i think ur better than both as a саtсһ and ѕһoot guy off the ball which showed this year when u got to play next to other creators (bron reaves)
but i think steph is just the most elite at both facets of ѕһootіпɡ”
@YoungReela responded: “Mmmmm Dame off the dribble is underrated. At the prime of his powers, the 3 Level Scoring was insane. He could get to anywhere with either hand. You get pretty hot off catch and shoot. CJ I love him but he don’t belong here. Steph is Steph with no elaboration needed LMAO”
