Steph curry is avg 15 3PA last 5 games

[Remote]

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



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.



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.



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.




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 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.

Actually this is a good post.

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?

You think 1 season constitutes a long enough sample size to define sustainable?
Bruh...

Does Avery Bradley count as a PG?

yes.


in the last four seasons ...his 3PAs have amounted to about 48% of his FGAs. Season by season? 43%, 44%, 48% and 55% respectively. And his 3PM% has never been below 42%

In his first few seasons only about 35% of his shots were threes. He has sustained the efficiency for four seasons. I dont get how you can say otherwise


It just so happens that he is now has more FG attempts. With Klay emerging has a top 3 SG and a GOAT shooter in his own right...it will only free up Steph and help him sustain it that much more. shyt we got fukkin Speights hitting threes now too

None of this matters though. You could remove the 3 point line, and combining FGs with FTs he'd still be dropping 25 points a game. . He can score from anywhere with or without an assist

Man... I've seen that boy defend the 1, 2, and 3 and do it well.

 

[Notorious Jerry]

It's not like that at all

Agree to disagree.

You coming off as pretty foolish breh dudes the best shooter of all time why go to the goal or post up ect if you don't have to because nobody can't defend your 3 ball. Dude was right that's like saying who is Mj with out his athletic ability. You trying to discredit his game and it's coming off as you don't watch sports, elite dribbling/passing isn't needed? gtfo.

If you take away his threes he's averaging only 15 points. You can't say he would be averaging 25 if he would take twos on those shots instead because that's like saying Kawhi could average close to 30 too if he took as many shots as Curry with 11 of them being threes.

I think they included his FTs made.

Doesn't sound like you're including that.

I am actually. Curry is making an incredible 5 threes a game. He's averaging 30.7 points so if you take out the threes he has 15.7 left. That includes his 4.9 FTs so he scores less than 11 points per game on twos.

I'm just going by the stat. I'm not sure how they got the calculations.

Maybe they meant if his 3 pt makes were 2 pt shots. I really don't know.

All I know is it seems a bit unfair to continue to discredit him for that. He's putting 'em up and he's knocking 'em down.

True but many Curry stans do knock Harden for his FTs, LeBron for his bulldozing to the rim etc. Everybody has their own strengths that they rely on. Curry's is definitely his 3 point shot and he's not more versatile than any of the other top players. I think that's what people were getting at.

The fukk is wrong with u nikkas. Dude is shooting the 3 at the most efficient rate in NBA history, finishing at the basket at the most efficient rate for a PG in NBA history, scoring off the ball at the most efficient rate in NBA history for a PG, averaged 8.5apg (higher than Bron Westbrook or Harden EVER did) in the more isolation system of Mark Jackson, tied for 2nd in the league in steals, 3rd amongst PG's in rebounds, and along with Draymond, Steph points out everything on defense as a TEAM DEFENDER.

Why do nikkas try so damn hard to take away from shyt like that? The nikka has the highest PER EVER. Do u nikkas know what "of all time" and EVER actually means? nikkas can't be serious with this bullshyt.

Oh yeah, he also makes 47% of his mid range jumpshots, which is also the highest in the NBA. Also leads the NBA in % made on contested jumpers. The nikka is DOMINATING the game in much more than shooting 3's. You nikkas man

We were talking about him not being more versatile than the other elite players breh, not about Curry not being versatile at all.

No need to just blatantly lie and make nonsensical statements related to absolutely nothing though. Westbrook is averaging more assists than 8.5 right now, LeBron and Harden aren't even point guards and are averaging the same or more assists. Poor defenders tend to look for steals and the 'pointing things out on defense along with Draymond' is just laughable. Off the ball scoring is irrelevant as is the finishing around the rim efficiency as I already pointed out with the Kawhi 3PT FG% example. The same also applies to his mid range jump shots.

Take away his ability to shoot the three ball and he is still a good player but not dominant at all. Tell us why you mad some more though..

Just like we've had to come to grips with Harden weird rate of getting to the line and LeBron's bulldozing, yall will have to come to grips with this kid shooting these 3s at this clip.

This post makes no sense. Take away LeBron's athletic ability and combine it with the terrible mid range shooting he's had this season and his stats would be a joke.

But we're not doing that with him. The IF FACTOR only applies to Steph. Why is that?
