  1. Interesting SGA and Joker aren’t on this list. Please explain. They’re less of a shot making threat and more of an assist threat?

  2. whatever this scale is, it ain’t that close. If everybody else’s gravity is a small mountain, then Steph’s gravity is in the stratosphere. That;s more like it.

  3. It also helps the rest of his team other than Jimmy is hot mess. So if you pile on Curry, his team isn’t as likely to beat you as previous versions of GSW.

  4. This is wrong. Curry has around the 40th lowest gravity in the entire NBA. AJ Johnson has the least gravity and Zach Edey has the most.

  5. Teams are all of a sudden giving more attention to SGA and they’ve lost a few recently. I feel teams have already figured out how to at least slow Curry a bit so when guys like Edwards and SGA need to be slowed there is already a blueprint in place. Teams just got to figure out any subtleties to adjust for each player.

  6. Gravity is good thank you curry only problem is team needs to work on hitting those open 3s.

  7. I really hate trying to make gravity a stat i dont think its quantifiable you have to watch the games to see its effect

  8. It’s the shooting threat if they don’t go after him he’s dropping 40 with 4 free throws

  9. Put all 5 of those guys on the same team and Steph consistently will draw multiple defenders.

    It’s Steph >>>>>>>>everyone else

  10. All ridiculous efficient volume 3 point shooters. Think defenses tend to sag off even efficient superstars like Jokic and Shai on the perimeter

  11. Whatever metrics or methodology they used to even come up with this, I don’t doubt they know what they are doing but I’d like to actually see how they do it before passing judgement.

    Likely just doing this so that they can falsely give it to another player in the future.

    Steph has the most gravity, but I dont think it’s by just 2 points in whatever metric they are using. I’d also like to see how this applies to Steph in his earlier career
