Steph Curry Proving You Don’t Need to Dominate the Ball to Dominate the NBA

Published: FEBRUARY 2, 2019

Source: bleacherreport.com

In 2015-16, Stephen Curry solidified himself as one of the most dominant offensive players in NBA history. With incredible handles, footwork and a heap of (warranted) arrogance, the 6’3″, mouthguard-chomping Davidson product revolutionized the game forever by weaponizing his off-the-dribble three-point shooting.

Curry proved he can dominate the league and win at a high level with the ball in his hands. But things change when your team adds two All-NBA talents to the mix in Kevin Durant and DeMarcus Cousins.

Giving up those kinds of touches may seem like a huge sacrifice, but Curry continues to feast because of his uncanny scoring ability as an off-ball threat.

Unsurprisingly, the Golden State Warriors’ acquisition of Durant in the summer of 2016 led to marked changes in Curry’s game. Though it isn’t represented in his usage rate, it’s affected how and where he’s getting his shots.

With Durant acting as more of an offensive focal point, Curry’s pull-up three-point shooting has steadily declined, while his catch-and-shoot three-point shooting has increased. During his MVP season, Curry shot 32.5 percent of his three-pointers off the bounce and only 24 percent off the catch. This year, he’s down pulling up only 23.8 percent of the time and shooting off the catch 34.5 percent of the time.

Getting more off-the-catch shots is a good thing. As is true for most players, Curry is more efficient on those attempts (45.7 percent compared to 44.3 percent). It isn’t as difficult for him to fire away after a pass with his feet set compared to shooting out of his dribbling pocket.

Even though Curry isn’t creating as many off-the-dribble shots for himself as he used to, the Warriors have figured out how to maximize him when he doesn’t have the ball.

Off-guards traditionally curl off pindown screens, which makes them a nightmare to guard. Curry, the NBA’s fourth-fastest moving player on offense this season, constantly puts pressure on defenses by forcing them to expend an exhausting amount of mental energy on him. Dancing around floppy screens and pin downs, he’ll explode out to the three-point line, where he needs less space than anyone to get a shot off.

The relocation three-pointer is a great example of this. Curry will enter the ball to the post or the elbow to allow Durant a chance at isolation. Meanwhile, Curry will cut toward the basket and relocate to one of the two corners.

“They were doing that before I came,” Warriors big man Jordan Bell explained. “He and Klay [Thompson] have really mastered that move. That’s just the natural reaction to when somebody moves the ball, you just naturally relax. I know people are aware of it now. Somebody passes it, they relax. If I don’t have a clear lane to the basket, I’m looking to pass.”

At some point, this went from a reaction to something the Warriors look for multiple times per game to get Curry an easy look from the short corner.

“It kind of all happens out of the flow of the offense,” Curry told reporters. “It’s really hard to come down and call a play or something to get there. It is an easier three, but it just happens in the flow where there’s ball movement and I’m off the ball or I can create in the paint, kick it out and relocate, whatever the case is. But the shots come in all different ways and forms. You just gotta be ready for whatever it is. Any time I get a good look, no matter where it is, I just let it go.”

Curry is shooting a sizzling 51.9 percent from the corners. There may not be a better shot in basketball.

“We don’t want to shoot threes just for the sake of it,” Durant told Bleacher Report. “We want to get good ones. But we also try to find other things inside the three-point line.”

With Curry, almost every shot he takes from that distance is a good one. But his shooting helps him dominate inside the arc as well.
