Yes mentally timid, like how he refused to drive against Kevin Love in Game 7 of the finals and settled for a terrible fadeaway.
Like I said Curry is too light weight and slow to be compared to the defense that Zeke could deliver.
Why would i take the ball out Penny's hands for steph, unless you talking about running steph as a spot up and curler shooter?

He wanted to tie the game. That's not being mentally timid, but making a decision to answer back with a three of his own.

Was Zeke even stronger than Curry? Certainly not bigger, and was far from a defensive stallworth.

Yeah off ball scoring is what makes him a fit next to any player. He spends half of a game already running miles off screens. You shouldn't be reluctant to take the ball out of Penny's hands anyway when he was a good off ball player himself and you can involve the best three point shooter ever with the best inside scorer ever in a P&R.

Weak ass answer and a cop out
FOH:camby:

Iggy socred 25 in game 6 and it got hyped up. Lebron averaged 35 on him :heh:
It would be either Lebron for the effort or Curry for being the best player on the best team, if Iggy wasn't a bench player he wouldn't have won it.

this doesn't make sense, he's outplayed Kyrie Irving in multiple games.

Who's approaching MJ here? Zeke was NEVER close to Jordan, and it's reaching to say that he beat Jordan/Bird/Magic when that was a full team effort.


zeke is absolutely top 15 and in the same mansion as jordan (not the same room) but he in the building.

steph curry can't even get a job cutting the grass of the mansion yet

fukk wanting to tie the game, you got love on you, you attack him and go hard to the basket you might be able to pick up a foul, but to over dribble play around outside and make a stupid shot, isn't the answer.

Yes Zeke was stronger than Curry and he was better defensively than Curry.

What Curry scores he gives up, so thats the problem.

You forgot Lebron was lurking in the paint. You know he would of just left the corpse of Barnes if Curry drove the paint. Why wouldn't Curry take that 3? :dwillhuh: We've seen him make harder shots a ton of times.

He doesn't want to acknowledge that part

Just playoff games makes more sense, but even then it's not like Isiah's defense had a lot to do with the Pistons defensive strategy against Jordan. With the way they played him, there are a lot of players including Curry you could put in that situation and say they outplayed MJ for a couple games.
You OBVIOUSLY are not old enough to have seen the Pistons play back then :dahell: Isiah was a HUGE part of the defensive scheme :martin: it was his and Dumars responsibility to keep the ball out of his hands and keep him out of the lane...the Bulls had no success against the Pistons until the were able to get sharpshooting guards who could play off the ball and make Isiah pay when he went to help on Jordan. No chance in Hell Curry could have played Zeke's roll :beli:
Nah what I'm saying is you can't subsitute Curry in the piston's system, too slow of foot, too soft.
You damn right :stopitslime:
