....i would say the most skilled player ive ever seen and this is coming from a Reggie Miller, Lebron etc. etc. etc. "stan" with 80s/90s nostalgia who has 100+ Jordan games.... not only the most skilled but arguably the BEST player ive ever seen lace em up at least OFFENSIVELY... every single facet of the game offensively you could say he is the best ever at, perhaps not passing skills but im pretty sure he is MUCH better at that than we give him credit for, i mean its hard to turn down so many shots and pass instead.... when you just cant ***ing miss.....

He is the best shooter ive ever seen aswell, by far, ive seen them all live... Bird, Dale Ellis, Glen Rice, Mark Price, Reggie Miller, Peja, Nash, Nowitzki, Ray Allen even my country man Drazen Petrovic at his prime who i thought was even better shooter than Reggie..... they got nothing on Curry, take it from me... Curry would beat them all....

Infact i might go out and say as we might never see a better shooter in million years....

There i said it.... did i exaggerate? No, yes, maybe, probably, dunno, ya nah.... but i sure feel better now i vented it out...

Been eye testing him for way to long and enough is enough man.....

Fight me....


PS: I think, no wait, i GUARANTEE that Curry would average ~40 PPG on same efficiency if he had to (if he played with a worse team and were forced to chuck more, like say Lebron was with the Cavs 2003-2008 or Kobe was with the Lakers in 2005-2006, you know).


PS #2: Lebron stans..... stop it.... just give it up.... Lebron is not getting any better or healthier...

Nah, I mean, Curry is great and all, good role model and all that, but nah.

He is obviously the best shooter ever and he is above average to elite at the rim, but his passing is subpar for his position and his handles look better than they are. It's why he has been trapped frequently in the playoffs.

3PT shooting, offball movement and FT shooting are the only 3 aspects of offense hes the best ever at and a couple guys like Reggie and other FT shooters have a claim. Hes by far the GOAT 3pt shooter tho specially off the dribble

passing, playmaking, ball handling, offensive rebounding, midrange shooting, finishing at rim, driving/slashing, drawing fouls etc.....

and lets not get into how bad a defender is and how teams abuse and target him

No, i never liked Lebron like that... i never was a STAN.... i was a big fan however, there is a big difference.... i never let Lebron cloud my basketball judgement.... i liked/like him as a basketball player, i appreciate how good he was and how he played the game.... if there ever would be a player to come around and play better i would be the first to say it.... i said it for Durant during his MVP season aswell....

Has nothing to do with meltdown, the only player ive ever stanned hard was REGGIE MILLER....... and to say this about Steph Curry, as a Reggie Miller STAN takes even more guts....

My acquired taste was always pure shooting in players, the only non pure shooter ive ever was a fan was Lebron, Penny and Magic...........

I begged / awaited for a player like Steph Curry for a long time..... i just wanted to give him & myself time before im sure Steph Curry is THAT guy..... and now im absolutely sure....

Yes my friend, but to be honest what fans/people forget or dont think about is that when you are so good at one thing it can be enough to CANCEL OUT your cons..... to the point that it makes you even better / more impactful / valuable than a guy who does more....

You know how an old and dying Lion gathers up all his last strength he has left to do his last desperate attack against the prime Lion that constantly beats him & took over his pride, just to at least annoy him and then go "ha ha ha" and run away to his death with at least one happy thought........? That was Kobe tonight......

That was just sad to watch from Kobe and very surprising, totally uncalled for...... He wasnt even having a good game, but he sure wanted to take that time of the West leading the East even though its a completely useless game to poke & annoy the bear and show his evident feelings towards Lebron humiliating him where it matters (what else could it be?) by trashtalking (not fun or friendly trashtalking) and putting up all his energy (which he would not put up on the court all season) on trying to defend a nonchalant Lebron as hard as he ever could in a nonchalant all-star game......

I mean, he was DEAD serious, Game 7 Finals 1 minute left game tied type of serious.......... with all his might played full-court press while trashtalking, then got a block on him where Lebron did a nonchalant all-star-game type of play/jumper..... then Kobe trashtalked "HE CANT SCORE ON ME!!!".... Lebron still didnt want to get in to this old desperate mans last desperate endeavour....... Lebron then did some drives on Kobe where Kobe got away with what would be called a foul in a normal game (hooking his shooting arm on the drive & pushing)... taking advantage of great all-star game officiating afterall....... and then continued to trashtalk while the game ended.....

If Lebron was any kind of serious of winning this useless game and if Lebron knew what this pathetic old man had in mind in this useless game then he would come out from the start of the game and proceed to obliterate Kobe like he always does.........

Go ahead old man, way to go....... the bad thing about this Kobe is that any type of compassion Lebron had when he would face you is gone.... you are lucky you will never meet Lebron in the playoffs and you better pray that never happens...........

But you are VERY unlucky you will meet a very serious & pissed of Lebron in a regular season game until you retire.......... very unlucky................. cant wait to see their next matchup....
Lets see here.... this bothered me? No, this is more like comedy, a chuckle at a pathetic player endeavour which occurred during his downfall in a futile moment against a player that would steadily depress him during moments which are not as incompetent as all-star games....... considering this how could your cerebrum possibly develope your braincells to come up with such a stupid conclusion?

Time out of my life? It took 5-10 minutes, ISH is a hobby (unfortunately, with posters like in this thread/forum its becoming less and less of that)... what are you doing here reading this? What are you doing here taking time of YOUR life to write that ignorant assumption and still get decimated?

But nice try, the only reason you deserved a response from me here is because your cerebral cortex has compared to these other trolls at least slightly better function and decency to more articulately create a post which is within context.....


Look mr Graviton... I am either in humorous, lackadaisical type of mood or in very serious mood (hence also may be "eloquent") in this forum and that reflects to what & how i may type here...

I am perfectly aware of the typos which can occur through a rushed internet forum post using a keyboard, thank you for taking notice... but since you also are aware of this (and im sure you have done the same mistake) and might have understood the context of my post anyways then that unfortunately makes your post unnecessary, its not only thread derailing but also derails what i said...

One more thing... If English was one of your five fluently spoken languages and probably the one you would use the least in your everyday life and you still speak it so good i believe you would also be overall more "intelligent" in that department than any random American that can speak only English...... and dont you worry about backfire, i am the only one who is doing the backfiring... as you can see... it infact may be the culprit behind the attitude/behaviour i may recieve by many of these kids here.... especially if you are not only eloquent but also factual.... because that makes me a pessimist in their eyes as i spoil their delusional opinions....

..and the point still stands no matter how much derailing you did and will continue to do, what Kobe did was just low considering the circumstances... if Kobe would be able to do that against Lebron in any regular season or playoff game and have the same outcome then it would have recieved my full compliments ........... because then Lebron would have not been nonchalant from the start of the game and the officiating would be more improved, which means its very much unlikely Kobe would be able to pull this attempt anyways because Lebron would instead as he has done that to Kobe for many years.... which kindof also explains why Kobe was able to & wanted to take advantage of this moment...

Its not about being bothered (classic excuse), its about presenting the envious feelings Kobe tonight proved he has towards Lebron by doing what he did because Lebron did to him what HE did (where it matters).... its as simple as that.... i have nothing against Kobes game, have all the respect in the world for his game, but his mindset, thats a different story... i usually just ignore it, but tonight it was just to much even by his standards....... I dont give **** if it happened to Lebron or anybody else, please dont try that excuse, what Kobe did was simply low....... and i know you deep down inside know this.


I like Lebrons gamestyle & mindset much more than Kobes (i guess thats my way of telling you i am a "Lebron fan"), but if Kobe did this where it mattered.... then it would be only a compliment....

I love great basketball from anyone and what Kobe did was great, but completely unnecessary & unimpressive considering the circimstances of the type of game, type of officiating in such a game and how Lebron approached that specific type of futile game.... and that he had to trashtalk like a moron while doing it makes it even worse (if he did that during a regular season game or playoffs then its more tolerable and understandable)...
________________________________________

You've got Kobe fans pointing to Kobe's 81 point game, still somehow calling LeBron a mental midget, saying he should not have MVP because of this block and all kindsof pathetic things due to this block.... now it's become like the 9 millionth Kobe vs LeBron shot block post....

"Yea he is better than me, yea we wont make the playoffs, but we blocked Lebron!!!".....

The only thing curry is the greatest at is 3 point shooting and maybe foul shooting. Hes a great ball handler but not the best ever and after that he's just good to ok at everything else. Your forgetting about all the times in the post season where he got out played by players on both teams. I've broken it down it down in another post a while back but he's rarely been the best player on the floor in the post season and often is not even the second or third best player on the floor. He also has no fmvp's and only 2 reg season mvp's. That's pretty good but not goat material.

01-14-2019, 08:42 AM
Every time Curry goes off, it is absolutely over for the opponent.

He has the ability to control an offense like few have before. There's guys like Lebron who can drop 50+ and still lose, because while collecting stats they destroy the teams offensive flow, and there's guys like Curry.

Once he goes off it's an automatic win because he makes it so much easier for his teammates by getting triple teamed. Dont @me with that 2013 NYK game where they lost. That was old Curry.

Also it's a joy to watch because he does not need 10 flops and 15 free throws to get 50.

Marchesk
01-14-2019, 08:45 AM

No, just no. Curry is the best at a couple things, but everything offensively?

Magic was a better passer. Jordan had a better midrange. Lebron is better at getting to the rim. Dr J was better in the open court. Vince Carter is a superior dunker. Westbrook is more explosive. Bird was a better offensive rebounder, and Wade had a faster first step.

And those are just perimeter players. Obviously, Duncan has a better post game , Shaq was more dominant inside, Kareem had the most unstoppable shot in history, and Moses Malone was a far superior offensive rebounder. Barkley was a more efficient 2 point scorer in his prime.

As for best scorers in history, Curry's teammate has four scoring titles and has averaged over 30 for three finals. Kobe averaged 35 for a season in a more defensive era, which included that 81 point game, best in the modern era.

And we know what Jordan averaged for an entire career, both in the regular season, playoffs and finals.

PS: I think, no wait, i GUARANTEE that Curry would average ~40 PPG on same efficiency if he had to (if he played with a worse team and were forced to chuck more, like say Lebron was with the Cavs 2003-2008 or Kobe was with the Lakers in 2005-2006, you know).


PS #2: Lebron stans..... stop it.... just give it up.... Lebron is not getting any better or healthier...

I respect your opinion - and I am also not a die-hard stan of anybody.
First I like Curry and his basketball persona, and I am also on the same train with most posters, who considers him to be the best ever shooter - better than Allen, Reggie, Bird and the late Drazen Petrovic, who was also one of the best shooters in his prime years. BTW I also watch him with the great Yugoslavian team and remember that he was shooting far more 3s in Europe and Olympics than in NBA - therefore I dig some stats for it and I was right (Olympics and his only season with Real Madrid) - Drazen Petrovic made around 5-6 attempts a game scoring at least 2 3 pointers a game which made for around 40 % from the 3pt line.

But while I consider Curry the best shooter I am not the one who considers him the best offensive weapon ever. I would take MJ consistency over Curry's shooting. I saw Curry underperformed in the Finals, having 1 or 2 decent games for a series and that's it. As great Curry is - he was in 4 consecutive Finals and he was somehow overshadowed by other players. A 3pt shooter like Curry can burn you one day with 10 from 15 from the 3pt line and the next day he is 1 from 11 and you are lost (accept if you are playing with GSW where you have enough firepower to overcome it). You still got the excellent stat line shooting 11 from 26 from distance, but I prefer a steady, more versatile and consistent scorer, who can shoot, who can drive (have more options when the shots not falling) and who is clutch in the postseason.

Anyway I wish Curry all the best and hope that he will have his final say this or next year proving me wrong in my assessment. He is fun to watch and I will be happy to see him play healthy as long as he can.

How is Curry the best offensive player in the NBA when Kyrie outplayed him during their 2016 finals match up? He hit a game winning 3 in Curry's eye. Curry tried to do what Kyrie did but he couldn't because K Love's defense was too much for his inefficient ability to create enough space to get a good enough shot off. With teammates such as these doing these kinds of things, it's no wonder LBJ was able to win with them.

You're not wrong, but at least the 'he's the best shooter ever' just on the surface isn't nearly as outrageous a comment( without thinking about those elements you mention) as he's the best ever in every offensive facet. I mean, you broke down shooting in different ways, we haven't even gotten into things like post-game or slashing/finishing ability. Even in his own era he's not the best in those categories, just strictly from a positional perspective, to even put that in an all-time big picture context.

True...

The most mid-range shots he's taken (10-16ft, but I think true mid-range is about 11-17ft) was his rookie year at 11%. Then every year after that it went down to where it's lowest was 5% in B2B years, 2016-and 17.

I just don't think we've seen a somewhat steady arsenal inside the 3pt line to say he's the best shooter ever and we'll probably never see it cause he'll keep shooting more 3pa than 2pa. It's pretty much either at the rim or 3pa for his shot selections

Imagine Curry and Kyrie swapping teams in the 2016 Finals and tell me how you think that series goes... holy hell... LMFAO.

Yes, Curry is the best player in the league and he has been for like 2 to 3 years.

That's a pretty big overreaction OP and I'm very high on Curry.

His problems (which are very real) are his durability, lack of ability to get to the free throw line at an elite level, and his ability to handle physicality for a long period of time.

Now if you are JUST talking about offensive/scoring skill, peak Curry is as good as anyone. But basketball is more than just skill, and I'd take peak MJ, Kobe and Lebron for sure over peak Curry.

Curry simply hasn't done what those guys have in the playoffs.

Here's the picture: who is the player with a winning record in playoffs series against any of the other mentioned players?

It is baloney to say any of the other players have clearly done more in the playoffs unless you are using the results of their entire finished or further progressed careers in comparison to Curry's still unfolding career and even then Curry has already surpassed each of them in at least some areas.

It is baloney to say any of the other players have clearly done more in the playoffs unless you are using the results of their entire finished or further progressed careers in comparison to Curry's still unfolding career and even then Curry has already surpassed each of them in at least some areas.

So you are telling me that you have Curry > MJ/Kobe/Lebron...got it, thanks for your thoughts...

He is currently on a trajectory where only Jordan has a credible case of being superior.

Holy f*ck curry Stan's are in denial
By age 30:
Jordan
3 MVPs
3 fmvp's
7 scoring titles
6 defence first teams
1 dpoy
1 roty

Curry
2 mvp's
1 scoring title

Curry's not even close to being on the same trajectory. Curry fans stay delusional as f*ck:facepalm

He's definitely one of the best offensive players ever.

The dude literally has inverse Shaq like gravity and offensive impact from the perimeter (which was way more obvious before Durant).

He's not the most skilled offensive player ever but he is top 3 most offensively impacful players ever.

And he is EASILY the best 3pt shooter in history by a lightyear.

Has Curry ever even been the third best player in any Finals series he has ever played in?


1st best = 0/4
2nd best = 0/4
3rd best = 0/4 maybe 1/4 ?
It's hilarious how a 6 3 lightskin dude has an entire fanbase triggered just by his name alone. Sucks that your hero could have been that goat if Curry didn't come out of nowhere and shit all over his legacy of being a finals loser.

3-1 baby b*tch

Curry took the torch from Duncan & Kobe to own his era... and was the engine behind one of the greatest dynasties ever. He's gonna be a top 10 GOAT by the end.

Nah, I mean, Curry is great and all, good role model and all that, but nah.

He is obviously the best shooter ever and he is above average to elite at the rim, but his passing is subpar for his position and his handles look better than they are. It's why he has been trapped frequently in the playoffs.
Steph dunks sometimes , nothing impressive obviously.

He said Jordan is the only he won’t.....

Bran stans legit can’t even read :lol


Stephit is a very high iq poster btw. You guys should take notes.
Na man he's making it sound like its Jordan then him and then there's Everyone else below those 2. How? Curry has 2 mvp's, 3 chips with 0 fMVPs by the age of 30. Bird had 3 MVPs, 3 chips with 2 fmvp's by 30 and magic had 3 MVPs, 5 chips with 3 fmvp's by 30. Curry's well behind both of them. As I said curry fans are in serious denial.

Idk if Curry fans are in denial, more like the stans. But stans are by definition irrational.

Curry will end up in the top 15-25 range all time depending on his longevity...which is an incredible accomplishment.

My initial comment was in comparison to the 3 players that were brought up namely Jordan, Kobe, and LeBron. But Bird and Magic are not safely ahead either. Bird's and Magic's careers for health reasons didn't maintain their previous output after 30. If Curry maintains his health he has a good shot of surpassing them. The accolades referenced above are the ones handed out. Curry has set records that are simply there. 67-73-67. 16-1. Any player in NBA history can be compared to those marks and Curry's name is there at the top of the pile. Even among the subjective awards there Curry is with the unanimous MVP. The numbers behind the unanimous MVP are also eye-popping.

Critics can come up with their reasons to discredit him but those records and those numbers stick out like a sore thumb. Even if the FMVP should always be denied him going forward, his rings already number 3 and any future rings in a leading role on a championship team will make a mockery of the FMVP award. 90% of the FMVP is just being the leading player on the championship team. It will draw attention if he isn't awarded one when he is so clearly the engine of the team

Hes like

ball handling 7/10
Defense 6/10
Leadership 9/10
Shooting 20/10

So id agree, he is decent enough at everything to be best skilled player in history when you factor in his shooting advantage.
