Hey everyone! We're testing out this concept as a new series. Let us know what you think of it and what games you'd want to see going forward. Thanks!
Klay game 6 Okc
This is a great idea! 2013 Game 6 Heat-Spurs.
Pacers/Knicks - Game 5 of the 1994 ECF - Reggie chokes out Spike
This is a fantastic idea! Can we get some Kevin Garnett? T Mac?
i like it and i say blazers/nuggets 4 OT playoff game
34 full minutes of watching classic games with Ben on the NBA official channel?! I WANT MORE!!!
Fr where is the 2.5 hr super cut it this
The moment Steph changed basketball forever. The moment Steph became the Greatest Shooter Of All Time. The moment KD wants to join the Warriors.
I’m pretty sure KD was still “on” the Thunder until the playoffs. I think after that dude realised it’s too risky to rely on your team to put good pieces around you
Man, as a Golden State fan, rewatching a game like this, makes me VERY appreciative of just how pivotal Igoudala was for this GS team. Miss the hell outta that guy.
That’s so funny Jason, I was talking to Andre the other day and he mentioned how much he missed you. He was actually pretty broken up about it and said his life has been quite grey without your light in his life.
People in a few years won’t understand how much Steph changed. Because every team and PG copies him now. Nobody was taking deep 3’s, fast break 3’s. Championship teams HAD to have a dominate big man. “Jump shooting teams don’t win championships”. Steph changed everything
Completely disagree on the feeling that teams HAD to have a dominate big man at this time. This was the era of the swingman, not the big man. You’re thinking more of the 2000s. At this point in time, the “championship” players were all 2-3s and the good men were just defensive anchors. The top tier big men today have more of an impact on their teams then the good big men had back then.
Also Dame was there shooting the deep 3 too. Just on a smaller market team so he didn't get the same recognition for it until later.
@@Juneth-ou7rebut bigs that shoot 3s tho
@thenorthremembers728 it wasn't just that he was on a smaller market team, but he also wasn't as good at it... (or anything else for that matter).
Just a correction.....
It's 'dominant', not 'dominate'. Dominant is an adjective, while dominate is a verb.
I see this mistake way too much on the internet.
Also, the three point revolution predates Steph. He accelerated it for sure, but the Rockets in the 90s, the 7SOL Suns, the 2009 Magic and the Morey Rockets were already showing the world the direction basketball was heading towards.
This game of Steph still looks unbelievable from every aspect.. the shot making, the quickness, the clutchness, the dribbling, the space.. everything
I was thinking imagine 2016 curry with 2021-22 curry’s strength and skills dude is unstoppable
Really wanted to see 21 Curry in a playoff run. Sucks
Might be the best player in the league. He's already top 3 as he is now, in my opinion.
@@macxavier168 curry is neither top 3 rn nor all time im a curry fan but he is lucky if rn we consider him top 10 all time and top 7 rn
@@Michiiigring I don't have him top 3 all time; I have him 7th. But you're crazy if you have him outside your top 5 when it comes to current players.
Love these. So many good games for you to review
Look at prime Klay Thompson, missed look after look from 3, but kept scoring with movement and playing excellent defense on Westbrook until the lid came off the basket for him. Dude was special.
5:50 they called Livingston the 'Run Killer' at the time. Maybe not the best player on the floor, but his ability to just get a bucket when the team had nothing going was uncanny. So many comebacks started with a quick two from him.
2016 was a special season
BANG !!! BANGGGG !!! OH WHAT A SHOT FROM CURRY !!!
Good times man 🥲 if you never watched this game live you missed a once in a lifetime moment .
One of the best regular season games I’ve ever seen. Solidified Curry as one of the GOATs. Great work from Ben as always.
Steph Curry's 2016 Season Was Incredible
those same shots bricked when it mattered the most
@@ryankayombya7576 True. I'd argue he was injured and tired. But man he was playing shit.
Bang! Bang! Oh what a shot by Curry!
It’s not even that he shoots it from so far out. Today people do that more commonly. But he does it moving forward off the dribble. He’s just insane
It's also the angle he shoots it from. Curry hit and made a lot of shots from the logo--as do Lillard and some others--but those deep logo shots are almost always straight on.
Even given the distance, lots of players shoot buzzer beaters or practice/goof around with deep shots from the top of the key. NOBODY shoots from out there. Not in games, not in practice.
From straight on the line of sight is cleaner, you have the backboard to work with, and your body motion is taking you straight at the hoop. The "elbow" 3's are always the lowest percentage makes (compared to the top of key or corner shots). Curry is dribbling down the court with his momentum leading outside the key, he's not square with the backboard, and he can't easily use the glass if it goes a little long long, And he does THAT. Insane.
This was the night Steph officially became the greatest shooter of all time
Nah the the Knicks game when he scored 54
Knicks game 54 on shumps head haha
@@nima451 Nah. That was too early. That's just when he put the league on notice. This was the game where he told everyone he was changing the whole game forever.
Ben Taylor the 🐐
This was awesome. And I agree. This game is really when 3pt shooting changed in the NBA. No one was constantly pulling up for 3’s 5ft behind the 3pt line till this game. I also want to point out how great a coaching staff the warriors had. That’s really important when games are this tight and both sides are full of talent. Calling the right play, getting the right personal on the floor is so important and I don’t think the warriors at that time get enough credit for their coaching staff.
I remember watching this game!! OMG it was intense and when Curry made that shot, I was like jumping all over my couch and shouting!!!!
GSW defense was amazing back then
Yep people forget how amazing Klay was on defense. Dude was incredible on ball defender
What a nice video to wake up to as a Thunder Fan NBA 😊🫥
Every team has been there bro, nothing to be sad about
Unanimous MVP Steph was unstoppable
Watching these highlights made me remember why I couldn’t stand Harrison Barnes when he was with us
Bravo, NBA for partnering with Thinking Basketball! This is great content.
Crazy watching Barnes and Verjao smoke easy looks from Steph lol
This just reminded me how scary the Steph + Klay + Dray during their prime! Definitely feared during that time!! Give us more, Ben @ThinkingBasketball!!! GREAT WORK AS USUAL
This was great. Really accessible and informative. Excited for the next one
Love the content, would love to see more of this series.
Wow everyone looks so young. Appreciate them while you can.
Love these videos man please keep making them
Love to these Ben. Quality from the GOAT of basketball TH-cam
Thinking Basketball, so glad to see you working with the NBA. Love the content you provide
please do more of this, absolutely great!
I adore this type of conent, bring back Ben for more!!
Ben Taylor commenting over this game is like a dream come true. I can still remember exactly where I was when I watched this game live. That shot is like a formative moment for me hahaha
I love these watch alongs
Need more of this!!
This series gives a great perspective into these iconic moments in NBA history. I really enjoy this concept!
Great breakdown Ben!
I remember watching this in my living room pacing back in forth the whole game. What a nail biter
love this guy
We need more of this than just highlights.
Loved this
This will forever remain my favorite Curry game
What a game. And I like this concept
wow i loved this
this is my favorite style of video
More of these pls
More Thinking Basketball content please!!
Shaun Livingston was such a great role player. Besides Steph and Klay he was probably the most fun to watch offensively for the warriors. Anyways this is the game that made Steph my favorite player of all time and i love your review on this man
Holy crap both sides defense is so freaking good!
Steph da goat
You just had to watch it live, it was a masterpiece
the thing i think helped the GSW was Shaun Livingston being the complete opposite to curry being a tall mid range PG kinda throw off a lot of Def cause when they would sub for each other you would have to change your D up so much
Best regular season game ever. The stuff of dreams.
As a Dubs fan, I still have no idea how Iguodala made both FTs to send it to OT
I think I remember a Celtics game during this season where it came down to Iguodala FTs too lol. I felt like we could always count on him to hit the 3, but not to hit FTs 😂
Because he's clutch.
Don't ever forget that with the fate of the universe on the line and the Martians pointing the death beam at Earth, Iggy is making the shot.
Ask Kellerman
I remember watching this game!As an OKC fan it’s still burned in my memory. PTSD😂
Please never stop posting these
Watching this back, I'm astounded at how many layups the warriors missed in the 4th quarter and OT.
The moment Steph joined the GOAT conversation
Under 20 mins🔥🔥!
Holy banger
Ben was officially hired haha, gonna make me subscribe here, damn
I can confirm that shot was indeed nuts
Love nba
people don't talk enough about how cold those game tying free throws from Dre were, considering the circumstance
Draymond Green's statline of 2 pts, 14 reb, 16 ast 6 stl and 4 blk were insane
Steph is the GOAT. 🐐
Bang!
WE NEED LEBRON GAME 6 2012 vs Celtics, BEN TAYLOR IS THE BEST
6:38 oh Steph curry almost hit a half court shot I wonder if that will come up later in the video
I've heard this dude's voice for so long but this is my first time seeing what he looks like 😂😂😂😂😂😂
More!
🔥🔥🔥
Hey Ben, could you do Lebron’s game 5 2007 vs Pistons? That would be great!
Goat
Yup!
if a time machine is invented the first place i'm going is 27.02.2016 to OKC to watch this in person.
the reason why i like you, is bc you dont have any biases, or very little at least. Watching bball breakdown seems like a russ piece every time i watched analysis during these seasons.
That's one of the reason I stopped watching bball breakdown. That and him bringing in Ronnie Nunn repeatedly
Curry changed the game. Something LBJ can't say he did.
You've got to do Boston game 4 2022 NBA finals!
20:22 "Thats a horrible shot" from the commentator in the background :)))))
March Jackson, he cocked the warriors for the first couple years of curry’s career
This or the gsw vs cavs 2016 christmas game is the greatest regular season game ever.
Oh wow, two unstoppable adds. Y'all are pushing the limit.
2022 Championships ran of StephCurry
25:35 Coach Mark in the making!
Crazy the amount of missed open lays in this game
I watched this live and I'm a massive curry fan but I have to agree that when OT starts they should get an extra foul. KD needs to play more passive there but still. I have to say if he doesn't foul out there, the warriors might have lost that game and not set the record for wins in a season.
I remember my reaction at the time watching this game live. Wait, no, what the fuck! Is he nuts? Then, BANG, are you shitting me?
Games like this made me genuinely question how OKC were contenders year in and year out
They had 2 MVP caliber players on their roster? OKC was a top 3 team in the west for like 5 years.
@@AliMohamed-yq4wnTo follow up, they also had a lot of length and athleticism. Roberson was a great defender and Ibaka was a fantastic rim protector
Kds shot making and westbrooks athleticism made up for a lot of the offensive deficiencies this team had.
34:00 what are you talking about... fate of the universe on the line we know who we want
26:24 that pass wasn't meant for Steph. Didn't think you'd miss it,
Ain’t it weird people said many times after 2016 that Steph couldn’t create his own shot off the dribble back then? Even Draymond. I’m sure Klutch & Nike have nothing to do with these obvious lies.
Ben really look like peter b parker
D-Rose 50 point game with Minnesota
draymond is DPOY material
dROSE for cp3 GSW pls
"God can't give us peace and happiness apart from Himself because there is no such thing." CS Lewis
I still think he managed to be BETTER in the 2020s than he was in the unanimous MVP season.
In the playoffs, yes, but in the regular season no.
His 2016 season was just unmatched. He was on fire from game 1
@@brianduru3753 you're right. But what he did in the 2020/21 regular season was AWESOME.
@@dgsvitoria That's true.
But two things put the 2016 season ahead of 2021 for me.
The first is games played. 63 vs 79. I know it was a shortened season, but playing 16 more games and maintaining efficiency is ridiculously impressive.
And the second is the efficiency relative to the league. His relative true shooting percentage was like 12 points higher than the league average in 2016, which is just bonkers. He led the league in scoring AND efficiency. That isn't supposed to happen; not from anybody, much less a 6'3 guard.
@@brianduru3753 i'm 100% with you. 2016 Curry wasn't supposed to be possible. Greatest offensive season ever.
Go Warriors, Go Curry forever!!! ⚡️✨💫
unanimous MVP was locked after this game
