Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf aka Great Value Steph giving the ‘96 Bulls that work

[HandyWithTheSteel]

What an autistic post from an autistic poster

Reggie Miller was completely one dimensional and did nothing other than come off of screens for 3 pointers. No handles, no playmaking or passing, couldn’t drive, and played no defense.

And he wasn’t even that good of a shooter. Look at that garbage ass shooting form.

Lonzo Ball ass nikka.

He’s a homeless man’s Klay except Klay is a way shooter and actually plays defense. And he was the best player on a perennial contender Pacers team in the ‘90s.
Kyle Korver is dominating that era.

Reggie Miller had the clutch mamba mentality and played big in big moments. something steph curry (as superior as he is to reggie otherwise) could honestly use.

Mark Price is closest thing to steph curry as player.

Mark Price is much smaller and less athletic than Curry, didn't have near the range or the handles and couldn't finish at the rim.

I can't imagine how he ever could survive the 1990s. He wouldn't last 20 games. Wait, did you say 1st-team All-NBA?

Y'all really in here tryna play Mighty Mouse. Mighty Mouse had one of the best Rookie seasons from a PG EVER.

Isn't that the whole point? That someone with Stoudamire's size and skill set could put up amazing numbers in the mid-1990s? You just played yourself.

Reggie was streaky as hell. If Steph had as many weak games in big moments as Reggie did he would be mocked for eternity. Imagine prime, healthy Steph going 5-13 for 12 points in an elimination game.

Steph is not atheletic enough to say he much more athetlic than anybody. I dont why you say he doesnt have the ramge either, he shot over 40% from 3 several times.

Curry's athleticism is only underrated because today's NBA players are absolutely ridiculous athletes. He is a FAR more athletic player than Mark Price ever was.

Curry has a 35.5" vertical. What do you think Mark Price was rolling with, 27-28" tops? Could he even dunk?

This is Curry dunking. Price couldn't possibly touch this. He used to look terrible getting challenged at the rim and would end up throwing up garbage if he wasn't ready for it, while Curry is an elite finisher because he can actually spend time in the air.





Watch him - he's in the air long enough he can go up with one hand, not even switch hands until he's already peaked and still hit the reverse on the other side.





Meanwhile, this is Mark Price trying to finish in traffic



You are NOT telling me that guy is touching Steph as an athlete.



And on top of that Curry is much more agile than Price, changes directions much quicker, and probably has better top-level speed and endurance too.

None of this is really true. Miller elevated his offensive performance in the postseason in a way that stars almost never do because of increased defensive attention (Karl Malone, David Robinson two all-time level players who struggled more than Reggie). He did create his own shot occasionally with mid range pull ups and leaners from 16 feet out. Was a great finisher on cuts and in transition. Didn't need a strong handle to create his own shot when he found ways to spring himself open off ball, got to the line a ton (what is usually missing when Miller is called one dimensional) and was a great contested shooter (Korver, JJ's problem in the playoffs). When he stepped on the floor the Pacers cranked out strong offenses year in year out despite the fact that they never had an elite creator alongside him. More or less the grandfather of "gravity" that we tag with Curry today; everyone on his team was made better by his presence off ball.



^from Ben Taylors profile on Miller

Some say Carmelo is one of the most complete on ball scorers of the era yet he can't even touch Miller in terms of playoff consistency. On ball skill isn't everything.

Don't really need to downplay how great he was to talk up Steph. Though I agree that Steph would be a MVP level player in the 90s. He would make Utah a much better team in replace of John Stockton whose limitations as a half court scorer really hurt Utah in the playoffs.

 

[ISO]

He was much more balanced with much stronger legs than weak ankle curry

Curry didn't deal with physically or hand checking

You seen what dellavedova and van fleet did to him

Imagine Jordan hand checking him picking him up full court

Curry is much stronger than Rauf. Curry’s core strength is ridiculous.

What a great core




flabby b*stard hurt himself just jumping

you know nothing if you think curry has a better base

They literally didn't pay him on his first contract for that reason.

Weak ankles= super weak hamstrings and glutes forcing ur ankles to carry more weight

So how can he have a stronger base or would he be better prepped for a much more physical era.

You saying this because of some injuries?

Curry been overcame that shyt and he’s much stronger than Rauf. He’s 6’3 190 lb. and can deadlift over 400 pounds.
Stephen Curry took his game to another level by mastering an intense routine of core and leg exercises

cosign that core strength. He's one of the best finishing small guards in the NBA (67% at the rim over the last five years) because he can take contact against a much larger defender and still do exactly what he wants with the ball.
