What version of Steph do you think is the best? (alien.top)

2016, 2021, and maybe 2017 and 2019 are the versions of Steph that immediately come to mind as peak Steph years.

Even though Steph got his Finals MVP in 2022, he had his worst regular season since like 2013, and his overall playoff numbers weren't quite as good as some of his other years so I probably wouldn't say this was peak Steph.

2016 Steph regular season is an offensive masterclass.

30ppg leading the league in scoring while leading the league in efficiency as well at 67% True Shooting. His 3pt shooting has been elite in all of those years but 2016 was one of his best finishing years. Super shifty at getting downhill and hitting nearly 70% efficiency near the basket.

On top of being a walking 4v3 for his team as he picks up defenders onto the perimeter that opens the paint for players like Iggy to get free 2 pointers

The highest volume 50-40-90 season

Sitting out fourth quarters too

It’s tough to say because yes, the numbers were the best of his career, and 73 wins is absolutely insane. But so much of that was abusing the shit out of slow big men on switches, which you don’t get as many opportunities anymore. Lot more single coverage back then as well. Since the 2019 finals when KD was hurt, the league completely changed how they guarded him.
