Scottie Pippen : Steph is NOT a dominant player

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

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.

So smart he threw a wrap around behind the back pass on the baseline with the world title on the line

Steph last season was more dominant that Pippen ever was. Pippen is a all time great but lets not forget how that nikkas acted like a straight bytch in the playoffs with the Bulls when he didn't have MJ

I'm not understanding the correlation...If you're drunk of an uncle says you have a gambling problem why can't both things be true?

I don't judge players based off individual possessions. Curry makes passes like that all the time.

It would only be true if you truly have a gambling problem. Steph had a better season than Pippen ever had. I'm also pretty sure if Steph doesn't get the last shot he's not crying on the bench

Hibbert was damn near 300 pounds

dominate players don't get manhandled and disrespected like that,period.

Plus curry isn't clutch..he tends to fold like a lawn chair & disappear under pressure

Is he a fancy player? Yes..very fancy indeed, but he could never be a dominate player, he not built like that

This is one of the worst basketball takes I've heard all year on this site from start to finish, and that's really saying something

You're a kind forgiving person. That was a horrible decision to make at that pivotal moment of a game 7 to cap off the best statistical season a team has ever had. They crushed Ewing back in the day for the finger roll so Steph isn't above it

You lack comprehension

 

[Champ_KW]

he's saying you have to build a perfect team around steph unlike true greats lebron jordan etc

but don't you have to build the perfect team around Bron too? Can you really drop Bron off on any team and he'll still be "Lebron"? Could he play alongside a player like Russell Westbrook who is ball dominate and still put up his numbers? The only players playing today that I can name off the top of my head that you can drop off anywhere and they'll still be them are KD, Kawhi, and Anthony Davis.

I'm going to leave the gambling analogy alone since it crumbled in your hands. I fail to understand your point behind saying Steph has had a better season than Pip ever has. Lambier recently said he would take Lebron over Jordan. Is Bill disqualified from having an astute opinion since he never averaged 32 8 8? lol

Dominance has a physical connotation to it.
That's understandable.

At the risk of playing games with words, if we change the language we can change the perception, even if it doesn't necessarily change the spirit behind what many consider "dominant".

Call Steph Curry one of the more impactful players in the NBA. Or dangerous. Or dynamic, and I don't think you get much pushback.

Each term sits under the same umbrella of elite, though.

Stop it.

Roy Hibbert is 7'2 and 300lb.

Name a point guard in the league that could take him down...I'm waiting.

Steph didn't think twice about hopping out there.

All Bron does is flop and fake and pretend.

I believe the poster used "manhandled" in terms of him getting dominated by Kyrie
