Yeah, this is my reaction any time someone says Curry has fallen off - in the last year or two, you could start to make a legitimate argument, but any time before that, dude’s scoring has stayed at almost the same level as his MVP seasons despite the entire NBA rejiggering how it plays defense to try to stop him from getting open. You look at how these shots are contested compared to the coverages he was getting in ‘22 and tell me how that dude fell off in any way in those 6 years.
I’d say he did in the championship game — but he actually struggled through a lot of that Olympics, and was just starting to look like himself in the last couple games
He also dropped 36 in the semi finals in a game USA trailed almost the entire game. He has definitely regressed some, but I'd also argue Steph is so unique in his play style it takes even high IQ guys time to learn how to play with him on offense.
