Why is the 37-year-old Curry still so hard to defend against? A technique that distinguishes him from Jokozhan

Many fans may be very puzzled why Curry's ordinary physical talent is still so difficult to defend at the age of 37. Curry is still averaging 24.5 points per game this season, ranking 11th in the league in points per game. In addition, he still shot 39.7 percent from three-point range. Curry's form doesn't look like he's showing signs of a big dip. Even many fans believe that Curry can play in the league for another five years.

Why did he debut almost at the same time as Curry, and why did players like Harden decline so quickly? In fact, it comes down to a technology that sets Curry apart from many superstars, even from top supergiants like Jordan, Kobe Bryant and James. Allowing him to score at the age of 37 is his top-notch off-ball ability.

There are a lot of stars in the league who are very good with the ball, they have very top ball handling skills, but there are a lot of players who don't have great off-ball ability. There may be only a few people who are top players on the ball and off-ball ability, and Curry is the most outstanding representative. For example, although Thompson is very good off the ball, he is not very good on the ball.

The ability to be off the ball should be dismantled and explained from two perspectives. These two angles are the ability to run and the ability to catch and shoot. If you're very good at catching and shooting, but not good at running, you're not a top off-ball master. The most valuable thing about Curry is that he can run non-stop throughout the game, and his physical fitness can make many opponents surrender. What's more, he is extremely fast in receiving and shooting, which is the main reason why he has widened the gap between other players. There are many top off-ball players in history, such as Ray Allen, Redick or Korver, to name a few. But there's a noticeable difference in their shooting speed compared to Curry, which is why they're not as accurate as Curry.

Overall, Curry's strong off-ball ability is the main reason why he can still score explosively at this age. Because Curry is currently 37 years old, his offensive ability with the ball has indeed declined very significantly. Because he doesn't change direction as much as he did when he was younger, it is difficult to create much space to shoot. So the ability to run without the ball has become a magic weapon for Curry, and it is difficult to crack this magic weapon. Because the Warriors have a strong system for Curry to support and have good cover quality. That's why Curry is still the league's top scorer at 37. Maybe at 40 he can still play like this.
