Yet out of those point guards who have a post game and lockdown defensive strings - which ones have an elite handle, elite shooting, elite scoring and elite playmaking ability too?Steph doesn't have the best skillset of all-time. What Steph has is a very good/great skillset, and ONE skill that is so exceptionally high that it elevates everything else. And he also utilizes his skillset to the highest level.
I mean, what about their actual SKILLSETS (not their overall skill, but the set of skills the have) differentiates Stephen Curry from Steve Nash or Mark Price?
There are point guards who have a post game and a lockdown defensive aspect; Curry does not have that. Doesn't necessarily even mean they're better than him.
Curry may not have a skillset where he can do EVERYTHING that goes on in the game, but he probably has the best one, simply for the fact that this is the greatest period of PGs in history and he's the best one doing it. Never has the position been as rich with talent and ability; it's typically been a low-end role with players who simply just facilitate.
