He is the beneficiary of a movement in basketball that people see him as the symbol of? I know you both don't like making sense, but try.

Only casuals see him as the symbol :dwillhuh:


Don Nelson, Mike Dantoni, John Beilein, RC Buford and Pop, hell even Curry's coach at Davidson, etc have been laying the groundwork for PnR 3 pt heavy small ball for decades.

Stern/Silver and USA basketball made a conscious decision to move American basketball to a more Fiba/Euro style basketball before Curry became "MVP" Curry.

So you giving white men the wisdom of the 3 point shot? :dwillhuh:

Curry literally plays in a system built around the PnR, tons of screening, and running 4/5 out so yeah those are Beilein sets among others:dwillhuh:

Sure Curry's skillset is the ideal for this type of system hence kids idolizing him but he didn't create the system nor would he be as effective without it :dwillhuh:

Curry is changing how basketball is played.

You went from saying he was the catalyst to him being a “symbol”

Seems like you’re the one who is switching up the logic

We can probably make an argument that the 3 point shot was stressed exclusively for white players.. but that’s another thread

Golden State barely runs any PnR, relative to the rest of the league. Its just not a PnR offense.

Nah, I said Curry is changing how the game is played. I never said "catalyst."

I will also add that Curry changed the rules on who your best player has to be in order to win NBA titles.

How Steph impacts the game offensively
Is how prime Dwade was defensively.

He got the most blocks by any player 6'4 or lower.
:yeshrug:

This is an absurd statement...The defensive equivalent of steph's offensive impact is probably impossible for one perimeter to make... Prime DWade was not a defensive transformative player... That'd have to be like a prime Dwight Howard type player, and I don't even know if his impact would really match

How? No player at his size has more rejections. None. The man got almost 900 career blocks...at the 2 position. Considering he came into the league with no meniscus to still remain that explosive..and he's always been a two way player..
