[FaTaL]

The fact that you lil nikkas think Curry already belongs in the HOF already and arguing about it is truly laughable.

Greatest shooter of all time. MVP. Breaks records every year. Ring and one of the most entertaining players ever. He's already a lock.

Instead of laughing, tell us why he isn't.

So in other words if his career ended today he s already in.


GTFOH

Is AI in the HOF?

 

[erickonasis]

Instead of laughing, tell us why he isn't.

So he is in the same league with Jordan , Wilt, Magic , Bird


You motherfukkers are truly delusional and if i have to explain why he isnt on the same level as those guys yoy need to leave the thread immediately

Is AI in the HOF?

Nope.......

 

[ItzDaKiing]

Nope.......

I should've phrased that differently. Would you put him in the HOF?

There are games AI single handedly brought his teams back from big deficits as well though.
Curry doesn't carry his team throughout the season. He's the best player on a team full of legit offensive threats. Let's see how he does being the only player a defense worries about for a season, let alone multiple years

The Warriors are a team full of legit offensive threats like who? Klay Thompson is literally the only other Warrior teams are reluctant to leave wide open. Dray, Iggy, Bogut, Barnes get completely uncontested shots because of him

Steph gets doubled as much as anyone else in the league. This narrative about him getting so much more help than others is ridiculous

 

[Reggie]

I am going with AI as the better of the too and while some of this is just me being a fan of his from day one I also feel in my heart that he was better then Curry and if he played in this era then he would get the proper credit he deserves. In a league where Russell Westbrook gets praise and averages 43 percent shooting for his career, AI once got shytted on for being 3 inches shorter and 30 pounds lighter and averaging 42 percent for his career. If he would have had a legit superstar like he had with Melo his numbers would have been more on that 45-46 percent shooting line that he had in Denver. Because of his poor fg percentage cats shyt on him and hold it against him. But even moreso then Kobe Jordan etc. Iverson was unconscious with the rock and literally thought any shot he shot was going in. That coupled with his lack of height is what led him to a subpar shooting percentage. Where guys like Kobe and Jordan could take bad shots but still get good looks at the rim he wasn't afforded that same luxury. Now if he played more like cats like Wade and Bron who actually play to take the best shots possible then he would be looked at in a different light I think. One day Steph may surpass him in my eyes but that day hasn't come yet.

I'm a Curry fan but Curry was non existing in the finals and would disappear all game until the end and his team still won.
Imagine if A.I. would have disappeared on his team the whole game until the end, they would have been blown out.

26/5/6 is non existing

Iverson shot 34% in the ECF and got thoroughly outplayed by Ray Allen but the Sixers won the series.

Arguably the biggest reason Philly won is because Dikembe Mutombo came outta nowhere and averaged near 17-16 with 3 blocks and had a higher average game score than AI (meaning by this stat that Mutombo was the most overall impactful player on the Sixers' roster. It's flawed but Mutombo stepped up more than people realized). Was well-known that Milwaukee had a poor front line and Mutombo ate Ervin Johnson-Tim Thomas-Scott Williams alive on the offensive glass (6.4 OREB per game). You guys wanna tell me about more heart without looking at what AI actually did?

The biggest reason though

ESPN The Magazine - Bill Simmons: The lost pages from my book

If crooked NBA playoff series were heavyweight boxers, then the 2002 Western finals (Lakers-Kings) was George Foreman and the 2001 Eastern finals (Bucks-Sixers) was Earnie Shavers. Translation: People remember only George, but Earnie was almost as memorable. To briefly recap, Philly's wins in Games 1 and 4 swung on a controversial lane violation and two egregious no-calls. The Sixers finished with advantages of 186-120 in free throws, 12-3 in technicals and 5-0 in flagrant fouls. Glenn Robinson, one of Milwaukee's top-two scorers, didn't even attempt a free throw until Game 5. Bucks coach George Karl and star Ray Allen were fined a combined $85,000 after the series for claiming the NBA rigged it. In that game, Milwaukee's best big man, Scott Williams, was charged with a flagrant foul but not thrown out, only to be suspended, improbably, for Game 7.

The defining game: When Philly stole a must-win Game 4 in Milwaukee despite an atrocious performance from Iverson (10-for-32 shooting), helped by a 2-to-1 free-throw advantage and a host of late calls. How one-sided was it? When an official called a harmless touch foul to send Sam Cassell to the line with two seconds left and the Bucks trailing by seven (maybe the all-time we-need-to-pad-the-free-throw-stats-so-they-don't-seem-so-lopsided-afterward call), the subsequent sarcastic standing ovation nearly morphed into the first-ever sarcastic riot. And this was Milwaukee, the most easygoing city in the country! Nobody remembers this. The real loser was Allen, who exploded for 190 points in the series, including a record nine threepointers in do-or-die Game 6. Nobody remembers this, either. Even I didn't remember it. Crap.

Iverson is the better player. He did more with less, was a more dominant player overall, and I'm sure he wouldn't get locked down for two games in the Finals by fukking Matthew Dellavedova.

What two games did Curry get locked down in?

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

Iverson has said Steph has the better handles.

Dude single handedly took one of the worst rosters in NBA history to the Finals and stole a game from a Lakers team that was one of the best in league history. With that said, I have to reluctantly admit that Curry is the better all around player, but not by much.

I rooter for a team that once had a starting lineup of

Andrew Lang
dikkey Simpkins
Toni Kukoc
Ron Harper
Randy Brown

and Kornel David coming off the bench for 29 minutes


If you have Coach of the Year, 6MOY and DPOY, have an elite defensive/rebounding team, you're nowhere close to one of the worst rosters in NBA history.

Not even Lebron has done more with less than Iverson did, especially since the East was actually respectable during Iverson's prime.

The east wasnt terrible then, and he got the Sixers to the playoffs 6 seasons.

End of story. I never seen Curry do what AI did in the playoffs.

Shoot under 39%

You guys are just too young no use trying to argue and its understandable why u would think Curry is better than reggie miller. This generation is fukked

What does Reggie do better than Curry? Even if you want to say he's a better shooter, the difference between the two in that attribute is nowhere close to every other aspect of the game Steph is better in.

Y'all don't think Curry could've carried that 76er squad to the playoffs in that weak Eastern conference??

Apparently AI is 25 games better than Steph. The 8th seed won 41 games that year.

Hold on...timeout. One question?
Do people in here really think that Curry has better handles than AI?

AI does.

So he is in the same league with Jordan , Wilt, Magic , Bird

You motherfukkers are truly delusional and if i have to explain why he isnt on the same level as those guys yoy need to leave the thread immediately

Do you think Joe Dumars is on that level? Because he's in the HOF. Chris Mullin and Mitch Richmond are in the HOF,

Nevermind Westbrook being a Walking triple double while playing way better defense than A.I.


Vince Carter's supporting cast was even worse than Iverson's and he didn't shoot that low. And he almost led his team over the Sixers Despite the lack of talent he had around him

@jwinfield Iverson said Curry had better handles than him being humble

If you think the nikka who crossed the shyt outta MJ in his prime really think a nikka got better handles than him

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

The fact that you lil nikkas think Curry already belongs in the HOF already and arguing about it is truly laughable.

Name a player that won MVP for a season that didn't go on to get in the HOF when they retired.

Curry cross nikkaz up all the time.

Just because Iverson did it on MJ doesn't be he's handles Is automatically the best ever.
