Is Steph Curry on his way to passing up Zeke & Stockton & being the 2nd best PG after Magic?

[Rekkapryde]

Zeke is a different story, but Stockton is just getting that 90s bump, imagine him having to lead this Warriors team without a 30ppg PF next to him, and the Warriors asking him to score 28ppg a game in the playoffs.

But Malone aint averaging 30ppg without Stockton.

The passion in which some of these nikkas (myself included) argue the most inconsequential shyt.



Don't know about his place all time but since his game doesn't rely on strength and athleticism I don't see him slowing down for another 8 years.
Also, Draymond at the 5 running the PNR with curry is the most unguardable play in todays game.

When using illegal screens yes it is.

That still doesn't explain why he's a better scorer than Curry.

Just because someone averages more points per game doesn't necessarily mean their a better scorer, from what I've seen Zeke was better, plus he didn't need a gimmick offense to get buckets

Admittedly I've only seen classic games and highlights (that was before my time), and in my opinion the evolution of ball handling began with guys like him. But c'mon man.......

Props for admitting Zeke was before your time, but Curry cant even shake dudes without using a 50 dribble combo, you can only stay with a dribbler for so long before they eventually get past you, that's not impressive at all imo.

What about the rest of the playoffs? We just gonna ignore that Curry was the #1 scorer for 75% of the postseason?

What does that have to do with being the better pg? Dude didnt deliver like he was supposed to for the entire finals. Kerr/or his assistants made the Iggy adjustment and the guy balled out both sides of the floor/was the x factor. Curry is one dimensional man, points or nothing. The Drake of the NBA.

[blackzeus]

Is he even better than CP3 yet? You need nikkas need to apply the brakes to your thoughts

 

[Bomberman]

So has Isaiah

The thing is, I saw Allen Iverson do what Isiah Thomas did, but to another level.

Now I'm seeing Curry do what AI did, but to another level.

I don't know breh, a lot of these moves seem really quick and sudden:

Only thing iverson did to another level was take 30 shots a game. Curry doing what iverson did to another level. What is he doing that's a level above iverson and 2 levels above zeke. I remember isiah and iverson being able to isolate and take their man on a regular basis. Curry need screen after screen. Curry hits crazy 3's and that's his game. Neither iverson or isiah played like that.

And Curry averaged what...24ppg? Y'all n!ggas acting like he dropped 30. I know y'all young'ns aren't used to seeing a player score over 20, but at one time over 20+ was standard for anyone to be considered a good player. To put Curry's 24 & 8-ish in perspective, Timmy has 2 seasons on 23 & 10, wasn't All-NBA team one one and wasn't even in consideration for MVP on any. Steph (starbury) put up the exact same numbers either his last year as a Net or 1st as a Sun, and wasn't on any All-Star team or All-NBA. Hell, he's only made that 2 seasons and was an easy 20 & 8+ apg. KJ had a 4 year stretch of 20 & 10 and was at the highest 2nd All-NBA team.

These are scoring PGs, so I repeat, how is Curry better? Because he shoots 3s?

Curry isn't scoring just off screens though. There' plenty of videos online where you can see him destroying one on one without a screen. There's almost no doubt Curry can lay without screens, because he has shown to be able to do so in the past. Some of his games where he dropped a ton of points he's done plenty of the damage without screens.

If the Warriors have a game plan to use screens with Curry because they feel it's how the offense as a whole best runs, then can you blame them for having a solid game plan? That same game plan got them a title.

Curry averaged more points and assists the season before than Marbury did in his best season while taking less shots and had less minutes per game. This season Curry put up similar numbers on even less minutes and shots.

Also Curry averaged far less minutes than Duncan did on his way to averaging similar points as well.

Curry averaging 24 points and 8 assists in 32 minutes of basketball brehs. That's nearly just 2 and a half quarters. While leading his team to 67 wins in the more difficult conference and even won a title on top of it.

Give him 40 minutes like LeBron's early years in Cleveland and Curry would be averaging 30 and 10 in a more difficult conference than what LeBron was in.

 

[How Sway?]

Nikka hold your horses

So we're forgetting Jason kidd and Gary Payton?
Hell Tbh curry is really just an undersized shooting gaurd.

 

[How Sway?]

So basically we're praising undersized 2 guards who happen to play "point guard" on their current team(s)

All these scoring PGs that @Malta is in love with are basically SGs.
Curry
Rose
Lilliard
Westbrook
and a few others.

Hell im pretty sure the jazz would love to face a bulls team missing pippen and rodman (essentially kyrie and love) and also Anderson V (essentially kukoc, (not bball wise but where he lands in the roation) ) In the finals.

I agree except Westbrook was avg almost 9 assists this past season with no durant while averaging 28 ppg. He can feed the ball and create successful plays for his teammates when he has to.

I am not a basketball loyalist so who is Zeke? Too lazy to google him. Rather the brehs educate me.

 

[thenatural]

Yes..Yes he will
