Neither one of them are

I rather have Curry over Westbrook. Its close. It depends on the roster. Curry is a better player to build around IMO

I agree, but to I'm actually pleased that his game has matured so much. I wasn't impressed while he was at Kentucky, sure he had talent but I didn't get the impression he was in control of what was happening on the court.

he is part of the reason UK is back since are run in the 90's

 

[USSInsiders]

I really hope that's just your schtick, breh. :pause:

it sort of is, but let's be 100-percent real here.

His mom is a beautiful woman. He looks very, very similar to his mom. Using the transitive property of fine ass redbones, he is a beautiful man. I'm not gay, but we all recognize when someone is attractive.

Breh, nobody controls shyt at kentucky. All they do is get the most talented, athletic people that can run, throw them together on a team and let them try and out-talent all the cac teams.

Wall was doing nothing but piping dimes and doing the dougie in his early years. It's like late last year he realized, " shyt, I'm nice at this game, lemme stop clubbing all day every day and actually play ball"

breh

he had one of the best teams in the country and literally nothing but 1st round talent at every position. and people STILL thought he might not have even been the best PG on his own team. they might be right too.

Bledsoe>>>>>>Brick Wall

Meanwhile, John Wall spent the first three years in the league taking horrible shots that may as well be turnovers, finishing weak as hell, or passing the ball late to teammates and watching them miss in order to protect his numbers. He's doing the Marbury but being humble about it. The thing is, Washingon has surrounded him with every tool a young PG needs to succeed - shooters all over the court, physical bigs that know how to finish, guys that know how to run - and he's straight mediocre and flashy. That's it. Kyrie, Teague, MCW, Curry would all put the Wizards in a better situation than Wall does currently.

That's why it's disingenuous when dudes have been saying this 'he impacts the game when he isn't scoring' on some he plays the PG position the right way bullshyt this season, naw, it's just he has team mates that are capable of covering up holes that he's left or from Wittman. Similar thing with Lillard too. I'm been left dumbfounded many times this season when folk have been throwing this 'but x-pg's team is in the playoffs' false conclusive phrase against the wall, hoping it'll stick.

I feel you. I like Lillard. I do. But


As much of a shotmaker as he is, every team in the league knows and acknowledges that Portland's the most hardline inside-out team in the league. Even more than the Bobcats. And its not a knock on him... at least not a big one. LMA should've finished third in MVP voting. He was that important and that good to top team's success this year. But because of the Blazers being so firmly hinged on that is exactly why the Spurs are tearing into these guys right now and making it look easy. Once you get to the playoff level where teams and coaching staffs make it their full-time job to make single key players on opposing teams irrelevant it becomes clearer to everyone how those guys get bottled up OR fight back and force them to play honest.


There's already a disgustingly long list of guys added to the , , , and list just this year. Some guys can and should bounce back because they've actually shown growth beyond getting stronger or just better acclimated to the game in general. Guys like Wall though? What has he actually done to get better? He wouldn't have even played as good last year if he didn't get hurt and was literally forced by God to slow down instead of playing at one pace and style like he has been since his AAU days. There's nothing he's added to his game since college that even remotely implies he's going to figure it out. Curry un-traumatized himself to finally trusting his teammates to hit a layup after his time in Davidson. Bledsoe STFU and let himself be taught. Dragic took his licks then hit the weightroom. Lowry spent YEARS putting in more work than any other young PG that I can think of going from a no-shot, no-handle, 6 hard fouls defensive bulldog to a true team leader at PG. Tony Parker went from a hated scrub to one of the best PGs in the league over the past decade. Even Kemba Walker learned how to play PnR.

John Wall can't even make life easy for himself and learn how to play off-ball.

tl;dr: john wall is the of PGs

Hell no he aint curry and probably will never be. He runs a team well which is important for a point guard, but I don't see him as a take over offensive star that Curry is.

why does he have to be? why cant nikkas be great based on their own merit and not in comparison to someone else? was isiah not great because he ran a team different than magic?

Because im responding to a thread comparing the nikkas

 

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]

they really shouldnt even be compared....the only similarity is that they play PG

 

[Liquid]

When has anyone said he was Curry?

Yeah I am waiting for that also.

 

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

Steph Curry?
