking about the older steph gets the more it shows he really does have the mamba mentality
i feel like no disrespect to how well the kings played but I think Steph knew he stole their spirit when i saw him playing with his mouth guard out and smiling during the 4th quarter.
That's why he's the baby faced assassin!
Kobe called it him and klay seem soft and nice but they are stone cold killers
Steph had that MJ look in his eyes, man is an absolute psychopath. He refused to let his team lose.
@Tyler Holt you misunderstand the difference between refusing to lose and refusing to let your team lose. If the warriors lost tonight 0% of that loss would be on Steph's shoulders, hence he didn't "let" his team lose. His team would have lost in spite of his performance.
"They (Klay and Steph) kinda seem like unassuming, nice guys, those are stone cold killers man" - Kobe
Steph was a titan in this game, but also credit to Kevon who was Atlas with those rebounds. Big game! Big shots!
@Tyler Holt Nah he understood me correctly. I am a basketball fan and I can appreciate when a player wills their team to victory, it's really not that deep.
@@hermy5086 his performance was based on his team performance. Those looney rebounds helped him tremendously. If they lost it’s on all of them because it’s a team sport bud
People forget that it requires so much more skill to play the game at that level being Steph’s size. He doesn’t have the size to go through anyone like Lebron does or the height to rise up and shoot over people people like KD, or even Kobe. It takes a lot more skill and craftiness to score like that consistently. And what he’s doing now is even more impressive than when he first got his mvp’s because every single teams entire defensive plan is centered around him now.
🧢
@@figo007tv How is anything he said untrue or do you just hate to hate??? Your favorite team's coach writes the entire defense around Curry. It's not an opinion.
Thats definitely something I don't think about enough. He plays much bigger than he is. I love how strong he's gotten the last couple years. He's only a little above 6 feet but he's thick now.
I agree with everything except the defense thing. He's always been the focal point of defenses. What he is doing now is more impressive, though, because he is a killer in the clutch and can just dominate a game like no one else in the league right now
@@matin7983 Learn to ignore trolls like Rudy D.
Steph has been doing this since college. His performance in the NCAA tournament and how he willed his team through the tournament as underdogs while entertaining the masses was different and reminiscent of how he continues to do it now.
Facts
Kevon Looney, undoubtedly saved the season for the Warriors, the offensive rebounds that allowed them to get multiple shots. Scary that the Warriors are still not fully playing up to their potential yet with Poole and Klay missing everything. Excited to see what happens between LBJ and Steph, hopefully we get a series with no injuries!
Trade Poole for frontcourt depth !!!
@@DanielTorres-pw8il Poole has been a serious disappointment. Perhaps it's the big contract. Perhaps it's the thing with Draymond. But I kind of feel like he's going in the wrong direction, and it would be a shame if he doesn't maximize his potential. I thought that being able to watch Steph for four or five years would only put him in a better place, but he is really regressing.
@@jeffvanderwerf3391 for sure, hopefully he can step up and be consistent. he’s still pretty young so hopefully he can learn from steph and be consistent.
@@jeffvanderwerf3391 He still has a lot of room to grow. Give him time. He's really young still and a lot of his issues can be improved. Curry and Thompson used to be annoying af to watch back then cause they were TO prone. Swear Curry had 5+ TOs a game and Thompson couldn't dribble to save his life. Curry also couldn't play defense but last couple years he's been pretty great. But most of all, Poole needs to be humbled cause he's been spoon fed since being drafted tbh.
@@imadubsfan1 Your last sentence is right on point. He has had the advantage of being part of the one of the best organizations in professional sports, as well as a back up one of the best role models in sports, has already won a championship, and has a handsome $125M+ contract. Not that he hasn't worked hard to get where he is, but he really got fortunate in a lot of ways.
His potential is Curry-esque, but I think that things have come much easier to him than they had for Steph, so the motivation may not be as pressing.
what I noticed about Steph that doesnt really get talked about, is just how much FUN he seemed to be having. It was like he was playing at the playground
He remembers, at the end of the day, it’s a game. A game he wants to win mind you, but a game none the less.
50 points with just 3 free throws Godlike💙💪
Was hilarious when he lit the beam 😂. Steph will be all respect and wholesomeness off the court but when he gets hot on the court he doesn’t hold back and I love it. Him lighting the beam is just one of those icy cold moments like when he put Boston to sleep then pointed at his ring finger.
Ngl kings players should’ve slapped him
@@sparks1792 Kings players should had played harder and won the game.
@@BeastMode-gv3ng that’s true changes nothing about what I said
Also end of game 6 vs okc where he walks off court holding up 7 fingers to the crowd 😂 legend
@@sparks1792 Nah, it's pure respect from professionals who realize they in the presence of greatness. At the end of the day it's just a game.
Fox and Monk at the press conference were saying how Steph is one of the all time great and amazing.
Man watching JJ talk about basketball you can really see he actually loves the sport. Beautiful.
Yeah especially when he went on national tv and said NBA was rigging the series for the Kings to win
I always believed in Stephs ability to step up and carry his team
Yup, he been doing it since Davidson
“ability to steph up and curry his team” 😆
yet they continue to claim he couldn’t have won sh*t without KD, like foh he’s a LEADER, a GOAT in his own lane, period. All without that convenient height and width span.
@@brooklyncurrys nuggets dogging out suns because KD does not have it so easy without to the spacing of Steph. He thought he could win a chip without Curry
@@demetav3507 that’s a really good point
Steph has to be on the Mount Rushmore when it’s all said and done. Revolutionized the game as a skinny overlooked kid from Davidson. This series is about to be insane.
You gotta give steph and looney their props but I haven’t heard anyone mention the warriors held the leagues best offense to 100 points on their home court. Gotta give some credit to draymond, Wiggins and gp2 for the defense showing up.
Everybody is missing the point of why Steph is the way he is. Well multiple things; there's the up bringing. his parents raised him well. Going through high school being rejected by here and there, that taught him humility, and some fans might think he is the greatest, he himself enjoys the moment, embraces everything. All the stats might be important to some to define what type of player he is, but I think most of all, Steph doesn't take anything for granted in his life.
Not taking anything for granted definetelly
11 pts. n 21 rebs looney is a #beast .....
looney always plays his heart out👌
Everyone’s gonna talk about Steph, but I wanna remind y’all that it was Looney keeping the Dubs alive when things were starting to go south for them. Without the countless possessions he gave Golden State, they might have never recovered from that first half
Looney was a monster this whole series. I hope he starts getting paid more
@@gitpusher2400 Board man gets paid
Agreed, definition of not giving up, fighting every rebound.
No one talks about how much Steph’s defense has improved as well
Steph is the most exciting player to watch in the nba
Kings gave it there all but man, curry is on another level in the playoffs 💯
Championship pedigree kicks in ..curry is that guy he's been against the wall before. He showed up and delivered like a Star should ...kings gonna be scary for the coming years
Whole lotta greatness we just witnessed
Steph just showing once again he the best PG ever
Best player ever*
Everyone alive all agrees , that they've never seen someone like Steph ever. That equals greatest ever
Kobe was so right about Steph's deadly calmness. Bro was smiling and shaking his like a mad man
You could see for the whole of the 4th, the Kings just looked gassed. If you play a whole quarter with 3 defensive possessions for each offensive one, it's going to take a toll, especially against a team that moves as much as the Warriors. It's an underrated part of the Dubs game, how easily they can tire out the opponent, and that's why those boards from Looney were so important even with all the missed FTs
YEP. THEY ARE NOTORIOUS FOR ROPA DOPING TEAMS
Golden State broke Sacramento's will ON THE GLASS (of all places) in the 3Q. they had nothing left after that.
I don't think they were gassed. They couldn't handle the moment, they couldn't hit a shot. Barnes and Heurter were awful the entire series. Once Fox was injured, he was extremely inconsistent. You're not going to beat the Warriors when those three are providing so little
Steph Curry went Ultra Instinct last night. SC’s consciousness separated from his body, hence, the divine handles and shooting skillz. I think Steph knew in that moment (ie., smiling, arms pumpin, etc) that he was on a different level. 🔥🔥🔥
I believe Steph had shot around 20 shots by halftime. He knew if they were going to win, it would be because he carried them to victory. He made sure there were no bullets left in the chamber when he was done shooting lol
He needs to shoot 30 times more often 😂
@@theavatar9191 lol don’t want to wear him down, but as a fan I’d love to see his PPG on 30 shots a game haha
@@anthonysykes1749 Would be video game numbers
Unreal performance from Steph, best individual game I’ve ever seen
I’ve never seen Steph ask for the ball like that. He needed that 50 burger. Gave me Kobe vibes. “Just give me the ball”
JJ…”watching” the game on tv caused a visceral reaction. I literally got the chills. I can only imagine those in attendance had to have experienced something out of this world.
DubNation, we are so lucky to witness this point in time.
Let’s not forget…he does it with joy. It is truly remarkable.
GO DUBS. 💙💛
Love or hate him, definitely no doubt he’s best show in basketball rn
It must be said.
Watching the excitement in JJs voice talking basketball makes you appreciate the words more. It’s not lifeless analysis, it’s genuine admiration.
Hands down Stephs greatest series. Game 7 hands down Steph’s greatest Game
Klay also had a huge impact on the game, even with a poor shooting night. He had the highest plus-minus of anyone.
He did but people get caught up in him missing shots because he's Klay Thompson but yet he still had a huge impact on the game, Wiggins as well.
Defense obviously is huge. Klay is back healthy, playing great D.
Klay us streaky, love him to death, but he has to hit shots
Yes that's why if they can't give a lot points but help other way which is his defense
That's why +/- and advance stats are so incredibly overrated. Klay did not have a huge impact on that game whatsoever.
Looney was very vital throughout the series. Having the best shooter ever having a guy on the block that will get every rebound emphasizes the ultimate green light giving Curry and co even more confidence to shoot threes knowing Kevon is down low to give them extra chances. Looney has been playing with these shooters for so long it seems he is always in the right spot knowing exactly where the misses will be from each shooter on the team it is remarkable.
When he was smiling at the FT line I knew warriors weren’t losing that look he gets is scaryyyy like last year against Boston smiling on the bench while they lost he’s cuhhrrazzzyy!
Psycho Steph
I theory i’ve had on how Steph breaks teams will is how he able to shoot at anytime. Teams must stay focused at all times of he will hit a 3 and that causes mental fatigue. He tends to make the shot that breaks teams, the Kings go on a short run and be immediately hits a 3 it is hard to contend with for an entire game or series.
JJ Redick said everything needed to be said.
Steph woke up when he missed those back to back free throws 😊
Folks get fooled by his all American smile and soft spoken demeanor but Steph is a killer bro
Yep, which the late Kobe described him as, when he was asked who he felt may come close to his mamba mentality. He mentioned both Steph and Klay.
#babyfacekiller
The other great thing about Looney is that he is still in his 20s. It gets lost when people thought Wiseman would be his replacement but Looney was young too. Shout out to Loon the young Vet.
Sadly, he lost his altelitism after the hip surgery
@@emilytee4743 right!!!, he was nice. still a dawg tho on the low
@@emilytee4743 do you mean wiseman or looney? Who had the surgery
@@minovictor looney
JJ Redick is the only person in NBA that speaks facts and real commentary. Thank you JJ Redick!!
Steph doing Steph things. Credit the Kings for bringing that out of him though they played their hearts out.
Curry is blessed and talented!! Point blank period!
JJ's rundown of the shots made, the keenly painted descriptions, the diverse shots themselves...it's a painting of the player. It's a description of his greatness...a video game player transformed into a human. I loved listening to this rundown. JJ's so so good at this and it's a fan's delight.
Steph scored at least 10 Points in all 4 quarters. This guy was about his business 😤🔥
That was an amazing Series and thanks for breaking it down. Also, I'm so stoked that GPll is there, he also played great in G7
So stoked when GP2 came back. Yes it took him a while to recover after the blazers messed him up, but damn. 4 blocks as a 6'2" for the Warriors. Not to mention all the uncounted defensive efforts. Kings team had a total of 5 blocks and GP2 had 4 alone. 🔥🔥🔥
The recap of Steph's shots was perfect in order to visualize them again, amazing 👍🏽
The only person I looked forward to hearing after yesterday night. Keep up the good work JJ
Exactly! lol
Kings deserve alot of credit. Such a young team pushed everyone on the Warriors to their absolute best to beat them.
Gonna start callin JJ the Florist because he loves to give out flowers 🌸
Wiggins, Klay, Poole struggled shooting wise but it didn't matter because Steph carried them again
They did other things ,when you can't shoot you can rebound, defend, steal, block whatever it takes. Go back and check Dear what they did. Or go listen to Dray you will get it.❤❤
Looney also
Him lighting the beam had me fist pumping the air in my living room😅
he really is a pleasure to watch...no other way to describe it other than pleasurable...
In a world full of Skips, Cowherds, Stephen A's and Perks, be a JJ. Redick.
Last few months its been round 2 Celtics v 76ers that everyone has been excited for and now not only do we have the round 2 match up we also have LAKERS V WARRIORS, LeBron v Curry, the best 2 players of this generation go head 2 head 1 more time .. i absolutely love it
Been waiting to hear from JJ since yesterday. Love the way he lays out the play and personalities of these players! Keep it up!
I personally believe Steph is the most spectacular player in the league and top 10 all time. I got him 2nd PG GOAT all time
Who you got at number one?
Just wondering why you would take Magic, someone who could not stretch the floor over the greatest offensive weapon the league has ever seen?
@@ggonzales4287 I appreciate Steph’s unique ability to space the floor and score from anywhere, his leadership and everything else. But I personally would rather take Magic’s GOAT playmaking, his size, ability to play any position, rebound etc. I think Magic is also just as good a leader
@@gitpusher2400 Magic 🪄
@jesisghimire7216 I respect your opinion, but if we are playing in the modern era, the easy answer is Steph. I would take floor spacing and the defense always having to attack the 3 point shot with Steph over Magic, who would be given the Ben Simmons, Draymond treatment on defense with his 3 point shooting
JJ naming off all of those pts made by Steph is classic. Steph gives teams a different look every time he has the ball in hands or off ball. This is a first for sure, of all of what I've seen in basketball. Not even sure if this will happen again in a while. Enjoy Steph play everyone.
Been waiting for this!!!
This performance is 🐐 status
Add this game to list of great curry games in the playoffs
Finally!! Been waiting for this all morning… Knew JJ would come through ❤
JJ’s prep about this series, and his knowledge and understanding of competition is incredible.
Yasss! I've been waiting for JJ's commentary. He's definitely a sicko!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
The Kings are who the Grizzlies think they are!! Hats off to them young boys! Bright future ahead!
Jj way better nba analysis then skip and Big perk put together
These pods are exactly what I need during the playoffs. No where else will you get this type of commentary. Love it
I want a Heat vs Warriors finals. One can wish.
World ain't ready for that.
A 50-piece in game 7?
I’m lovin it lol
I've been waiting all day to hear JJ's opinion on this. He is probably the most knowledgeable, well-spoken basketball expert we have today.
💯
i love the effort that JJ puts into these podcasts and analysis which tells me he really loves the game and knows the game!!
The defensive work put in my GP2 was great. The block on the 3 pointer! The steals!
It was so demoralizing to watch Steph do anything he wanted. One of the greatest individual efforts I've ever seen in sports. Combined with Kevon's offensive rebounds it was absolutely back breaking. The Kings had such a special season and the fans were so optimistic after game 2 but game 7 was a nightmare wake up call to just how far they have to go to be anywhere close to contending for a title.
Telling any HOF they are getting old is a guaranteed recipe to rejuvenate them a good 3 yrs for the duration of the whooping.
The Force is strong with Steph!
love ya'll this show is awesome JJ plz keep it going n much love always from Detroit ....
Steph isn’t a point guard in the way magic Johnson was, but he’s never been a pass first point guard. Steph Curry controls the pace of the game with his off-ball movement and has underrated handles.
That is what makes him better, if he did what Magic did he would not be great.
Yes, he’s 6’2” out here doing things. I think all the top 10 lists are tall players. Not a one is Steph sized..
Remember when a few year media was saying that james harden was better? Or thay tray young was a better version of curry? I really hope all the media shut up now, lets just enjoy his greatness
His dog pulling up is hilarious
Love jj as a player and as a basketball commentator/analyst 💗
i didnt even think about it til JJ brought it up. Steph probably scored in every way you possibly can last night maybe except for a dunk. 😂 legend
The light the beam!!!! Curry a villain man! 😂
With the speech he gave and this historical performance, the warriors documentary will about to be insane, ngl would be so hyped if it’s similar to the last dance
JJ is a student & teacher of the game! Love the podcast 🔥
I knew he was special when I saw him play in college.
One of the main reasons why Warriors didn't have a lot of turnovers was because Steph decided he was gonna isolate more. Not a lot of passes to be stolen and misreads on cuts - just Steph handling the ball and getting screens.
Love listening to you JJ
Stephen A Smith: I've known Steph Curry for a very long, we're actually best friends.
Lmao 😂😂😂
The difference in having a superstar in your team vs a great team that lacks a superstar is crazy.
That’s why the suns traded bridges. They didn’t want to, but what KD brings is another level even though he’s barely keeping it together now
Another stellar episode, good sirs. Better than anything on BSpn or Undisputed.
Was hoping that JJ would catch what every other commentator has missed: that while Steph was putting up 50, he was absolutely dynamic on the defensive end in the second half also. He was all over ballhandlers, and playing great team defense in passing lanes, too. He led the pressure the Warriors D put on.
Steph will solidify himself in the top 5 player of all time when its all said and done. It’s inevitable
We really don’t understand what we’re witnessing Wardell different!!!
JJ is the ONE GUY I wanted to hear from!! So glad ur speaking YOUR TRUTH brother!
So downright true. The shrill excitement everyone felt everytime he took those fancy shots. That alone is a thrill to watch.
But JJ's no look giving love/pets/scratches to his dog tho! 🐶👋🥰🤌 @8:33
