[QUOTE=3ball;14321172]He relies on today's high-screen, drive-and-kick strategy.
This strategy allows 3-point shooters to stand and wait for kickouts, thus adding to the attempts they get off-the-dribble or off screens - if Curry had to run off screens with a defender stuck to him like Reggie Miller had to do, he would barely get off 5 theees a game..
Curry actually took 5 threes a game for 3 straight years and was a 19 ppg scorer, but then the league strategy became the aforementioned 3-point contest, which allowed Curry's production to reach elite levels.
Ultimately, he's just a 3-point shooter, so he's 1-dimensional.[/QUOTE]

[B]I thought Curry was one-dimensional before I developed a top 10 all-time criteria and realized that he checks all the boxes.
The criteria is based on pure basketball ability and not media awards or longevity:
1) knowing how to win, aka organic... 2) defeat maximum defensive attention (carry scoring load in Finals)... 3) yield maximum team ceilings/Finals records
Curry happened to check all those boxes once I developed the criteria, so he was the focus of my official top 10 and criteria posted in [url=http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?499177-My-top-10-(supercedes-all-previous-rankings-for-reference-purposes-going-forward)][U]11/2021[/U][/url]

Thank you for keeping us up-to-date, OP.
This thread and take will never not be among the most retarded comments ever made, regardless of how much 3bot tries to course correct 'updating' his opinion. It would be one thing if he said a year ago that Curry was barely top 30 or something, which would be wrong but it's not the outright steaming pile of shit take that 'hes the most overrated player ever' and then going the complete opposite direction once he's developed some kind of 'criteria' intended to include some and exclude others.
I proposed that Curry was 12th last year when we did the GOAT ranking votes( look it up), and that's where he ended up getting placed here, and probably about where the media will end up placing him. If he gets into the top 10 it will be at the expense of Hakeem, Kobe, or Duncan. The basketball community seems reluctant to move guys like Magic and Bird out ( not saying Curry should be over either, just saying that we tend to protect certain legacy players and ink their names into the GOAT top 10 along with a few others).
It's all tiered end of the day anyway, we act like there's some major difference between someone ranked 10th and someone ranked 12th. Hell, there's not much difference between someone ranked 10th and someone ranked 20th. Most of the differences are minute and circumstantial moreso than skill,talent and impact.

If the Warriors win the title in a few days and Curry has another 5 or so good years...he's going to finish in the top 10 for sure.

This thread was made a long time ago and Curry has since proven me wrong, which Lebron never did
That's why I have Curry in my top 5 all-time (he proved me wrong), while you guys fell for a fraudulent brand of ball
Seeing the light regarding Curry showed me how to rank players all-time - it should be based on the skillset that needed the least help to win - that's the best player..
Accordingly, history shows that the best expert jumpshooters (MJ, Kobe, Curry, Bird) needed less help than the best centers (Russell, Wilt, Kareem, Duncan, Shaq), who needed less help than the best ball-dominators (Magic, Lebron, Oscar)... So that's how the rankings should be

You made this thread 5/20/21, not even two full years ago, after Curry had already won 2 MVP's/3 titles and had been in the league for 12 seasons :oldlol:

2022 was the year Curry proved me wrong, and I saw it early in the season.. I was like "oh shit, he did it again... better hop on the bandwagon.. better late than never"
goats make you do that - they prove you wrong, while frauds never do.
ultimately, expert jumpshooting is the best skillset in basketball because it wins more with less via teammate development, fits/chemistry and strategic capacity/coaching... this doesn't mean bradley beal > lebron, but the most talented jumpshooters like Curry, Kobe or MJ certainly are.

Curry needed far more defensive help than a lot of other GOATs. That has to play some factor when ranking Curry. No doubt he is one of the best offensive players of all time though.
