Stephen Curry is the toughest NBA player to guard. People forget about Steph Curry and the impact his shooting ability has in the NBA. Kobe even said that Curry was the toughest player to guard. The Warriors need Curry to win. There are NBA players that can score the ball and are hard to guard like James Harden, Kevin Durant, and LeBron James, but Stephen Curry is the toughest player to guard in the NBA. But why?

We are so close to 50K and I got something special planned for y’all. My Curry origin story video hit a million views so thanks for the support. Let me know in the comments who do you think is the toughest player to guard in the NBA. Alright let’s get into it. I’ve been seeing a lot of talks about players like James Harden with his euro step, sleepy handle, drawing foul, style being the hardest to guard, but that got me thinking about what Kobe Bryant had said 2 years back. Kobe said that Curry was the toughest player to guard because he moves so well without the ball and he’s great in isos. Stephen Curry is the greatest shooter in NBA history and I think that people have forgotten how good Curry is when Kevin Durant joined the Warriors. I mean he was doing this casually. Now, Curry’s usage rate has dropped from 2nd in the league in his 2nd MVP season to 11th in the league this year. He just isn’t getting as many shots or having the ball in his hand. Here’s a man who has literally changed the game with 3 point shooting and is a threat as soon as he walks past half court. Sure James Harden can hit step back threes and draw fouls but Curry has a whole 3 point range named after him and it’s called Curry range. He can still handle the ball with the best of them. He can finish inside the paint. I’m not saying Curry is better, I’m saying that he’s tougher to guard simply because of the pressure he puts. Let’s say that you aren’t sold with just his three point shot and his iso ability. Curry moves off the ball better than anyone else in the league. Most stars like James Harden and LeBron James don’t move off the ball as much. As I mentioned in the video explaining why Curry keeps injuring his ankles, Curry moves off the ball constantly. At one point this season, he was second in the league in distance run per game. Because his release is so quick, a defender can’t be a second too late and combine that with Curry’s 3 point shooting ability and that makes it near impossible to guard Curry. I mean, even Kawhi Leonard got beasted on, but these cases are beasts so check out athletic cases for some treats. They got Stephen Curry being a savage. Players like Kevin Durant and James Harden can score with you on them, but there’s never this mental pressure that Curry puts on his opponent and as a defender, you are always chasing him through screens and then when he has the ball, he can still score over you. Every single defense is wary of Curry and just having him on the court creates a huge impact. Westbrook goes at you for the entire game and that’s hard to guard no doubt. But once again, Westbrook barely moves off the ball. For a defender, Curry is the ultimate nightmare and the toughest player to guard in the NBA. But what do you think? Is Curry really that hard to guard? Will Curry comeback strong against the Hawks? Let me know in the comments below. Drop a like if you liked this video and if you like Curry splashing.

Steph Curry has reached his breaking point. It’s 2019 NBA Finals. The Warriors just lost Kevin Durant for a second time due to an achilles tear. Klay Thompson already missed game 3, leaving Curry facing a box and one. And in Game 6, when Klay Thompson goes for dunk and lands on the floor in pain, the camera pans to Curry who is sitting on the floor in disbelief And now in 2024, we saw Curry have a similar reaction, with tears on his face, not because of Draymond getting ejected 4 minutes into the game, but because of what it means. This season for the Warriors has been a disaster. And it’s finally breaking Steph Curry, but why now? Why is Curry just done with the Warriors? The Warriors made the best of the situation getting D’Angelo Russell who they would later flip for Andrew Wiggins, but man 2019-2021 were rough. 2019 because Curry and Klay were both hurt, and they went 15 and 50 but in 2020, Curry went through it for several reasons. Now if you think Stephen Curry doesn’t care, think again. He cares about what people start saying, remember Kendrick Perkins, he cares about his legacy, something we’re about to get to in 2022 but Curry who was already an NBA champion was getting disrespected and he answered by leading the league in scoring. Yes, Steph Curry without another all star carried the Warriors to an 8th seed. The hope was that once Klay Thompson would come back, maybe the Warriors could be good again. But management didn’t. They just didn’t believe that the team could get it done and wanted the team to focus on younger players. In fact the Warriors going into the 2021-22 season were 9th in power rankings by bleacher report, 13th in LA times. But Klay would come back and while he wasn’t the same old Klay, he had his moments and was good enough that Curry’s faith was rewarded. Wiggins revamped himself, players finally understood how to play with Curry, how to spot him wide open. And perhaps the most important, Steph Curry finally won his finals MVP. You can see how much it meant to him, crying on the court. And afterwards, he was talking the talk, especially to all the doubters. Well duh, when you go from kicking your opponents to punching your own teammates, that tends to happen. So another year lost in the championship window. Where most players would have lost out on hope before the first championship, and even after last season, Curry had a lot of faith in himself and his closest teammates could get it done but that doesn’t seem likely because of piece #2 the Warriors are potentially calling it quits after this season and that’s coming from the Warriors owner. It’s no secret that Klay and Draymond Green’s contracts are ending soon. Klay is up this year, Draymond next. But the Warriors paid over $150 million in taxes last year to keep this exact roster in taxt. That’s right, the new luxury tax rules made the Warriors a luxury tax repeater making them pay higher rates for going over the salary cap since they re signed their core to massive contracts. And Joe Lacob, the owner, is sick of it. He’s stated that he wants to completely be out of the luxury tax. And that’s the thing. It’s not injuries that is holding this team back right now. It’s the players and management themselves. And yes while Curry proved all the haters wrong winning a finals MVP, he has a chance to do something special, something that would cement his legacy, and that’s Piece #3, a 5th championship can put Steph Curry as the best point guard of all time. At the current moment, there is the conversation of who’s the best point guard of all time: Magic or Steph. Even Steph was asked about it he said, Now the main argument holding Steph back is that Magic has one more championship. But if that was equalized, would that mean Steph would be the best point guard? Steph, like Jordan, takes a lot of things personally. And take the words of his teammates, And apparently Jordan said that Magic is the best point guard of all time. This 5th championship puts Curry firmly in the top 10 of all time, because he’s already done the rest. He has one of the biggest impacts on the game, he’s a multiple time MVP winner, and broke countless records. The reason why we are entertaining this debate is because Steph has the full resume, he has that aura.
