No, they do not. And the reason why they're so successful is because of Steph's ability and gravity off the ball.

If Steph wanted to stay on-ball ball and hunt assists he could easily average 8-10 dimes.

Stop the miniature SG shyt :camby:



You're proving my point

His "gravity" gives him easier passing lanes and more open teammates because of over helping on his elite all time shooting ability

He makes the dumbest decisions in the 4th quarter and crunch-time

Nope, you knocking him as a PG because of how good of a shooter he is dog that’s part of the game.

Is it cool if I knock Magic Johnson’s passing because he’s 6’9? :mjlol:

Should I post a gif of Magic dribbling the clock out in the Finals? :mjlol:

There’s nothing wrong with Steph’s decision making. He makes mistakes sometimes just like anyone.

More talented than Chris Paul?

Easily.

Height for your position is significant. Penny was a 6'7" PG. Fukk what Basketball Reference says. This is why you shouldn't build your basketball opinions on reading stats from a website. Penny Hardaway had people thinking he might beat Michael Jordan in the playoffs. Chris Paul has never been close to being perceived as a threat to Kobe or LeBron when they ran the league and were winning chips. Chris Paul is arguably the best little man in NBA history (along with Allen Iverson and Isiah Thomas). Penny on the other hand is in another category. He was seeing the likes of MJ and Pippen eye to eye.

This isn’t far fetched. Penny had nice handle ,could finish with both hands,post game, passing, could drop 25-40, his range wasn’t that great but could shoot 3’s

Penny was being called the new school magic Johnson coming out Memphis state

Don't forget sublime feel for the game. He ran the early 2000s Suns offense better than Jason Kidd eventhough they were listing him as the SG.

Even after the knee injuries robbed him of his explosiveness he remained an effective player because of his mind.

if Chris Paul had his health and full athleticism (relative to other PGs his age), I think he'd have at least 2 rings

Nah. He was simply too short. Other than Isiah Thomas, no lil guy has ever led a team to titles. Basketball is a tall man's game. Normal height individuals like CP3 and A.I. can't lead teams to titles.
