Can he even create his own shot inside the 3 point line?

No 1 on 1 skills asside from cross overs while utilizing a screen

Not a dynamic player like the old school scoring guards

-no driving ability
-no back down ability
-no driving pull up ability
-no fading ability
No midrange ability
-no post ability



Dude is just a step back three point shooter that can hit an occasional fancy layup off a screen with nobody near him



He relies 95% of the time on a screen. Scores basically on streak shooting


Not a reliable go to option

Why is it whenever the warriors are stagnant they go to klay thompson to create a shot

Klay is their go to guy when a three isnt the first option


Even steve nash had more mid range ability and break down driving moves

Hes hard to watch.. his chuck fest has become boring

I used to like him but meh

Funny how Curry attempts 3 times the 3's as prime Kobe, is 3 inches shorter, smaller hands, less wingspan, much less athletic, but still more efficient :oldlol:








However I will be objective, even if Curry is the better player, I still have them tied all time. 1 MVP = 1 MVP. It makes them equal all time regardless of Kobe's deficiencies :cheers:

Steph might end his career with the most godly pointguard layup highlight reel ever put to film. Dude is making lefty runners almost without leaving his feet, scoops from 14 feet over centers, off glass floaters with the bump from an angle....

Steph, Kyrie, and Rose are three of the most likely players to make a "What the **** was that...." shot in the lane in NBA history. Hes not even that fast.

He has 3-4 layups just vs Nugget teams that would top some HOF guards career top 10 layup lists.

Faried must see him in his sleep.

Not once in this thread has Kenneth talked about Curry's off ball play.....again, elite.

If Kenneth wasn't so obviously Kobe-biased, I would say he's just discounting Curry for making the game look so easy. When an open 3 is automatic, guys have to defend you much differently. Why would he need off balance fadeaways and pull up 16 footers? Should he go out of his way to take shitty shots just to please Kobe fans?

**** Kenneth. You're a worse stan than 3ball and half as smart.

stephs better at threes than kobe because that and layups are the only offensive shots hes ever practiced


kobe took hours out of his day to get good at absolutely everything.

an hour on hooks
an hour on floaters
an hour on pull ups
an hour on fade aways
an hour on threes
an hour on post ups
an hour on layups
an hour on getting stronger/strengthening legs in order to dunk


if all kobe had to do was spend 8 hours a day on shooting threes. he'd also have historic three point shooting

but he went for the more all around game

My problem is him winning mvp with the most stacked team ever


Its like lebron winning mvp with the colluded heat 2 times.. makes no sense... give it to a guy on a great team without other allstars and the deapest bench



I have no problem with him winning the title without finals mvp either. Kobe did it 3 times... but the guy who won fmvp over kobe was shaq... the guy who won it over curry was a near 40 year old role player

Is anyone actually saying Klay was better than Pau though? I really don't think anyone actually believes that Klay was better in these playoffs than Pau was in 09.

As for Odom...he was really good, but Green was at least equal in my opinion...In fact, I'd probably give the edge to Green.

Removing Steph and Kobe...the Warriors are clearly the better team though. They are much deeper and have the advantage in most places. Yes, Pau would be the best player of the group, but that doesn't make up for that serious lack of depth. Those Lakers really only went 6 deep...and even that is misleading as Bynum wasn't right and only played 17 minutes a game.

Walton, Brown, Sasha, and Farmar are just nothing of note for a championship team.

I think it would be a great series if the two played each other...I'd probably go with Lakers because Kobe/Pau is a much better combo than Steph/Klay (mainly because Klay isn't close to as good as Pau)...but make no mistake...the Warriors were the more stacked team all things considered.

I feel like you are really under-rating the value of Iggy and Green. And not realizing what it means for a team to be able to bring Livingston off the bench.

why do you bring up 2011 and 2014? According to your train of thought LeBron is so flawed and overrated is the reason why he lost both of those years, not due to the opposing team's bench depth. And let's be serious, 2011 Mav's had a nice bench but that team was fueled on Star Power, Dirk went Nuclear meltdown hot the entire playoffs.

I'd take Klay, Green, Iggy, Bogut, and Barnes over Pau, Odom, Ariza, Bynum, and Fisher

Odom was also a stud defensively. Advanced plus/minus puts him in the Duncan/KG territory. http://stats-for-the-nba.appspot.com/ratings/2009.html . Makes sense, smart 6'10 player who is long and athletic. Odom had all the tools to be a dominant defensive player.

I don't know why Odom is being compared to Green. Different players. Green is a better defender and three point shooter. Odom was a better playmaker and rebounder.

Odom was one of my favorite players since he was drafted by the Clippers. Still remember he scored 30 points and had 12 rebounds in his NBA debut.

I hate to say it, but Odom was an underachiever. With his size and talent, he could have been a superstar. Green is an overachiever, so far. Doing more with less god given traits.

No midrange ability
-no post ability



Dude is just a step back three point shooter that can hit an occasional fancy layup off a screen with nobody near him



He relies 95% of the time on a screen. Scores basically on streak shooting


Not a reliable go to option

Why is it whenever the warriors are stagnant they go to klay thompson to create a shot

Klay is their go to guy when a three isnt the first option


Even steve nash had more mid range ability and break down driving moves

Hes hard to watch.. his chuck fest has become boring

I used to like him but meh

He's great at half the stuff you said he can't do :biggums:

Odom is way better at offense than Draymond Green, I don't even need any stats, this is a slam dunk with the eye test.

Odom was also a stud defensively. Advanced plus/minus puts him in the Duncan/KG territory. http://stats-for-the-nba.appspot.com/ratings/2009.html . Makes sense, smart 6'10 player who is long and athletic. Odom had all the tools to be a dominant defensive player.

Odom was a better player than Green.

Did you just compare Odom to KG/Duncan on defense? Stop it.

I loved Odom, but he was not as good on defense as Green is.

Green is a quality passer and a solid shooter on offense. He can play offense. He does not suck at it like you claimed.

I don't know why Odom is being compared to Green. Different players. Green is a better defender and three point shooter. Odom was a better playmaker and rebounder.

Odom was one of my favorite players since he was drafted by the Clippers. Still remember he scored 30 points and had 12 rebounds in his NBA debut.

I hate to say it, but Odom was an underachiever. With his size and talent, he could have been a superstar. Green is an overachiever, so far. Doing more with less god given traits.

Green's 3 point shooting? :biggums:

Honestly how many Golden State games did you watch this playoff? Green's 3 point shot along with his entire offensive game was non existent...

Odom is better than Green offensively...Defensively it is a toss up.

Curry is already a better player than Kobe ever was.

Curry>Kobe.

Put Curry on the Lakers and OP would make arguments about Curry as the GOAT.

Still better at the three than Odom ever was. It's a legit weapon for Green whereas people dared Odom to shoot it.

Odom was a very good defender but I think Green is better. More of an Artest type player that can guard 2-4 at an elite level and even when switched into the 1 or 5 can hold his own. Lamar didn't have the lateral quickness. Green is more a scrappy pest than Odom ever was. Odom was an absolute monster on the boards.

Anyways my whole point is that they're not comparable players. Artest vs Green would be better.

Can he even create his own shot inside the 3 point line?

No 1 on 1 skills asside from cross overs while utilizing a screen

Not a dynamic player like the old school scoring guards

-no driving ability
-no back down ability
-no driving pull up ability
-no fading ability
No midrange ability
-no post ability

What horrible wording. Steph Curry...not a dynamic player? Kill yourself.

On a lighter note, my autocorrect literally changed steph curry to Strong Curry.
