Steph Curry is bad but Ray Allen the GOAT shooter

[SpacelySprockets]

but if you actually watched prime Ray Allen in Mil/Sea you'd know he was hitting moving shots just as much as Steph was.

obviously he didnt, numbers dont lie

 

[SpacelySprockets]

ray probably has the goat looking jumper but thats where it stops

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Better thread would be how klay Thompson might one day be >>> Ray Allen.

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

Laughable comparison. Ray Allen was an overrated chuck. Good riddance to his career.

id love to see curry deal with hand checks and such, today's numbers are skewed due to the pussification of the league

 

[AlbertPullhoez]

The nerve of him saying that when if not for Ray going to Boston dude in his avi wouldn't have a title

 

[Jesus]

So why is it hard for nikkas to admit Lebron and MJ are both better than Kobe then....? Selective stat ass nikkas..

Look at how defenders are breathing down Curry's neck on every possession and he still gets these shots off.

Please explain how handchecking would stop Curry.


It didn't stop Mitch Richmond from dropping 26ppg, so I'm really curious how the magical properties of handchecking would get the best of Curry

Here we go again

Ray Allen is not better shooter than Curry. Curry can shoot in various ways. His off the dribble shooting is second to none. It's much harder to shoot when you're the pg/main ball handler. Not to mention being 2-3 inches shorter. Ray Allen still shot less than 40% in 12 seasons. Curry never shot less than 42.5% so far.

Ray Allen made more threes than any player in the game, but that doesn't mean he was the best shooter ever. He was great shooter, but his record has a lot to do with his work ethic, health, and his team success than his actual shooting ability (which is still way above average). Just like How Kareem Abdul-Jabbar wasn't the best NBA scorer ever.

This sums up everything here.

No he wasn't.

There were guys before him taking a gang of 3s and making at a solid percentage. We don't even need to point out stars, Dennis Scott took 8 a game and made 43% a year before Ray hit the league.

Well let's not compare Dennis Scott to Ray, because Dennis was a spot up shooter. Ray could drive to the rim and create when he was in his prime. However you're correct that Ray wasn't necessarily a revolutionary like Curry is.

How much would Richmond's second class citizen ass average in this league, no big man, three happy offenses, 9-10 ft a game age, about 35, nikka would look like Kobe in this era

 

[The War Report]

I see a lot of assisted 3pters for Ray Allen and these defenses are abysmal. Most of Curry's 3's are unassisted. Creating your own shot>>>>>>

Ray Allen like Reggie Miller before him was great at getting open off of screens.
