Who has a better jumper? O.J. Mayo or Stephen Curry [Archive] - Message Board Basketball Forum

Human Error

2 young players who can shoot the lights out when shooting is a rare commodity.

I can easily see Mayo getting way more votes here as he's the newest golden boy of ISH, it just seems like not any poster here is ever critical of his game and majority of posters are still calling Pat Riley an idiot for passing up O.J. Mayo. And the fact that Curry didn't shoot the ball real well in his summerleague debut wouldn't help his case.

Who has a better jumper?

Curry

What kind of stupid question is this?

A player that has a wide array of skills that are effective other than his jumper as opposed to a player who without his jumper, would be an unathletic Smush Parker?
How is this a stupid question?

My question was who is a better shooter, not an overall better baller. If you think Mayo is a better shooter, then fine because opinions are like a$$holes because everyone has one and I don't blame you for that, but how a rational human being can call that question ever stupid is just way beyond me.

Stephen was double and triple teamed in college and his lack of great ballhandling/slashing skills was preyed on by good teams.

In the NBA he will be 1v1 and be running off screens. Just like his dad he will be renowned for his excellent jumper and little else (no one is saying he will be better than Mayo...he does have a better jumper though).

Yeah but thats his first taste of NBA.

If you want a list of people who looked like scrubs and turned out good in the NBA, that would take quite awhile to make.

And in no way shape or form is OJ deadlier in any way. Im a huge Mayo fan and he cannot be a better jumpshooter than Curry. But he does have a better overall game.

Game 5: Curry goes 3-15 from the field 0-4 3pt line in 5 games of summer leauge he is shooting the ball 29% FG 33% 3pt. This isn't college the 3pt linet this is the NBA further away, so he can't get away with his quick release like he could on a college 3. OJ sets himself up uses his legs, has an amazing arc on the ball and fires away, holds his follow thru all the way until it goes it. His form rivals that of Ray Allen it really does. thats why 4 out of the 6 months in the NBA Mayo shot between 39-42% from the 3pt line. Curry is just now chucking.

curry is very underrated as an all around player, very crafty player and is more athletic than people think

This is a nice bump. Mayo in the Showcase had 3 straight 3s that's back to back to back possession.

One of the journalist said he had a better 3 point shot than Kyle Korver and the best Jumper in Camp. Curry can't even shoot over scrubs in summer league.

The best part is Mayo isn't even in his shooting prime yet he could easily get into Ray Allen/Reggie Miller/Mark Price range when it comes to shooting of the basketball.

What's up with Brujesino?

Losing Ekpe is the part that really stings, solid big off the bench but i guess we may be able to get alot of those players.

Also i think we should have traded curry instead of ellis.Now we have two injury prone players at key positions.

People forget that Mayo actually had a really good rookie season. I'm not sure what happened after that. I think some guys just get rich and stop caring.

definately, happens to most guys tbh. Evrey great champion of recent times...Jordan, Kobe, Duncan and yes even Lebron had something in common. A huge will to succeed and win. Its irrational to think that just because you are hugely talented means you actually really care that much. As fans we can't help but look at the game through a constrained view. Its easy for us to assume that every player out there truly cares about being champions.

Thats why I will never be a Harden fan. Its why I always hated Dwight Howard, these are just guys with massive amounts of talent but lack the dedication. When you are at the upper echelon of talent and impact, the thing that puts you over and above others is shear will power. Paul Pierce is an example of a guy who was at the lower echelon of that pool, but his passion and drive to win allowed him to win a championship and FMVP and compete head on with one of the greatest players of all time in Lebron.

damn I was spot on in that thread. I'm right about 50% of the time. :cheers:

I was pissed when we took Udoh. Monroe (Georgetown) was the obvious choice, and we took this random fukc from Baylor.

Le bron was the jackpot. I wouldn't put him in the unknown category. There were no question marks about his game. Wade CP3 and Howard is interesting though.

I agree.

I booked marked this 2009 thread and saved it so that I could give it life after Curry won his first title. It was a long 6 years but the effort paid off!

I got another 1 for you,Travis Mays out of Texas he went top 10 and even though he didnt go high,Rodney Monroe a very similar game to Currys and a even better shooter,Tragdon Langdon is another,so is Jay Edwards and he was 6'5,Corey Alexander and last but not least Randolph Childress who I thought was gonna be a star in the league.

i dunno any of those names except curry.

Lol once upon a time in the mid 2000s, people thought OJ Mayo was the next NBA superstar.

Randolph Childress was much better than Jeff Mcginnis in college, but Mcginnis ended up having a better NBA career, so Jeff won in the end.

The OJ Mayo high school hype was REAL.

They were calling Mayo the next D Wade long before they were calling Waiters the next D Wade. Waiters not even good enough to be the next JR Rider let alone D Wade.
