We been knocking KD, but how does this signing affect Curry's potential legacy?

[KOBE]

There has never been any rivalry between LA and GS. Besides that, Curry's been the best player in the league the past two seasons up until this year's Finals. Very few players achieve that level of success. He's setting shooting records every year.

Curry is one of a kind. There's nothing wrong with appreciating how great he is while being a fan of another team.

He was never better than Lebron or Durant, y'all just stayed delusional. Basketball is a two way sport and Curry's greatness is only demonstrated on one end.

Division rival is a divisional rival, you don't see the rest of us Laker fans supporting any of the other division players/teams.

He's been lowkey stanning them all season lol

I feel like that has been the case with many Laker fans this year.

Some Coli Posters are dumbbutts.

3 doesn't equal 3 now?

 

[ghostwriterx]

Except they're not.

So JJ Reddikk was the best shooter this year?

Shooting is more than just 3pt shooting. Of course Steph is elite at just about everything from half-court to the rim so.

Curry attempted TWICE as many threes as Redikk yet there's only a 2% difference between their 3-pt makes. You know this, so why even bother posting this nonsense?

You don't say.

The point is, 3-pt shooting and shooting are the SAME - they're not different things. And before you reply, yes just because you're the best 3-pt shooter doesn't automatically make you the best shooter.

I can think of at least one Bulls fan that was a hardcore stanley
Couple Lakerstans that tried to drift over to the town
A Knicks fan and a Pistons fan
A guy that claims to have no team but was the largest stan of all

But they know who they are

Eh, I get that line of thinking, but the quality of shots is more relevant than the raw total of attempts.ie in a vacumm given the quality of shots remains the same there's no reason shooting percentage should decline.

Yes.

Best 3 pt shooter and Best shooter are two different things.

Except they're not.

What are you talking about.

They're one and the same. They're not different things, yet just because you're the best 3-pt shooter (by a general measure) doesn't automatically mean you're the best shooter.

x-player isn't automatically the best shooter just because he's the best 3-pt shooter. =

x-player is better than y-player at 3-pt shots in general by a slim margin
y-player is better than x-player at jumpshots all over the court, inside/outside the arc combined by a considerable margin

What are you talking about.

What's so hard to understand? Just because you're attempts go up doesn't mean the quality of your shots necessarily declines with more attempts.

But, that's what you just said.

I don't see how this has any relevance to you using my logic of Redikk being the best shooter in the league.

But, that's what you just said.

No I didn't. I said they weren't two different things. It was more in reference to his whole Jordan v Curry comparison.

If they're not different things than how it would be possible to be the best 3pt shooter, but not the best overall shooter?

The Jordan comparison is silly, Steph is the GOAT shooter its not debateable at this point, but the comparison does bring up an interesting point about how we define "great" shooters. Range is certainly part of the equation, but if someone is great from behind the arc, but poor from mid-range and/or at the line ex. JR Smith, would they be considered a better shooter than someone that's elite from mid-range, but below average from behind the arc?

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I just explained why - if there's a marginal difference in two or more players' 3-pt shooting abilities and a more considerable reverse difference between those same players on jumpshots overall, than the best 3-pt shooter wouldn't [automatically] be the best shooter. They're not two different things in that they oppose each other or are completely separate - they are a part of one another.

Yeah that makes sense, didn't read your last post all the way through.

In today's game as players become more speciliazed (ex. more corner shooters), more focus on getting 3pt shots etc., I think the lines are going to blur more though.

 

[Reggie]

Thats why im like when they are saying Curry is the "best shooter".

Jordan had 7 consecutive years averaging 30 pts. Hell his career average is 30 ppg.

Klay Thompson has the 3rd most 3 pointers in a season behind Currys 2 best season...Is Thompson the 2nd best shooter of all time? Stop this dumb azz logic.

Klay's on pace to be the 2nd best 3 point shooter ever.
