As much as I love Curry's game, I find myself agreeing more than disagreeing. It gets annoying when dudes would rather try some highlight shyt they rarely work on vs. making a good pass or move without the ball.

What's that? LOL

But naw, I'm glad I was too old that I missed the And1 era. They really didn't do that ish here. They ddi emulate AI's crossover and slashing against bigger oppenents and missing. Watching these young'ns play is :scust:

I don't have a problem with the stop-n-pop or set shots. My problem is weaving in and out dribbling for a step-back 3 with a man in his face. Y'all have me wanting to play ball. I haven't been out there for a year.

And-1 movement was even worse. I blame myself too. :snoop: I used to bounce the ball of peoples' heads etc. back in the early 00s lol
this happened to me :mjcry: this cac threw the ball right at my nose. i picked it up and tried to throw it back at his face but i missed and the ball went out of bounds:mjcry: one of the biggest Ls i've ever taken, it was tears in my eyes and shyt, even my teammates had the :lolbron: afterwards

guess u werent around for the And1 fukkery in the early 2000's...this one nikka took his shoe off and threw it at me, and shot a fadeway jumper from 30 feet :scust:

Yep.

I saw a nicca brought the ball up with one hand in his pocket. When he got to the top of the key,
he pulled his hand out the pocket and threw a handful of baby powder at the the dude guarding him
said "POOF", and drove up...
