Steph curry is avg 15 3PA last 5 games

But you're not even giving him a chance to get there.

Your opinion of him is already set so now you're making assumptions.

How is it set?

I'm on record here in threads as saying that other players have been as successful as Curry on a percentage basis, but what's staggering about Curry is his (current) ability to hit 3s at such high volume.
I personally don't think that's sustainable but he could (and is) proving me wrong.

His defense isn't elite.
His post up game isn't elite.
His ball handling is largely overrated.
And meh, I'll give you that he's a good passer.

But when 51% of your points come from chucking 3s...and I personally don't think that's sustainable....and you aren't really elite in anything else (my opinion..albeit minority opinion)...I don't put you up there in terms of all-time greatness with other players who could do multiple things as good or better.

Look, Curry hits 3s at a .465 clip.
By comparison, Kawhi Leonard hits 3s at a .484 clip.

What has all you mufukkas ooh-ing and aah-ing isn't the the skill. It's the volume.
Kawhi takes four 3s a game.
Curry takes 11.

If Curry shot four 3s a game, none of you would be saying any of this shyt.
If Curry played in any other era where entire teams never even shot fifteen 3s a game, he wouldn't be scoring 30 a game and none of you guys would be saying any of this shyt.

That's the thing I'm trying to drive here.

Never once did I say Curry sucks.
I just don't buy this idea that he's on some unreal level of greatness....yet

Very well thought out and thorough posting.

I'm impressed.

 

[BrothaZay]

He's made 293 three pointers this year.
51% of his points are from 3 point shots.

Dudes an ELITE chucker.
Defense is suspect.
Post game ain't even worth discussing.

If his ability to hit 3s ever falters, he goes from top 3 in the league to top 30.

It is what it is, b.

Breh you thought Warren G was a power forward a week ago.

Bruh stop it, you literally started watching Basketball this season, and it shows.

Like you arguing that other players have had similar %'s but ignoring/downplaying volume, which plays a tremendous role in a players ability to maintain shooting percentages. is insane. Kawhi Leonard isn't shooting remotely close to 48% from three if his volume triples and this is ignoring the context of a much larger percentage of his 3's being unassisted. Skill and volume go hand in hand here but you aren't seeing that.

Curry is an elite finisher, mid range shooter, off ball player, playmaker and a good team defender. The notion that he's only great at one thing is crazy b/c no dominant superstar let alone a guy standing at the top of the league can be one dimensional. I don't know why you pointed out the lack of a post game for a point guard it just seems like you're grasping at straws for whatever reason

You can't be seriously watching this game and think thats he's not performing at a historically great level. Like thats common sense

Jesus christ, you cannot be this fukking dense.

The argument wasn't about Leonard shooting the same percentage with more volume.
The argument was that you people are praising the the volume with which Curry hits the shot. Not the skill of the shot.

It's like you're making my point for me.
The more you shoot, the less likely it's sustainable to shoot a high percentage.

What I'm saying is...Curry...for now...is defying that.
I think it's unsustainable for him...but he's keeping it up.

Did you even read that shyt?

Yeah I read it, you just don't make sense. People ARE praising the skill of his shot b/c it takes skill to take 11 attempts per night and hit 46% of them while having a large portion of your attempts resemble crazy shyt like this

You question whether its sustainable but he took 8 three's per game on average in the three seasons prior to the current, there's nothing really that suggests its unsustainable when he's been doing this over a sample size of 300+ games. I think you're just confused about how skill actually ties into his volume. Like he gets the green light to take so many shots exactly due to his skill.

He's shooting the highest 3P% of his career and also the highest 3PA of his career.

It's incredible that he's been able to do it for 57 games but I don't see it lasting.
I don't understand what the problem is.

A big chunk of this board just talks shyt that goes counter to any mainstream idea.

Did I say Curry sucks? No.
Did I say Curry wasn't a great shooter? No.

What I said was I don't think his 3P% and 3PA are sustainable, and I don't think the rest of his game is on an elite level like say...(and I hate to compare, but) Lebron James.

Yall disagree?
Cool.

terrible posting

you dont have a hot streak for two whole fukking seasons.
stop finding shyt to tear him down...just bask in the sheer greatness

Your mind is already made up that he will fall off soon.

I personally don't think that's sustainable but he could (and is) proving me wrong.

There was a stat earlier this week that said if you take away his 3s that he'd still average around 25 ppg. So it's not like he's only good at just shooting 3s.

His defense isn't elite.
His post up game isn't elite.
His ball handling is largely overrated.
And meh, I'll give you that he's a good passer.

There isn't one PG in the league that plays elite defense. It's the toughest position in the league to defend at this point.

But when 51% of your points come from chucking 3s...and I personally don't think that's sustainable....and you aren't really elite in anything else (my opinion..albeit minority opinion)...I don't put you up there in terms of all-time greatness with other players who could do multiple things as good or better.

Larry Bird wasn't necessarily elite at anything other than shooting and he's considered an all time great. He was a good help defender but couldn't guard a trash can one on one. Only thing Curry is missing from being great is longevity.

Look, Curry hits 3s at a .465 clip.
By comparison, Kawhi Leonard hits 3s at a .484 clip.

What has all you mufukkas ooh-ing and aah-ing isn't the the skill. It's the volume.
Kawhi takes four 3s a game.
Curry takes 11.

You might be right. But if a guy is taking 11 3s a game and hitting 5 of them shyts, that's pretty fukkin' amazing. And it's not like he's doing it on some spot up shyt. He's coming off the dribble, Off of screens and picks, and he's spotting up. So yeah, that shyt is amazing. I think I'm finally starting to see why you're upset.

IF Curry shot four 3s a game, none of you would be saying any of this shyt.
IF Curry played in any other era where entire teams never even shot fifteen 3s a game, he wouldn't be scoring 30 a game and none of you guys would be saying any of this shyt.

IF my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle. Steph is playing in an era right now where the 3 point shot is the most critical shot in the sport. It just so happens tha RIGHT NOW he is better than anyone else doing it. He's not taking four 3s a game. He's taking 11. He didn't play, against Payton, Stockton, Wilt, Big O, or any other HOF'er. He's playing against Kyrie, Sabo, CP0, and Wall.

I think your biggest problem with Steph is how he just blew up on the scene and instead of just questioning it, we're rollin' with it. I don't know long this shyt will last and I honestly dont care but two things are happening right now...

1. I am actually enjoying this shyt.
2. I am enjoying this shyt even more becuz it makes LeBron look damn near irrelevant.

Sure it's terrible.
Yet no logical rebuttals.

I do enjoy the view, though.

my rebuttal was the first sentence. seems like you dont have one.
youre talking about sustainable...yet he has sustained it for more than a season. so what does that say? and the fact of the matter is that he has the best handles in the league too...he can get to the rim at will and create his own shot if necessary.

you call it chucking threes but you've obviously never seen the way in which he practices shooting.
