𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐏 > 𝐈𝐒𝐅𝐏 𝐀𝐫𝐠𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 ——— 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐒𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠: -> "His sense for objective facts is extraordinarily developed... He knows no better use for this sensed ‘experience’ than to make it serve as a guide to fresh sensations" (Jung) -> "People with this preference would tend to be particularly present in the moment, inclined to trust only what they can detect with their five senses" (Hunziker) -> "Se aims to attain an objective photograph, or actuality of what's there in the object's, concrete, explicit qualities." Steph interprets information by what he objectively senses, and adjusts accordingly. Listen to this breakdown of his viral clip vs. the Clippers in 2015: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/7mIMHJScFOg JJ: "You literally dribbled through them [the entire defense]." SC: "There was just so much traffic... and I just- you just go into autopilot." This propensity to turn one's brain off and instantly react to tangible reality is seen in many high Se users, and Steph is no exception. His Se is also what makes him the greatest off-ball player of all time. When you compare him to other off-ball greats like Reggie Miller or Ray Allen, Steph never stops moving. He uses his Se to constantly scan the floor for objective openings and read and react to defenders. Watch this clip of him schooling the Blazers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-Zjf8_pgJ4 Pause the clip at 0:17, and notice that as soon Dame turns his head, Steph backcuts. Then at 0:19, you'll see that there's a gap between Kevon Looney and Shaun Livingston, even though they both aren't really setting screens. However, Steph pounces on the opportunity and shoots through it. He then has the presence of mind to see that he has enough time to pump fake Dame, before hitting the 3. This read-and-react playstyle is Se at its finest. While we can all agree that Steph uses Se, he uses it far too frequently and naturally for it to be anything but his dominant function. ——— 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐓𝐢 > 𝐓𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠: -> "Like the extravert, he too will follow his ideas, but in the reverse direction: inwardly not outwardly" (Jung) -> "Ti makes reason/logic-based judgements using personal, subjective measures as a basis. it finds the most fulfillment in acting according to a logical system which applies to oneself and their context, i.e. what works for me." 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠: -> "Man whose constant aim—in so far, of course, as he is a pure type—is to bring his total life-activities into relation with intellectual conclusions, which in the last resort are always orientated by objective data, whether objective facts or generally valid ideas." (Jung) -> "Te makes reason/logic-based judgements using impersonal, collective, objective measures as a basis." Steph frequently filters information through his own set of subjective criteria. If you want the best example of this, look no further than his iconic double "bang!" game winner vs. OKC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEMVGHoenXM A Te user would've pushed the ball faster to look for a layup, as a layup has a higher chance of going in than a 30-footer. Steph's decision to pull up was done irrespective of objective standards, but based on his subjective logic. While this shot went in, he has a fair share of questionable shots, namely his missed 3 over Kevin Love in the '16 finals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC-mTgXRfm8 Instead of blowing by the slow-footed Love and going for the more efficient layup, he subjectively chose to shoot a contested 3, even though the Dubs didn't need to go for one at that point. ——— 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐅𝐞 > 𝐅𝐢 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠: -> "Depends wholly upon the ideals, conventions, and customs of the environment, and is extensive rather than deep." (Myers) -> "Fe makes value-based judgements using impersonal, collective, objective measurements... i.e. what is best for everyone." 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠: -> Adapts the objective situation to the individual by the simple process of excluding or ignoring the unacceptable." (Myers) -> "Fi makes value-based judgements using personal, subjective measurements as a basis. it finds the most fulfillment in acting in full congruence with one's values and identity, i.e. what is best for oneself." When you watch Fi players like Kyrie, KD, or Luka, you'll see that they have a preference for how THEY value things, which doesn't come from any external measures. For example, when KD went to the Dubs, he was largely the same KD as he was in OKC, and retained much of his playstyle as well. This is the opposite of Steph. His emotional standards are derived directly from his environment. In game 4 of last year's finals, Draymond said Steph became much more vocal and trash talk-y to ease the crowd's attention off of him.
