Reggie was a very good player, but what Steph does with his dribble is what will separate him from every other three point shooter you can think of, nobody else in the history of the game has combined his shooting and dribble in one package -
How much would Reggie Miller average in this Warriors offense?

It's hard to say given the Pacers style especially when Larry Brown got there. Reggie picked his spots more so than trying to fill it up which is why he has some of the highest offensive and shooting efficiency ratings in NBA history which makes Steph's True shooting percentage even more impressive given the way he plays.

They just doing want to agree with you, breh.
It's obvious Steph benefits from amazing team play and outstanding ball movement.
If you watch the Warriors offense they've mastered drawing up plays to get steph free off multiple pics and cuts to the basket using all their other offensive threats as decoys, especially back doors which are
every time they run it for steph.Steph has become really good at moving without the ball.
It's crazy how he gets a few wide open lay ups and corner threes because his team is just ALWAYS looking for him at the 3 point line.
Goldenstates defense leads to a ton of turnovers that result in curry threes before defenses can get set and fast breaks where curry is pretty good at finishing especially when the WARRIORS have numbers and shooters trailing
To act like curry isn't getting help from pics is stupid. Yea he doesn't need them but he uses them to get free off good defenders like Kawhi and as uses pics as a tactic to set up his crossovers or just confuse stupid defenses who can't defend pick and roll.
Currys handle is overrated. it's not break you down in ISO cross you and drive to the Rim handle like Kyrie or Iverson.
Players respect his shot so much it's easy for him go shake them with a few basic moves/fakes. Curry plays with great pace, but he's not quick of explosive like Kyrie or John wall. You won't see him break ankles or blow by a defender as much. But he will set you up.
Curry is a very smart player. I'll give him that over anyone right now.
But he's playing a better team game than individual one.
To give curry all the credit is to say he's playing with bums and not the most versatile and talented group of players in the NBA.
To say Reggie miller couldn't do what curry does ON this Warriors team is the dumbest thing I've read in a while. Reggie Is the second greatest 3 point shooter of all time to me and a hall of famer.
He made threes like curry did for years.
Miller was an assassin. Even curry would tell you that.
Remember when People compared curry to miller only a few years ago?
Now Millers some type of scrub?
He could shoot almost as good as curry and was taller so he didn't need a release as fast as currys. Plus he had a jump shot not a set one.
Reggie had the type of killer instinct only players like Jordan and kobe had.
Miller worked hard for his points on the pacers against tough defenses. With these Warriors he wouldn't have to work as much. Not againts this NBA and their weak defense.
Imagine prime miller and curry on the same team, brehs

I think Klay is really talented. While I think Klay (like many other previous shooting guards) is and can be better than Reggie in many facets of the game. I don't think Klay has the same fire in his belly (though I wonder if he would show it more if he were the number one option).
I certainly don't see him doing what Reggie did with a point guard like Vern Flemming or even a more talented pg like Mark Jackson. Reggie still had gas at the end of his 18th year career and was dropping 39 on Kobe in 2005 and had 30+ point playoff games that same year. I really can't imagine what his game would look like if had a point guard like Steph.

Early in his career Reggie did have a few drive moves he would use, many ending in a floater (Just look at some his games from 89-90)
Later in his career, he mostly used a shimmy move to drive to the basket.
In 2004
In 2000, driving on Ray Allen at 1:15
at 1:18 against Kobe

Steph always says he patterns his game after Reggie and Steve Nash. Recently
Kobe says Reggie was the hardest to guard

Miller would average about 24-25 ppg he could draw fouls,moved without the ball,was a catch n shoot player and scored mad buckets cutting to the basket especially on back screens.
In todays game the way miller use to flop would easily draw 8-12 fta's a game

Exactly
And Reggie Miller in the backcourt with Steph Curry would be
Probably the most lethal backcourt of all-time
Trade one of the better Perimeter defenders and a key part of keeping Curry rested to add slightly better shooting and clutchness to a team that's been blowing teams by the 4th quarter, brehs
You didn't have to include that part bruh.....
Sorry, breh, I just came out firing
Reggie Miller didn't just sit in the corner breh. He was the fukking franchise player/leading scorer for a squad for over a decade, a squad that really never had any creators offensively. We really comparing Hall of Fame Reggie Miller to fukking Brandon Rush now?

nikkas always go too farReggie couldn't pass, dribble or create. Definitely can't shoot off the dribble so you can't even say he would be Klay. His game isn't suited for this offense and he was never as good of a scorer or shooter as Steph Curry. If anything he would be Brandon Rush or Ian Clark

I was going to ask if who yall thought is a better player Klay or reggie
On this golden state warrior team, in this offense, he wouldn't put up HOF numbers.

Once again, the offense is based on having players create shots at every spot on the floor. The only players who don't are the spot up guys like Barnes and Rush. Reggie couldn't create offense for other people. Klay creates off the bounce, without the ball and in the post. Nobody is saying Brandon rush is better than reggie Miller, but Reggie is not the guy you all want him to be. In this offense he would be mostly spotting up. He couldnt run a pick and roll. He couldnt blow by guys consistently and he couldnt post consistently. All the things the starting 2 guard on GSW does.
Look at the statement. Look at the player. Look at the system. Don't just say "but but but reggie could shoot 3s tho!" It's a lot deeper than that.
He had the 3rd all time leader in assists as his point guard. A great passing big man. A great passing point forward. Don't do that.
