It wasn't even a knock on curry but making up that he's 1st is some slurping I'm not even sure you could claim

I think you under rate how much I can slurp. I just finished this video in awe:

All of currys shots from 28-50 feet, in which he is 35-52. Tut was right when he said curry is significantly better than jordan ever was.

Grunching so maybe this has been covered. SI had an article on best team of all time. Interesting team construction thought exercise.

Jordan
Curry
Labron
Shack
Timmay
Bird

all seem like locks. The last four spots seem tougher.

Elite shooter. Good enough D. can play inside and outside. Bird is > Magic anyways but esp in today's game.

So much wanting. I just don't get it. 4 time mvp. 2 titles and finals MVPs. Sorry bruh, that's winning. Proly should learn to deal with it.

The Heat wouldn't even title this season if everyone on their roster played at their peak which was like 10 years ago

I sure wish they would let Isiah Thomas coach again so that he could expose the worst perimeter defense of all time. I bet that would be a real treat.

Kind of like how Kyrie is just a little better than Waiters?

He can dribble and score occasionally, he cannot be the 2nd best player on the championship team. He is a poor mans Dame Lillard.

kyrie is an elite shot creator, elite at the rim, and a great 3pt shooter. mebbe hes a little rusty now from the injury, but hes looked pretty good to me. and last year he was easily a top 10 nbaer. this hate seems strange. mebbe you just saw him on one of his bad nights.

ultimately, he has a ton of upside and you need guys like that to title. even if you think he is cancerous and hurts the team on the whole, he still has such high potential to completely take over and put up all time great performances, that you gotta prefer him to more consistent players.

hadn't realized kareem also threw his hat on the ring wrt curry. beyond the general overstating of past era defense, it's esp lol that these guys think the physicality of defense was the only thing preventing people from taking/making shots from that distance. rather than, you know-- no one being able to make those shots

i suppose it is a natural extension of the arguments people made against someone like lebron (as recently as 3-4 years ago). "wouldn't be able to get to the rim as easily." i guess the moral of the story here is that no perimeter player who came after kobe could have scored as efficiently back then

Why didn't CLE do something smart like trade Kyrie, Jefferson, Sasha Kaun, for Conley, Courtney Lee, Chalmers and Tony Allen?

also, i think irving was in the low to mid teens last year

For once I actually agree with Skip who's saying Curry is better now than anyone has ever been. It pains me to say it, but you can't run from the truth.
