You continue to be a blithering idiot in your haste to fellate Jordan, when no one was even comparing the two itt.

Back on topic...

I don't watch much basketball, but I've never seen someone with handles like that. He creates so much space in the blink of an eye.

His handles make it so the defender can't cheat on a single one of his moves. There isn't a player on this planet he can't undress 1v1 in the open court.

Add in how good he is using screens and it really isn't fair.

I've been trying to say that for a while, not many seem to agree.

Athleticism isn't simply run fast/jump high. His quickness and agility and maneuverability certainly seem to suggest that he has elite athleticism by NBA standards.

That video is awesome. My only gripe about it is that it's WAY too many edits. So it's only showing parts of his moves and skills sometimes. I'd like to see the entire plays to appreciate how good he really is.

The best ones are the slow motion shots of him dribbling in traffic. It's amazing how professional basketball players are swiping left and right at the ball and they're helplessly missing, meanwhile Curry is in full control the whole time. It's beautiful to watch.

And I think my favorite clip in that whole video is the one at 5:25 then he makes the move, b-t-b passes to Green, then to Klay, then back to Curry in the corner, and he shoots the three and turns around to the bench about halfway through the shot before it goes in.

Dude is sick, and easily the most fun player to watch in a really long time.

What he did to the kawhi at 3:41, the best perimeter defender on the world, is just unbelievable

Stephen Curry is stronger than you think. Way, way stronger. Golden State Warriors director of athletic performance Keke Lyles revealed that the MVP's exploits in the weight room are legendary, via ESPN's Tom Haberstroh:

"He's probably 10 times stronger than what people think," Lyles says.

Exhibit A: Curry can deadlift 400 pounds.

The exercise the Warriors prefer is the trapbar dead lift, which is basically a safer way to mimic lifting a giant boulder off the ground. One of the primary muscles that it works? Yup, the gluteus maximus.

"Steph's the second strongest on our team pulling that one," Lyles says with a straight face. "For his size, Steph is ridiculous strong."

Only center Festus Ezeli, who stands about seven feet and 270 pounds, can top Curry on that particular lift. That may be hard to believe, but that core power is the secret that unlocks Curry's magic.

"We knew he was strong," Lyles says, "but when he started pushing that kind of weight, I was like 'This guy is just a freak.'"

Whatever he did to Raja Bell should be illegal.

Convos about his level of athleticism are mindless until we define what is meant by the term. Kudos for taking a step in the right direction.
