How The fukk Is It Possible To Be BY FAR The Best Shooter In The League And The Best Finisher At The

You compared Draymond Green to Dennis Rodman.

On any other board you'd have been laughed to Bolivia

1992 Dennis Rodman vs 2016 Draymond Green - Message Board Basketball Forum - InsideHoops

Rodman was a role player man, not a superstar or franchise centerpiece. Half of the stuff people call Dray overrated for (which isn't even true to begin with) apples to him as well

Ballers actually talking about defense in the 1960s? Are you serious? The reason that Russell was so dominant in the 1960s was because he was the FIRST guy with real skill who actually started playing defense like he meant it. Defense in the 1960s was horrifically bad in every describable way - effort, athleticism, schemes, everything.

Not that offense was that much brighter - most teams ran up and down the court (played 25% faster than today) shooting low-percentage shots (tons of long jumpers by players who weren't all that good at shooting them). If the offensive mindset hadn't been as limited as the defensive mindset, the half-assed defense would have been exposed even worse.

Chamberlain picked up his 100 points in a game where THREE guys on an awful Knick team went for 30+.

That's very good. Teams didn't really shoot them then. They just played at a breakneck pace. There's a reason nobody even gets 12 assists per game yet a few guys then got 14+ per night. Not to discredit him and Isaiah and Stockton though.

People never remember to watch just normal regular season games from the 1980s. A HUGE number of those assists were on fast-break points or early in the shot clock before defenses were set. Just look at the point totals from that era - lots of running and lots of movement made for beautiful ball, but it wasn't the same game. Defense in the 1980s wasn't a focus until the playoffs started, so a lot of the stats got a bit inflated.

About to have the same amount as rings already

And so will Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. Watch the Warriors three-peat, then have Thompson/Green claiming 15 years later that this run was 60% of the reason that they're the all-time greatest player ever.

very underrated finisher at the rim

basketball is way more difficult than it was 20 yrs ago. Its called evolution

if you came back from any major injury you were damn near a god because the medicine and tech wasnt helpin nobody

I feel like Jay will could have come back from that moto accident in todays climate

 

[inndaskKy]

Same people that wanna prop up Curry's shooting % in the paint are quick to point out that Kawhi only shoots 4 3PT attempts when people admire his 3PT% compared to Curry's. How many attempts does Curry average in the paint?

Curry is not attacking the rim like a "mad man"

He's getting points in the paint within the Warriors offense of backdoor cuts, screens slashing and defenders are sleeping on him or can't stop it because EVERYONE on Gsw can shoot threes and make plays

He's also getting transition layups off the Warriors great defense/steals

So he's getting uncontested layups. That's why his FG is so high

Iverson attacked the rim like a madman and scored over big men in ways curry never could

curry turning into a nba version of ronda rousey(not really a bad thing if we get to hear about curry instead of ronda)...calling him the greatest shooter ever when kd gotta higher career fg% and higher ppg..more seasons played and more shot attempts per game...

Another er r nikka that don't watch games. Yes, he does get a lot if what u mentioned, but u sound like a damn fool to say some of the shyt u said. First off, in transition; he scores with at least 1 defender; sometimes 2 back just as all of the athletic nikkas who amazed us in the open court (Wade, Bron, Jordan, Kobe, Durant etc) he grts good looks at the basket just as much as them rather off the glass or floating it. The athletes I mentioned did the same, witth less floaters and actually going over defenders rather dunk or layup.

Let's not act like he ain't got plenty of contested highlights at the basket over the last 7 years. Just think about the behind the back non dribble vs SA and NO, the up and under from the front of the basket vs ORLANDO, the hand switch vs MIN, etc. He takes the 4th most "closely contested" layups in the NBA and shoots the highest % , even better than bigs.

What u are saying is deaded by game film, highlights, and numbers. If Lebron takes 10-11 shots at the basket of, Curry would be around 7-8. Hardly a big difference. nikkas really want to act like his layups are all wide open . U mean to tell me u take credit away for a nikka getting a smooth kiss off the glass OVER the defender, goes around the defender before attempting the shot, and still has the ability to change directions and make tough contact layups?

Lol I watch all the games, breh. Been watching since he came in the league. Been a fan since Davidson.
Everyone in the forum knows this.

Not to discredit curry but he's smart player and takes shots that obviously he can make inside cause he's usually wide open uncontested
or on a fast break where it's just him and a defender on an island which is the type of situation ANY player should score.

There is no comparison between Kobe, wade, Iverson and other guards who mad a career off driving attacking the rim over and over and finishing over defenders with contact and even dunking over them.

All solo. No plays from the team. No screens.
One on one.
The Type players who can finish off their speed and athleticism alone.

Curry is not that type of player.

He makes a living of shooting VERY difficult 3s and a lot of them while getting layups very easily and few of them.

If we're talking guys right now who attack the rim fearlessly and do it well...

Isiah Thomas attacks the rim way better than curry and more often and he's like 6 inches shorter

Westbrook attacks the rim like a madman

Lillard attacks the rim

Kemba attacks the rim

Kyrie attacks the rim

Curry doesn't do it like they do.

FYI: I don't consider floaters "attacking the rim like a madman"

That's part of his midrange game

Curry relies on 3s and Midrange shots so he doesn't need to attack the rim or breakdown defenders like the guys i mentioned above.

All you guys who neg me are idiots

He averages more attempts per game in the "restricted area" and "in the paint, outside of the restricted area" than Pillars, Irving, and Kemba. I'm guessing the floaters account for the outside restricted area shots. What about the ones inside? Durant, Westbrook, and Lebron leads the league in attempts all sitting around 5, Steph was at 3.5 last time I seen it.

Once again, Steph is finishing the same ways. IDGAF if one jusps over players or goes into their chest, and the other flicks a shot or goes around the D. Steph is still doing it better than everybody else.

How the fukk is that not considered attacking the basket my nikka .

Lets say Russ and Steph jumps from the same spot of the launching pad. How is it a knock cause he gets his look off differently than the athletes. IT'S STILL POINTS IN THE PAINT. On top of thatL, CURRY STILL FINISHES MORE EFFICIENTLY WITH CONTACT. In which video evidence eould show u that. The nikka just has a way with the backboard and English on layups. Jordan, Wade, Lebron, Iverson are the atg at the restriced area finishes. Curry is more efficient than all of them at it this year, on less attempts of course, but lets not act like 8-9 attempts per game is that far off of 6-7. All those are not open layups bro.
