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

[Jplaya2023]

So basically what the people who are voting no is saying, is that Iverson is a better player than Curry?




People have forgotten how to watch the game of basketball.

A great jumpshot causes mad disturbance in a defense.
Curry doesn't have just a great jumpshot folks, he has unlimited range with it and he finishes at the rim at a high clip. Hes as complete as you could ever want your PG to be on the offensive end

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.

 

[jwinfield]

Steph averaged 24/9/4 and finished 6th in MVP voting the year before Kerr got there. He was at 23/7/4 two years before that.

Why wouldn't he able to play in any system?

 

[ISO]

It would be interesting to see how Curry responds to not having a top 5 shooter ever on his squad.

Steph been nice...

yeah those look like allstar numbers. IVY was a superstar.

 

[Axolotl]

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

 

[Axolotl]

Curry still gets doubled even with KD and Klay on the team, yes he's that dangerous. Teams still trap him on and off the ball. He doesn't escape doubles especially when he plays the Cavs (they basically put him in a box & 1). They don't defend the Warriors, they defend Curry. His off ball play is why the team excels and which is why he still puts up numbers even without dominating the ball. You have to guard him in all types of ways. He's a mobile artillery unit.

are yall watching the games

ain't nobody stopping this dude, He's a Nuke on the court. We haven't seen a guard this explosive and efficient since MJ.

Spoiler: Nuclear

30+pts in less than 30 min while shooting 50%

dumb coli hoe nikkas are gonna to ignore this

Kerr made Curry? nah he just gave him free reign and a greener light.
Dat ain't Kerr coaching

Who the fukk cares? Players peak at different times and the ONLY reason Curry didn’t blossom earlier was his ankle issues because Curry was a fukking monster even the two years before Kerr got there. He was just in a stacked West and he still took the championship bound Spurs to 6 with a 22 year old Klay, a 20 year old Harrison Barnes, and Andrew Bogut.

Put him in that weak ass East that AI played in where he was going against a 35 year old Reggie Miller and Jalen Rose or a young ass Vince Carter with a supporting cast of a 37 year old Oakley or 32 year oldAntonio Davis as his teammates?

Curry out hear leading teams to the playoffs In a conference so strong that every team Iverson played in that EC (Pacers, Bucks, Raptors) wouldn’t even be in the playoffs if you put them in it.

Curry is one of the most portable players ever. What system would he not be great in? A GOAT shooter, GOAT off the dribble 3 point shooter, elite ball-handler that can always get his shot off, willing passer with great vision and creativity, unselfish playmaker, and off-ball monster would be a struggle in WHAT offense?

Curry’s lack of ego is one of his strongest features. He’ll willingly let others cook and pressure defenses with the ball out of his hand or initiate the offense.

I'll just have to assume a lot of you are looking at names on paper and boxscores and was to young to remember that 76ers run. To say you couldn't insert Steph and at least get the same result is asinine. Steph is an all around better player and shooter, he would help that team a lot more than AI did. AI had to shoulder the load because that is all he could do. He wasn't a floor general and he didn't create shots for others.The East sucked that year and if any of those teams were better offensively they would have beat the 76ers, the Bucks were pretty much one call a way from doing so, the raptors were one 3point shot from Carter from doing so. I really wish we could go back and collectively revisit some of the playoff series from the early 00's.

 

[Axolotl]

No. As great a shooter that curry is we need to stop forgetting he has 2 other top 10-15 shooters all time on his team

shut up your clown ass up you hermaphrodite. gg

 

[Draje]

nikkas out here talking about Bron terrorizing a weak East yet ignoring who Iverson went through in the EC playoffs like all them teams wouldn’t be in the lottery in the same West Curry got to the playoffs IN.

Last year Lebron sweeps all 3 of those teams and folks would barely register him stomping a 35 year old Reggie Miller in the playoffs but nikkas wanna act like AI was whooping on these elite teams to get 4-1’d by the first championship team he saw.

Seems like people forget that Steph was averaging 24/8/47% shooting the year before Steve Kerr took over. His stats were virtually the same as the first Kerr season, in fact. The biggest thing that changed that led to his insane '16 season was he got an even bigger green light due to Draymond Green becoming the primary facilitator. But all of the factors that have made him a monster with Kerr were always there, Kerr just put in a system that is tailored towards utilizing it in a way that makes the whole team better.

Why do people think the Warriors are such a different team without Curry? People talk about how he's a product of the system - nikka Steph IS the system! Like you said, his off-ball movement, and the fact that he's within range as soon as he crosses halfcourt is the biggest thing that allows the Warriors to play the way they do. When it's just KD it becomes more simplistic pick&roll/iso ball.

 

[jwinfield]

yeah those look like allstar numbers. IVY was a superstar.

Iverson averaged 24/8/4 his rookie year. Are those allstar numbers too, or does crossing over MJ make him a superstar?

 

[The Fukin Prophecy]

Would not have even made the ECF...

AI had to come through as a one man team every game to barely beat that prime VC Toronto squad...

I also can't see him beating prime Jesus Shuttlesworth and that Bucks squad in the ECF...
