Could Lillard drop 40 without 3's against Hakeem's championship Rockets in Playoffs?

[3ba11]

So how is he better than KJ, who did this 4 times in the 94' and 95' Playoffs?...

It takes superior skill to score without threes, spacing or easy rules that keep the paint clear and defenders' hands-off.

Btw, KJ averaged 27/5/9 in two 7-game series against the champs but lost because his sidekick Barkley underperformed.

You're obviously 5 years old

KJ is far better than Lillard

[AlternativeAcc.]

So KJ is better than Curry?

No

Lillard and KJ are nowhere near Curry in the 3-pointer basketball (post-1980)

Curry can play off-ball, whereas Lillard has literally twice as much hold-time as Curry and half the assisted rate (Lillard isn't an assist target)

It's Curry..... KJ................... Lillard

[1987_Lakers]

KJ was being guarded by Kenny Smith

KJ was being guarded by Kenny Smith


Curry is a worse defender than Kenny, who was in the dunk contest and a super-athlete

Kenny was Mr. Nice Guy but a super-athlete

So KJ was guarded by Kenny, Vernon Maxwell plus no-spacing, super-physicality, and packed paints

Lillard has it easy by comparison

You said KJ is better because he scores 40 without 3s sometimes

Curry only scores on wide open 3s

Just using your logic... could curry score 40 without 3s against Hakeems championship rockets?

[Kblaze8855]

The 3 is over 60 years old in American pro ball, was in the ABA like 55 years ago, and the nba 43 years ago when KJ was like 13. They added it to college while he was there as well.

The 3 is not something players from his time didn’t have it’s something they didn’t choose to emphasize and that’s no reason to ask players who do if they could do whatever while playing stupidly.

Im sure nobody now could score 40 on mostly sky hooks doesn’t mean anyone should be judged by not doing it.

Youre who you are not who you might have been if you were born during the civil rights movement.

Dame can score the way hes trained and nothing else matters. KJ likely couldn’t go wet 11 threes and that doesn’t matter either. You play how you play and how you might play forced to play a game you have no reason to master is irrelevant.

Curry can't drop 40 without threes but he can get 40 without dominating the ball, unlike Lillard or KJ

KJ dropped 40 points two times, both in '95 when Maxwell didn't even play in the postseason you stupid fvck.

Your OP was a lie. He didn't drop 40 on them in '94.

Previous eras have the same advantage in 2-point shot-making that today's era has in 3-pointers

That's my point

People don't realize how garbage at shot-making today's players are outside of threes ,- it's DIMENSIONS inferior - Lillard could never drop 40 on Hakeem without 3's.. He couldn't even drop 30 without threes, whereas KJ or anyone can learn threes.

In addition to shot-making, previous eras were also far superior passers because they didn't have today's spaced-out, beginner format.. There was no high-screen roll for automatic assists - previous eras had to thread needles and have superior passing instinct in the random, unspaced environment of prior eras

Here's dame scoring 40 in every way imaginable, off-ball, driving, iso, and being his teams main playmaker vs. the number 1 D in the playoffs

Curry doesn't get credit for not being his teams best playmaker which results in him not holding the ball as much

Dame can do everything curry does while being better everywhere else and spoon feeding teammates open 3s

Why did you lie about KJ doing it 4 times?

38, 38, 43, 46

That's 4 games of basically 40 points

You're derailing the thread about something that doesn't matter because you don't like being taught anything

You can't stand corrections to your pre-concieved notion

So you admit you lied and were wrong about Maxwell guarding him when he dropped 40, thanks.

I didn't lie about shit

You're just an immature derailer

You should be put on ignore for adding nothing to threads

And Lillard was guarded by Curry - that's a worse defender and athlete than Kenny Smith.

It's more impressive to score 40 on all 2's where every shot is nearly BLOCKED (no spacing), then dropping 40 in a spaced-out beginner format that yields a bunch of neat open jumpers & layups
