If the 90s defenses were so much greater than they are now, why couldn't Jordan, Hakeem, Barkley, Malone, Hakeem, Shaq, Kobe, Duncan be stopped :lupe:
I fail to see the point? Because they were all time great players.

Plus was addressing the idiotic notion that all those guys you named weren't double teamed

People in this thread keep saying that Steph woulda been shut down in the 90s and other eras because the defense was better.

But I listed several players who stil balled out no matter what defenses threw at them. My point is that Steph woulda done the same thing :manny:

From a pure basketball aspect how could u not:stopitslime:

Not talkin bout like, but respect. If u don't it's personal not about the sport:yeshrug:


Well said, i am going to have to dap you for this. We should all respect Bron, just some of us (myself included) were never awed by Bron. A great athlete with the ball in his hands 95% of the time putting up great stats. MJ, Kobe and Curry do awe inspiring things.

I'm a Heat fan and didn't realize it. My friend is a Kobe Stan and he constantly said Bron's game is bland and since he's been gone, I've noticed it. We watch Cavs games to see if they win and not highlights.

Could make the case Pistol Pete or Jerry West were the last time we've seen something like Steph is doing. No 3 point line back then though.

Steph is unreal right now though :yeshrug:
I've heard those comparisons, but like you said, no 3-point line. Even then, their shooting percentages wouldn't match Curry's. Pistol's shooting percentage was never this good. Curry's efficiency from deep has never been seen before in that kinda volume. At least I don't think so. Now West had a similar career shooting percentage as Curry, but even if there was a 3-point line back then, I don't know how many he'd hit or how efficiently he'd hit them....

Steph's taking 11 3's per game and hitting 5. He's shooting 47% from 3. Curry's ability is unprecedented....

I can't remember what Durants stats were from '14 but they were close. Curry's season is better though
