Scottie Pippen : Steph is NOT a dominant player

[#1 pick]

No one can seriously win in the NBA without good teammates. It's a team sport.

if u cannot understand that curry depends more on the rules and teammates than anyone else in history, then you don't really know basketball. if you put him on some random team in the mid nineties, he would be at best mark price status. he wouldn't be gettin mvps, he wouldn't be first team all-nba. that is because he depends on having lax physicality and others that make it easier for him to get his little fakkit shots off. he is exactly like steve nash in that regard. rule changes and system changes make him look much better than he really is. this little light-skinned fakkit about to get exposed for the second year in a row.

KILL YOURSELF

They only talking about his shooting which is streaky.

There aint a single player that has him in the same class as Durant and LeBron.

He's a media creation.

You do know Mark Price made 1st team All NBA

And how would he be Mark Price at best when he's bigger, more athletic and a better shooter/scorer?

I just saw Austin Rivers say Curry is all but unguardable and the best thing to do is to try to attack him physically.

I saw Kobe get exposed by Steve Nash, drop a 3-1 lead, and watch Steve Nash show everyone why he was the rightful MVP. Kobe wasn't good enough to check Steve Nash and stop him from running the offense while dropping skyhigh efficiency. Did Nash expose Kobe or did the Suns outplay the Lakers?

Curry's range, shooting, handle, and off-the-dribble shooting makes Kobe look like Lebron

It's funny...you can use the same arguments that you use to prop Kobe over Lebron to prop Curry over Kobe.

Curry is a much better shooter, better off the dribble, has more range, better at contested shots, and doesn't care about taking easy shots despite being much less athletically gifted. He does more with less. Can't all those apply to your argument for Kobe being better than Bron?

Dude your basketball opinions are terrible. You honestly know nothing about basketball if you're gonna make arguements like this.

Nash uses picks and passes the ball. Kobe guarding him would be pointless. What would it prove? Its not like Nash was scoring 30ppg. He's a passer who uses the pick n roll. Only way to stop a player like that is TEAM DEFENSE. The only reason the Lakers lost is cause Kobe had Smush Parker, Kwame Brown, and Luke Walton as starters alongside him.

Kobe did his thing that series. He scored 50 points in game 6 and he also hit the buzzer neater game winner in game 4. Give him a halfway decent supporting cast and he does to Nash what he did in 2010 western conference finals.

You honestly know nothing about basketball.

@Swagnificent

Kobe's a c00n tryin to get love from the cac media.

I'll just wait and watch Kyrie cook this dude again.

Steph Curry = gimmick

Players who don't think Curry is dominant domt understand basic defensive schemes and principles. It's that simple.

Curry is like a +10 stat boost for every other player on the court. He's a perfect example of how playmaking isn't just passing (Even though he's a very talented passer with great creativity and vision). His use of misdirection, his offensive gravity, and his basketball IQ is probably top 3 in the game.

And yet Kyrie outplayed him last year.

Keep trotting out this bullshyt. We all saw what happened last year. And we're gonna see it again this year.

What excuse will you have when Kyrie makes Steph his bytch again?

 

[Swagnificent]

Only players more impactful than Curry are Lebron and Durant.

Lebron is the best playmaker, most experienced leader, has the highest basketball IQ, and physical gifts.

Durant is the most talented and best scorer, a great playmaker (Not Curry or Durant's level though), a legit defensive anchor, and absolutely unguardable.

Curry is a scheme breaker. The fact that you have to consistently pick him up 35 feet out already screws up how most defenses get set up. He's not quite the natural scorer Durant is but he's smarter, better at being a decoy, a more talented passer, and he's a better leader. He's not quite the playmaker Lebron is but he's a much better shooter and much better off the Ball. His weakest aspect is that he's only a good defender but he's never gonna be a game changer like the other two.

They all got advantages but I'd say Curry is probably a tad more impactful than Durant on offense (Despite being less talentedX obviously) but much less on defense.

And yet Kyrie Irving outperformed him by every metric last year. You love stats. Please tell us what did the numbers say last year?

And we all know based on the eye test who was better last year.

Kyrie Irving, Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, and Russell Westbrook are all better than Curry.

And honestly if he wasn't such a beta male so would Klay Thompson.


Curry is borderline top 10. And that's mostly cause the league is so drained for talent right now.

 

[Cadillac]

Reading this and sure enough the same Bron stans and Curry detractors in here with their stupidity

 

[THE MACHINE]

Old players always hate on Steph, it's nothin new

Old players always hate on younger players, it's nothin new .


Magic might be the exception

 

[SuperNintendo Chalmers]

If the nikka was a few shades darker and came from a poor family you all would love him.

 

[SpursFanSinceNovember2017]

Steph Curry is the best player in the World.

He just lacked another STAR to keep him fresh and take away double/triple teams off of him.

 

[Kami]

He pretty much said kd is better

 

[Swagnificent]

If the nikka was a few shades darker and came from a poor family you all would love him.

Klay Thompson is lighter than him and has a NBA father as well and nobody hates on him.

Maybe Steph Curry is just overrated and you losers who love just cant bear to admit it.

 

[TrebleMan]

The shooting/scoring on all levels, finishing, decision making, court vision, and handles he brings makes any team a threat and contender.

You need team defense to beat Steph because if your rotations are off he'll make you pay and if nobody checks him he'll make you pay. I don't know how that isn't dominant.
