steph curry is EXTREMELY overrated

[Knicksfever2010]

LOL at people who think he's the MVP over Lebron. Lebron with his size can get his points even w/ a bad shooting game. Curry has been EXTREMELY mediocre so far.

[Derka]

Good thing they don't give the MVP award out for postseason play, right? :applause:

[Indian guy]

His first 3 rounds were spectacular and fully stamped the fact that he is league MVP. Kyrie and Delly have played some excellent D on him these first 2 games. Give them credit.

[Taller than CP3]

LOL @ being MVP and can't even take over a game

[warriorfan]

One off night during a legendary post season run. It happens to the best. Steph Curry was creating on offense when his shot wasn't falling. That is what he does and that is why he has the highest +/- in league history.

[DonDadda59]

He's the product of a weak era.

Can he even do anything besides chuck 3s? :confusedshrug:

he didnt have a great game in game 1 either, what say you?

[KiiiiNG]

:roll: :roll: :roll:

he was invisible most of the game

and when he wasnt he was either turning it over or missing long j's

awful performance, awful mvp

[warriorfan]

go peep curry's game 1 stat line and come back

[warriorfan]

LOL @ being MVP and can't even take over a game

He has made more tying or go-ahead buckets in the final minute than all of the other players from both team COMBINED

[kunk75]

he can create from 3 feet or 25 feet, maybe kobe is right about aau. he just isn't strong enough to physically take a game over

Explain.

[Relinquish]

He was playing against injured starting PGs. Holiday, Bev, Conley missed games, and game one he was against Irving who was hobbled.

[Straight_Ballin]

Curry 5-23 and Bron 11-34... IN THE FINALS?

Weak era.

[Draz]

You live and die by the three. Also the jumper. When you're off you're off. I honestly thought he'd fall back into the game and get a streak going. That's just how good he is.

[Relinquish]

Curry 5-23 and Bron 11-34... IN THE FINALS?

Weak era.

One had 39/16/11.

The other had 19, 6, 5.


:confusedshrug:

[Rocketswin2013]

He's overrated and a chucker. Delly outhustled him and took his soul. Shut him down and had him chucking airballs late. He also threw that TO that sealed the choke.

Shit defense in PnR's, too. Most bricks from 3 in a Finals game, ever.

[YouGotServed]

Overrated and carried by his teammates

[yeaaaman]

He had a bad game. It happens, that doesn't erase what he did all year. ISH is the epicenter of knee jerk reactions.

Lebron shot horrible as well. His team won. They both won't shoot this poorly the rest of the series. Curry hit the big 3 to pull the game close and then tied the game, why because he is such a dangerous shooter even if he is 0-100 that defenders have to play him air tight.

[scandisk_]

Your performance in the Finals is testament of your skill, talent and mindset. Curry ain't ready yet. He better step up on this series or I'm gonna slap em dudes claiming he's better than RayRay :oldlol: or even Reggie.

So we are rating him based on the worst game he had in a year?

[Clyde]

:applause:
Welcome to ISH.

Live in the moment or get out.

[yeaaaman]

On ish that is the most foolproof way to come to a conclusion. A sample size of 1 play usually is enough here.

[Straight_Ballin]

:confusedshrug:

Your point? My point is that the shooting percentages for both are horrendous.

ISH overreactions :roll: :roll:

[ChrisKreager]

If he goes off in game 3, how many 'Steph Curry is properly rated' threads will we get/

That's what I hate about ISH- we treat one game like it's everything.

If the Cavs had blown this game, we'd be talking about the Warriors winning on a C+ day and persevering.

I'm trying to take the glass half-full approach here.

[Hotlantadude81]

No great player would get shutdown by Dellva****ingdova.

[NumberSix]

No great player would get shutdown by Dellva****ingdova.
Apparently both Rose and Curry who are allegedly MVPs do.

[Hotlantadude81]

Apparently both Rose and Curry who are allegedly MVPs do.

Rose is no longer and elite player and Curry is not a great player.

[Young X]

He's a terrific player but when his shot isn't falling he does very little else to impact the game. He'd rather chuck a bunch of tough jumpers than setting up his team. He's NOT a PG.

That being said I'm not gonna overreact to one game. He'll probably destroy the Cavs in the next 3 games and win FMVP.

[ChrisKreager]

At this time last year, Kawhi was not setting the world on fire in games 1-2.

Just saying.

[NumberSix]

And, he didn't set the world on fore the next 3 games. They had the give the FMVP to somebody.

[Solid Snake]

Steph Curry is a *******.

[VeeCee15]

I dont think it's completely an off night.

Kyrie guarded great in game 1, Dellevadova did an even better job on him in game 2.

I really think his combination of a lack of strength vs physical defenders that's the issue. Curry needs to use his handles more to create separation from dellevedova in game 3.

[LAZERUSS]

It's amazing just how much one game can ruin a career.

It won't be long and there will be a video going viral with Curry clanking and air-balling 77 straight shots.

He will go to several shrinks, and then to Shaq for shooting advice.

By this time next year he will "grannying" his three-point shots...in a pick up game at the local Y.

All because of this one game.

Book it.

ISH at it again. Klay Thompson is the best Warriors player as well. Apparently, he can dribble. :bowdown:

[kshutts1]

I maintain that Curry really is over rated. That's he's an incredible player, an awe-inspiring shooter, and happens to play for the perfect team/system, considering his abilities. I just can't get over how many "open" shots Curry gets, especially with how good a shooter he is. For that reason alone, there is some over rating being done.

But that had nothing to do with this game.

[Genaro]

Stop overreacting. Curry had a great year and deserved his MVP award. He's been playing great so far in the playoffs. One game doesn't erase all of this.

And if you don't like jump shooters, I feel sorry for you. Curry teared the league with a heavy dose of jump shots.

[KNOW1EDGE]

I love Curry and think he's a fantastic player and a well-deserved MVP.

BUT the fact that people were literally trying to claim he is the greatest player of all time is just absolutely, for lack of a better word, re-fuchking-tarded.

Hes an amazing shooter and a great passer.

[RoundMoundOfReb]

2 games and he's overrated? If 2 games are enough to change your opinion on somebody you shouldn't have had one to begin with.

[KNOW1EDGE]

2 games and he's overrated? If 2 games are enough to change your opinion on somebody you shouldn't have had one to begin with.

But nobody has said they changed their opinion.

People are re-stating their original opinion, and using last night's game as "proof" -which in reality, Curry having one bad game is far from "proof" that he is overrated. The fact that he has been, and still is slightly overrated remains and will remain as long as people are throwing his name out in the GOAT discussion.

[AirFederer]

Apparently both Rose and Curry who are allegedly MVPs do.
JJ Barea and Jet shut down Bron in 11...

That said, it's a weakness in Stephs game that he couldn't drive or dish when they played him so tight. He should have driven by Dull at will for easy lay ups or assists. I recon he'll be back stronger.

[smoovegittar]

ISH: You're only as good as your last game.

[jzek]

One off night during a legendary post season run. It happens to the best.

Can't recall Jordan having an off night and a loss in the post season...

[HurricaneKid]

The reason Curry is overrated is that he is the weak link defensively. Dray/Klay/Iggy/Barnes are all interchangable defensively but Cle put Curry at the fulcrum of everything they do. And GS couldn't deal with that. They won't let Curry switch on to LeBron so they end up in a double. Thats how LeBron got almost half his asst.

[Wally450]

Curry, Harden, Westbrook, Durant whoever.....they can have the MVP.

LeBron is clearly the best basketball player on the planet.

[AintNoSunshine]

He deserved the MVP for what the awards criteriors are, but think about this. Lebron is worlds ahead of this leagues MVP. And nobody would even argue about Bron>>>>>>>>Curry

[PP34Deuce]

Delly is a little bigger and he's considerably stronger than Curry.

What i see right now with Steph Curry is what I saw years back when Ellis was on the team. He can be beat up and he still has lapses defensively.

Cleveland has assigned Delly to basically guard and shadow Curry everywhere. Delly actually has shown he can handle Curry one on one as he fights through screens much more than Bron, Shump, and JR.

GSW want to get switches for mismatches and not only does Cleveland have players like Shump,Bron, and Thompson for that, they also have a very dsciplined defender in Delly who knows how to fight through screens.

[Hey Yo]

Don't sweat it. Most will say it was an off night, but for some reason LeBron is NEVER allowed to have an off night.

Sitting out 20 4th quarters during the reg. season helped preserve that +/-

[RicksPlace]

He is a great talent and a great THREE point shooter, but he can't be compared to guys like Bird, Nash or Dirk as of yet. I take a Dirk 15-18 footer or the one legged fadeaway any day of the week over Curry. I just feel he is sometimes out of control and gets over confident sometimes, leading to bad shots.

[Axe]

I agree with you op

[TheGoatest]

He is only overrated when someone tries to make him the equal of the greatest player to ever play the game - LeBron James.
That aside, I wouldn't say that he is overrated in historical terms. For instance, he is a far, FAR better player than any perimeter player from the 1990s who didn't play on the Bulls. I mean, he absolutely mops the floor with the likes of Mitch Richmond and Reggie Miller.

[Axe]

"Who didn't play on the bulls" :roll:

Also according to his dup, not all players from the expansion era are of equal inferiority as the 90s dynasty team when compared to those playing in the modern ones.

[tontoz]

Axe is so obsessed with Curry that he bumps a thread from 2015. :facepalm

[Bronbron23]

He's definitely overrated by some. Anyone who thinks steph is on brons level dosn't know the game.

[Wally450]

Curry, Harden, Westbrook, Durant whoever.....they can have the MVP.

LeBron is clearly the best basketball player on the planet.

6 and a half years later, still seems to be the same.

[Full Court]

You don't say!

I don't spend my weekend looking for old threads to bump. Get a life.

[Axe]

I don't care. I'm sorry but i can't stop myself from clowning curry. You can always put me on your ignore too, that's fine with me. Also, i figured it's better to bump older threads than make one about him by myself.

[RRR3]

He's actually pretty underrated in serious basketball discussions.

[rmt]

If you mean impact on the game - I would say he has been the most influential player in this era. Curry has totally changed the way the NBA game is played.

[tontoz]

Curry won the only unanimous MVP in league history the following season, making this thread an epic fail and a low IQ bump. :lol

[Atlantis]

I don't know what's wrong with him. It feels like he's gone from an undisputed top 3 player to only top 10.
It seems like everyone but him has been having these 40+/50+ point explosions. I bought a Curry jersey as a laker fan and I'm disappointed.

If Curry can pull out an FMVP this year, he'll be borderline top 10 of all time.
