agreed
Looney played all 82 last season. No excuses
Jefferson just a hater only wants lebron cream on his coffee
We have to give so much more credit for his approach in changing how the Warriors play. He adapted tiki taka from the Barcelona soccer team & if you follow soccer you'll know how Barcelona destroyed every team during their prime with Pep & Messi. I can only admire him for such effort & thinking out of the box from such a far-fetched idea. Tiki Taka is the reason why Steph is praised for his off the ball movement & creating space without the ball for pressureless open shots. Only genius passionate coaches can go to such lengths to win. GSW dominated exactly the same as 2010s Barca under Pep the resemblance is mind blowing 🤯
Klay was also a top 5 defender at his position until the injury
They had Steph on kyrie and we all remember what happened
From the TV you can see both Labron James and AD's leggs were wobbling, Golden State warriors just play the way they played for 2nd game. Lakers will be history.
I enjoy your podcast a lot because you are both articulate and insightful thus easy to listen to.
bro imagine before steph retires, they buy orrrr recruit a rookie that can playmake first and score second. Curry coming from off-ball screen along with klay. Also, draymond also handlling the ball and then a young center that can shoot and defend.
Rich Jeff yes I still hate you for those missed free throws, you sold the game to help the Spurs, I’ll always believe that 🤣
Mark Jackson saw it coming
What if the Grizzlies drafted Steph instead of Thabeet?!!🙄
We gotta understand that Steph plays that way because of the system golden state runs. You can see his point guard skills when they ran the pick and roll
Jefferson saying curry is a shooting guard is bull, a shooting guard DOESN'T HANDLE THE BALL, CONTROL TEMPO, AND ATTACK AT THE POINT!!!!!! Shooting guards shoot and guard, curry can shoot, guard, assist, rebound, and most importantly he can attack at the point run the offence and drive to the basket efficiently and consistently. He can do it all, which SHOOTING GUARDS DON'T DO, not to mention the fact that everybody plays other positions nowadays it doesn't mean they are not their main position.
Why does Richard curse every other sentence dude sounds like a high school talking
I remember the playoffs when Curry and Thompson developed audacious shot making, and thinking, watch out NBA. They completely revolutionized efficiency by 3 pts, and what's great is nobody else who replicate that are as good. They stormed in the era of outside shooting and left Charles Barkeley forever in denial (no chips)
I feel like calling Steph a SG is equivalent as calling Lamar Jackson a rb it’s funny 😂
I remember back around 2015 it felt like the Steph/Klay Warriors just came out of nowhere, shooting from all over the court. They completely changed the game. In 2012, 2013, it was still the old NBA, with the Spurs, Heat still competing, and other teams like the Kobe Lakers and Dirk Mavericks were hanging around. Then all of a sudden, almost overnight the league changed in 2015 with the Steph/Klay Warriors.
It’s amazing looking back what the Warriors accomplished, and they’re still going. Gives me that nostalgic feel 🥹
Saw him play at the socon tourney right before his first run in the NCAA’s. Everyone in the gym knew he was special
That's hilarious. 😂 JJ is the best.
JJ needs to sign RJ to the pod
David Lee swallowed his pride coming back from injury, and became a champion.
Could the Warriors have won in spite of Mark Jackson? Homey don't thinkso.
Could Steve Kerr had saved the Knicks? No one could save the Knicks from Phil Jackson.
RJ making excuses for himself 😂😂 and he still hates on this team to this day because the dynasty started when he left.
Jordan, pippen, rodman/grant…Jordan didn't do it alone. Steph, klay and draymond, same story.
The 2014 Spurs, or even the prior iterations of Pops teams, don’t get enough credit for the way they started this trend. Move the ball around with a ton of off ball motion and shooters filling the roster. Kerr has molded his coaching style more towards Pop than any other coaching great he had in his past.
People say Steph's not a pg as a slight. But if Steph's best position is shooting gaurd, and he is on the ball about 50% of the time, yet he's a top 3 pg AND a top 3 sg all time. Pick a category that makes you happy.
2016 Cavs got so lucky. LeChoke usually loses to everyone, but Kyries bailed him out. That Dray suspension really shifted the momentum completely.
Richard Jefferson is still in his feelings about losing to them when he was with the Cavs
Klay owes Jerry West A lot . Jerry West stuck his neck out for Klay in 2014 . Jerry West Threatened to Quit the Warriors if Klay was Traded tor K Love . 🤔💥🙊🙉🙈👀💫🌟✨🔥😉
