Really, the early 00s had Duncan, Shaq, KG, Tmac, Dirk and Kobe that's honestly it, he should have said something about the bigs being better, the PGs today are worlds better than the PGs then.

James shot 40%, learn to count, and Russ shooting so much he got the scoring title is because that team was ass aside from him. He led the league in scoring whole shooting bad and missed the playoffs entirely. That shyt isn't good basketball. Bet you think those seasons AI shot 39% from the field for 27+ a night were great, that Kobe was good last year. If those guards are gonna take those same double teamed 20 foot shots with 8-16 seconds left on the shot clock, they ain't going in now either. The basket didn't get any bigger. Get that low IQ shyt outta here and leave it in 2002
GOLD!
The league average FG% last year was 45%, in 2002-2003 the league average was 44%, keep in mind the average team took 600 more threes last year and there are less post up bigs yet the FG% is higher today with lower percentage 3 point shots being a major part of offenses.

Curry ain't doing that against Kobe and Shaq. The League was better, just admit it

Yup. Really the only PGs from that era that were worth a shyt were Kidd, Nash, and Parker. And Nash and Parker were late bloomers. They weren't carrying til at least half the decade was over.
Crazy that guys like Francis and Marbury were staples in the league at one time. Mother fukkin Khalid Reeves was bouncing around the NBA inking deals.
Imagine if Eric Bledsoe played back in 98
Yeah I was naming guys who were in the spotlight and running for leagues best at one point or another.
Edit- didn't see last 10 years lol
If anything, I should have included Rose with those names. Forgot. fukk it.

You know he's got trash coming as a counter. Wish I left that neg in the chamber. The next post really deserves it. Shoot better while taking further shots and worth more points too, yet the league was better 13 years ago

I love TheColi, Stephon Marbury is better than Curry in your mind.....

Some of those guys you named are actually point guards
Curry wouldn't be doing what he's doing now if he played in the 2000s era. Neither would Harden, or Davis.
Explain?
What exactly would Steph not be doing in the 2000s that he's doing now?
You do realize Nash won 2 MVPs in the 2000s right?
And yes, I also admit that all three of those guys would get the better of Curry in a 1v1 matchup
Steph might struggle with Baron because of his size, but no Fanchise and Marbury would not get the better of him.
You'd have a better argument with GP and Kidd at least they were great defenders.

Look at this fukk nikka dodging the statement tho. Would Steph Curry be doing what he's doing now in that same era?
