[QUOTE=8Ball;14321789]Shooting contested 2’s is low iq[/QUOTE]
you'll be envying Donovan Mitchell's contested 2-point ability and wishing Curry was good like that..... should they meet later on (he will destroy Curry and expose him far worse than Kyrie did)
[QUOTE=3ball;14321772]Jordan was skilled at basketball, so he could shoot contested 2-pointers, and therefore whenever he wanted.
Otoh, Curry can't shoot whenever he wants because he's just a 3-point shooter (not really a ballplayer)[/QUOTE]
Curry is one of the most skilled players of all time. You’re an idiot.

Curry is so much better than Mitchell it’s not even funny.

I disagree because Mitchell would be good without threes and Curry wouldn't
[QUOTE=3ball;14321806][B]I disagree[/B] because Mitchell would be good without threes and Curry wouldn't
Mitchell can elevate and make contested 2's[/QUOTE]
Permaban time.

Curry is only a top 10 player in today's 3-pointer format
This should be intuitive
[QUOTE=3ball;14321806]I disagree because Mitchell would be good without threes and Curry wouldn't[/QUOTE]
Curry is a great midrange scorer. wtf are you on about
He's having a meltdown like Lebron won something :kobe: . What's he gonna do once the Lakers beat the Nets in the Finals and Bran wins FMVP?
[QUOTE=3ball;14321736]Curry didn't get there first - Ray Allen, Gilbert Arenas, Quinton Richardson, Peja and numerous guys were taking 7 or 8+ threes per game long before Curry did..
So Curry simply came along at a time when the league strategy was shifting to a 3-point format [i]that spaced out defenders and yielded open looks consistently[/i].
80% of today's threes are open, including 70% of Curry's, according to NBA.com.. Otoh, Reggie Miller didn't benefit from spacing strategy, so he always had a defender attached to him (like when he had to shove Michael Jordan to get open for the winner in the 98' ECF).[/QUOTE]
Yes, Curry got here first. Ray Allen can shoot. The entire history of the league is riddled with great shooters.
NO ONE can shoot like Curry. This is the point we are making. He is/was unique.
Other guys copy but no one is shooting 10 threes a game while being the primary focus of an entire defense and making 46% of them.
Jordan is still the GOAT. It’s ok for other players to be great dude.
You better pray the warriors lose to the Grizzlies. :oldlol:
If not he's in for a rude awakening.

Curry playing well against the Jazz won’t change anything. He’s been a monster for 6-7 years now. No awakening will ever happen.
He still makes lebron threads almost every day. Should tell you all you need to know about where his head is at.

I still entertain myself with lebron threads because the charade to manufacture his career continues
He's my Kwame Brown.. I shit on him because he's a fraud just like the media shitted on Kwame for decades.. Kwame is now kicking everyone's ass, and Lebron can do the same by carrying the Lakers to a title like Jordan did.. Show the elite jumpshooting skill, great ball movement and carry AD to a title like MJ did Pippen.
But the reality is that lebron has never carried the scoring load in the playoffs and Finals while winning a title.. and he lacks elite jumpshooting skill or ball movement (off-ball), or #1 offenses.
So I'll always get to shit on him . No Kwame comeback for LeFraud

You do quite a bit more than entertain, fella.
You’re under the impression that people think lebron (or anyone) > Jordan. The post above literally proves that. The vast majority, including myself, don’t believe that. People troll you and some perhaps entertain the idea, but don’t truly believe it either.
Of all of the athletes who have ever lived...Jordan is one of the top 3 guys who least need to be defended. Just sayin..
I hope as you age you find peace with Jordan’s legacy and don’t feel the need to continue this weird plight.
But I also don’t actually care.
There is nothing overrated about Steph Curry. One could argue that he's underrated.
[QUOTE=kentatm;14321349]Saying Curry just stands around waiting to shoot 3s is one of the dumbest ****ing things I've ever read here on ISH and I've been here since before it changed to vBulletin.[/QUOTE]
This dude doesn't watch the modern NBA, only highlights and only cares about scoring. He is too busy jacking off to MJ clips to think clearly. The fact he has been on this forum this damn long is still shocking. He should be permabanned for good. All the people I have seen be banned forever over the years for the dumbest shit, but he can continue to troll. It doesn't make a lick of sense.
I don't think Curry is overrated, but he is a heck of a frontrunner. He plays out of his mind when his team is up double-digits and runs up the score, but he drops down to Earth when the game is close and he's not as effective.
The irony is this guy's username is 3ball, but he despises the 3-pt shot. What the ****?

Curry not even in top 10 for greatest offensive players of all time.
[QUOTE=Cold soul;14322019]Curry not even in top 10 for greatest offensive players of all time.[/QUOTE]
If he's goat in terms of being an offensive player, then i guess it's not too much to expect a finals mvp from him back in the day where the dubs were making the finals for five straight times. Too bad none of them ended up for him with at least one. Plus, there has been no playoff game to date yet with him scoring 50 or more. So almost everyone knows they're just limited to the rs.
:lol 3ball is SHOOK
Frankly to me he's not even in the discussion of the top ten of overrated players in NBA history
As proven with his 3rd mvp this season, he's better then any player Jordan ever eliminated. Kawhi eliminated his ass in 2019
[QUOTE=TheCorporation;14504661]:lol 3ball is SHOOK[/QUOTE]

He was missing 2 of the best 3 players....but you know this...your head is in the sand like bron stans....dumb fvck
Hence why no-one cares about that title

Curry was as healthy as he could of possibly been and draymond never got suspended, sounds like 2016 but even better to me.
Nobody gives a shit about your teams lame ass finals wins over bums like allan houston and chauncy billups....dumb fvck
[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]
Interesting.
[QUOTE=3ba11;14581707]I've conceded before that Curry and Giannis proved me wrong. [B]I have Curry top 5[/B].. 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]
:roll:
With a championship this year Curry's resume will probably be better than Shaq's. Curry is still in the running for displacing Jordan and that has all the powers that be concerned.
Yeesh, I forgot what a brutal beating 3ball took in this thread. Pretty damning evidence he has no idea what he’s talking about, getting corrected by over a dozen different posters in the thread, even getting called out by tpols & ImKobe :lol

Now he calls Curry top 5 all time. :roll:
From most overrated player ever to top 5 in which the only 'bullet point' added resume-wise between the two statements is a scoring title. No folks, these conflicting statements above aren't from two different people with unique views. This is one person saying one thing and then doing a complete 180 a couple months later, with nothing of consequence happening to cause such a wild swing in viewpoint.
Also:
3ball May 2021- '[I]Giannis is a Pippen level player carried by Middleton'[/I]
[B]July 2021* Giannis wins title/FMVP, drops 50 in closeout game*[/B]

Oh we're talking about Shaq? No matter 3>1 still.
If Curry were to win this year he'd also have led two/three different iterations of a team (with two clear turnarounds) to victory whereas Shaq would have led one.
