I would have never predicted Steph Curry becoming this good

[Ruck]

Durant isn't 100% and he's giving you 28 and more. His ceiling is higher but... Steph is on a better team.

This is such a bullshyt cop-out. Their execution and gameplan is better, but Durant clearly has the better talent on his roster. So don't put that shyt on Steph. Durant has had so much talent playing with Harden, Jackson and now lamb yet no rings to show for.

He's also 7 inches taller than steph yet Steph is scoring 32. Don't u see how fukking hard it is for a point guard to avg 32?

 

[Draje]

You telling me he's having a better season than when Jordan averaged over 37 a game on damn near 50% shooting?

Curry is averaging 32 PPG on 70% TS while playing 34 minutes a game. Jordan averaged 40 minutes and scored 35 on 56% TS

Using FG% for Curry doesn't tell how efficient is because it doesn't account for how good he is at 3s.

To give you an idea of the difference between Curry's efficiency right now and Jordan is this...

A difference between 10% in True Shooting, on SUCH a similar amount of PPG, is like comparing MVP Kevin Durant to Allen Iverson. Or even Jordan vs. Allen Iverson.

THAT's what Curry is doing. He's playing way less minutes and averaging an unheard of efficiency.

This. Look, I don't give a fukk about stats usually. But when a player like Steph is doing what he is doing at his height and lack of athletic ability, it's easily the most impressive thing I have ever seen in all my years watching basketball.

I appreciate his game more than the flash of high flying wings, or the physical dominance of interior players. The skill set is unfukking real.

Steph has the potential to be top 5 all time. Kobe and lebron ain't getting there. Stans of those players just haven't come to the reality that their favorite player will be surpassed by this lightskin dude when it's done.

I don't fukk with true shooting% or any other made up stats/percentage that nerds have made up in the blog era.

Jordan scored much more on almost 60% shooting.

Averages and FG% is all I need to know breh.

Blog Stat geeks are one of the reasons that warriors coverage is so insufferable at this point , Just a perfect storm of the right team and the right era for nerds to bust nuts

Check your facts. He shot 48% the year he scored 37 a game. His career high was 54%. That ain't even close to 60%. True shooting % wouldn't matter if teams didn't take 3's, but teams shoot lots of them so it's a huge piece of data that has to be accounted for.

My fault, meant to type almost 50 (like I typed in my original post).

And still FUKK TS%

And nikkas laughed when he said he was better offensively than Lebron

Oh, you wanna use raw stats?

Curry scored 32 PPG on 52% shooting while playing 34 minutes a game. He's averaging 32 on 20 FGA a game.

Jordan averaged 37 PPG on 48% shooting while playing 40 minutes a game. Averaged 37 PPG on 27 FGA.

Jordam needed 7 more shots and 6 more minutes to average a whopping 5 more PPG.

Edit: he's also doing this despite averaging almost less than 6 FTA a game than Michael did.

Havn't teams always taken 3's???

So now that they take more we have to make up a stat to over analyze?

Call me old fashion but all I want to know is HOW MANY SHOTS DID A PLAYER TAKE And HOW MANY POINTS DID THEY SCORE.

From what range they took can be broken down separately.

And I can't believe yall are seriously trying to say Steph is having a better season than one of Jordans greatest statistical season??

Where he Averaged 37!!! on almost 50%!!!!!

Jordam averaged 37 on 27 FGA a game.

Curry is averaging 32 on 20 FGA while playing less minutes and averaging less free throws. Curry is shooting over 50% FG.

I'm waiting for an argument.

So your telling me Jordan scored more?

While taking MUCH LESS THREES?

And your telling me Jordan got to the line more?

Gotchu!!!

We also have to Wait until the Season is DONE to proclaim it the greatest.

Curries FG% and PPG may drop.

Jordan the GOAT is already in the books for the particular season I'm talking about

Yeah. Jordan scored slightly more on far more attempts and minutes.

No one said Curry's season will stay better than Jordan's but he's scoring, right now, on a level of efficiency that Jordan hasn't.

32 PPG on 20 shots vs. 37 on 27 shots.

Which one is better (If Curry sustained this level of play). I'll wait.

You said True Shooting doesn't matter so don't bring up that Curry takes more threes now.

NOPE, SLIGHTLY MY ASS...

37 is much more than 32....

Just like there is a big difference in a player AVG. 25 or a player averaging 30.
The Player avg. 30 will be in a lot more MVP convo's than the player averaging 25. ESPECIALLY if the player averaging 30 is shooting almost 50%

That's the same context we must look in to what Jordan did and what Steph is doing.

The only other perimeter player to average as much as Jordan is Elgin Baylor. No TS% stat nerd BS will change that.

Again, how is 37 on 27 attempts better than 32 on 20 attempts. You just admitted that there's a big difference between a player averaging 5 more PPG so why aren't you applying that fact that it took Jordan SEVEN MORE ATTEMPTS to average that plus 5.

The disparity between their attempts is higher than the disparity in PPG. Your own logic is proving me right.

If 37 PPG is much more than 32 PPG than 27 ATTEMPTS (Aka the stat that you said was important) is much more than 20 attempts.

Try again.
