do you know how hard it is to shoot 30 plus times a game for 82 games. Durable, doesn't miss games or take plays off. Lets talk about how iverson was the focal point of defenses every night, yet he still was scoring 50. Im not gonna hold it against Chef for having good teammates(draymond, david lee, monta ellis, klay thompson). But it makes me appreciate iverson more.

Nah, I'm trying to say Steph gets the same results by getting to the paint with his immaculate handle. I'm sure their point in the paint were close if you compare their MVP seasons. And Steph sat out entire 4th quarters.

Curry def can get to the rim.

But Iverson's handles and speed/quickness>Curry's

.6 better steal average per game is what makes him a better defender


Don't be simple, bud. I listed a chunk of metrics... and already told you they ALL point toward curry being a better defender. If you want to quibble over portions of stats... that's fine.

But stay in your lane.

You haven't said a single thing that displays any knowledge of the game, or even of your ability to use google.

We talking about steals?


No, we're talking about the totality of defense... but if you're asking for metrics (which he did) I will list off the metrics available, as a part of the argument.

I already said he's a great help defender in the post, and does a great job sliding over to help with slashers... and then closing out. I talked about his strengths, I talked about his impact on team defense from a statistical aspect -- and as a small part of what I listed... I said he generates more turnovers and even more finite than that -- more steals.

And it doesn't matter who Ray Allen was guarding -- he was never considered even a "good" defender in his time. You can't change history by getting nostalgic about players you didn't even watch.


Again, I usually don't scrimmage with you JV cats... but you're getting reckless right now.

Curry shoots a higher percentage from 3 than Iverson does from the field :mjlol:

:stopitslime: Act like Iverson didn't have to force a ton of shots,because his best second option was Eric Snow.

When he went to Denver with another elite scorer his FG% was the highest and most consistent it ever been at 45% for 135 games he played for Denver.

Yall boys and this nonsense:camby:
