If you were to put Steph Curry on the 2001 Sixers would they still make the finals?

the answer to this thread is no

the bucks roughed iverson up in that series............a.i. is tough and a former football player so he got hit, brushed himself off and continued giving the bucks that work

steph wouldn't have survived

Iverson had a poor series. What work were u talking about? His team and the refs helped with the outcome.

The man shot 34% that series and missed a game because he was hurt.

They won a game he shot 5/27 in.

Sixers won that series because of the refs.

Steph curry didn't become the steph curry we know today until kerr came and instilled an offensive system around him based on his talents. Iverson was a superstar from day 1 that could play in any system with any coach. Steph was a good player before before Kerr but no one called him top 5.

This is a response I made to this same foolish claim not too long ago :

not considered a top 15 player pre-2015 except he started the All-Star game/made 2nd team All-NBA in 2014


Random Top 100 list after the 2012-2013 season has him at 15 : https://www.si.com

15. Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors (G, 25)

2012-13 stats: 38.2 MPG, 22.9 PPG, 6.9 APG, 4 RPG, 1.6 SPG, 45.1 FG%, 45.3 3FG%

2012-13 advanced stats: 21.3 PER, 11.2 Win Shares, +4.2 RAPM

Curry's play during Golden State's magical run through the 2013 playoffs left many stunned, but his most staggering work was done during the regular season. Never before has an NBA player made as many three-pointers as Curry (a league-leading 272) while maintaining his level of accuracy (45.3 percent). Hasn't happened. The closest contender is 2007-08 Peja Stojakovic, who hit 231 threes while shooting 44.1 percent. There really aren't even that many players in the same ballpark: Fewer than 20 guys have hit 200 threes while shooting better than 40 percent.

That extraterrestrial marksmanship fueled Curry's superlative advanced stats: Only five players matches his PER/Win Shares combination, and all five -- LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook and James Harden -- rank above him on this list. Unless calamity or injuries strike, Curry's four-year, $44 million rookie extension will stand as one of the NBA's best contracts for its entirety. And, now that he has a playoff series victory under his belt, Curry should be in line for All-Star selections and All-NBA consideration as he heads toward his prime years

No one's saying he didn't ascend with the coaching change and as the pieces around him improved (newsflash, that's what good players in their 20s do), my argument is to debunk the claim that he wasn't really good and already in a phase of ascension prior to Kerrs arrival and the growth of Klay/Draymond. That's just full blown

ya'll gotta stop spreading this nonsense about Chef being some regular dude pre-Kerr after it keeps getting bushed.


and on top of that ya'll gotta stop letting these delusions about old players cloud your judgement. A.I.s that dude, we all got love for him and he influenced our generation, but he can't fukk with Chef. point, blank, period.

24 year old Vince, 37 year old Oakley, and Antonio Davis gonna do what to Steph Curry?

Steph Curry took the championship contender Spurs to 6 yet the league definition of average defensive team in the Raptors is gonna shut him down?

Curry was salsa dancing and chewing up the likes Prime Anthony Davis or Rudy Gobert on switches and we think Oakley and Antonio Davis gonna do what to him on switches on the perimeter?

Curry had to compete against Lebron 4 times, KD when he was pairing with westbrook, Harden 3 times, and a shyt load of 50+ win teams over the last 4 years and nikkaz here talking about Vince Carter and his Lackluster ass raptors

steph wouldn't have survived

nikkas keep saying this dumb shyt.

-Iverson got roughed up driving to the lane because he has to attack the basket to get his offense. Curry can create offense away from the paint where shooters are way more protected

-Curry’s overall toughness and strength is underrated. Curry finishes through contact, keeps his momentum going through defensive pressure, and has amazing core balance. He takes hits all the time and he copes while being an elite off-ball mover too. We gonna act like Curry hasn’t kept his base and battled with physically imposing PGs like Westbrook?

 

[get these nets]

They turned a 2-1 hole into a 3-2 lead while AI went 15-59 from the field in those two games . They won that series off the strength of their defense and rebounding. They should have been knocked out in 5 with him shooting that badly.

Iverson never shot a high %....that was his mcp peak year and why don't you tell us what he averaged for the series?


again.........steph wouldn't have survived that series..................you can dance around it but it's still true

Curry was giving the likes of Durant and Westbrook buckets but people acting like Ray Allen and a 35 year old Reggie Miller gonna put the clamps on Curry

Based off of WHAT? I posted a game that he dropped 40+ in. Show me the defensive schemes where Curry would get hammered

you're repeating stuff you've heard commentators/reporters say

Uhh...no, it’s basic common basketball knowledge, dummy. Watch the damn game. Iverson isn’t 1/100th the threat is from the 3 so he has to attack the rim to create his offense. Ergo, he’s more likely to be on the receiving end of hard fouls and physical play.

Being an elite off the dribble shooter from 30 feet out with an instant trigger and elite handle means you’re far less likely to get hit with hard fouls.

einstein................plug steph curry on that sixers 2001 team, which is the title of the thread.....with that cast of teammates,that coach and tell me with a straight face that he's doing this new wave 4 point shot shyt.

yall really think chef could mimic AI's legendary run to the finals against prime kobe & shaq
curry wouldnt even be able to take the 2018 cavs to this years finals if he you switched him in for Lebron

26-29 ppg dont mean anything when teams are commonly running up the score to 100+ and don't play defense, iverson was putting up 40 when the final score was 80
iverson went to war with "old man" reggie miller, who was playing like a man possesed at his last shot at the finals before he retired ringless...and took his soul in philly

Curry is a great player but we have never really seen him tested, getting hacked and hard body bumped on nearly every play and fighting for every basket because the other 4 bums on the team were straight up ignored

these guys think that steph would be shooting 40 footers with eric snow as his backcourt mate....

Is 31ppg on 26 shots a game impressive?
