A 6'6" guy was unstoppable doing this.. Why can't a 7-footer do it?

Lol it's so funny watching OP with his daily meltdowns. I usually ignore 95% of his posts, but sometimes it's worth reading to have a quick chuckle.

A reminder that Jordan faced these types of defenses in a regular basis in his Playoff career with way less scoring help and was still MJ regardless.

It didn't matter because Jordan's the GOAT mid-range scorer, something a Caris LeVert could only dream of being. I thought you were better than this.

[QUOTE=3ba11;14581707]I've conceded before that Curry and Giannis proved me wrong. I have Curry top 5.. Amazing how you can be so wrong about some things and look at it the wrong way. The screen name is 3ball because I hate it. Yet Curry is top 5 for me because the 3-point libe isn't going anywhere so Curry will be rightfully recognized 25 years from now as the spearheader[/QUOTE]


Curry is top 5 yet was the most overrated player in history?

[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]

kd isn't being guarded 1v1 by an unathletic dino with a 2 inch vertical.

[QUOTE=SATAN;14581770]Kevin tried to do that with time running out in 4th quarter last playoffs (although from the 3point line and heavily contested, ultimately very low IQ bball) and threw up an airball. Pretty sure he was scoreless in the second half. My memory is a little foggy though, perhaps Manny can chime in?

Anyway, he's not a guy I would ever compare to MJ. Not even close to #2.[/QUOTE]


I thought KD was 6'10" and could shoot over anyone?..

so that was a lie because he's getting his shot blocked regularly..

Apparently, strength and elevation on a jumper matter more than sheer height.

The reality is that you have to set up a turnaround jumper, which KD doesn't do (he relies on his height).. Jordan set up the turnaround with MOVES, footwork and physicality.. Durant does none of this on his turnaround

The fact that I came around on Curry after making about 5 posts about him lends credence to the 80k posts about Lebron being a fraud (I never came around)

My opinions on Curry weren't based on facts - they were based on my dislike of the 3ball... Otoh, my takes on Lebron are factual and historical record, like how he underachieved the expectation for his entire career - he failed to win the East with homecourt in 09/10, so he formed super-teams that fell from preseason favorite to Finals underdog or loser for 6 straight years (11-16'), and now he's lottery out West without AD to lead the scoring (better brand).

So Lebron nearly always underachieved the expectation, while Curry almost never did

[QUOTE=Johnny32;14581822]kd isn't being guarded 1v1 by an unathletic dino with a 2 inch vertical.[/QUOTE]How many players in today’s league are MORE ATHLETIC than Dominique Wilkins ? Or MORE ATHLETIC than Shawn Kemp ?

Because slow, no vertical Larry Bird put 53 on prime Dominique Wilkins.

Fat Barkley put 44/24 on prime Kemp, holding Kemp to 14/6, in the WCF game 7.
