different teams and play styles
and they don't double team curry unless scrubs are in

Curry only does what he does cause of his team

low-key it's cause of Draymond
also Klay cause you can't double both

4 out of every 5 players on the floor at a given time can shoot and pass. There are times where Curry doesn't even play that much because the bench is still lighting people up. Shaun Livingston has transformed into a post-up nightmare for smaller guards on this team and Curry has a backcourt teammate that can singlehandedly get hot and drop 30-40 points from range. And Draymond is very good as well.

Curry is a very, very good three-point shooter. Fantastic finisher around the rim and he's a very good passer, but it's premature to say he's a top 5 player of all time.

I keep telling cats, "with the first pick in the all-time NBA draft, X team selects, Stephen Curry" is not a long shot at all. Dude is possibly the best ever to step on a court.

You have one of the best, most skilled scorers of all-time and one of the most egotistical saying he's never seen anything like this.

Don't miss enjoying watching a once-in-a-lifetime player due to stupid stan wars.
You just earned the first neg I have ever given anyone, congrats. And I like Curry. But don't be insanely stupid.

Could care less about your first neg :mjlol:.

Ya'll are up in arms because of the longevity argument mainly.

My argument is what does longevity have to to with being arguably the most skilled at a peak? Much more at the beginning of said peak?

Is dude not tallying up the greatest season ever played, or not?

Is dude not having the most efficient scoring season ever or not?

Is dude not a champion or not? Did they win with his play style being the focal point, or not?

This isn't some cat who just started getting it in, it's been nearly two full seasons at this level and before that dude was already breaking the 3 point record.

Dude been breaking the three point record and shooting the lights out for seasons already.

I'll take dude's rate at making 3 pointers over anybody having the same efficiency with 2 pointers.

Breaking these records, most efficient, and not even a scoring champion. First pick all time?:mjlol:

yeah that's what i've been trying to say in this
his team is crazy deep, they have 1 of the bet teams OAT
people try to act like it's just curry when it's not
it's a team effort, and take away 1 key player from this team Curry wouldn't be as good

EX: Draymond or Klay (their other 2 all-stars)
he wouldn't as good for obvious reasons

Dude's already a champion though breh.

If his team stops blowing out teams by the 3rd quarter maybe he'd get more minutes to score more points. But who's mainly responsible for contributing those points and running that offense?

I can name several players who are multiple time champions as well as being scoring champions, finals mvps, etc. No matter what lame excuse you have, Curry is not an all time number pick after being great for a season and a half.

If we're going to build a team from scratch I'm going with the most skilled. Number one pick being somebody who can run an offense like he does and score like he does isn't a stretch at all.

Curry doing it for 2 seasons as the main guy and just entering his peak is already enough to warrant consideration. Dude's play style also lends itself to longevity. He'll most like be great for a long time, and has already been putting up numbers for more than 2 seasons already. But nobody out there is peaking like he's peaked.

Look at Kobe's 2006 season where dude went in on the league and Curry's current season:

Kobe:
41 MPG 35.4 / 5.3 rebounds / 4.5 assist on 45 FG% 34.7 3P%

Curry:
34 MPG 29.8ppg / 5.3Rebounds / 6 Assists on 51 FG% 45.4 3P%

Dude also running the offense that's on pace to have the best record of all-time too.

Going to have to agree to disagree here.

AI ain't miserable and bitter like a lot of these old heads. I expect him to say Curry on his level whether it's true or not.

Most skilled? Explain how you pick Curry over Kareem. Lets not forget, coming into the draft, Kareem was a champion 3 straight years at UCLA.

If this team so deep why didn't anyone pick us to win it all at the start of last season or even the start of this season?
