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

[big bun]

Imagine curry hitting the deck hard 10+ times a game because the other team knew refs werent tryna give him foul calls, that boys body would be paper mache status

He’s not as reckless as AI was though...

 

[Trot LaRoc]

Ppl talk about Curry not holding up physically but he wouldnt have to take it to the rack 20+ plus times like AI had to so thats a moot point

 

[Brian O'Conner]

Is 31ppg on 26 shots a game impressive?

considering the degree of difficulty for most of those shots..yes it is very impressive

iverson shot bad % his entire career,

thanks for that stat

31 ppg is a great scoring average

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

And you're not saying a damn thing, just some cliches with no basis in reality

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

You don’t get bonus points for taking bad shots

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

him always being a poor shooter is not a valid excuse for shooting badly. They won games where he went 13-35, 10-32, and 5-27 that series. If your entire argument word for word is “*insert name here* couldn’t survive in that era” and the only attempt to elaborate at all is “hard fouls”, you have no valid argument.

Y'all nikkas argue like you're still little kids in 2001 worshipping your hero. "No gaiz AI is tough, he's a real nikka, he got tats, he's better!"

Grow up . The late 90s and early 00s are over

yes....because eric snow is the same as klay thompson

Who cares about a fg%, just do what you gotta do to help your team win. A.I. carried the offensive load on his 165 lb frame and got his team to the promised
land
It's pretty pointless to guess what Curry or any player "could have" done in a different situation than what they experienced, but the hard core facts are he hasn't carried a team with the lack of firepower like Iverson's Sixers

When has Steph been on a bad team in his prime?

In his fourth year he took a mediocre Warriors team to 6 games against the Spurs.

topic is switching 2 players and what would outcome be for 76ers

steph wouldn't have been able to fit iverson's role that team

it's pretty obvious

the space jams, 50 foot shots stuff is great..and playing in backcourt with another historically great shooter is great .....now wake up and put steph on that philly team in that era and tell me with a straight face how those skills would translate

I brought up Iverson shooting a low career % for the googlers who perhaps didn't know that and bringing up his shooting % against bucks like it's a big reveal

In what era does a great handle, otherworldly ability to finish, and the best jumper in league history not translate? Curry shoots better from distance than AI did from the field. There’s no reason he wouldn’t be able to score on better efficiency than AI if he were asked to monopolize possessions and score a ton of points as opposed to run an actual offense.

yes....because eric snow is the same as klay thompson

This is the exact same logic that :Jew_mad: uses when arguing that Kobe would have been better served playing with Scottie Pippen instead of Shaq. Teams don’t double off of Curry. Teams concede the paint to try defending him from deep. Teams don’t try to guard the #2 while leaving the #1 open. Curry is always the focal point of the opposing defense. I’m done arguing this point since you clearly don’t get it, are a casual, or are just a troll. Everything AI was good at, Curry is better at.

for the young'uns

if eric snow looks scared in the photos...........it's because his coward ass was.


The opposing teams sagged off him ,DARING him to make open shots

They may have been mediocre, but they weren't Sixers bad. Still had Klay, David Lee was still getting buckets back then....Sixers next best scorers were Raja Bell, Aaron McKie and Eric Snow
