You're asking me to point them out?

I knew you never pay attention.

Yes I'm asking you to point them out because you're full of shyt. I haven't seen one person on here act or say Curry is the best player ever. So again, who are these posters?

Why would I be mad? I'm asking you to provide evidence behind your claim that posters on this board act/call Curry the best player ever. Where's the evidence?

Unlike you I don't remember all the members and what they post.
But it's certainly not hyperbole to suggest that there's a hype machine around Steph Curry that vastly overrates his actual ability in the context of all-time greatness.

And you're still :umad:

Are you retarded? No seriously Gil, are you actually retarded? When I say "Don't call him Michael Jordan" I AM NOT LITERALLY REFERRING TO YOU. I'm referring to the MEDIA and the sheep who follow them...you know...THE VERY SUBJECT THIS THREAD IS ABOUT.

:why:

The only comparisons to Jordan have been through his offensive impact on the game - which have been valid - he manipulates defensive schemes and is arguably more efficient with similar production than Jordan. That's not saying he has a better resume or his career should be compared to Jordan's, it's just illustrating how he's playing this season.

And GTFOH with this shyt too, Bron was compared to Jordan out the gate before he proved anything. Especially during his first Finals run in 2007. I mean current stars are going to be compared to past greats, no matter their status in the league, it's how it goes. If you didn't have an affinity with LeBron - you'd be bringing up all the rhetoric that his 'haters' use against him - namely the media hype.

You are still continuing to talk about the right now when literally anyone with an IQ higher than 65 can see that my argument is talking historically. Let me spell it out for you. Stephen Curry's resume does not have enough on it for him to have earned some of the historical praise and comparisons he has.

Show me examples of this - examples where his resume doesn't warranted this historical praise/comparisons you speak of.
360Waves said:
know that quite literally the only thing you know how to do in any argument is resort to posting advanced stats but LeBron's shooting numbers from a few weeks back have absolutely nothing to do with what I was talking about. One, because not once did I ever say LeBron is the best player right now but more importantly because Two, LeBron could be the downright worst player in the league right now but that wouldn't negate the fact that HISTORICALLY he has more on his resume to earn him legendary comparisons than Curry does. I guess Kobe's ass percentages this season prove he isn't arguably the 2nd best SG of all time? And you're talking about levels of stupidity.

How Curry is playing right now (this season) deserves to be compared to past greats. The impact he has on the game is equal to past greats. Does that mean he deserves to be ranked besides them or ahead of them in a historical context, of course not. But for the life of me, I'm trying to figure out where you're getting all this nonsense from. And please don't bring up a small panel of media personnel voting him the 4th best PG of all time - not only is that a minute percentage of the "media", but you've been talking about this shyt long before that list even came out.

I want to see all these "legendary comparisons" that are unwarranted.
360Waves said:
Um, yes they are. When Jordan was the face of the league, the Bulls were the leading TV interest. To this day, no NBA Finals game has surpassed Jordan's last Finals ever, which did Super Bowl numbers. When Kobe and Shaq were running the League, the Lakers were the leading TV interest, and again when Kobe was MVP then did his 2peat. When LeBron was the face of the league with the Heat, Miami quickly became the leading National TV interest in the league.

You can't use TV ratings from previous eras to gauge what's going on today. Stop playing dumb.
360Waves said:
And now, despite your contention that Curry is the face of the league, LeBron's Cavs dominate NBA TV ratings. This then, would be the first time in League history that the "face of the league" isn't tied to the most watched team in the league, seems to be breaking a pretty strong pattern. :jbhmm: Maybe we can apply a little Occam's razor here and come to the conclusion that Steph simply isn't the most popular player in the league.

I never called Curry the face of the league.

We're in a period of time when national TV ratings don't give an accurate reading of who is the most popular player. Viewership isn't just through national TV ratings - it doesn't take into account the millions of people who've gone cordless or who're outside this country. I don't think there is a clear cut most popular player in the world at the moment and we're unlikely to know who is (Curry, Kobe and LeBron all have sound arguments). Regardless I still fail to see the relevance here - Curry is arguably the most popular player in the league at the moment (arguably = in the conversation of being the most popular). It was merely to illustrate why his current impact on the game and the level he's playing at has been compared to past greats.

It's pretty clear your reading comprehension is sorry so rather than provide examples I'll ask you to go back through my posts because I've provided plenty already.

:pachaha:

What kind of dumb shyt is this. If you claim that my reading comprehension is "sorry" why wouldn't you to list these examples? You haven't provided plenty of unwarranted comparisons. That's the issue here, you keep spewing this bullshyt yet you can't back it up.

It is hyperbole to suggest he's been called the best player ever. Stars' abilities get blown out of proportion all the time - especially in this day and age. I still fail to see how your comment is valid in why Curry stans are "pathetic" when they don't view him as the best player ever. This is clearly a case of you and others misreading the coverage around him.

Posting highlights of a player's big game in a blowout loss is down right corny, and even more corny is leaving the scoreboard or any information about the game out of the video completely so the uninformed would think that Curry was cooking the Pistons en route to a W.

I noticed you ignored by reply to this.

This is why your perspective can't be trusted when it comes to Curry, because you blatantly ignore the fact that they do this for other players' highlight packages. All you did was manipulate it into suggesting the "media" is trying to push this false narrative of Curry as a player because they left off the game info. I mean what other views of yours concerning Curry are built on outright fallacies? It seems like you're just making up shyt to fuel your hatred for your perceived media portrayal of him.

Shaq was listed as a top 50 player all-time not even 5 years into his career (and that was by the league). What's happening to Curry isn't exactly unprecedented, and this is just by a poll by a sports site.
