Imagine how long the video would be if he had been a real clutch player ...
You're saying he has not been a clutch player? You'll need to back that up.

Since 2015, 27 NBA games have had over 14,000,000 viewers. Guess how many of those 27 have included Steph? Yep, all 27.

Pales in comparison to social media views:

Steph 1.7 billion and Lebron 1.9 billion for 23-24 season. I wonder what the Olympics will do to those numbers?

Steph was #1 in the 21-22 season at 1.4 billion.

I confess I am responsible for about half of those views.

I wish more of his wildcat greatest hits were on YouTube. Who amongst us hasn’t wanted to crack a beer and watch a 24 point uncg comeback after a hard day?

Here's one for you. We lost the game, but it's still full of Curry highlights. I just wish we had gotten a rematch in the Final Four. I think it would have ended differently.

Appreciate that splendid video. I have not seen this since 2007. What stands out to me was the pace of play and Curry's defense, especially in the first half. It is also clear to me that Steph was (at worst) the second best point guard in the floor. Sorry, Ty.

Whew. Curry was able to negotiate another year with the Warriors. I’m happy they decided to keep him on despite his age.

Steph and Lebron have decided to not abide by the concept of "prime years". Steph has been in his prime for about 12 years now and seems to still be getting better! ... Lebron? Maybe 18 or so prime years and he hasn't slowed much if any! Heck, Lebron may have entered his "prime" as a senior in HS!!
Kareem played to 42 but was definitely past his prime for his last few years.

LeBron is amazing. You expect a big body like that to break down, but he still dunks with impunity and gets up and down the court.

Saw that, and that was the first of the four combinations that I solved. NBA Legend, indeed.
