I think the reason why Steph is the GOAT ainec is that he can play both on and off-ball--he can he the 1on1 stud you need if you need a basket or the guy that you have to chase around screens all day and **** your pants when he has the ball, even 30 feet out.

There is something to be said for that type of versatility. I think the reason we don't see the other PGs have a ton of success in the playoffs is because they can't be part of "the dance" as Coach Nick would say, they have to be to focal point, and that can be mitigated somewhat.

I mean, how sick is it for someone who can run the offense to be able to sit back and stroke 45% of catch & shoot 3's when needed? I don't see any other PGs on this list.

Also heels seems to be right about Melo.

The fact that this is some debate is infuriating and always makes me root against curry

lol Cubes being a gigantic baby over a really lame "joke"

imagine if JaVale McGee played for him...

that said, fat Shaq should definitely back off and be less of a dick
would guess that Turner is telling him the same thing, but who knows
(actually, it wouldn't be so bad if it kept escalating and he got fired lol)

Speaking of CP3....His biggest rival, Deron Williams, just signed with the Cavs.

To be clear I think CP3 is better than Stockton Kidd etc but if you guys want to be ******s and sort by CAREER ACHIEVEMENT to say CP3 is better than Steph you can't have it both ways

On face, looks like he values peak>career.

There is clearly some undefined factor he values that corresponds to neither peak nor career value.

edit: that you would claim it's not close makes it easy not to take your opinion on the matter seriously. you lose some $ on the dubs or something in the past?

that he defends his position with a Curry playoff loss is very funny though

I'm. Not sorting by career achievement. I'm saying who is clearly a better overall player. CP3 D is FAR superior to steph and steph gets shook when people get in his face in the playoffs and becomes mortal
