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.

I think 2022 Steph is significantly better.

In 2016, he was a decent chunk faster but more importantly the league still was uncertain about the best way to guard him. By 2022 a lot more guys had gotten a lot more reps against him and he still dominated them. 22 Steph also made way fewer mistakes.

I think it depends on what “better” is defined as. 2016 is better in that he was farther ahead of the league at the time. But skills and ability wise, 2022 was better

I legitimately thought the Celtics would have an answer for him but he absolutely fucking dominated us., he was always my favorite player in the league so it was brutal watching him dismantle my team
