Three takeaways from Warriors win at OKC

Steph Curry is the best point guard in the league

Stephen Curry is still the best point guard in the league. Being the best goes beyond having the gaudiest stats. It goes beyond big dunks and angry faces.

Critics want to say he fell off this season. There were two main arguments when they tried to analyze Curry’s game. Either Kevin Durant’s acquisition ruined him or his MVP-status was a fluke. That his struggling self was actually who he was.

Going up against Mr. Triple-Double himself, Curry nearly had one himself. He had 26 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists. He had a well-rounded game.

While Westbrook tied the entire Golden State team with 11 turnovers, Curry had none. In a big game in hostile territory, he took care of the ball and came away with two steals.

The best point guard doesn’t need to have the most assists. He doesn’t need to be the flashiest. He needs to get the job done.

Curry does that and more. While his numbers aren’t as big as last year, his impact and talent didn’t dwindle. He’s still the catalyst for Golden State’s all-time offense. No one makes defenses crumble like he does.

The superstar point guard’s ability to let others take over and pick his spots makes him the best. A leader doesn’t always need to be the center of everything. A great leader can conceded and delegate for the greater good.

Steph Curry just wants to win. He’s the most skilled point guard in the game and, possibly, ever. He has it all and he can do it with a smile on his face.

Sorry Russ, Steph is the one who does what he wants.
