1.Madison Bumgarner 2014 playoffs and WS. Nothing else comes close.
2. McCaffrey. Rose Bowl.
3. Ronnie Lott versus Giants. Monday night game. Niners win 7-3. One of the best football games I’ve ever seen.
4. Curry. Game 4 vs Celtics. A talking head was trying to compare Curry to a player from the past. He couldn’t. To me it takes two - Pete Maravich with the ball. John Havlicek without the ball. Maravich invented some of the dribbling drills Curry uses. And had there been a three point shot since he was a kid (as opposed to late in his career) he’d have been unreal. Heck at LSU he’d pull up from half court. CBS did a documentary on him. The footage was unreal. Plus remember, he had to dribble with his hand on top of the ball and there was no Euro step. Saw him live a couple times in his prime. Man he was fun to watch. (“Pistol” is a great book on him for those interested. I remember that one of the things he’d do is dribble a basketball out the window while Press drove.)
Hondo, while in my mind slightly overrated, was one of the best off ball offensive players ever. Perpetual motion.
What makes Curry special is he is great both with and off ball. That is very rare.
Great call. Greatest performance by a Stanford defensive player that Ive seen. Live actually. One of my favorite memories. Down 16-0 before we settled in. 32 unanswered…..But of course, midterms…….
