Former NBA player Tim Thomas recently shared his perspective on how Steph Curry's style of play has fundamentally transformed the league. Thomas explained that today’s game is heavily focused on jump shots and three-pointers, a shift largely inspired by Curry’s incredible shooting ability. "You go to an NBA game now, you’re liable to see between both teams taking 63-point shots," Thomas said, highlighting the loss of creativity and isolation plays from earlier eras. He noted that players like Kyrie Irving, known for breaking down defenders one-on-one, are becoming rarer, replaced by a faster, European-style ball movement emphasizing outside shooting over post play or mid-range shots. Thomas credits Curry for his gift as a smaller player but argues that changing rules have made the game softer and less physical than in his playing days. Despite the shift, Thomas appreciates Curry’s impact while lamenting the decline of traditional basketball skills.
