I survived nine months in captivity, and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart, and these are the survivor files.
Starting point is 00:00:47 Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable, abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced. These are stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the Survivor Files with Elizabeth Smart on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Hoda Kotbby, host of the podcast, Joy 101 with Hoda Kotvey. You know, I'm always searching for inspiration and useful tools to maximize joy. Like when my friend Henry Winkler offered advice to aspiring actors and really anybody hoping to stand out.
Starting point is 00:01:23 You're not hired just to fill time and space. You're hired to fill the space with you. Listen to Joy 101 with Hoda Kotby on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, this is Hayes Davenport. And Sean Clements. We host the podcast, Hollywood Handbook. Each week, we talk to someone in show business and try to help them with their careers and see what they have to offer us. Everyone has a good time and no one gets mad at their publicists for letting them do our show.
Starting point is 00:01:53 We've had a lot of great guests like Sarah Sherman, Adam Scott, Danny McBride, Ben Stillard, and a lot of other big shots that wouldn't be where they are without us. Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Volume. Good Hoops tonight here at The Volume. Happy Monday, everybody. Hope all of you guys had an incredible weekend. We are continuing our player rankings today.
Starting point is 00:02:29 We're moving into the top 10. We're going to slow down a little bit here. We're going to be going one player at a time for the first seven players. And then because I think the top three is so fascinating, we're going to end up combining that one into one episode. But we're starting today with number 10. Steph Curry. You guys know the joke before we get started. Subscribe to the You Hoops Tonight YouTube channel so you don't miss any more of our videos. We need about 6,000 more subs to get to our goal for 150,000. So if you haven't subscribed already, that would help us a lot. If you're already
Starting point is 00:02:57 subscribed, like this video and sign up for post notifications, that helps us a lot as well. If you want to get questions into our mailbags, again, our mailbags are kind of centered around the player rankings this time of year. You disagree with the ranking. Have one guy too high, one guy too low, a guy that should have made the list that didn't, whatever it might be, drop those in the mailbag. Give your reasoning. Just put mailbag, colon, tell me what you disagree with. Tell me why. We'll go through it in our player rankings, mailbags throughout the rest of the summer. All right, let's talk some basketball. So Steph Curry at number 10. Only 43 games played last year at a kind of a balky knee that started
Starting point is 00:03:30 to bother him towards the tail end of the season. We'll talk about that at the tail end of the show. In those 43 games, though, he was excellent. 27 points per game, four rebounds, five assists, 64% true shooting. That was his highest since 2023, and that with an increase in volume under circumstances with the roster, still just an incredibly impressive offensive player, which we'll be talking a lot about today. 1.15 points per jump shot last year, 38% on catch and shoot threes, 45% when he was unguarded, 41% on off the dribble threes. You break it down by distance. It's kind of funny, 37% on short twos inside of 17 feet, only 30 attempts. Kind of strange for such a good shooter to have a bad short range shooting season, but the volume is low there. 55% on long
Starting point is 00:04:12 two's, 49 attempts there, 39% from three, 485 attempts. So the vast majority of of Steph Curry's jump shooting attempts come from the three point line. 50% on floaters took about one of those per game, a little under one of those per game, 64% at the rim, which is obviously ridiculous for a guard his size, his age, his athletic ability, just ridiculous. Combination of a couple things, he has ridiculous touch that this hand-eye coordination is his apex trait that you could argue he has the greatest hand-eye coordination in the history of the world. He has this incredible ability to use his body to shield defenders. I think it's when you're talking about young guards and learning to play in traffic, one of the things that Steph does such a good job
Starting point is 00:04:58 of is once he gets an angle, like everything fundamentally comes down to his ability to get an angle because of the threat of his shot. He will, you know, use you leaning too far forward to contest for him to get around you. But once he gets around you, he's very good at using his body to shield that defender off, trapping him on his side, trapping him on his backside, and then essentially working his way into the lane and kind of using a little bit of that like backwards pressure to create the separation to then lean forward and get into his finishing. Again, like he gets great looks at layups just simply because of the threat of his three point shot. But when he gets there, he uses his body extremely well, and he has ridiculous touch that leads to high level rim finishing.
Starting point is 00:05:42 The play type data equally excellent, 1.1 points per possession in pick and roll. That's like outstanding. That's in the territory of the best pick and roll players in the league. Relatively low volume, you don't see a ton of Steph pick and roll. That's kind of not Steve Kerr's offense, but still 465 possessions. And in those 465 super efficient, shot 42% on pull-up threes in pick and roll this year. 1.07 points per possession in ISO, including passes. Again, you're not going to see a ton of ISO, a ton of pick and roll with step. That's not the way that Steve Kerr's offense works, but when he does so, he is still one of the most efficient shot creators in those actions in the league. One of the cool things that I saw in the stats from his play type data was how
Starting point is 00:06:25 well he shot coming off of handoffs. 79 attempts. So twice a game, he shot 54% on threes sprinting into dribble handoffs, which I think is a super impressive bit of movement shooting. So here's the question. How does Steph crack the top 10 of this year's rankings? Coming off of a season where he played in just 43 games
Starting point is 00:06:46 where he missed the playoffs and heading into a season where he'd be 39 years old if the Warriors were to make the postseason. Very simply, he's just still one of the very best offensive engines in the entire NBA. It's important to understand why,
Starting point is 00:07:02 why Steph missed the playoffs. Why his workload was so heavy that his knee broke down. And why the Warriors have basically been the laughing stock of the NBA this summer. They are utterly devoid of top end talent. The collection of young players they've brought in over the course of the post-Cevon era is utter, they don't have a single guy who's a franchise cornerstone level talent, which is obviously an indictment of their draft record. They have these extremely old and broken down veterans by NBA standards.
Starting point is 00:07:36 You know, like, I like Porzingis. I like Jimmy Butler. I like Al Horford. But like the idea of counting on them to be available to you is ridiculous. The one strength of the roster over the course of the last, you know, let's just call it the post-KD era, has been the back third of their roster. They have a strong basketball culture overall. And so they've been good at finding like decent rotation level town.
Starting point is 00:08:02 for guys you can be like your eighth, ninth, tenth, 10th man in the rotation on any given night. But that decent rotation level talent just doesn't matter all that much if you don't have strong top end talent to actually craft the small, achievable roles those kinds of players need to succeed. And the Warriors are just devoid of top end talent after step. And yet, despite that lack of talent, the Warriors have still had very little trouble scoring the basketball
Starting point is 00:08:31 in the large sample when Steph Curry's on the floor. The numbers last year, again, were just insane. The Warriors posted a 119 offensive rating with Steph Curry on the floor last year. I used to say that forever. Like step, put Steph on the floor, guaranteed 120 offensive rating. And last year, in the worst of circumstances, Jimmy Butler goes down with injury. Moses Moody goes down with injury. You get Porzingis back for comminga.
Starting point is 00:08:55 You get nothing out of him. With all of the bad things that happened to the Warriors last year, they still had just under. It was a 119.1. So nine tenths of a point away from cracking a 120 offensive rating still with Steph Curry on the floor. Even if you remove Jimmy Butler, the four most used Warriors lineups without Jimmy, but with Steph on the floor still crushed offensively. And I'm picking these four lineups because I want to read them to you so you can just see
Starting point is 00:09:26 the type of talent he's working with. The most used lineup without Jimmy with step on the floor. Steph Curry, Brandon Pajamsky, Gary Payton 2nd, Moses Moody, Draymond, Dremont, Green. 122 offensive rating in 103 possessions. Steph, Pods, Moody, Draymond, and Horford. 121 offensive rating in 80 possessions. Steph, Pods, GP2, Guy Santos, and Dremont.
Starting point is 00:09:51 142 offensive rating in 43 possessions. Steph Pods, GP2, Buddy Healed in Al Horford, 147 offensive rating in 36 possessions. even with Jimmy Butler off the floor. Steph Curry on the floor gave the Warriors an elite offense. Out of all the players that I list, how many of those dudes do you consider to be like a starting level talent
Starting point is 00:10:15 in the modern NBA? Dremont is still starting level talent, not an offensive talent, but still a high level starter in this league, I think. That's it, though. Moses Moody, I think, is a guy, like if you're trying to compete for a championship, maybe your fifth starter.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Brandon Pajemski, I'd argue, is ideally a sixth man, but I guess you could call him a starting caliber talent. That's it, though. All those other dudes, I don't want to even touching my starting lineup if I'm a serious basketball team. And Steph was putting up elite offense with them. The simple fact of the matter is, Steph's sheer presence on the basketball court
Starting point is 00:10:53 creates more advantages more consistently than any single player in the game. the league. The only thing that separates the upper tier offensive engines from him is there is the indomitable scoring piece. Like there are other offensive engines that do different things than Steph. Like Tyrese Halliburton is all about pace. Like he's, he's just driving just sheer pace, right? And all the advantages that come with that. And then like when you get to like Luca and Shay, it's this indomitable like you don't really have anybody on the team that can guard me. So we're going to get 33, 34 points per game on mid-60s true shooting.
Starting point is 00:11:35 Yokic, it's that short range like any single possession, I can get something that's going to go in two-thirds of the time, right? Like, Steph, and then, you know, when you get to the other guards like Jalen Brunson and Anthony Edwards who are above Steph on this list, it's about youth and they have a health advantage. Obviously, like you're way safer bets to play throughout the regular season and playoffs this year, among some other things. I'd argue both of those guys are a little bit better at creating their own shot right now. But like strictly large sample who breaks a defense just by being out there. Steph, that's his claim to fame. That's what he does. And like I'm a huge believer in Steph's advantage creation.
Starting point is 00:12:16 I've joked about this a lot on the show over the years, like that it's the one thing that all the crazy Steph fans are really right about. Like I saw a tweet yesterday. It was asking if there's any NBA player. that's like owned his city the way that Jalen Brunson owns New York. And like Steph Curry was the first player that came to mind to me so much so that I think he owns San Francisco even more than Brunson owns New York. Steph fans are fiercely loyal to him.
Starting point is 00:12:45 About 75% of Steph fans just think he's better than LeBron. And like there's a good 20% of them or so that think he's the greatest basketball player of all time. And like, I don't agree with those people, but it's important to understand where those beliefs come from. They don't come from blind faith or loyalty. They come from a decade plus of him being absolutely magical on the court. They come from him being, I believe, the greatest show that I've ever watched play basketball. I'll never forget. I was driving when in 2021, when he was on that scoring run in the late regular
Starting point is 00:13:29 season. We were driving through a blizzard coming home from Breckenridge in the in the Rockies getting ready to go to the airport. And I was glued to my phone. Someone else was driving. I was glued to my phone watching Steph in a random regular season game because I just happened to be scrolling Twitter. Someone was like Steph's doing it again. And if you were watching in that era, just everyone dropped what they were doing and picked up their phone or opened up their laptop or turned on their TV
Starting point is 00:13:56 because Steph was going on these like just constant 20 point halves, 25 point halves, where he was just lighting teams on fire. He's the greatest show that has ever graced the basketball court. And when you combine that with all of the things that he's brought in the championships, in the long-term success, in the great leadership, it has led to this deeply ingrained belief from all of those guys who are fans of that team. Behind every night spent making the kids' lunches, there's a lot of suspense. Will they finally eat the veggies?
Starting point is 00:14:35 Will the pasto survive the first bite? Will the lunchbox come home empty, half full, or come home at all?

When I was 14 years old, I was kidnapped and held captive for nine months.
Starting point is 00:15:04 I survived, and I've spent my life exploring how other people survive what should have destroyed them. I'm Elizabeth Smart, and these are the Survivor Files. I just remember this low, taunting voice next to my ear saying, shut up, don't say anything. Every week, I'm with survivors who live through the unthinkable. I knew if he woke up, without a doubt, he was going to hurt me. I started feeling that there was someone at the end of my bed, and I just started screaming. They are abducted, stalked, controlled, and nearly silenced. But these aren't stories about what's taken from them.
Starting point is 00:15:47 There's stories about what it takes to make it out alive. Listen to the Survivor Files with Elizabeth Smart on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, this is Hayes Davenport. And Sean Clements. We host the podcast Hollywood Handbook on the Big Money Players Network. Our show is extremely accessible to first-time listeners. Each week, we talk to someone in show business, aka the biz,
Starting point is 00:16:12 and try to help them with their careers and see what they have to offer us. Everyone has a good time, and no one gets mad at their publicists for letting them do our show. We've had a lot of great guests like Sarah Sherman. Not that great. Actually, can you help me shape this? How about we flip it on his head? How about we flip this script? What is the surprise woman?
Starting point is 00:16:33 Actually, you think is the straight man is actually the one who's acting weird. Adam Scott, this entire time you've been expecting Adam Sandler to come to visit the show. I would never expect. I would never set expectations for something like that to happen. If the universe allows for something like that to happen. I'm open to it. I'm always going to accept. You know, Danny McBride, fine.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Yeah, it's all this fragile masculinity exuding. I could smell it walking down the hallway, to be honest with you. I was like, is that weed? Nope, it's fragile masculinity. Ben Stiller, no. Because a lot of times, out of context, people don't get it or even know what a circle is. You know what I mean? They're like, oh, what's just a state.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Everyone's so dumb. And fake. Right. fake and also not interested or just like, oh, I've got my life, I don't care about your life. And a lot of other big shots that wouldn't be where they are without us. Oh, and by the
Starting point is 00:17:35 way, Will Ferrell told us personally he loves the show and he wants to be a guest on every episode, but he's just so busy. Listen to Hollywood Handbook on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've said the same thing about my fandom of LeBron. You want to know why I'm such a big LeBron fan? Because for a decade,
Starting point is 00:17:55 every single time there was a big game, I just knew he was going to come through and then he would do it again and it would reinforce that belief. And it'd be like, all right, you know, tonight's game seven against the Celtics in 2018. Well, like, I know LeBron's just going to be fucking awesome. And then he's fucking awesome. And he's getting an and one to ice the game and drag that weak-ass calves team to the finals. Like, it was reinforced for me year after year after year after year after year. So people, no one can tell me shit about that guy. And that same belief is ingrained in the people who have been rooting for Steph Curry in his
Starting point is 00:18:27 career. And, you know, me trying as hard as I can over the years to be an unbiased observer. And obviously as I've grown as a basketball fan as into like, you know, when you're in your early 20s or mid-20s and it's Steph and LeBron in a rivalry, you just hate that motherfucker, right? And I hated him so much. But then as I grew up and I just kind of matured as a basketball fan and got separated from that era, Steph literally has become my second favorite player. And like, but all of the crazy shit that Steph fans have said over the years, there's one. that I 100% agree with. And it's that his gravity,
Starting point is 00:19:03 that buzzword that always gets thrown around, makes him so much better on offense than even what his strong individual production looks like. I've said this on the show before. I think he was a better offensive player than LeBron. I think he's the second best offensive player ever, maybe even the best ever. I want to do a video.
Starting point is 00:19:22 When we're done with player rankings, I'm going to do a video that just ranks the best offensive player. ever. I want to think about it more because Yokic put up a stinker of all stinkers in that first round. And I would talk a little bit about how he's not as indomitable as we originally thought. And I want to kind of readdress with a lot of thinking and a lot of retrospection on the idea of Steph versus Yokich is the number one offensive engine of all time. And I want to kind of dig into some of the other players that I view as great offensive engine. So we'll do that when we get done with
Starting point is 00:19:52 player rankings. But there's no doubt that that gravity is not. not understated. And when Stephans would pitch that as a reason why he was better than LeBron, even though it grossly overlooks all the other parts of basketball games, strictly speaking, they were right about what made him a better offensive player than LeBron. His ability to strike fear into defenses with his shooting to such a great extent that it generated offense at a higher level relative to surrounding talent than any player in the league in his prime. Very simply, the fear of his shooting created all these very simple dynamics. Ball screens.
Starting point is 00:20:36 He comes off of a ball screen. You cannot be even in a high drop. Boston tried that. Boston tried high drop coverage in the 2002 NBA finals and got cooked and lost. Steph just hit a bunch of contested threes over the top of bigs on the other side of ball screens. Can't do that. So you try blitzing. This is what the calves did in the 2015 finals.
Starting point is 00:20:59 It worked so effectively. It broke people's brains and a role player got finals MVP because they literally didn't understand what they were watching. As Steph was just dribbling into a ball screen, drawing to creating a four on three with Draymond in the short role and giving Andre Godala wide open dunks and corner threes. Like you're looking at his points per game as he's getting the finals MVP trophy and talking about his defense on LeBron, which like, I know, Andre Godaulah is the best LeBron defender I ever watch. So I'm not trying to undercut that specifically. But like, that wasn't why they
Starting point is 00:21:35 won the series. LeBron, there was a five-man effort defending LeBron. There was nobody else on the team that could score. So they just loaded up on him. And all those Andre Godala buckets were a beneficiary of Steph Curry constantly drawing a second defender at the level of ball screens in pick and roll. Off ball action. We've all seen the clips. When Steph Curry's on the floor, the Warriors get dunks. He run, we talked about that dribble handoff stat earlier. He hit, what, 54% on threes coming off of DHS. So guess what happens?
Starting point is 00:22:08 If a guy is going to get, you know, do your basic math there. What's that come out to almost 1.6 points per shot? It's fucking crazy. If a guy's going to get a 1.6 points per shot coming off of a dribble handoff, what are you going to do when he's coming off the dribble handoff? You're going to freak out and you're going to double him. Or you're going to make a mistake when it's supposed to be a switch and accidentally both of you will run with him.
Starting point is 00:22:36 And all of a sudden, that dude's going to have a wide open dunk. The Draymond Green fake handoff drive has been a staple in the Warriors defense or Warriors' offense forever. But whether it's running off of an offball screen, both guys run with step, Draymond hits Gary Payton cutting to the basket for a dunk or whatever it might be, there are countless examples, hundreds and hundreds of examples in Steph's career,
Starting point is 00:22:59 hundreds of examples just from last year where Steph just running around and being on the floor scared the shit out of the opposing defense so much that they botched a coverage so badly that they gave up a dunk. Even inverting spacing. One of the weirdest things about the Warriors build over the course of this year is like you get away with playing a guy like Dremont. And as Dremont has been kind of out of line with his antics
Starting point is 00:23:27 and said ridiculous shit, put players in headlocks and punch teammates and done all sorts of things that have caused his career to be kind of readdressed negatively. What does everyone say? Oh, well, Draymond couldn't play anywhere else. If you picked Raymond up and put him on another team, it wouldn't work. And like, here's the thing. I don't like dealing in those hypotheticals.
Starting point is 00:23:50 I always talk about your value to a basketball team is what you do for your basketball team. And the bottom line is, Draymond Green wasn't playing for the Washington Wizards and his, career. He was playing for the Golden State Warriors. He was playing alongside Steph and he was deeply profoundly valuable to what the Warriors did. But there's no doubt that his role on that team worked because of what Steph Curry did. Inverting spacing is a concept that I talk about on defense involving stretch fives and elite shooting, which involves anything that can pull the opposing center away from the basket.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Right. Any sort of traditional defensive spacing involves, okay, I beat my man off the dribble. There's a big guy waiting. Now I got to use him as a vertical spacer. And some of the best rim protectors, the Chet Home Grins, the Victor Wenimas, the Rudy Gober's, it's really difficult to take advantage of those vertical spacing lanes because they're so long at the basket that they kind of just shut everything down. within five feet of the rim.
Starting point is 00:24:59 So when you have the ability to invert spacing, and there's a bunch of different ways to do that, stretch fives, talked about the Carl Anthony Towns. He'll invert spacing by pulling fives away from the basket. Yokic will do it by being guarded with the ball. Like if Yokic is standing at the elbow, and he's got a triple threat, and he's got Rudy Gober on him,
Starting point is 00:25:17 and he's going like this and pump big jab step, pump big jab step, and Rudy's out away from the basket, that's what enables Christian Brown to get open on a back cut. and not have to contend with a rim protector when he gets there. And then the last kind of inverting spacing is using, if, if I can use my five, in this case, Dremont, as a screener. And the other team is so scared of Dremont setting a good screen and my, in that shooter getting
Starting point is 00:25:46 open that I have no choice but to send my big out constantly to the three point line, then he's not at the basket. and it creates a void there, which will result in all of the kinds of layups and dunks that we see the warriors get. He inverts spacing. We can talk about the top end. It's not quite there anymore. The athletic juice isn't what it used to be.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Steph is the days of him looking like what he looked like in the 2022 finals. I think those days are probably behind him. But in the large sample, the advantages are still there. the fear of his shooting, the bringing guys up in ball screens, the panic chasing him in any sort of off ball action, constantly inverting the spacing and pulling rim protectors away from the rim. The countless advantages, four on threes and one on zeros on backcuts that he generates just by simply being out there allows Steph over a large sample with mediocre to downright bad NBA level surrounding talent to be in elite offense, even at age 39, 38 last year,
Starting point is 00:26:58 or 39 this year. And even with all of the shortcomings as his body has started to betray him as he's gotten older. That to me is what put him in the top 10. I know the warriors aren't going to do shit this year. I doubt they make any sort of trade. I know like Brian Winnors is still hinting at the idea that they might do something. And God knows I hope they do. I want to see Steph Curry play with more talent. I really wanted LeBron to go there. He was my number one destination.
Starting point is 00:27:25 LeBron to Golden State. I wanted them to make a big trade, get LeBron. I wanted to watch Steph Curry and LeBron play in meaningful basketball again. But chances are it's not going to happen. Chances are it's going to be a very sad ending to the story. But that's not the purpose of this list. The purpose of this list is in a vacuum.
Starting point is 00:27:47 Which player gives me the best chance from October to June to win a championship? And Steph is still one of the 10 best players there because he is still one of the very best offensive engines in the entire NBA. I'd argue he's the very best offensive engine that's not, like it's between him and Tyrese Halliburton, who's the best offensive engine that's not one of those top end guys like the Lucas Shea Yokic group? and I would give the edge to step. Last thing I want to talk about is the knee.
Starting point is 00:28:24 Steph said so after the play and loss last year, that the knee is going to be just something that he's going to have to deal with moving forward. It's not a structural issue. It's a long-term wear and tear issue. And that means that, yeah, it's probably something he's going to have to deal with this year. It's a big part of why he's, you know, not six or seven,
Starting point is 00:28:43 but he's 10 on this list, right? Like if I felt like Steph was going to play 70 games, and easily hold up for a playoff run, I'd have him in the same conversation with Jalen Brunson. But obviously, that's not the case, and that's what pulls him down. The one thing I'll say about the knee is it's the most important, the most important reasoning behind the warriors needing
Starting point is 00:29:05 to make some sort of move to anchor this roster. Steph's knee wasn't a problem until Jimmy Butler went down and his workload went up, and he was asked to do too much. any talent you bring in that can help minimize Steph's workload can help minimize the long-term degradation of his knee. Whatever this era looks like, there's a finite number of,
Starting point is 00:29:29 there's a finite amount of juice that Steph has left. And you can make him use it dragging bad teams to the playing, or you can stretch that juice out over a larger sample in more important, situations by anchoring in with talent. And I just think it's going to be really sad if we get to Steph's retirement. And the Warriors have all their draft picks. Congratulations.
Starting point is 00:29:59 You did really well with those over the last 10 years. And Steph has nothing to show for these last few years. And the Warriors embark on a rebuild, which they've shown no ability to manage anyway. Steph is my second favorite player. I'm very excited that we get to watch and play basketball again this year. I wish it was under better circumstances, but it is what it is. I still think he's the 10th best basketball player in the world at this point.
