The Day Steph Changed the Rules
Before the MVPs, before the four championships, there was this night at the Garden.
In this episode of “Anatomy of the Game,” Ben Taylor of Thinking Basketball revisits Steph Curry’s 54-point eruption against the Knicks in February 2013—a glimpse of the superstar who would change how basketball is played and defended.
Ben breaks down how Curry punished New York’s drop coverage and the space defenders gave him beyond the arc, revealing why defensive approaches that once seemed reasonable at the time would soon become impossible to use going forward.

Call me crazy but I think steph curry had a bigger impact than michael jordan on the way the game is played. Teams weren't revolutionizing and completely transforming their offenses in MJ's time. It was still a center dominated league
nice new video
Curry 👨🍳
death, taxes, and more Carl Landry post-ups lol
As a Knicks fan I'll never forget this game. This is the day I knew the Warriors had something special
he Purposely left turns his right foot before his every 3 point shot
Draymond was also put in #Shaqtin with the clip at 31:07 😂 it was funny
a guy explaining plays and how the nba games goes around is amazing , aswell as tackling mistakes and made to understand for the normal audience is absolutely wonderful
Is there a playlist for all of these?
Still underrated.
mark Jackson somewhere catching every stray possible lol
curry went from 7.9 3PA in 2013-14 in Jackson's last year to….8.1 in Kerr's first year, why is ben acting like Kerr all of sudden discovered the secret of 3 point shooting when he took over lmao.
if Kevin Love put you in Guantanamo Bay and snatched a ring off you, i don't wanna see no documentaries about you fam ✌️😂
The perfect thing to put together in the off-season. MORE!
This game + the playoff series vs the nuggets
That Klay-to-Steph and vice versa screening is what Steve separates from Mark. There is really no stopping that especially before Klay's injuries.
I love that Kmart is part of this Knicks, yet he still talks so much shit about the Warriors. LOL
I love these videos, and I think LeBron's Game 7 against Boston in 2008 (and even the way they defended him, which was also brilliant) would make for a great topic
It can't be said enough how violently allergic coaches were to Curry's style of play. At every level from Peewees to Pros, taking a 3 point shot in transition was an automatic benching or at least a glare from the coach.
Have I watched multiple breakdowns of this game? Yes. Have I seen all of thinking basketball’s videos on Steph? Yes. Am I watching this entire 37 min video? Yes.
Wow great video enjoyed it
curry became truly lethal when he stopped trying to be the point guard of the team
😂😂😂 at 12:50 you hear the announcer saying “Dell Curry will probably go down as the best shooter in the family” 🤣🤣
This was the game that made me a Curry fan!
GOAT.
"a classic mistake worse than getting into a land war in Asia" 🤣
bring back offensive peaks for John wall, Tracy Mcgrady, Chris Paul, Gilbert arenas, Paul George, Joe Johnson, Dwayne wade
The GOAT was born
30:11 he said the thing
I did not know the Knicks Won great breakdown Thinking Basketball
This is a huge turning point in NBA history, the best pg in history Jkidd looks old and the splash brother arrive.
18:44 "worse than getting into a land war in asia" 😭
His shot is so good his shot fake has defenders flying around the court having anxiety attacks mid-air
I like how this guy is not only complementing curry but instead he also focuses on what curry still lacked back in the day
How shitty is this offense 😂
