It's impossible to have a reasonable discussion involving Iverson on this board. You'd think he literally fathered half of you. :smhkobe:

Curry is a much better player than Iverson was. I love people clinging to that '01 Finals run in the terrible east like he didn't shoot under 39% in the playoffs that year. He took 30 fukking shots a game. Curry took NINE less shots this past postseason and averaged about four fewer points than Iverson did in '01.
I'll repost this since the madness is showing no signs of slowing down.

i dont think some of you realize how hard it is to be the 1st, 2nd and 3rd option offensively :dwillhuh:


and still be at the top of the NBA in steals per game :wow:

I just told you the numbers... you can look them up if you want exact.



Here are ray allen's

Ray Allen


Here are steph curry's

Stephen Curry


You'll note that Curry has more steals, has a higher steal percentage in opponents' possessions, has better defensive win shares, has a better defensive rating on average AND is trending better than allen ever has...

If you watch basketball, you'd see how disruptive curry has become. He's not a lock down defender, by any means... but he now does a good job tracking his man, and has become much more adept at leaping into passing lanes AS WELL as ripping opponents dribbles, and sneaking in to rip from slashing/posting players.


Here's something you clearly haven't learned about me. If I tell you it's my opinion, it's my opinion. Everyone has them, and I've been wrong plenty.

If I'm telling you the numbers back it up, I don't do that without knowing the numbers. That's a little free-tip for all you JV posters. :blessed:
.6 better steal average per game is what makes him a better defender..:mjlol:..Steph Curry is not better then Ray Allen or more versatile. ..Defense wise they are both useless i dont give a fukk who u are i been watchin ball before you were probably born

and Curry is a great defender :martin:
its reason he never guards PGs imagine that nikka trying to stay in front of CP3 or russ hell even Jerian grant would murk curry on defense. AI lead the league in steals multiple times for a reason. neither are elite defenders but AI is much better :yeshrug:

Fun Fact: Iverson shot under 40% twice in his prime. Once had a season where he was putting up 28 shots for 30 points.

The way nikkas overrate that trifecta of Vince, T-Mac (post Orlando) and AI on here never fails to amuse me. Don't ever compare Kobe to those 3. :mjlol:
mind telling us who AI should have passed it to instead of shooting. i guess i didnt dump it in to Tyrone Hill old ass enuff huh? :mjlol:
