How dafuq is Curry a Kobe clone when Bean was a mediocre 3 pt shooter at best and Curry is the greatest 3pt shooter ever.

Curry to me is Steve Nash/Mark Price on steroids and more athleticism

Because there won't be another LeBron, the biggest advantage Bron has is his size, he really isn't truly great at anything besides getting to the rim and that's because of his size. He has great court vision but after that what does he have? He isn't a great three point shooter, when it comes to his jumper he's a streaky shooter at best and what player you know is trying to mimic his handles...dude is a beast but it's more because of his size and athleticism. Stan's can get pissed but if you deny that he succeeded to this extent because of his size then you should just log off

Say Bron isn't great at anything and in the very next sentence state what he's great at. :mjlol:

You're just named a couple high-% three-point shooting point guards, but their style is all different.

Ain't no one player who ever played like Curry. He's like a 50-50 mix of the pop-out shoot-and-catch shooting guards like his father Dell and the sweet handles, probing point guards like Tim Hardaway. I don't think anyone had really put those two games together like he did, at least not with any degree of skill. Someone might be able to prove me wrong and name someone I'm not remembering though.

CAC shyt.

Lebron is the best passer of the basketball since Magic. You don't get that without supreme skill.

Lebron for his career is a better 3 point shooter than most.

He has the step back, behind the back dribble driver, and a decent turnaround jump shot I'm the post which I wish he used more because he absolutely destroys teams with it like Toronto last year.

He's gonna pass Kareem in scoring and top 5 and assists because he's a Big nikka. Is everyone in the NBA 5'8:mjlol:
Don't forget the spin move too. He's been pulling that one out a ton the last few years. And a Euro-step.



He's going to break the record but it's mostly because of his size and nobody being able to stop him.

Take 50-75 pounds off of him and what would you have?
You'd have Westbrook with a better jumper and far higher bball IQ. In other words, a perennial MVP candidate. :yeshrug:


Take away LeBron's size but not his athleticism and combine it with his bball IQ and the rest of his skills, and he's still a yearly all-star.

Take away LeBron's athleticism but not his size and combine it with his bball IQ and the rest of his skills, and he's still a yearly all-star.

Take away LeBron's athleticism AND his size, and he's still a starting PG in the league and borderline all-star somewhere between a Jeff Teague and an Andre Miller.


LeBron's size isn't the difference between him being GOAT and him being nobody. It's the difference between him being top-3 all-time and him still being top-50 all-time.

LOL at y'all nikkas associating all these combo guards with Kobe.

AI birthed the modern combo guard. None of those nikkas exist without AI.

Book and Tatum only guys who have Kobes DNA built into their game.
Idk. I actually think the closest one is Kawhi. Reminds me alot of Kobe

Miss the point because you're a dikkrider bruhs. Kobe modeled his game after Jordan so if nikkas love Kobe's game they really are just paying homage to a less polished version of Jordan's game.
You would have a point if jordan himself didnt pattern his game off dr. J and others. Plus Kobe pulled moves from other players too. There is no such thing as "stealing" a move. Most Kobe disciples were too young to even watch mJ play

It's a known fact that Kobe even tried to walk like MJ and have his demeanor. That's more than stealing moves bruh.
