Steph Curry is bad but Ray Allen the GOAT shooter

[Malta]

The game progresses with time, so yes some players should be better than in years past. But Ray was a pioneer in his time too.....

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.

Ray's shooting got him rings, Reggie's didn't.

@mastermind these dudes really gonna make me collate a list of quotes from others pros about Curry being the best shooter ever like they have for Scholes on f365.

We're actually witnessing the GOAT shooter in Steph Curry right now...We should just enjoy it.

This is something old and new fans can finally agree on...

Curry just entering his prime now

 

[Woodrow]

Ray played 18 yrs, Stephan only 6 so far. So in only a 3rd of the time, he has tied or surpassed Ray except for in "all time career 3 pt".

Most 3-pt field goals, season
286 Stephen Curry 2014-15
272 Stephen Curry 2012-13
269 Ray Allen 2005-06

Most seasons leading league, 3-pt field goals
3 Ray Allen
3 Stephen Curry

/Thread

Like I said before

Steph shoots 4 percent better than Ray, 5 percent better than Reggie and 7 percent better than Bird (career numbers) while shooting hundreds more 3s a season....look it up guys.

Steph curry shot .437 from 3 his rookie season
Ray shot .393

It's legit not even close.

grand closing.

Why is this even a debate, Steph is CLEARLY the greatest shooter to play the game

 

[He Who Posts Well]

Love Steph and he's the king of this shooting shyt at the moment but I gotta go with Jesus

If you only saw Ray in Boston you lost. Seattle and Milwaukee versions>>>>>>>> . Ray wearing the 34 was so much more than the catch and shoot version of Ray we saw in Boston

Prime Ray Allen was












His release was

The Sonic's announcer definitely earned his pay check with all those 'Raaaaay Allen' chants

 

[Woodrow]

by every objective, measurable analytic... steph curry is the best shooter we've ever seen.

and the kid is just now entering his prime.

tuck ur old school, nostalgia-fueled feelings away and enjoy greatness.

I only watched the first vid.....shyt made me moist

Not in this context you haven't.

Can't have it both ways

 

[stepbackj34spud]

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.

Great fukking post.

 

[K.Y.R.I.E]

Steph Curry is on another level breh

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Can't have it both ways

And what ways might they be?
