If you have been around any platform that discusses the NBA, you would know what they say about the Warriors.

While many players on the Warriors meant it as a joke, but over the course of the last season, we’ve seen that it was an effective strategy. Stephen Curry has always been the smaller guy on the court, so he has to rely on constant movement and use innovative methods to stay one step ahead. NBA Twitter saw videos explaining the Warriors’ star and his playmaking, and were wow-ed by all the things Curry does silently.

NBA Twitter reacts to Stephen Curry and his playmaking

In this one specific YouTube video, the person tries to break down the little things Curry does on offense and defense that change the course of the game. For the purpose of the video, the creator took up the Warriors-Nuggets game from January to explain things.

As observed in the video, Stephen Curry does numerous things to outplay his opponents. From calling out entire plays with just the signaling of his fingers to creating open looks for other teammates. Curry’s methods arent only limited to the offensive side of the floor. He also reads the opponents on defense, keeps a close eye on the coach, reads their strategy, and gets his own defense to react accordingly.

NBA Twitter knows what Curry is capable of, and yet we’re surprised every time Steph does the impossible in any game.
