    Just amazing. NBA teams need to send more spies to document his offseason preparation for their own players.

    I doubt it will help. SC is a one of a kind player, you just have to admire the skill. Maybe they should check to see if he has a mini radar in his head.

    I noticed sometime the guy(usually green) setting a pick for curry, tend to move and even grab the defender.... and the refs just blindly ignore the moving pick violation. No wonder you can't get a hand in curry's face when he's shooting.

    He shoots a lot with a hand in his face.

    I don't think you'd need spies to figure out his offseason secret... he works his ass off.

    Teams switch or at least show on those picks. We've all seen plenty of games and his highlights are on Youtube; he's perfectly capable to getting his shot off without a pick. He's the leading scorer in the league and reigning MVP, you think teams are going to give him open shots that easily? Curry's defended, it just doesn't seem to matter to him.

    This a perfect example of how the media and fans change the narrative. Truth is we don't know who will become great or when. It's easy to write off a player when it's not going right but be prepared to be ridiculed if that player proves you wrong.

    ^^This.
    Curry is athletic and quick, but I find what he's doing more impressive than Jordan since his skill level seems beyond anything ever seen in the NBA.

    Anyone else think this thread would be better had OP misspelled the title this way instead:

    "Stephen Curry is unguerdable"

    Haha nope - but he's going to make more this year for not playing than most people will make in a lifetime!
