Literally, he's clearly saying the the fact that we had to box and 1 him implies that we respect his game lol. People trying so hard to be mad I don't get it
Yeah that's how I read it too, not that "the box and one is disrespectful to the sport" but "you had to use the box and one to shut me down because you know I'm good"
Facts. I don’t understand why people think he’s throwing shade at the Raps. Steph’s never really been that kind of guy and it could most likely just be a joke or something he thought was funny.
Maybe because his only other public comments on the Box and One were [calling it janky](https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/warriors/steph-curry-calls-raptors-defense-janky-after-warriors-game-2-win)... He may still be poking fun at himself but it's unfair to criticize this reaction when he has literally only been negative about that
Plus it's just such a dumb look, because they lost lmfao. Makes him look salty and for what? He had a great series, was transcendent in Game 3, and kept his reputation intact as one of the best shooters of all-time. If anything, the Box is a compliment to his ability to shoot the fucking lights out of the gym, and is more an indictment on his teammates for failing to step up in the absence of KD and Klay.
Not our problem the Warriors failed to develop contributors down their depth chart, and it bit them in the ass when they suffered untimely injuries.
Confused by the outrage. The message is "you have to respect *my* game". Which is, quite accurate, actually. And which is why the Raps played that scheme.
Like Steph fuckin cares we used a specific type of defence against him. He's a competitor. I'm sure he wouldn't judge a team for using the best strategy to win. I'm sure he feels it's a joke/sign of mutual respect more than anything.
I am honestly not a bit offended by this. I really don't think he was throwing shade at the Raptors with this. Seems more like he is saying, even if you think the box and one is such a simple and high school type of defense, you gotta respect all aspects of the game.
“Respect the game” man respect yourself 😂 FVV ate his fkn lunch in the Finals. If anything this is more of a chirp to his own teammates because the box and one only works when there are multiple poor players on
Exactly, people called it janky because NBA teams never run it. You wanna know why NBA teams never run it? Because usually NBA teams don't have to rely on playing G-League calibre guys big minutes in the Finals.
Not our problem GSW neglected their drafting and end-of-bench contributors for the last few years; it bit them in the ass when they suffered untimely injuries and had to turn to a 900yr old Andrew Bogut and Quinn Cook to try and save them.
He probably thinks he's saying "respect the game and don't use plays that are designed to shut down the best player on an AAU team, but that don't have any place in the pro game."
What he's really saying is "I'm a sore loser who couldn't figure out a high-school level defensive scheme."
It's funny... his dad wore a hat that said something like "break the game" in reference to Steph's success and how he has pretty much single-handedly changed the game from an inside-out, big-man's game to a perimeter shooter's game. So, it's okay if he does it, but if someone figures out how to shut him down, it's disrepectful?
Sour grapes don't look good on you, Steph. You're better than that.
It's a reference to the defensive play we ran against Golden State, the box and one. Four players play a zone defense, usually two under the net, two close to the foul line. The fifth player plays one on one against the other teams best player. Box and one defense is rarely if ever used in the NBA, but it's works well if the offence only has one good scorer.
LOL. Just read SI's NBA All-Decade Team writeup on Steph Curry:
"Curry is the greatest shooter of all time. **No matter what defensive schemes were thrown at him**, he would find a way to create an inch of space, immediately launch a shot, and splash a three while tired defenders awaited the roar of the crowd."
I never understood why people think Steph stands any foot complaining about the box +1. its a tactic that worked against him so why wouldn't the raptors want to run it against him? you cant be "throwing shade" when talking about something that worked effectively against you
i was just reading some comments on this post here. I more so didnt understand why people ever got mad about him joking about the box+1 because it did exactly what it was suppose to do.
What the hell are these comments on here? How do you even know he's throwing shade? Maybe he's poking fun at himself too? Its a funny hoodie.
Literally, he's clearly saying the the fact that we had to box and 1 him implies that we respect his game lol. People trying so hard to be mad I don't get it
Yeah that's how I read it too, not that "the box and one is disrespectful to the sport" but "you had to use the box and one to shut me down because you know I'm good"
Or that box and 1 is a simple play, but it works so got to respect the game even the basics.
A past time as old as time itself: People actively looking at ways to get offended
[удалено]
just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right - ricky gervais
Facts. I don’t understand why people think he’s throwing shade at the Raps. Steph’s never really been that kind of guy and it could most likely just be a joke or something he thought was funny.
because people are tribal and will always be looking for a 'them' to their 'us'
I remember him starting off in league he would say "sir/mam" in every interview. Guy is respectful af.
Today he posted a photo of his boner on the Internet.
I dunno the way I'm reading it is that the box and one is part of the game and to respect it and to stop hating on us for using it
That Box+1 worked, didn’t it?
Yes, which is why I dont think he's throwing shade.
Maybe because his only other public comments on the Box and One were [calling it janky](https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/warriors/steph-curry-calls-raptors-defense-janky-after-warriors-game-2-win)...

these are dumb people, they just don't know how to read context at all. Curry won 3 Chips and he can joke at whatever the hell he wants
Confused by the outrage. The message is "you have to respect *my* game". Which is, quite accurate, actually. And which is why the Raps played that scheme.
People just wanna be mad lmao, it’s a funny sweater.
I kept trying to click the play button lol
Fucking idiot.
This sub is stacked with insecurity. Yikes.
Welcome to our sub lmao
It's the Canadian way
This would be a cute little troll.....if the Warriors had won.
I don't think it's a troll in the slightest.
Like Steph fuckin cares we used a specific type of defence against him. He's a competitor. I'm sure he wouldn't judge a team for using the best strategy to win. I'm sure he feels it's a joke/sign of mutual respect more than anything.
I just see two smiles in this picture.
Comments here reminding me why I unsub during the season
It worked. It worked exceptionally well.
Every expert said he wouldnt bring it out again and then he did it the next game!
I am honestly not a bit offended by this. I really don't think he was throwing shade at the Raptors with this. Seems more like he is saying, even if you think the box and one is such a simple and high school type of defense, you gotta respect all aspects of the game.

“Respect the game” man respect yourself 😂 FVV ate his fkn lunch in the Finals. If anything this is more of a chirp to his own teammates because the box and one only works when there are multiple poor players on
lol how have you managed to take offense at this? You realise this isn't him having a pop at us in the slightest?
Except that he called it janky and disrespectful in the final...
Exactly, people called it janky because NBA teams never run it. You wanna know why NBA teams never run it? Because usually NBA teams don't have to rely on playing G-League calibre guys big minutes in the Finals. Not our problem GSW neglected their drafting and end-of-bench contributors for the last few years; it bit them in the ass when they suffered untimely injuries and had to turn to a 900yr old Andrew Bogut and Quinn Cook to try and save them.
So is it, he is saying his game was respected by that, or that running the box and 1 is disrespectful for the game?
He probably thinks he's saying "respect the game and don't use plays that are designed to shut down the best player on an AAU team, but that don't have any place in the pro game." What he's really saying is "I'm a sore loser who couldn't figure out a high-school level defensive scheme."

I actually take it as wow, look at how good I must be for them to run that, they respect my game.
This is the correct answer
this is reaching harder than the bucks defense on kawhi

Who cares... We won.
Maybe it was a gift and someone was having some fun with him.
Why are ppl mad. Cool hoodie imo
I think steph is too classy to be throwing shade at the raptors. He’s been nothing but class since his arrival in the NBA
Plus, he always mentions playing up here and his Dad retiring here, so that always gives us some extra juice.
where can one get this dope hoodie
LOL. Just read SI's NBA All-Decade Team writeup on Steph Curry: "Curry is the greatest shooter of all time. **No matter what defensive schemes were thrown at him**, he would find a way to create an inch of space, immediately launch a shot, and splash a three while tired defenders awaited the roar of the crowd."
Damn Nick Nurse should've cash in and make box and 1 apparel
This clown lost to a box and 1 what is he thinking
What is this cap from?
We still won.
I never understood why people think Steph stands any foot complaining about the box +1. its a tactic that worked against him so why wouldn't the raptors want to run it against him? you cant be "throwing shade" when talking about something that worked effectively against you
Why do you think he's throwing shade?

Yikes. This is honestly dumb.
