Steph isn't shooting 57% from mid range, only at that one sport on the court. He hovers around 48% normally.
Like I keep saying, Steph is the top shooter of all-time right now.
But I still don't see him as being a great scorer than prime Kobe given what he did about 10 years ago.
Why do people only look at the highs instead of the overall body of work?
Kobe has some absolutely amazing and explosive scoring performances but just because Kobe had those highs, you gotta look at the lows too.
Durant never had an 81 point game in a single season but he still end up averaging 32 PPG on 50% shooting which is better than any of Kobe's scoring seasons. Kobe had a better single game but does it make him a better scorer when Durant ended up with a better numbers across the entire season?
Steph has consistently scored similar PPG despite taking way less shots, playing way less minutes, and leading his team to a GOAT season.
nikkas act like Curry isn't sitting out almost entire fourth quarters while dancing and barely looking drained. Imagine if they let him do some 2K shyt and kept him there to showboat during blow outs.
Again, the difference between Curry and Kobe's efficiency is like comparing Durant to Iverson. Curry takes more threes than Kobe and hits them at a much better percentage despite the fact that he probably takes worse shots.
Curry night not be as versatile as Kobe but does it matter? He still impossible to stop.
