in 70's, Curry long 2 < close post 2.. so curry/klay = role player in 70's

[tpols]

watch kblaze's link

mfers were slow as shit, with the most basic of layups and jumpshots.

they didnt even guard the areas peak Chef shot over 50% from 3



that would be elite midrange %'s right off the bat.

Exactly.

The type of shot that 3ball has wet dreams over.

Curry would be one of the best "mid range" shooters ever regardless of what era he is in.

who cares if you think it was slow back then - Curry can't exactly take advantage of it:

Right...

this is straight out the 70s and Jerry Lucas tape.








HOF Lucas one of the better shooters in the league being sagged off 10+ feet.





Chef...






You're a clown bro.

Anybody with two eyes could see Steph Curry would absolutely look alien and obliterate the 70s NBA.

Steph fans are so desperate they're now making the argument that curry, whose had the benefit of growing up in the 2000's with modern technology, nutrition, training habits, etc. would be a beast in the 70's.... and?


The presumption is that if curry grew up like everyone else who played in the 70's and 80's, he'd be a bench player or scrub like his pops, which is true

it really was a more physical game back in the day, so steph's EXTREME lack of physicality hurts him more immensely than it does today. This doesn't mean the game was 'better' or more sophisticated, it just means curry is a fragile little bitch would've never flourished without all the lucky breaks he's had plus a changed modern NBA

[tpols]

it's a brutal indictment when you watch 70s ball tape.

These guys were slower than molasses and had no creativity.

Line drive white guys peddling down the lane at 25 mph.



The BEST shooters being sagged off completely. It's honestly embarrassing.

But thats because the game progressed and changed.

If jerry west were born just a decade ago, and had the advantage of learning the game now, do you think he will still play “ancient” style of basketball.

If curry were born in the 50s, do you think he would have played exactly as he does now in the 70s? Range, handles, etc? If he were subject to the same limits as the guys did back then, how much would he have revolutionized it and played beyond everyone else?

You're not understanding OPs argument.

He's saying if you took peak chef... or prime chef whatever.. '13-'19.. He wouldn't even make the NBA.

Obviosuly he's built off past generations talent as has EVERY player to ever play the game.

You guys are making a retarded point.

Take curry back 50 years before he came up, do that with Michael Jordan he'd be a share cropper on some farm who never heard of a jump shot. Or basketball. You guys are retarded.

It's funny how you blatantly lie

OP said Stephs lack of physicality would hurt him and without a 3pt. line l, he would only be a role player at best, mainly because of his ball handling skills

Sure, steph would be an alien for a game or 2. But once they figured him out? Lockdown city... i actually agree with 3ball here and take back my original post.. even if Steph was magically transported to the 70s hed still be a role player

I'm glad I shamed you into not disappearing, now 3ball can bully you some more lmao

If you transported modern curry to play in 70s rules can you imagine the adjustment he has to make as to dribbling rules? He carries a lot and not being able to do that plus not having the incentive of the 3, how effective can he be on offense?

Good point, hed have to completely revamp his ball handling style on the fly. Just the mere fact that he would have to consciously force himself to not carry would drain his mental faculties, and with no 3pt line and more physical defenders, itd be a recipe for bench status

[SouBeachTalents]

he wouldn't make the league in the 70's... I don't even think he'd be a ballplayer at all back then

[3ba11]

I changed my stance to what you guys have, aka "no one cares about the 70's".... we done with the 70's

i mean, i'd be happy to bring them back into the conversation but you guys said no, so no... it's over now.. no one talks about the 70's or cares.. don't pretend to now.
