[QUOTE=RRR3;14321511]MJ scored more because he shot more. Curry just had a better scoring season than MJ ever did considering efficiency.[/QUOTE]
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)
Shooting contested 2’s is low iq

Without the 3-point line or strategy, players were forced to take contested two's
2-pointers is real basketball.. 3-pointers aren't

Anyway, you'll be envying Donovan Mitchell's 2-point ability should he meet Curry later on (he will destroy Curry)[/QUOTE]
Shooting contested twos is a sign of bad basketball. Bad passing and skill

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)

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

Mitchell can elevate and make contested 2's[/QUOTE]
Permaban time.
[QUOTE=RRR3;14321808]Permaban time.[/QUOTE]
Curry is only a top 10 player in today's 3-pointer format
This should be intuitive

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.
