I've watched alot of basketball. I've never seen a person so accurate it doesn't seem real. He'll be better than Jordan at the end of his career if not injured. I'd be cool with that. Jordan is a piece of shit. I'm still a Spur fan but Curry is the best player in the league. Only the Spurs stand in his way. If he can overcome them, the sky's the limit. I keep thinking "naw, he's just on a streak". But no, this is how he plays. He's just that good. Unguardable, unstoppable. Even Lebron couldn't stop him last year. 6'3 190ish. Who would have thought.

Lakers
-
He is and will be remembered as an al time great player, but hes got a ways to go before he is better than those guys. He is having an all time dominate year though.
-
Not even close.
Jordan would outright school Curry.
And obviously the hemphead nurse has forgotten how good Magic Johnson was in his prime.
A very weak troll thread.
-
Best pure shooter I've seen in my life.
To be a better basketball player than Michael Jordan will take a lot more than a couple of seasons.
He has also not always been healthy.
Time will tell of course, but given his age and past, I doubt you could label him as better than Jordan ever. Lebron? Possibly. Remember... Lebron is 2-4 in the finals.
Where will Curry end up?
*Side note. My autocorrect wants to change Lebron to Hebron. Perhaps a contraction of Hebrew-Lebron?*
-
For pure basketball skill, I think Lebron James is the best ever.
-
nope. too light to fight, to thin to win.
he's having a good few years... BUT...
some team will rough him up, he'll lose 2% with a slower leg or rough shoulder. And voila, he'll never be the same. Look at derrick rose, the dude used to play out of his head. Then he started getting hurt, and injuries caused other injuries due to imbalance.
Big guys? They can get beat to hamburger and still be good after many injuries... they can walk down court, post up and do their moves. Once small guards get hurt, even a little, it becomes SO much harder to play D, and they wear themselves out. AND they have to adjust the moves they've been doing since they were 5 years old... never ends well.

Steph is phenomenal and fun to watch and on an amazing streak but in the end he won't top Jordan or Lebron. Stephe's style in my opinion has a lot to do with being young and quick. When he hits 30 and loses half a step he will still be good but things will calm down. The Spurs being in their way ::)
I will make this prediction about Curry: All the young middle school aged kids watching him will be mimicking him, so in the next 6-10 years you will see some very similar style players that take the pg position to the next level. So I thingk Steph will be huge in revolutionizing the next generation of basketball and how it's played.

kids will TRY to be like him, but I dont think anyone will be able too shoot like him. He is great thanks to his shooting.
kids can relate to curry cause they have a better chance being 6'3 and not 6'8 full of muscle like lebron.
-
I've never heard of tho Hebrew with a ladies name....
-

For physical ability applied to basketball he is one of the best no doubt. Not for pure basketball skill though.
People who say this kind of thing are usually too young to have seen the NBA in the mid to late 80s.

Ah, not even close to Jordan...Jordan could play some serious D.

Agree. Curry will go down as the best shooter of all time probably. Lebron can play every position on the court and dominate still when he wants to. Curry shouldn't even be in the conversation till he does it for a sustained period of time.
-

he has to play at this level for 5-8 years to do that. at least.
he's shiny, but he's only been at this level for 2 years. He's not "unstoppable" - nobody is knocking him on his ass yet. I remember him getting torn up against CLE last year, I think was the team. He's not fragile, but he's not a tank either. Some team WILL get tired of his antics - cause he's starting to get cocky with follow thrus and hopping around after a shot like he did the other day with the air kicks, etc.
Some grown ass man is going to plan him, and it'll be a hip or neck, some weird issue that takes 3 months from him instantly.
-
Since the time of that idiot Jordan, the NBA has been naught but a circus of travelling baggy pants clowns.
-
Lebron can play every position on the court
Nope. Can in no way play center or power forward unless you want the opposing teams player to score in the post or get every rebound. This has been shown over and over again throughout his career (Garnett, David West, etc.). I also don't think he can guard very many point guards unless they are average players. Very, very overrated defender.
Not that anyone should expect him too just not a fan of that phrase with him as it is overused

Spot on. The player with whom I'd compare him is Kevin Johnson, except Steph is a better shooter.
Johnson was amazing in his 20s because he was lightening quick, but once he hit 30, he went downhill fast.

Throughout Lebron's career he has done it. Maybe not through a whole game, but was able to play every position on the court if needed.
-
Jordan averaged Curry's current 20 game stretch stats for his entire 14yr bulls career, some food for thought.While we have never seen a 3 point shooter like Curry, the stats also so show Jordan was the better shooter from 20 feet and in.When the playoffs come round and the D tightens up we'll see if Curry's shooting holds up.
-
The Curry hype has gotten so ridiculous it's not even funny anymore.
He's a great shooter in an era when maybe 3 guys in the entire league even try to play defense.
He wouldn't have even lasted a series against a team like the Bad Boys.

Didn't it hold up last year?

Magic > Lebron
-
I don't think he'll end up better than those guys. Those guys have some serious resumes. He's a special talent though. I want to see how his game ages. What can he do when he hits age 30 and loses a step or two?
I'm not really loving this NBA where guys have a green light to shoot 15 three pointers per game. It's weird.
-
Throughout Lebron's career he has done it. Maybe not through a whole game, but was able to play every position on the court if needed.
Throughout his career he's been dominated in both the power forward and center positions whenever he's been put in that position.
All players can play every position. Doesn't mean they are good at it (just like Lebron isn't), lol. Just a bad/overused phrase that's not true. A point guard could play center but be terrible at it.

Only guard I remember playing center and doing well at it was Magic Johnson.
Hard to believe that guy was a homo

Stephen Curry is scoring better than Michael Jordan ever did
I've acknowledged that Stephen Curry is probably the best shooter of all-time. We've acknowledged that Stephen Curry is probably the best basketball player in the world at the moment. It's not enough. Stephen Curry might be having the best individual scoring season of the modern era.
Comparing current players with the heydays of Wilt and Oscar is notoriously difficult. Clearly the fabric of the game is different. But looking at the best scoring seasons since the advent of the three-point line and the ABA merger is a bit cleaner in terms of comparison, and it puts Steph's 2015-16 in a class of its own.
Steph's True Shooting Percentage is 70. Seventy. SEVENTY.
True Shooting Percentage measures efficiency while giving players credit for threes and free throws. The calculation is pretty simple: points per shooting possession divided by two. Shooting possessions are either field goal attempts or trips to the foul line. As such, the estimate for shooting possessions is 0.44 times free throw attempts plus FGAs. The average NBA player scores about 1.1 points per shooting possession for a True Shooting of 55 percent. This bounces around a bit season to season, but the average is generally in that zone.
Stephen Curry's True Shooting Percentage is 70. He's scoring 1.4 points per shooting possession. Is that crazy? That is crazy. How crazy? Only three players in the history of the NBA who played at least 500 minutes finished a season with a True Shooting Percentage at 70 or higher. Curry is shooting twice as many shots per game as any other member of that list.
Curry is doing it on more than 20 FGAs per game. The next-highest recorded True Shooting Percentage for a player attempting 20 FGAs or more per game is Kevin Durant's 63.5 in 2014. The gap between Curry and No. 2 Durant on this list is the same as the gap between No. 2 Durant and No. 44 on the list. Check out the top 10 True Shooting Percentages for a player who averaged at least 20 FGAs per game.
Steph is destroying the 50-40-90 club's scoring record
This exclusive club represents players who shoot 50 percent from the field, 40 percent on threes and 90 percent from the line. It's only been done for a full season four times by 20-ppg scorers: Larry Bird twice, and Durant and Dirk Nowitzki once each. The highest scoring average for a 50-40-90 member was Bird's 29.9 points per game in 1988. Curry's at 32 points per game while playing five fewer minutes per game. If Curry played 39 minutes per game as Bird did, his scoring average would be a shade under 37 points per game at his current rate.
What's more, Curry isn't just shooting 50-40-90. He's shooting 52-46-94. It is conceivable that he could someday invent the 60-50-95 club.
Best modern scoring season?
In the three-point era, 33 players have averaged at least 30 points per game in a season. Curry is currently at 32 points per game, which would be good for No. 12 in the modern era. Among all those 30 ppg scorers, Curry uses the fewest shooting possessions per game and plays the fewest minutes. And his team is 20-0.
Jordan's the only player in the modern era who won the title the same season he averaged 30 per game ... and Jordan did it four times. Allen Iverson is the only other player to do it in a season in which his team made the finals. But Iverson's efficiency was always below league-average and Curry's per-minute scoring is higher than that of The Answer. A.I. is not in this conversation.
The options when you ignore team record and postseason success are Jordan's 1987-90 seasons, Kobe's 2006 and Durant's 2014. Here's how those shape up.

You're kidding right? Curry can dribble like no other, maybe Iverson was faster but not nearly as accurate a shooter.

I think both of you are right.
I think what's important with Lebron is not that he can guard every position well man to man, but rather he his size and athleticism allows his team to switch on a lot of plays. High pick and roll especially which is big in the league right now. His teams aren't forced to have guys trying to fight through screens. Lebron can hang for a few seconds of the shot clock with most guys without getting blown by or physically bullied so they just switch. I don't think Lebron can guard all 5 positions in the tradition sense but what he can do allows his team greater defensive flexibility. Magic Johnson was like this also and I think it's a pretty big deal. You are starting to see teams like Golden State value that kind of defensive versatility and they really don't play in a traditional way.
I'm no fan of Lebron but I do respect him for what he can do on the floor. He's not better than Kareem, MJ, Magic, Bird, Kobe or Tim Duncan though. He needs to accomplish more in the post season before he can take those guys down. The comparison I make with Lebron is Peyton Manning, he takes on probably the most responsibility for his teams so in that way he's the most valuable. However, taking on the most responsibility doesn't make you greater or better than Tom Brady, or Michael Jordan or whoever. Those guys consistently got it done in the post season. Year after year after year. They came up big for their teams when everything was on the line. Concrete legacies based on actual results, not almosts.
-

You think Stephanie Curry is ready to take on Michael Jordan or Magic Johnson in their primes?
Oh lord, I guess a weak between the legs dribble means superstar status with today's generation.

Dog, you don't think the rule changes and the other changes to the game(aka small ball and analytics) isn't a big part of that.
Michael Jordan could dominate in any era, Steph is a player who just happens to perfectly fits the style of the current NBA. Put him in the 80's and things change, I feel strongly about that.
That doesn't mean that Steph won't go down as one of the greats but his statistics are gonna be skewed. Just like how pace and FG% skew the rebounding stats in the 1960s. Wilt and Russell aren't getting 25 rebounds a game in todays NBA. 6'5" Elgin Baylor isn't gonna average 19 or 20 rebounds and be a better rebounder than Dennis Rodman. Numbers sometimes lie.
-
What a joke of a thread. My half-negro side shudders when you post, Wiggs. Steph isn't fit to even dine in the same restaurant as Jordan. Now excuse while I go vomit.
-
Such a different game now. No way does Curry shoot this good in the late 80's. The first time Curry watches his shot go in like a hot head he'd receive the Piston beat down. Guys not only got roughed up physically, they were beat down mentally. They actually were scared to go against teams or certain players. The NBA (and most sports) no longer allows bullies. Would Curry shoot so good if he knew he was going to get elbowed in the ribs by Isiah Thomas when he boxed out? I don't think so.

Hebrew, were going to have to get used to the idea that Curry is the best. As I stated in my original post, at the end of his career assuming he doesn't get injured, he'll end up being the best all time. Jordan can't touch his numbers. I guess we'll see. As i stated, only the Spurs stand in his way. Jordan is Jordan but people have made an idol of him and believe he can do no wrong and can't be surpassed. Curry is the best shooter all time and hopefully in the end barring injury ends up being the best all time. I'm still a Spur fan. But Curry is the truth. It's known that I'm not a fan of Jordan as a person. He's a grade A piece of shit BUT, he's the greatest ball player all time...for now.

Come on Devil Dog. None of that is Curry's concern or problem. While there may be some truth to your statement, his shooting percentage is his shooting percentage. Let's not forget that Jordan had the refs hanging on his nuts alot and got a lot of calls. That's not talked about.

Also, before Curry, the previous single season 3-point record holder was not Bird, it was Ray Allen.
Curry is on another level when he is healthy.
-
Regarding Curry's defense, he has a 95 defensive rating...that's one of the best in the league...Every year, after his second year, his defensive rating has gone down. Last year he finished with a 101 defensive rating, which is better than Jordan's career average. Furthermore Michael Jordan never had a defensive rating below 100 for a season, so if Steph maintains this level (which he may not) he would actually be a better defender statistically than Jordan ever was.
I love Jordan, he is the reason I love basketball (grew up watching him win championships), but Steph is certainly in the discussion if he maintains his current trajectory.
Like I said for those that really know basketball...Like me. Curry is on pace to be better than Jordan. I'm down with that. Great family man and even better ball player.
-

Yes he can, he drives in the lane all the time.
And he is a 6'3 guard, why would he be so stupid to play in the paint anyway.
He is so clutch from 3 why even risk being thrown down or bumped hard in the key.
Look at Kobe, He will not drive in the lane anymore, he knows one bump and his season ends on the spot. Morons like Derrick Rose drive in and tear ligaments.
Bird was clutch as fuck, but Curry is clearly superior from mid range and 3 pt range.

NBA is full of 1 yr fundamentally fucked college players now vs 3-4 yr fully developed players in the jordan's era. Chicago would piece that GS squad.

Let's move on to Curry's ability to play in the paint. Curry’s ability to get in the lane is why he’s got 8.7 points in the paint per game and is drawing 5.1 personal fouls per game. Most amazing about his early-season run is Curry hasn’t sacrificed efficiency in service of getting his points. Curry has a mind-blowing 64.1 percent effective field goal percentage. That number is higher than any other starting point guard in the NBA and eighth among players who play at least 20 minutes per game. He’s also shooting over five-percent better than last season on floaters, driving shots, runners and lay ups.
-
The only team and person that can potentially stop Curry and the Warriors is the Kawaii Leonard and the Spurs. Kawaii Leanard will eventually be an NBA elite or elite player. Also if you look at the history of Spurs vs. Golden State, the Spurs have an absurd record of beating them down regularly. It's going to be a great match up and I see no reason why these two wont be in the Western Conference Finals. New and improved Spurs with Aldridge and new and improved Warriors.

he had solid mechanics, he's been shooting well for 10-15 years longer than any other player in the league.
There's video clips of him on an NBA court shooting jumpers when he's 5 years old. His dad was a solid 3 point shooter. IIRC, Del Curry didn't leave the floor when he shot?
Steph Curry has been shooting correctly, with an NBA stroke, since 1st grade. It would me odd if he DIDNT have a perfect stroke by now.
Now, let's see him do this for a decade before blowing him. He won 1 title and 1 MVP? Do that for 3 more years before we talk greatest ever. Idiot stephen A Smith is paid to overreact to everything. grownups don't say he's better than jordan. Curry was not amazing in 2012. Think about that.

Nope, dude is really good but never will be one of the greats. I hear he gets mad pussy tho. And I guess racking up the most groupies is winning. ;D

curry couldn't stop jordan. period. MJ was bigger and stronger and would have just taken him to the hole every time.
Jordan is a freak athlete. Hard to imagine how great he was or could have been despite all of the off court shit in his life. Fact is he could have been even better but lived an unhealthy lifestyle physically and mentally but yet was still a beast on the court.

Also a horrible gambler. Apparently his 2 year baseball stint was due to gambling and his dad's death was also related.
-
he had solid mechanics, he's been shooting well for 10-15 years longer than any other player in the league.
There's video clips of him on an NBA court shooting jumpers when he's 5 years old. His dad was a solid 3 point shooter. IIRC, Del Curry didn't leave the floor when he shot?
Steph Curry has been shooting correctly, with an NBA stroke, since 1st grade. It would me odd if he DIDNT have a perfect stroke by now.
Yeah, he should be shooting like this easy. Everyone else could be shooting the exact same off the dribble/off balance threes if they only had practiced more.......

Spurs are no threat to the Warriors.
Leonard: overrated
Aldridge: history of losing and choking (former Blazer)
Rest of the team: Old. Father Time catches up eventually.
Sorry wiggs :'(

If Jordan was t suspended for 2 years the Bulls would have easily won 8 straight championships.

You know I have a great track record with the Spurs. You're wrong about them. The are the biggest threat to the Warriors. I believe we will beat them in a series. Coach Pop will out coach them.

No one said he could. No one can stop Jordan (although I think a prime Lebron would have gave him problems). My point is Jordan is not stopping Curry. Curry would break Jordan's ankles. Jordan's been crossed up by Iverson, Kevin Johnson and one or two others and it was while he was in his prime. Curry would break Jordan's ankles regulary and shoot whatever shot he wanted at will. Jordan could do nothing, just like Lebron couldn't do anything.

You really are that far gone.
Lebron took on GS last year in the finals practically by himself. With Love and Irving in the lineup instead of Smith and Shumpert, the Cavs would have beat the Warriors soundly.
And Curry beating Jordan off the dribble.....you're smoking yourself stupid.

Golden State was going to win that series no matter what.

Curry is the best offensive player in the game today.

It's not even close. He's the best player period. The point is to win games by scoring points. He wins the most games, he scores the most points. He's the best. Lebron is a better all around athlete. Steph Curry is the best basketball player on this planet right now.

Live by the 3. One injury and the Warriors lose the two shooter threat which makes them so successful. Lebronze lost half his team and still made the finals good.

no way are you guys nuts
if curry played in the era, of joran, bird, wilkins, the bad boy pistons,
he would not be able to handle that kind of play, they played tougher back then , and the teams where more stacked.
ask jordan how tough the bad boy pistons were in there prime.

...but he doesn't. NBA is a much faster game now.

Great players have never been "shut down". They have been contained, corralled and slowed down but they eventually figured it out that's why they are great.
Jordan didn't always guard the other teams pg/primary ball handler (Pippens role) he was on the primary scorer, so in the case of Curry they could match up.
Jordan would have loved the challenge, he definitely would have made things uncomfortable for Curry while forcing himself offensively on who ever was defending him, taking that man out of his game.
As 240 said Curry needs multiple dominate seasons before he can ever be the GOAT.
That said we need to enjoy this performance because it's definitely dominating.

But he does'nt, those hypotheticals are terrible.
If Curry played the 90's bulls team blah blah, only a numbnut says shit like that. It is 2015, not 1994.

Curry will be at an even higher level in 2 years. Only injurie will mess it up.

Lebron got "Lebron is tired" chants last night. ;D

I've watched alot of basketball. I've never seen a person so accurate it doesn't seem real. He'll be better than Jordan at the end of his career if not injured. I'd be cool with that. Jordan is a piece of shit. I'm still a Spur fan but Curry is the best player in the league. Only the Spurs stand in his way. If he can overcome them, the sky's the limit. I keep thinking "naw, he's just on a streak". But no, this is how he plays. He's just that good. Unguardable, unstoppable. Even Lebron couldn't stop him last year. 6'3 190ish. Who would have thought.

Rep, this is Michael Jordan...Chamillionaire is a famous rapper in case you didn't know. Michael Jordan we all know and love is not the real Michael Jordan. The real Michael Jordan is notorious for being a piece of shit. Being here in Vegas and having my ears to ground, I've heard plenty of Michael Jordan piece of shit stories over the years. We've been duped. Still the best player in the world...for now.

Awaiting your response from the video I posted.

Curry is beasting right now. No denying that.
-
If any of us was drafting a team, it'd be Lebron 1000% of the time over Curry.
the team has 2 all star guards. So one of them is always open. 1 man cannot stop an all-star in this league.
All injuries equal, CLE probably takes it to 7 games last year. And in game 7, my $ is on LBJ to win it. Lebron lost BOTH of his team's all stars. And many of the scrubs were dinged up too. They should have been swept, given those lineups on paper.
Lebron is learning to pace himself. He'll get small and weak and "tired" again. He will take off 2 weeks in January to "rest"... visit Miami for HGH lol.... and by valentines day, he'll ba attacking people, not the basket haha. Remember last year? By early Feb, Lebron would leave the empty basket until a defender showed up, just to physically facefvck the defender. He was insane. He's on low doses now, but he'll amp it up for the spring run, and it'll be great again.
(my bet is lebron blaming back flareups in early Jan, and again, coming back in beastmode)
I called that shit last year. Early jan, I said he's getting back on the sauce. visited miami, turned back into superman! Lebron doesn't care what heckling fans say in December.
-
Awaiting your response from the video I posted.
I heard what that young man said, but I guess it's hard for me to accept it as true, since I've never heard of this guy before and there isn't anyone else corroborating his story.
It could certainly be true, but I can't change my overall view of Michael Jordan, because of one man's personal experience with the guy. I don't know Jordan personally, as I'm pretty sure no one else here does. What I gathered appreciation and tons of respect for was his talent. He did things I've never seen before and carried an era with tons of class. It was his overall class on the court that made me a fan.
On a social level, he could very well be an asshole, but he was a basketball player, not necessarily a role model for anyone else.
I guess it would just seem weird if I were to go solely on hearsay in developing an opinion towards someone that I've never met. I usually like to arrive at a conclusion regarding others either based off of my personal experience with them or by way of what I might have witnessed.

Google it if you're interested. There were articles written about it on some hip hop blogs. Before I saw that video, I'd already heard about the real MJ. Here is a reddit list of Michael Jordan stories. The Chamillionaire story is in there. He's done a good job in keeping his image clean but with the internet things are bound to get out and spread. You'll never catch me wearing Jordans. Face it brotha, Michael Jeffery Jordan is a fucking piece of shit as a man. He hides it to not lose money. He gives zero fucks about the average Black Man. It's a bold but true statement. He's a sociopath. As he says, "He don't give a fuck".
A compilation such as the following doesn't come from nice guys.

Wishful thinking. Kobe's the 2nd best shooting guard in NBA History. NBA auctions is auctioning his game worn jersey from opening night and it over 20 Grand and there's still like a month left to bid on it.
Kobe Bean Bryant's legacy ain't going nowhere. He's playing like shit now but that's only because he's coming off three major injuries. A completely torn Achilles is no joke. Plus, nikka is 37 and trying to play on the perimeter in the NBA. That ain't like slow ass Tim Duncan standing under the hoop and waiting for the ball to fall in his lap.

Yep, he has a great career, 5 championships is simply amazing. but nobody cares to be the next Kobe, and they don't compare anyone to kobe. He rubs people the wrong way, like he rubbed that girl in colorado the wrong way.
He is playing so bad now, swaggy p is a better choice. He just sits on the perimeter launching bricks.
I will take Tim duncan over Kobe any day. Kobe is a slow ass too now. Struggles to do a layup.
Funny how kobe brags about winning 5 rings at every turn, Duncan never mentions it. Kobe is very LA.
Thanks for memories kobe, I will never forget that lob to shaq to beat portland in the WCF.
I was super fan back in the day.

I watched Curry play tonight. He's cooling off. Too much dancing, too much cortisol. Face getting very lean. Stimulant usage up. They're 22-0 but they're playing at playoff intensity to do it.
Im' predicting it on Dec 7th. Curry is getting tired. Production reduction coming.
-
fuck kobe bryant i never could stand that piece of shit .
fuck the la lakers to , i wipe my ass with there jersey
-
Iverson was able to cross jordan and get his shot off, curry is infinitely better than inverson, in every way, (except maybe playmaking). His handles are even better, he dribbles in and out of defenders and has made entire team defenses look silly.
It doesn't really look like he is trying all that much either. No one has ever had his range, he practices shots 5 feet behind the 3 point, that's his green light according to the coaches (walton now). How can you guard someone who is so accurate from such a distance contested or not, his shot is like a little kids, it's one motion of the body, pure shooter.
-
good call necrois
curry is way more accurate. iverson is a crack head to,
-
I watched the highlight clip of Curry that Wiggs posted. Never seen anyone dribble, move and shoot with such speed and accuracy. Admittedly, i'm not a big follower of the NBA but it's pretty damn impressive. Can his style compare to any current or past players?

I guess you didn't see him own the 3rd last night. It's a 7 game road trip and they're getting tired of sleeping in hotels.two nights ago Toronto tried the hack a shack with Curry and he ended up ripping 6 straight points to seal the win. The guy is un believable.
Crazy thing is that he is the teams 3rd highest paid player, was the 4th before they let Lee go. Green and Thompson are making more. I think GS though is going to lose Thompson. Not sure how long he wants to be second fiddle. Guy scores 30 and is still the teams second scorer on any given night. he might bolt to be the star like Harden did.
-
and play of the night. Curry coming down court, 4 Nets on him. yes, Quadruple teamed by 4 black guys or a regular Saturday night for Goodrum, and he just tosses the ball up for a sick alley oop to Ezelli.

LOL very lebron like. Curry is like Odell beckham and Cam newton... starting to believe the hype. Dancing on 1st quarter threes. THe emotion that puts them at that level works in the other direction when things don't go their way. Seeing Cam newton slow down to strut and not see the linebacker and get smashed on the 1 yard line... seeing beckham kick the ball to make a highlight and get his team penalized on 4th-and-2 on the last play of the game...
you know when a player is dignified, like a barry sanders or a Kevin durant. And you know when they're going hollywood at the expense of their competitors. Never ends well.

Curry doing leg kick dances about 3 pointers early in the game... dancing nonstop... brining cam newton along for press conferences... curry is starting to live in a bubble, enjoying the hype, doing the hollywood thing. That emotion has his game off the charts, with all going well.

are you on acid? This kids point per shot is so so at best....do you know nothing of basketball history? In todays lame ref controlled NBA with sad ass people liek le bron who woulda been crap if refs treated him liek mialman or barkly or hek doctor J, and deserves 0 titles, all stolen by refs, and jokers liek kobe who is just a lame shadow of jordan who at least had the athleticism
remember the suits are jsut giving you mindless hipster gen z wakjobs champoins because the talet is so low
le bron obvously ofuled ginolbi to lose gmae 6 in the last title he got and the one before was simply let le brons team foul repeatedly and get fast breaks from hacks, at least when they let jordan and pipen do tht in 90s they were athletic, just a joke
golen state are nothing, they are streaky and if they dont get bailout calls and get to foul anyone in low post nonstop without free throws to penalzie them then burp they get hammered by almsot anyone
NBA is such garbage these days an essentally died in 1989
since then bunch of jokers on roids being let carry foul and run amok by refs not calling fouls on them hammering people and reachin in on D and letting low post players never get to line
curry is not even at level of chris mullin

His has more substance than Tracey Mcgrady though. I like Steph, he is a family dude.
on the subject of tracey, I will never forget when he announced his retirement on first take. No one cared.
He never retired, no one wanted him. Steph will never become that.
-
240 blowing hard. Curry got manuandled in the playoffs. Ariana made him do a 6 foot drop on his head and curry still averaged 20+ a game. Curry is far from soft and plays with heart. His dancing is because he is a killer ball handler and makes grown men look like chumps.

NBA is completely DESPERATE for a star.
Kobe was a dick with rape charges, and such a dick that nobody would come to his city to play.
Lebron whines nonstop despite having so many gifts.
Westbrook dresses like a generation selfie idiot.
James harden is an obnoxious ass with crazy eyes and crazy beard.

They tried durant as the star but he was plain vanilla. Just boring and stiff. Curry appeals to the average looking everyday man. Strange thing is Asians fucking love him. I see so many Chinese people young and old with golden state hear all of a sudden. Seems all of the Seahawks band wagoners jumped on the gs curry train as well.
I'm not a bandwagonner. I was singing currys praises since he was in college.

not to mention they have to show the family every time he plays, the wife and baby daughter, curry the family man of the NBA

yep. it's half marketing. WOuldn't surprise me a bit if there's incentive to let curry get that extra step (for defenders to back off a bit) because his team going 22-0 means big TV money, and ALL NBA players win next offseason.
Warriors go 75-7, win the championship, and there's a new jordan for kids to worship. Family man, big smile, fun and positive, not covered with scary tats or silly pants suits, or fake trendy glasses. He can hold a mic without embarrassing the NBA. he's perfect. Every player in the NBA has motivation to make sure Curry is a success.
I bet the warriors get every call when it's close. The league is so boring, it needs a star.

240 do you think that big cry baby lebron has realized his time is done now.
and now he is stuck on his shitty team he helped put together. the guy is an egomaniac like no other

They haven't been super-impressive this year but I think they're still at the top of the East and they haven't had their second-best player all year. They'll be alright.

I trust lebron will take the cavs with or without Love or Kyrie to the finals again.
I also believe they will play the warriors and the cavs will lose again. Lebron will not recover mentally.
As for Kevin Durant, they did push him to be a superstar, he is just dumb, not bright at all, he does not get it.
complains about the media, acts hard but is soft.

;D
One of the most traumatic games, quarters, and plays of my career as an Blazer fan.
That play was insane. Kobe shook Scottie Pippen so bad I thought Pip ended up in the locker room.

these are both probably accurate. It'll all come down to injuries. If Warriors lose 2 starters and CLE is healthy (reverse of last year), then Curry gets double teamed the whole game and cavs win it in 5 or 6 games.
Lebron gets more ice in his veins each year. Losing doesn't have that fear of what people think anymore. I think that pressure goes away as he is now 31... set in family, letting the baldness show... he's embracing what he is, an aging star who can dominate like fck on any given night, and can willpower to the Eastern Finals each year.
the cavs only have to be perfect FOUR times a year - in the NBA finals. They can fck around and show up at 90% every night and make it to the finals.

Reports are lebron might be getting 60 million a year from nike until he dies
Does LeBron buy the cavs this year? The lakers? Or his beloved Yankees?

Milwaukee Bucks just beat Golden State. The streak ends.

They're on an epic 0-1 run.
They'll still win close to 70

They won 67 last year. 70 won't be hard for them. This was a brutal road swing and double OT the night before. They got tired in the 4th letting the Bucks take a run.

He's getting owned by Westbrook lol .....save the talk lol
-
He is also dealing with an ankle and knee injury. You can see he's moving a lot slower.
-
I watched Curry play tonight. He's cooling off. Too much dancing, too much cortisol. Face getting very lean. Stimulant usage up. They're 22-0 but they're playing at playoff intensity to do it.
Im' predicting it on Dec 7th. Curry is getting tired. Production reduction coming.

Yep because playing 34 mpg and sitting out the fourth quarter something like 18 times really drained him. Clearly, if he wasn't tired he wouldn't have slipped on that wet spot...

at the end of the seasons, teams rested their guys, they played less. Warriors were playing with crazy intensity as if they were fighting for the 8th playoff slot. They gave it 100% in a meaningless game against the Spurs at the end of the season. They looked pretty tired in the first round and have been making bonehead plays ever since. 73 killed them.
-
Curry failed horribly in the playoff so far
-
He is also dealing with an ankle and knee injury. You can see he's moving a lot slower.
When you get this far into the season, no one is 100 percent and Curry said he's physically fine.
He's forced to guard Westbrook and he's getting destroyed....it also makes him tired, so that's why he's shooting like shit...he's missing wide up shots too, so no excuses.

If coach Kerr was smart which he is, he should switch and have someone else guard Westrbrook, like Thompson.

Jordan would have never let his team trail by 39 points in a playoffs game.
Would have killed a man.

Thompsons been guarding Westbrook most of the time. Curry just seems slow and tired.

he's too light to fight, too thin to win.
last year, they lost 2 games in Finals to LeBron + 4 bench players.
Overrated is what they are. Everyone is tired of that obnoxious attitude they've been showing. Staring down players before the ball goes in? Even the refs seem to be screwing GS.

Refs are allowing a more aggressive game in the playoffs and it's messing with their game for sure. They also seem to have stopped having fun. GS played its best when Walton was coaching and they just ran the floor. Kerr changed the pace and since then they've seemed out of synch.

Lets not forget that adams is altering and causing a lot of rushed shots in the post with his presence.....really great draft...going to be a premier big guy in the league for years to come barring a terrible injury....looks weird though like a mongoloid headed samurai

Toranto only down by
30 36 points in the 3rd qrt
thrilling playoffs ::)

All the talk about the big man being obsolete in the nba but OKC and Toronto have benefitted huge from their big men. Watching golden state play is fun for a bit watching them hit threes but you rarely ever see them dunk. Almost always on an open path they'll do those tear drop lay ups. Even Bogut can't dunk and he's 2 inches from touching the rim flat footed.
-
Will Curry step up tonight? Will the Refs keep the game close to keep the series going? or will Gayass westbrook close it out tonight ???
-

Think curry is gassed and worn out. He needs 6-8 weeks to heal up. Those two injuries this post season fucked him up. He was on fire early in the Houston series until that ankle injury then the knee slip. They'll come out hot then squander the lead to OKC and lose.
-
The camera panned over to a warriors fan and barkley went soul crusher on him, said i hope he never has kinds, please please never have kids lmfao ,
i can never tell if i fucking oracle arena or chinatown
-
Steph has Godlike skill on offense but he's smallish and a little frail. He can't defend well enough to be up there with MJ, Kobe, or Lebron.
Magic was primarily a facilitator so I don't like comparing him to any of these guys. His role was very different.
-
OKC shooting 30%. GSW shooting 50%. And GSW have a 1 point lead.
Once OKC shakes the poor shooting, it could turn fast in their favor. Fingers crossed!

i watched that last game when they hit 73 wins. their starters were missing dunks in the 3rd Q because their legs were tired.
Any other year, they coast those last 2 weeks and rest. Even mentally, they got zero rest before the playoffs. They prepared for that Spurs game for win #71 or whatever, like it was a Finals game. Takes its toll.
Scrub ass Rockets should have been a cakewalk, and they really had to work to beat them. IF they lose tonight and it's over, we will see their players in the off-season on social media complaining that the push for 73 meant they were too tired for the playoffs.
-
GSW up by 1. Draymond green gets a tech foul for screaming at ref, swinging fists around.
OKC playing like crap and still keeping it very close.
-
Notice how marv albert doesnt get excited when okc makes the comeback run
Fucking cocksuckerr
-
OKC plays like complete ass. Just took the 1 point lead. They should be losing by 15, the way they're playing.

He just shot his load when green shot a 3 pointer , 3 seconds after the whistle blew, what a fucking homo

The riggedBA, no way OKC is this off, the higher ups had to make the call to the ower to let the league have a freebee for the networks and tv ads

NBA is very susceptible game fixing via the refs.

I've watched alot of basketball. I've never seen a person so accurate it doesn't seem real. He'll be better than Jordan at the end of his career if not injured. I'd be cool with that. Jordan is a piece of shit. I'm still a Spur fan but Curry is the best player in the league. Only the Spurs stand in his way. If he can overcome them, the sky's the limit. I keep thinking "naw, he's just on a streak". But no, this is how he plays. He's just that good. Unguardable, unstoppable. Even Lebron couldn't stop him last year. 6'3 190ish. Who would have thought.
Let me see. No.
Lebron is much better on defense and is better in passing and running the offense. Yes Curry last year as a beast in the threes but Lebron can score as much as Curry just from inside the paint. Curry has limitations physically due to his size. Lebron this year is shooting the 3 very well, when his jumper is on he is operating on all levels.
