How the media bamboozles lemmings into thinking Curry isn't the best player

[Stephonit]

Stephen Curry is the best player in the NBA today. This should be plain as day obvious. His achievements are singular and exceptional in NBA history. He has revolutionized the game. Like all revolutionaries, however, he has created enemies who wish to diminish his impact much in the same way the aristocrats of 19th century Europe wanted to diminish Napoleon and the French Revolution to preserve their power and influence.

Whether it be older players who are dismayed that their post up games are being abandoned and their records surpassed or business interests that are threatened because their totems that have made them billions are in danger of losing influence there exists incentive to downplay Curry's significance. Working in media these forces have adopted various tactics to do this.

The constant refrain of Curry as "the best shooter of all-time". Every time Curry is brought up they bring this up as if they are praising him. But it is really a backhand compliment. Curry cemented his claim on being the best shooter of all-time years ago. There should be zero debate about it. Instead what should be talked about is him being the best player in the league. Notice how all the "debate" shows absolutely avoid like the plague this obvious topic. They'll recycle all sorts of other talking points but they are silent about this. It's completely unnatural. If anything they should already be moving on to the topic of if Stephen Curry is the greatest player of all-time.

The importance given to media-created awards by media. Unsurprisingly media props up their awards since anyone taking them seriously gives influence to the media and its masters. It's all propaganda. If the argument is only based on media awards that's a sign you're only dealing with propaganda.

The changing goal posts. Even when it comes to the MVP award, media seems to have broken their made up rules just to thwart Curry. In 2017 Curry was the best player on the best team. He should have been a leading candidate for the award. Instead he was voted sixth. The excuse given? Having KD on his team made it unfair to give him consideration even though KD missed 15 or so games during the season. This year, however, they are trying to sell the idea of the inferior player as the leading candidate despite the main media mouthpiece saying he's playing with a player they've claimed is the second best player in the league. Absolutely ridiculous.

Constant comparisons to inferior players. They claimed Lillard is better than Curry! Despite being 0-10 to Curry in the playoffs! They keep doing this with the shooting record too. Ray Allen and Reggie Miller are great players but Curry deserves as many comparisons to Magic and Bird for his playmaking and Jordan for his overall offense. But the media is mum.

Silence over Curry's accomplishments. Much is made of LeBronto but the reality is Curry has shown even greater dominance over Stephland. Curry has done things no other all-time great has. You won't hear the arguments on network media. He arguably had the greatest 5 consecutive year span in NBA history. Not a peep from the talking heads who seem to be able to talk about anything else but that.

Praise for his teammates that is different from that given to teammates of other star players. His teammates deserve attention. Perhaps it's closer to the right amount in a fair world. But in this one it's not commensurate to what is seen from other stars. When the Warriors accomplish something it is deemed a team accomplishment when the Heat, Cavaliers, or Lakers do something it is the inferior player's. When the Rockets did something it was Harden's. When the Thunder did something it was Westbrook's. When the Bucks did something it was Antetokounmpo's.

2016 Game 7 vs. the Thunder. A game that changed the trajectory of the NBA. Pick any number of Curry plays from that game. The problem isn't finding one. The problem is picking which one since there are so many to choose from.

I read many things and Kawhi has passed Curry so i don't see how Curry would be ranking on top of Kawhi. Curry is a top five player but he is not the best right now, he only was in 2016

Apparently, matthew dellavedova is a kryptonite to stephen curry. Almost five years ago chef dingo blew their own 3-1 lead against him in the finals, a reason why the warriors had to call upon the services of kd and secure them chips in two finals later. Plus, curry himself had two playoff games so far in which he scored 40 points but both ended up in losses and unfortunately, he still has no iconic moments there atm. Besides, it isn't surprising anymore since he is 0/8 in crucial playoff moments. Meanwhile, donkey seems to be happy and satisfied with his role as a screen setter to chef which, in his perspective, is more rewarding than when the latter hits his threes. Furthermore, kelly oubre who 3ball says will be better than klay thompson career wise was shown to have impact in winning the oftentimes he outscored stephen curry; in those instances, the warriors went 3-0 since january. But yes, curry remains to be the greatest shooter of all-time. For that, he should get more cardinal rewards from nickelodeon and not media-created rewards like fmvp. :cheers:

This topic was created for people who can read and think. If they have the attention span of a lemming it wasn't for them.

Curry is a far more complete player than others. That people have been brainwashed into thinking that basketball should be categorized on a binary basis into offense and defense doesn't mean that what they've been led to believe is accurate. Curry's success argues against.

It's like how categorizing cancer based on where it is found in the body is simplistic and will not lead to superior treatment.

Butler, you say? But going 0-1 in the finals has pretty much made a dent in his resume.

[Walk on Water]

Of course Curry is the best player. He has 16 games of 10 threes or more. Nobody else has more than 4 games.

Here is the difference between LeBron and Curry:

Curry's two highest scoring games this season:

62 points on 18-31 shooting
57 points on 19-31 shooting

LeBron's two highest scoring games:

46 points on 19-26 shooting
34 points on 13-25 shooting

Curry's two lowest scoring games:

11 points on 2-16 shooting
13 points on 5-17 shooting

LeBron's two lowest scoring games:

17 points on 6-16 shooting
18 points on 6-13 shooting

Do you see the difference?

https://images2.imagebam.com/55/93/d4/b933a61369392076.gif

And this is just scoring, while not counting the overall game (rebounds, assists), which LeBron is infinitely better at. And the fact that Curry is 32 while LeBron is 36.

Curry is an inconsistent volume scorer who tries to make up for his poor games by jacking up extra shots in his good games. The perfect example of this is game 4 of the 2018 finals. The last game Cavs had any chance of doing anything in that series was game 3, which was relatively close. However, Curry choked in that game and scored 11 points on 3-16 shooting, effectively losing the Finals MVP. Yet in the following game 4, he is DESPERATELY trying to make up for his choke job in game 3. The Cavs are down 3-0 in the series, and are down by 20+ in the 4th quarter. The game is over. The series is over. Yet here is Curry jacking up shots well into the 4th quarter, DESPERATELY trying to make up for his choke job in game 3 and his overall stats for the series look better in hope of winning Finals MVP:

https://images2.imagebam.com/d8/c1/a9/5bf3221369391687.png

The truth is, he is not even the 2nd best player of this generation:

1. LeBron




Huge gap


2. Durant

Another sizeable gap

3. Curry
4. Kawhit
5. Giannis/Harden/AD

[Sulico]

I agree that Curry was best player in the league for a few years, but there is no chance he is best player in NBA right now.

Father time is undefeated.

I would take Joker, Embiid and Doncic over him. And possibly Giannis if he works on his mental game.

[SATAN]

Calling people lemmings is a good way to get people to take your argument seriously, OP. :lol

Seriously though...There's quite a few players that can drop 50 but 50 in a loss isn't anything to be on your high horse about as a fan, which you clearly are for some reason. It was a regular season game, man. Get a grip. Hopefully he can get you a win next time he's running around screens and putting up big stats like his fading legacy depends on it. :lol

I almost feel sorry for the guy sometimes but he is too cringe inducing and he let KD take over the team built around him and then that was it. :biggums:

He won't get another ring ever again and his ankles will probably explode before LeBron retires.

No chance? He leads the league in total points scored and has literally taken the last place team from a year ago to a plus record with victories over perceived title contenders.

Curry has more than one MVP and more than one championship. Joker, Embiid and Doncic don't have even one of either. I'll take the proven player until given a more compelling reason.

I have s soft spot for Steph, and you could probably convince me that he's better than Embiid, Doncic and especially Giannis.

But there is no way he's better than Joker at this point. Joker is all of the skills of 70 years of NBA put in 7 foot body and he is 25. He is not better than prime Steph, but he is better than 32 yo Steph that came back after major injury.

Right now, his 7.13 career offensive box plus/minus trails only LeBron James' 7.25. Over the last five seasons, Curry's is 9.5, compared to LeBron's 6.8. If those trends hold, Curry should be No. 1 all-time by the end of the 2019-20 campaign.

The sports media as a whole just reports on the facts... they (the media) dont have a horse in the race.

Curry isn't the best player by any metric, and certainly doesn't pass any eye test. Hes an atrocious defender, has a low iq, below average court vision for a PG, atrocious decision maker in crunch time, and overall is nothing but a streaky jumpt shooter on a below average team.

He sucks dick. Theres no conspiracy. He just sucks

Lol not hardly. I was glad we got rid of him. Absolutely clueless taking it to the basket. He had the most cringeworthy drives I have ever seen in the NBA. Very low IQ player.

If he would just take open jumpers and straight line drives he could be a useful player. But when he tries to create off the dribble you want to cover your eyes if he is on your team.

[tontoz]

I wouldn't call Steph definitely the best player. He can be a bit careless with the ball at times. I would say his court vision is pretty average. Defensively he isn't as bad as some claim but clearly it isn't a strength.

But he is an elite scorer with the ball or off the ball . Not many guys are both. A lot of the top scorers don't like running around without the ball. Steph does it a lot and it wreaks havoc on the defense.

Stephen Curry is the best player in the NBA today. This should be plain as day obvious. His achievements are singular and exceptional in NBA history. He has revolutionized the game. Like all revolutionaries, however, he has created enemies who wish to diminish his impact much in the same way the aristocrats of 19th century Europe wanted to diminish Napoleon and the French Revolution to preserve their power and influence.

Whether it be older players who are dismayed that their post up games are being abandoned and their records surpassed or business interests that are threatened because their totems that have made them billions are in danger of losing influence there exists incentive to downplay Curry's significance. Working in media these forces have adopted various tactics to do this.

The constant refrain of Curry as "the best shooter of all-time". Every time Curry is brought up they bring this up as if they are praising him. But it is really a backhand compliment. Curry cemented his claim on being the best shooter of all-time years ago. There should be zero debate about it. Instead what should be talked about is him being the best player in the league. Notice how all the "debate" shows absolutely avoid like the plague this obvious topic. They'll recycle all sorts of other talking points but they are silent about this. It's completely unnatural. If anything they should already be moving on to the topic of if Stephen Curry is the greatest player of all-time.

The importance given to media-created awards by media. Unsurprisingly media props up their awards since anyone taking them seriously gives influence to the media and its masters. It's all propaganda. If the argument is only based on media awards that's a sign you're only dealing with propaganda.

The changing goal posts. Even when it comes to the MVP award, media seems to have broken their made up rules just to thwart Curry. In 2017 Curry was the best player on the best team. He should have been a leading candidate for the award. Instead he was voted sixth. The excuse given? Having KD on his team made it unfair to give him consideration even though KD missed 15 or so games during the season. This year, however, they are trying to sell the idea of the inferior player as the leading candidate despite the main media mouthpiece saying he's playing with a player they've claimed is the second best player in the league. Absolutely ridiculous.

Constant comparisons to inferior players. They claimed Lillard is better than Curry! Despite being 0-10 to Curry in the playoffs! They keep doing this with the shooting record too. Ray Allen and Reggie Miller are great players but Curry deserves as many comparisons to Magic and Bird for his playmaking and Jordan for his overall offense. But the media is mum.

Silence over Curry's accomplishments. Much is made of LeBronto but the reality is Curry has shown even greater dominance over Stephland. Curry has done things no other all-time great has. You won't hear the arguments on network media. He arguably had the greatest 5 consecutive year span in NBA history. Not a peep from the talking heads who seem to be able to talk about anything else but that.

Praise for his teammates that is different from that given to teammates of other star players. His teammates deserve attention. Perhaps it's closer to the right amount in a fair world. But in this one it's not commensurate to what is seen from other stars. When the Warriors accomplish something it is deemed a team accomplishment when the Heat, Cavaliers, or Lakers do something it is the inferior player's. When the Rockets did something it was Harden's. When the Thunder did something it was Westbrook's. When the Bucks did something it was Antetokounmpo's.
