Especially Curry cause his release is so quick and lethal. Even when he's not touching the ball, he's drawing at least two defenders, giving his teammate plenty of space to operate.

In the game against Cavs, Curry only had 11 points. But I saw AT LEAST 6 plays where his movement directly caused his teammates to get easy shots.

This kind of thing doesn't show up in the box score, but has a huge impact on the game.

He's the best pure point guard in the game, that's the point.
He makes more plays without actively being involved in it than cp3 or rondo or westbrook.

Dude was locked down and his team still was able to sleepwalk to a win.

Curry is a product of his teammates as much as they are a product of him. And both are a product of a made-for-TV NBA.

It's crazy how he demands double teams off the ball.

All the switches and doubles lead to great opportunities for his teammates.

Steph Curry is literally doubled at the 3 point line, completely opens up the game for the role players

MVP last night, MVP all season

Waaaay off the ball

25+ minutes last night:
Iggy +21
Livingston +20
Green +17
Barnes +7
Curry -1

Demanding double teams on the bench? Cause he's that big of a threat.
