Steph Curry right now is better than Kobe ever was

[DetroitEWarren]

And....... You don't watch basketball, the Warriors or probably don't even play.

I watch more basketball than damn near everybody in here breh . Been doing it since league pass was created and before then in less doses. Your post was just dumb as hell my nikka

Iverson having 4 scoring titles is nice and all, but he was an inefficient ball hog. Do you not realize what it means to have a point guard that can score so quickly and efficiently from 0 to 30 feet, that can play off the ball, that can make passes when necessary, that can score 20 points in no time flat?

I'm a warrior fan and I had no idea Steph would be this good, or that any player could be this good. I constantly see him break an opponent's back as they cut into a lead and Steph takes a 30 foot shot and drills it like a practice layup. Are you really going to pretend like this is normal behavior?

steph is amazing!!! i don't think we should shyt on iverson and upp steph in the same sentence. Again him and AI played in 2 entirely different systems and had different responsibilities for their teams.

With all things being equal steph will always shoot better than AI. AI will have the advantage in getting to the line and probably PPG

Look, I was an AI fan and defended him for years but I called it like I saw it.. he was an inefficient ballhog and that just doesn't allow great play. The truly great teams work as a team and AI was just too damn selfish. I'm not shytting on AI but I have to be honest about him.

I'm not even remotely a fan of Kobe's (:jjjjj: ) but Kobe is a step above AI. I can place Curry above Kobe if Curry can play this way consistently in the playoffs. He performed at a high level in 2013, seemed banged up in 2014, and had a good but not supernal performance in 2015. His career is early but he's already entered a tier that AI never reached.

This dude is shooting 51% from the field while taking 11 threes a game, I don't think some of you understand how that is.


Statistically speaking this is an anomaly on a level right there with Wilt scoring 50ppg, you're watching some shyt that should not be happening, but is.

nate archibald led the league and scoring and assist

Tiny Archibald played his prime years in a league without a 3 point line. He did not play in the modern era.

You know better than to step to me. Stop raising up Iverson to a level he didn't reach himself.

iverson has 4 scoring titles and is 3 inches shorter than curry

lol curry is great but folks need to stop living in the moment. The rules favor his style of play in the game today. That's factual

The rules have nothing to do with his style of play, there isn't a defense past or present designed with the idea of a guy shooting 45% from three while taking 11 a game, a good amount of which are off the dribble.

How do the rules favor his style of play? Especially when AI played a portion of his career with these very same rules You stay talking out your ass and referencing some rules while never being able to break it down beyond just saying "the rules!"

Can curry lead the league in scoring at least twice before we put him over anyone like kobe or AI?

I get it, he's having an amazing year. But can he sustain it for 2-3 more and do it in the playoffs. We will see.

It's funny how only me and a handful of posters on here believed in curry this same time last year and now pretty much the whole sports forum has him as the GOAT after to Jordan.


Some of joy actually think he's better

Tim Duncan's never led the league in scoring at all.

I'm too lazy to look, how many scoring titles does Kareem have?


Curry's impact is fukking absurd. I'm going to leave it at that.

Bet I watch more basketball than you

I just love the game

Anyways, You still have yet to mention why anything I said in the post was far from true

 

[Absolut da poet ®]

isn't Steph like 28-29 ?

he'll have to win the next four rings consecutive

ehhh... let's see if he stays healthy enough to do that

over the next ten years

This is true.

Although you could put Kobe in his prime on the other teams best wing player on defense.

I never really liked Kobe, but I can never forget about defense when comparing great players.

Kobe could guard other wing players, but it was rare that it actually happened. People have repeated the "Kobe will score 35 and shut down your best player" so many times that people actually believe it but we all know Kobes defense was usually being hidden on the Keith Bogans types.

You're replying to a comment that wasn't even directed at you and I'm the crazy one?

I realize it wasn't directed at me. I'm calling you crazy because you claimed dude didn't watch Warriors games - when it is you who sounds like you don't watch games.

I can't remember what page it was on so I could easily quote it and answer like that, but a nikka lazy as hell breh.

Off top, u said Curry never faced defenses that could lock in on him. Yet, Curry has literally changed how defense needs to be played and EASILY gets more defensive attention than anyone since MJ. This shyt ain't even questionable.

U said Curry gets most his points off 3's and assists meaning u clearly don't watch basketball. THE nikka IS SHOOTING THE 2ND HIGHEST % IN THE PAINT FOR EVERYBODY, NOT JUST GUARDS. Please think about that for a minute. Also only assisted on something like 26% of his buckets. U said some other shyt that I don't feel like looking back at. It's all good though breh . Everybody can't be b ball geniuses like @DetroitEWarren and @Gil Scott-Heroin

Nah.
