Old School vs New School:Ai v Chef Curry

[UpAndComing]

I really, truly love AI. His cultural significance, heart, and pound-for-pound-he-goes-fukking-hard bonus points just never made him as great as his stans want people to remember him as. He was something else to behold, and unapologeticaly street/hiphop.... but that doesn't make him a top 5 all time player, man.

Still better than Curry though

Curry is still shooting better in this finals than AI did in his entire 01 run. You dudes are hilarious. Acting like AI didn't have MULTIPLE games where he shot below 35% in the playoffs.

Curry is still a much better player

At what? Being a drunk gambling stupid nikka who disenfranchised, disaffected nikkas idolize? I loved AI... but he was never, ever as good as his narrative. I honestly can't even fathom what the argument for AI is at this point. The AI vs. Wade thread was maybe the worst point of this goofiness. But this comparison is sad and stupid too.

Oh god, this word is literally making me sick now seeing it in every other post

Wade >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> then any shooting guard not named Jordan

Curry can't even get by Delytoyota, causing turnovers and you so shocked to think that AI is better than him

Actually, we need to stop this AI was a Chucker narrative, his career FG% was 42 percent and I think around 40 in the playoffs, not elite by any means but not poor either especially taking into account he played on an extremely limited offense in Philadelphia.

It's an incredibly common word, not unique to this board at all.

If you truly think Curry is being locked up by Delly rather than hindered by a carefully crafted defensive strategy.... yeah.

AI shot 11-39 from 3 in the Finals. Over a span of 6 games during that playoff run, AI had 4 games in which he shot 5-27, 5-26, 6-24, and 8-27.


There ain't enough Steph Curry slander in the world to offset the facts about AI. His commercial with Jadakiss>>>>>>any Steph commercial so far. I'll give him that.

Congratulations Warriors.

Congrats Andre Iguodala.
