  • 00:00:24
    the Houston Rockets manhandle him for 32
  • 00:00:27
    straight minutes and still the refs
  • 00:00:30
    refused to give him a single free throw

    an offensive foul an offensive foul an
  • 00:03:39
    offensive foul
  • 00:03:42
    if there's one great mystery I can't
  • 00:03:44
    wrap my head around as an NBA fan it's
  • 00:03:47
    this why do NBA referees seem to hate
  • 00:03:51
    Steph Curry this is the greatest shooter
  • 00:03:54
    the game has ever seen never dirty never
  • 00:03:57
    over the top arguably the most ethical
  • 00:04:00
    bucket getter of his
  • 00:04:02
    generation and yet for some reason the
  • 00:04:06
    refs act like he doesn't deserve a
  • 00:04:07
    whistle it's bad it's really really bad
  • 00:04:11
    and I'm dead serious if I'm the Golden
  • 00:04:12
    State
  • 00:04:15
    Warriors Steph gets clobbered out there
  • 00:04:18
    every game and the only people who can
  • 00:04:20
    do something about it they stand there
  • 00:04:23
    like statues swallow the whistle and
  • 00:04:26
    give that nothing to see here look like
  • 00:04:29
    we all didn't just watch number 30 get
  • 00:04:31
    hammered steph Curry gets hit on the
  • 00:04:34
    head on a three-point shot like that's
  • 00:04:36
    that needs to be called you know
  • 00:04:39
    just the other night I watched Dylan
  • 00:04:41
    Brooks plow through him on a three and
  • 00:04:44
    nothing two days earlier Michael Porter
  • 00:04:47
    Jr runs up behind him on another three
  • 00:04:51
    again no call it's ridiculous it's
  • 00:04:56
    infuriating but what makes it even worse
  • 00:04:58
    is seeing these same refs turn around
  • 00:05:01
    and hand out whistles to guys like Shay
  • 00:05:03
    Gilis Alexander at the slightest touch i
  • 00:05:07
    mean you breathe down his back he's at
  • 00:05:09
    the line you enter his airspace that's
  • 00:05:12
    two shots
  • 00:05:14
    guaranteed but with Steph it's radio
  • 00:05:19
    silence at first I thought maybe I was
  • 00:05:22
    just
  • 00:05:23
    overreacting maybe it was biased maybe I
  • 00:05:26
    was just seeing what I wanted to see so
  • 00:05:29
    I decided to check the numbers to
  • 00:05:31
    actually know
  • 00:05:33
    that's why I looked at a full decade's
  • 00:05:35
    worth of data and checked how often
  • 00:05:37
    other top guards of Steph's era cracked
  • 00:05:39
    the top 10 in free throws made per
  • 00:05:41
    season here's what I found bradley Beal
  • 00:05:45
    two times trey Young six times damen
  • 00:05:49
    Lillard seven
  • 00:05:51
    times now take a second think about
  • 00:05:55
    Steph Curry the engine of the Warriors
  • 00:05:57
    offense touches the ball almost every
  • 00:06:01
    possession twice in the last decade
  • 00:06:04
    Steph ranked second in the league in
  • 00:06:06
    field goal attempts not just among
  • 00:06:08
    guards
  • 00:06:10
    overall so with all that volume how many
  • 00:06:13
    times do you think Steph cracked the top
  • 00:06:15
    10 in free throw attempts if you said
  • 00:06:18
    three you're wrong six or seven like
  • 00:06:22
    other perennial Allstars still wrong
  • 00:06:25
    eight then get ready to be surprised
  • 00:06:29
    because the real answer is
  • 00:06:32
    zero yes you heard that right steph
  • 00:06:35
    Curry has never finished in the top 10
  • 00:06:38
    for free throw attempts not
  • 00:06:41
    once how is that even possible a
  • 00:06:45
    superstar in constant motion bumped
  • 00:06:48
    grabbed chased every night and yet he's
  • 00:06:51
    never cracked the top 10 in free throw
  • 00:06:53
    attempts is it because he doesn't sell
  • 00:06:56
    contact because he's a jump shooter or
  • 00:07:00
    is it something deeper on the Golden
  • 00:07:02
    State Warriors I am compiling a weekly
  • 00:07:04
    montage of blown foul calls against my
  • 00:07:07
    superstar and I'm sending them not to
  • 00:07:08
    the league office i'm sending them to
  • 00:07:10
    Adam Silver's direct
  • 00:07:12
    account the internet is flooded with
  • 00:07:15
    outraged fans post after post thread
  • 00:07:18
    after thread all calling this utterly
  • 00:07:21
    ridiculous and it's not just fans either
  • 00:07:25
    sports commentators analysists they see
  • 00:07:28
    it too the amount of disrespect and the
  • 00:07:30
    lack of foul calls for a guy that is
  • 00:07:33
    going to be top 10 greatest to ever do
  • 00:07:36
    it when it's all said and done blows my
  • 00:07:39
    mind
  • 00:07:41
    with all this in mind one question still
  • 00:07:44
    kept burning what if Steph Curry
  • 00:07:46
    actually got a fair
  • 00:07:48
    whistle would he be clearly better than
  • 00:07:50
    LeBron a more unstoppable scorer than
  • 00:07:54
    Kobe would he have a real chase to
  • 00:07:56
    challenge Michael Jordan as the
  • 00:07:59
    GOAT i'm not here to answer that but I
  • 00:08:02
    am here to show you something that might
  • 00:08:03
    change the way you see Steph Curry
  • 00:08:07
    forever so I checked every game from
  • 00:08:10
    2021 to now where Steph took 10 or more
  • 00:08:13
    free throws just to see how he'd stack
  • 00:08:15
    up if he got the same free throw
  • 00:08:16
    merchant treatment
  • 00:08:19
    in those games he averaged 12.04 free
  • 00:08:22
    throw attempts per night that's slightly
  • 00:08:25
    more than peak James Harden in 2020 at
  • 00:08:28
    11.8 per game slightly more than MVP
  • 00:08:32
    Joel Embiid in 2022 also at
  • 00:08:36
    11.8 so what happens if Steph Curry gets
  • 00:08:40
    that kind of whistle every
  • 00:08:42
    night first let's put it in context
  • 00:08:47
    lebron's highest free throw season 10.3
  • 00:08:50
    attempts 31 points per game kobe 10.2
  • 00:08:54
    attempts 35 points mj 11.9 attempts 37
  • 00:09:01
    points per
  • 00:09:02
    game now here's the cold hard truth if
  • 00:09:06
    Steph Curry averaged 12.04 free throws
  • 00:09:09
    per game night in night out he'd
  • 00:09:12
    averaged 39 points per game
  • 00:09:16
    39 that would literally make him the
  • 00:09:19
    highest scoring player in a single
  • 00:09:21
    season in the modern
  • 00:09:22
    era and that's when it clicked for me
  • 00:09:26
    that this wasn't just about basketball
  • 00:09:28
    anymore it was about something much much
  • 00:09:40
    bigger why is the NBA disrespecting
  • 00:09:43
    Steph Curry i sat with that question for
  • 00:09:46
    a long time in addition I've read the
  • 00:09:49
    fan theories followed the discussions
  • 00:09:51
    and the more I looked into it the more a
  • 00:09:54
    pattern started to emerge nike has
  • 00:09:57
    officially extended their partnership in
  • 00:09:59
    the basketball world there's no
  • 00:10:02
    definitive proof but once you understand
  • 00:10:04
    the machine behind the NBA things start
  • 00:10:07
    to add up let's start with something
  • 00:10:10
    simple steph Curry is signed with Under
  • 00:10:12
    Armour to get to this day um this is a
  • 00:10:15
    dream come true a brand that's been
  • 00:10:18
    behind me from from day one
  • 00:10:21
    now consider this nike isn't just
  • 00:10:23
    another brand they're the NBA's largest
  • 00:10:26
    apparel partner and by many accounts
  • 00:10:29
    their most powerful
  • 00:10:30
    ally and in 2024 Nike didn't just renew
  • 00:10:35
    their NBA deal they locked in another 12
  • 00:10:38
    years through 2037
  • 00:10:41
    the details kept under wraps but
  • 00:10:44
    insiders say it's worth multiple
  • 00:10:48
    billions this isn't just a sponsorship
  • 00:10:51
    anymore it's an alliance and Nike's most
  • 00:10:54
    important assets they're NBA
  • 00:10:57
    athletes now picture this steph Curry an
  • 00:11:02
    under arour athlete starts lighting up
  • 00:11:04
    the league dropping 40 a night on 70%
  • 00:11:06
    true shooting not because he changed his
  • 00:11:09
    game again but because he finally
  • 00:11:11
    started getting the same whistle those
  • 00:11:13
    Nike stars get what happens
  • 00:11:16
    then suddenly the spotlight shifts
  • 00:11:19
    nike's headliners lose their grip on the
  • 00:11:22
    next generation who begin rocking
  • 00:11:24
    Curry's kicks and buying Under Armour
  • 00:11:27
    instead my favorite is definitely the
  • 00:11:30
    Curry 2 this wouldn't just be a branding
  • 00:11:33
    issue for Nike it'd be an existential
  • 00:11:36
    threat so here's the theory nike and the
  • 00:11:40
    NBA share an interest in keeping Steph's
  • 00:11:43
    dominance just a little in check not
  • 00:11:46
    erased just human a few fewer whistles a
  • 00:11:52
    couple less free throws enough to still
  • 00:11:54
    keep the numbers impressive but not
  • 00:11:57
    mythical because if Steph ever got the
  • 00:12:00
    same whistle as someone like SGA he
  • 00:12:03
    wouldn't just be the greatest shooter of
  • 00:12:04
    all time he'd be the most unstoppable
  • 00:12:07
    player of all time and suddenly the face
  • 00:12:11
    of the league would be wearing Under
  • 00:12:16
    Armour but that's just one side of it
  • 00:12:19
    here's the other layer lebron
  • 00:12:22
    James for over a decade they've invested
  • 00:12:25
    heavily in pushing LeBron as their heir
  • 00:12:27
    to Jordan espn revolves around him he
  • 00:12:31
    starred in Space Jam 2 the GOAT
  • 00:12:34
    conversation somehow always loops back
  • 00:12:36
    to him despite him and Curry now having
  • 00:12:39
    the same number of rings
  • 00:12:42
    why because Nike bet a billion dollars
  • 00:12:45
    on LeBron literally well according to
  • 00:12:48
    one of James' business partners it could
  • 00:12:50
    be somewhere in the $1 billion
  • 00:12:53
    range now if Steph starts pulling in 10
  • 00:12:57
    free throws a night and puts up
  • 00:12:58
    legendary numbers while winning it
  • 00:13:01
    doesn't just threaten LeBron's legacy it
  • 00:13:04
    threatens Nike's billion dollar
  • 00:13:07
    gamble now some will point out that Joel
  • 00:13:10
    Embiid gets to the line a lot and he's
  • 00:13:13
    also Under Armour others like Harden
  • 00:13:16
    Trey Young or Lillard all Adidas rack up
  • 00:13:19
    free throws too but here's the
  • 00:13:23
    difference none of them are in the
  • 00:13:25
    position to challenge LeBron's legacy no
  • 00:13:28
    rings no dynasties no real
  • 00:13:31
    threat steph is different he can
  • 00:13:34
    challenge that legacy and he already has
  • 00:13:38
    and that's why many believe this is the

    real reason Steph Curry doesn't get the
  • 00:13:43
    whistle not because he flops less not
  • 00:13:46
    because he plays differently but because
  • 00:13:48
    giving him that whistle could change the
  • 00:13:50
    balance of power on the court and in the
  • 00:13:53
    business of
  • 00:13:55
    basketball because at the heart of it
  • 00:13:57
    this was never just about fouls it was
  • 00:14:00
    about protecting a billion brand
  • 00:14:06
    going through all this made me see Steph
  • 00:14:08
    Curry in a completely different light he
  • 00:14:11
    was doubted in college undervalued in
  • 00:14:13
    the draft he didn't fit the mold too
  • 00:14:16
    small too skinny too different but he
  • 00:14:20
    just kept showing up kept working kept
  • 00:14:22
    refining his craft not chasing attention
  • 00:14:26
    just getting so good the game couldn't
  • 00:14:28
    ignore him and now he's reached a point
  • 00:14:32
    where the only way to stop him is to
  • 00:14:35
    nerf him not with a double team not with
  • 00:14:38
    strategy but by tweaking the rules and
  • 00:14:41
    swallowing the whistle because if he got
  • 00:14:44
    the same calls as everyone else he
  • 00:14:46
    wouldn't just win he'd dominate
  • 00:14:49
    embarrass the system make the big dogs
  • 00:14:52
    look small and honestly that made me
  • 00:14:55
    think
  • 00:14:57
    steph's story proves there's no real
  • 00:14:59
    ceiling not when you work hard and smart
  • 00:15:02
    you can get so good so undeniable that
  • 00:15:06
    even if they nerf you you're still right
  • 00:15:08
    there at the summit this isn't just
  • 00:15:11
    Steph's story it's a reminder for all of
  • 00:15:13
    us get so good they try to hold you back
  • 00:15:16
    then show them that wasn't your peak
  • 00:15:23
