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

[Trot LaRoc]

Ppl forgot how shyyty the East was for tha most part back then....wasnt like AI faced a Murderer's Row of competition.

But fuc all this bac n forth, AI is tha toughest player pound for pound...much respect to him

 

[get these nets]

Yeah, because the best shooter the league has ever seen (who also has insane handles, AND scores at the rim) wouldn't have skills that translate.

Get all the way the fu*k outta here.....




Some of ya'll just say sh*t.....Steph isn't a product of any system, the Dubs system is built around him. And as far as physicality, Steph gets bumped, pushed, pulled, fouled on damn near every trip down the floor with or without the ball, viciously, constantly.

I have no idea how Steph would have done in AI's position. But the levels that folks go to discredit Steph and then fix they mouths to call themselves basketball fans/historians/ex-players/etc is dreadful. Ya'll should be ashamed of yourselves.

Steph is a great player ,period.
You haven't read me type a single thing disparaging thing about Steph.

He is slight of built and has been injured a few times in his career already.That's not opinion but fact..

Iverson was skinny also but as tough as nails.....was a TOP football recruit in high school..better at football than basketball, allegedly

Throw Curry on that team where he is the sole offensive focus , with handchecking allowed, rules not perimeter player friendly, and just more physical play allowed and it's hardly a stretch to say that he wouldn't hold up.

 

[Trot LaRoc]

Plenty of small players ate tho. Isiaih was 6 foot 175 tops for example.

Ppl overstate the physicality of the 90s/00s. They were more goons n it was rougher but lot of squads couldnt defend for shyt and there were more cacs n lot less athletes.

Exactly

This is what these fools don't get

The warriors can spread the floor with all those shooters

Curry is getting open looks because of his teammates and transition

He's not doing all that by himself when he's getting doubled and pressed full court in that era

we've seen chef get put on the shelf for stretches by scrappy defenders

he usually gets a few in regardless true

but he is fortunate he has support to pick up for him in his cold spots

placed in a situation where it's true 1v5 & no cold.spots can be sustained i see him struggling

ai wasn't inefficient for lack of skill his %'s took a hit off the fact basically every shot was high degree of difficulty with no teammates to really take that pressure off

folks know space is important well ai was playing in a phone.booth vs. chef in a ocean of space

yes he pulls defenders in but damn.near all his teammates are competent offensively as well so defenses get pulled not just in chefs direction but in all directions basically

with ai everything collapses on him hard & he's getting buckets out that mess

like i said completely different circumstances

i say it's reasonable to say that given an improved team coaching franchise one of the goats would be more successful seeing as he made something out of nothing

& it's perfectly fine to question how chef would do if placed in an absolutely destitute situation offensively



nikkas in here talking down on the goat like they must be some suburban busters

respect the gawd

[MostReal]

Curry is a transcendent player that would have ate no matter the era, point blank end of

 

[Haliax]

Probably ..he was a better shooter and overall offensive player an Allen

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

He averaged 25/5/8 with Monta Ellis as his 2nd option and David Lee as his 3rd , he also took the Spurs to 6 games in the 2nd round averaging 32ppg that series.


WHY DO U nikkaS ACT LIKE 2015 WAS STEPS FIRST GREAT SEASON, HE HAD MORE SUCCESS IN HIS FIRST 3 YEARS THAN A LOT OF ALL TIME GREATS. Y'ALL nikkaS DUMB AS fukk SMH

monte ellis averaged 22/6 and up until that point, it was kinda still his team.

david lee was an all-star. and ellis was arguably the biggest all-star snub of that era.

yet, youre posting smilies as if they were some bums.

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

The 2015 rockets and 2015 Grizzlies> whatever team Iverson ever eliminated

the '15 warriors faced a bunch of teams with injuries & suspensions in the playoffs.

 

[DetroitEWarren]

That was the start of Monta's quick ass fall off, he was out of the league 3 seasons later. David Lee was also in the midst of a quick call off, it was Stephen team from that season forward and prior to that he was 20+5+5+ every season bro bro

 

[mastermind]

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

Watch Curry off the ball one game. He gets mauled and never gets fouls called.

 

[jwinfield]

Y'all right. Curry isn't good enough to shoot 34% in a series.

 

[FAH1223]

could easily see Curry taking the 76ers to the Finals

and having a performance to win a game

like here

1:56:00

 

[Teko]

No chance. A more efficient scorer and the best shooter of all time would only make that team worse.

How effective is he without a thousand screens?

Why do cats act like Steph can't create his own shot?
