View Full Version : Coming out of college, scouts said he didn't have the handles or vision to play PG...

and that he'd probably have to be an undersized two-guard.



Well, he's been working on his handles and since then he has gone on to become a player who is the best ball handler in the NBA and has some of the GOAT handles of all time. Even the warmup drill he does has become iconic.


Curry is an inspiration to humanity.

He also became a GREAT playmaker, another thing NBA scouts said he would have problems with.

Just a fantastic player.

He will be a great player to watch once Kob retires.

Can we on ISH collectively agree to stop trying to force this "kyrie" thing?

He's not very good at playing winning basketball.

maybe compared to rookie year Curry but not current Curry. Curry is just better.

In what way? Kyrie has better handles in every single capacity. He has an unlimited amount of moves. Curry relies on back the back 90% of the time. Kyrie uses his handles to break down defenses in order to attack the paint. Curry dribbles behind the back to launch yet another three. It's not even close :lol

Curry has the better handles in my opinion.

Shaking a guy with the step back J is much harder than crossing someone and going forward.

Curry also regularly splits double teams with his handles and navigates crazy traffic and situations.

Curry doesn't need flashy tricks to be more effective than Kyrie is.

Anyone who watched curry in college...

They should know better. NBA scouts are wrong more then they're right. So there's that.
