Curry is from another planet

His defense isn't all that. Definitely gotten better. But there's got to be at minimum 20+ better guard defenders in the NBA. Although, NBA guys could speak to this more than I.

#1 in the NBA in steals last year, #15 in defensive win shares. Not bad for a guy who can drop 50 on any given night.

Don't confuse shooting with scoring. His scoring average is nowhere near historic.

Just for perspective, Jordan had 1 season when he put up more points per 36 than Steph has. And MJ's was far less efficient (56% True Shooting vs. 68% True Shooting)

Don't confuse scoring average with the quality of an offensive season. Few have ever scored as much as efficiently as he has.

I teach 5th graders. The only athletes they know are Steph, Cam, and OBJ. And they talk sh!+ when I wear UConn stuff. Its weird times man.

Might have to change my handle soon. Steph is revolutionizing the game-
Colin Cowherd made an interesting point last week. Steph's impact on the game might negatively affect guard play in the long run. Point guards growing up will be idolizing Steph's style, and it's incredibly hard to train yourself to be able to create your own 30+ footers and hit them consistently at the highest professional level. Just as MJ affected the game, people grew up centering their game around his style of play and copying his moves (Kobe is the only one who came close to being what MJ was).
It will just be interesting to see what NBA PGs are like in 5-10 years because it's hard to imagine anyone being able to come close to Steph's level of consistency and other-worldiness. He is an absolute robot. What's underrated about Steph though (like all great players) is his ability to defend, pass and score every way possible.
