We all heard the interview yesterday. Kevin Durant took a shot at the defense from Steph Curry and his inability to guard the best point guards.
The general media and fans around the country have this general conception that Curry is not good on the defensive end. There's been no doubt that he puts in the effort, but his skills defensively are what is concerning. Kevin Durant of all people decided to actually come out and judge him. He stood up for Russell Westbrook as he believes Curry has no chance to guard him. But, that might not be true at all.
Twitter's @bballbreakdown decided to look at each shot, assist, turnover, and foul drawn with Steph Curry guarding him. Watch the video below:
Thru 5gms, Every Steph on Russ FGA, AST, TO, Foul Drawn
FGs: 9/25
AST: 17
TO: 8
FD: 5
Blow Bys: 8 out of 55 clipshttps://t.co/8WbuoJCJHa— BBALLBREAKDOWN (@bballbreakdown) May 27, 2016
From that video, it truly seems like Steph Curry played some remarkable defense against Russell. Westbrook was forced to take a good amount of tough shots. In Game 6, it'll be interesting to see if Steph's solid defense becomes more clear to everyone when they watch him next time.
