why doesn't Stephen Curry have any iconic playoff moments?

[Stanley Kobrick]

I was troubling myself earlier to think of some off the top of my head. even in their earlier years 22yo Kobe had the lob to Shaq, 24yo MJ had his 60pts vs Boston, 22yo Lebron with his g5 Detroit or g7 50 points vs Boston. Curry has..... the regular season nail biter vs OKC?:confusedshrug:

I don't know, I feel like at 32 years of age Stephen would have more notable playoff moments. The only one that comes to mind his the "i'm here, i'm back" game vs Blazers. A series were the Warriors were already up 2-1 without him, the same playoffs they went on to blow a 3-1 lead in the Finals

stephen has always been quite exceptional at running around his teammates screens. not so much in the playoffs however when physicality picks up

in short, I also consider the ability to draw fouls a product of off the ball movement

[AlternativeAcc.]

Playoffs bring out the best or worst in a player. Steph can never be considered an all time great due to getting outperformed/carried by many of his teammates on a regular basis. Many believe he was only the 5th most important player during the Durant era behind of course Kd, klay, draymond and Iggy.

Hes easily the worst multiple time MVP winner in any sport and arguably the most overrated athlete of all time.

i agree with you AlternativeAcc. as a 2x MVP Stephen as of right now seems to be on the playoff level of Steve Nash or the likes of. at least in terms of regular season vs playoff productivity dropoff. perhaps it's his nervous behavior to shy away from big pressure moments, he doesn't really have that "it" factor. a lot of people say his streaky scoring only tends to come when his team is in the lead, in the regular season, even more so during home games. i tend to agree with them

To me, he's just someone who takes advantages of loopholes, hence, a glorified Agent Smith from the Matrix. And from their perspective, the uneven talent possessed by men in itself is a loophole, yet they perish as the level of satisfaction one can achieve can quite easily be attained at an even point.

also, a troll is in reality, one who is conducting the experiment of null hypothesis.

fascinating observation, however i think James Harden wins the award for best loophole exploiter. which in itself is ironic considering James and Stephen both have remarkable regular seasons moments of shine, yet very little post season eye appeal.

If you understand the game, and not the people, at some point, the people who takes up the game will abandon you nonetheless, as for the Steve Nash comparison, I could hardly conclude them to be the same when one is constantly trying to prevent his teammates from getting injured, while the other, for what's been published here on insidehoops, is consistently bickering with his headcoach because he gets reminded yearly during the post, everyone can during the regular season.

It's a mixture of physical weakness, one dimensional style, and like you mentioned beta/shy personality

I don't think it's fair to say it all stems from being a mental midget, the physical problems are just as important in recognizing why curry is such a playoff failure

it seems a lot of recognised agreement we all share is Stephens overall lack of masculinity or testosterone in general. during the playoffs when physicality picks up and refs swallow their whistle, Stephen seems to shy away from running around screens as often and look to get open. perhaps avoiding being elbowed in the rib cage or scratched on his arms. playoff legends like Shaq, Hakeem and Lebron tend to adapt and get better as physicality against them rises

so, subconsciously, Stephen Curry never wanted to be the FMVP, and he's always considered the achievements/accomplishment made, in the playoffs, are overrated?

he was visually disappointed during both of Kevins FMVP ceremonies, not so much Andre's as I feel Stephen accepted his subpar performance vs Dellavedova. 2019 was his best chance with Kevin out but once again he was manhandled by another role player in Fred Van Vleet. subconsciously he wants to be the man but even deeper (dream inside a dream) he is terrified to do what it takes. which is why we see players like him and Kawhi sit out for exponential amount of time, specifically to avoid superstar criticism. only to return when the timing and roster talent is fitted in their favor

Any proof to this?

[Stanley Kobrick]

Any proof to this?
yes if you search for some of the older threads on realgm Stephen's facial insecurity during the FMVP awards were a hot topic, the loss of excitement after the championship turned sour as Durant was named FMVP. but more notably most remember the 2017 X-mas game loss, Stephen was nearly on the verge of tears in the post game interview after Steve Kerr subbed him out in crunch time for being a liability on defense

If you look closely at Warriors bench during Kyries last shot over Klay, you can see Stephen unable to even watch the entire possession with his head in his lap


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oragndFFa8o


Here is another example of him being frustrated getting subbed out while Durant gets subbed in, even during blowout wins

The only reason Curry wouldn't have any iconic playoffs moments for someone if they actually watched the playoffs is if they were like the OP: a troll desperately insecure in his idolization of an inferior player.

well Curry and Leonard are 2 very different case. With Curry, there's this false sense of loyalty, as if the admission of something absolves you from the responsibilities. Curry openly welcomed Kevin Durant after losing in the finals, instead of being neutral and be his own company man, again, as if this equates to some sort of team chemistry by abilities instead of sound fundamental basketball. Leonard switched franchise and went to the NBA finals.

and regarding to Andre winning the FMVP over Curry, I can only say the resentment most certainly was carried quite deep (dream inside a dream), because it seems as if they believe that prior going into the finals, they were the underdog, and they beat out Lebron, like a Cinderella story. And if your team was the underdog and you couldn't even step up enough to secure the FMVP, imagine the type of man he is. As to the rational thoughts of the Warriors were favored due to Love and Irvings' injury. I can say I've seen the front office and coaching staff addressing such possibility, but never from the core players of Curry/Green/Thompson/Iggy.

This. Also, putting up 47 in last year's finals with no KD and no Klay, while still dealing with criticism that he doesn't "step up" in big moments. While they lost that game, it indeed was a moment.

OP asks for an iconic playoff moment and THAT'S what he comes up with :oldlol: Yeesh

[imdaman99]

I thought he had a nice pass to Klay in game 6 against OKC :eek:

[Bronbron23]

I was never a steph fan. I always felt that if you take away the hundreds of moving screens he gets he wouldnt be nearly as effective. Recently Ive soften a bit on that stance though. In in his absence ive kind of missed him and the warriors. They bring alot of excitement to the game. Plus alot of players rely heavily on screens in this era. Its just part of the game and smart to be honest. Yeah its a bit less manly and takes away from head to head matchups a bit but coaches and teams do a really good job at setting screens to either free up an offensive player or get them on a worse defender. Why go iso against a great defender thats gonna make it hard for you to get a good look when you dont have to?

One thing alot of you guys are missing about steph and the warriors is how effective there off ball running around screens style is. Its extremely taxing on defences and extremely difficult to defend. Steph's unselfishness allows for this system to be as effectively as it is. He could be more selfish and demand to have the ball in his hands more to create and increase his stats like james harden or luka does but he knows this isnt optimal for winning. Its kind of hard dissing him for that so i no longer do. That said im still not a huge fan. I just dont dislike him anymore and have more respect for him than i used to.

He's being sarcastic. Nothing Curry ever did was iconic.

He came real close 2013 WCSF G1 and 2016 WCSF G4.

Outside of that he has plenty great games, some nice buzzer beaters, occasionaly showed up in the clutch ('17 WCF G1).

But its the same problem for Kobe, and you notice their fans significantly lowering the bar for "iconic", so much that they mention single plays (alley-oop). Iconic moment, arguably, but not game. Moment because of what it represented, not the difficulty.

what?!

When you gotta add that much shit to your criteria, it probably won't check.

I think you are refering to them "overcoming" the Paul-less Rockets?

Yeah, once a team loses their best/2nd best player on an already short rotation, in a game in which either another teammate pulls them back in (game 6) or is severely call-diluted (game 7), there probably won't be anything iconic about it.

controversial, would the apt term be.

But sure, maybe you thought it was iconic how they beat a team that was a 7/1 underdog

prolly meant to highlight the rockets game 7 three

He has posted up to 5 videos and, while great plays, I couldn't recall a single one if I tried, and I think that's the case for 95% of the people. It's becoming glaringly obvious a). you have no idea what iconic means, b). Curry doesn't have any iconic moments. You made the argument that most games are out of reach therefore there isn't time for an iconic moment, yet every time the going gets tough, Curry is nowhere to be found and it's Klay stepping up in game 6, it's Durant (whose championships are nonexistent) and Draymond calling the shots. Oof.

Chef is somewhat feast or famine.

He's either burying you in an avalanche, or struggling. Teams also completely sell out to stop him in the playoffs.

In 2015, he buried everybody despite facing double team traps at half court due to his deadly range. This allowed a cast away Iggy to go off.

2016, same story. Put the nail in the Thunder's coffin in the 4th quarter of game 7 (deja vu from gthe regular season). And then allowed 2nd round dray to go off.

2017 and 2018, he sacrificed his big balls KO style to allow Durant to flourish... an already dominant player, he put up an astounding 35 ppg on 70 TS... literally made the man a GOAT.

There's never been an enhancer like Curry before because there's never been a guy who gets consistently targeted and doubled from as far away from the basket as he has.

Warriors fans don't have any problem remembering a loooong list of iconic moments to enjoy and cherish. But I guess there are others out there who are traumatized and block all memories of him out. This is rather low on my list of moments but going by the posts of others here maybe it is more your thing.

curry is GOAT playoff player , actually

STEPHEN CURRY is only undefeated player in all playoff series when his team isn't injured and/or suspended

all time

wow

too much goat, no need for icon

not even kobe, MJ, etc :eek:

[GimmeThat]

well, he's an undersized SG who can shoot the ball and didn't even show he had the brain to run the point at the college level.

he was put at the PG position at first due to players at other positions are good enough passers and this was the only way to stop him from being a defensive liability.

so if you want to use the word Iconic on a shoot first PG. I think we'd have to get rid of the aspect of dribbling all together to make it happen.

Now that you mention it maybe he is. He is on the team with the best playoffs record in history and he has the record +/- in the playoffs since it has been tracked.

[Hey Yo]

Steph is a cuckold. He let a perennial playoffs loser like KD takeover his team.
Imagine winning the title and then spending the entire following season begging the 2nd best player in the league to join your team that summer.


"Here's the thing that's interesting about Golden State -- their players have been recruiting Kevin Durant all year. And it goes back to early in the season when the Thunder were struggling. And I don't know if Golden State saw them as a peer; I don't know that they saw them as a threat ... Kevin Durant, just like he was hearing from guys in Boston, Washington, different places -- he was hearing from guys on the Warriors about, 'Hey, you can come help take the pressure off of Steph Curry. We need you.' This is when they were running off win after win after win.

"They had him on their mind. He's been on their mind. And it appealed to him. And some of it was text messages, it's a lot of that. But the communication with some of the players in Golden State and Kevin, that's just not just starting now."

Fascinating indeed. Lesser player shooting threes consecutively is deemed iconic by some people, but the record setting performance is ignored by them.

Lesser player sweeps his opposition and is lionized, but the record setting sweep set by Curry is again ignored.

Clearly Curry is being graded on a curve because he busts the standard points of reference. Truly one of a kind player. He is beyond precedent. People cannot grasp just how good he is. His rivals' fans are scared.

The large number afflicted by PCTSD on this site is fascinating. How cult fan worship of a particular individual can lead to delusions and denialism about rivals and dissociation with reality seems to be a phenomenon in modern American society. I wonder how this transfers to politics. Did it start in popular culture or vice versa? Did it presage Trump? Truly a phenomenon worthy of study for anthropologists and sociologists.

But you are wrong. Curry has tons of iconic playoffs moments for Warriors fans. Which probably gets to the heart of the matter: iconic moments differ depending on the audience. What is iconic for one audience is not necessarily the case for another. Media can keep foisting supposedly iconic moments on us but that doesn't mean we accept it or agree with their choices. I'm sure many Republicans would roll their eyes at the things dubbed as iconic involving Obama and many Democrats would do the same for moments involving Reagan or Trump.

In other words he's only found himself in a such a situation 8 times—and he didn't even lose all 8 of those. He ended up winning at least one of those games.

It's a misleading number. Better to be 0/8 in such situations than 12/24 because the latter still means 12 times you likely lost instead of just 8.

A probable explanation that makes complete sense: Curry only gets into close games when his shooting is off. When his shooting is on, he blows opponents away.

Reminds me when LeBron was being guarded by Steph Curry and he passed to George Hill for the the game winner. :oldlol:

“my bran made the right basketball play doe!”

There were 2 defenders on him, and if Curry was smarter and more confident he would have split the Ibaka/Van Vleet double.

ATG's should be able to get a good 2 point look with that much time. Curry usually doesn't.

Don't see any resemblance, but nothing gets by you.

LeBron got someone 2 at the charity stripe, why in the blue should he pull up for a tougher 2?

Split the double? Did you see where Curry was coming from and the momentum he was carrying? That he could even pivot and shoot that with such quickness is likely a skill beyond most players.

Yeah that's why fans of lesser players have to settle for made up "iconic moments" while Curry's got records.

We can probably add more detail and commentary later.

Ive never seen a player go down the all-time rankings AFTER winning two rings. we had him potential top 15 after winning two MVPs and a ring but then kd came and took over his team and completely made us forget about the 'ol dingo.


kd probably took his top-15 all-time spot as well.

Classic case of PCTSD. Symptoms: Denials, amnesia, illogical babbling, delusions.

Possible excuse: Stephen Curry did so much alien stuff in such a short time it leaves victims wondering if it really happened at all or was just a nightmare.

[IllegalD]

Curry Stans scrambling like desperate cockroaches.

Reality check: Just because a moment is memorable TO YOU PERSONALLY (as fans who have Curry's d*ck in their mouths) doesn't mean it's iconic to the general populous/NBA fandom and sports media. Go see any Curry Top 10 career moments montage and his #1 moment is a buzzerbeater in a meaningless regularseason game against the Thunder.

No Finals MVP. No ICONIC NBA playoff moment. Hell, even Isiah and Stockton have some that absolutely destroy Curry's.

Forgot about those guys. Next to Curry's incandescence everything else is a pale shadow. When I see media showing their choices for memorable moments I shake my head and wonder what drugs they're on and what on earth are they trying to sell me. When it come to highlights Curry is number one by a wide margin.

No kidding.

If you are the first unaminous MVP in history and your team losses in the Finals despite being up 3-1 and having won the most games in regular season history?

Did the concussive force of his three-point barrage that reduced your team to rubble cause you to develop amnesia? Looks like you're suffering from PCTSD.

That's going too far Oh really? Currys Warriors went 73-9 in the regular season.

In 2015-16 he shattered a NBA record the most threes in a season. He broke the record in this game where he did everything that a MVP could do.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lz29FUCJWWc

Curry is the only player other than MJ to average 30 points, 6 assists, and 5 rebounds AND shoot 50 percent from the floor in 1 season. Curry had a EFG% of 63 which ranked #2 behind DeAndre Jordan who only made 357 shots all year.

He shot 70 percent on layups that season.

Whats not impressive about that?

Of course this wasn't the playoffs. The lakers last made the postseason in 2013.

The best part about that "I'm here, I'm back" moment is that Curry fans cannot cry "injury" because he was KILLING IT before King James and his men locked Curry up. Reduced him to 22-5-4

In his 9 games leading up to the Finals he was averaging 30/8/8 … I'm going to make a thread on it I think

Why does my bran only have 3 fmvps when Jordan has SIX? How can he ever compare? :(

it seems his productivity depletes the deeper he gets into the playoffs as competition gets tougher and pressure increases. very interesting

It shows how threatened fans of rivals are that their takeaway was that that is the best part of such brilliance under less than ideal circumstances. :facepalm PCTSD.

"His men"? A Freudian slip perhaps? :oldlol:

Make a thread on Curry having lower numbers leading up to the finals than he did last year? I wonder what that will prove? :confusedshrug:

Must be shell-shocked and unable to get their bearings.
