    Otoh, Curry can't shoot whenever he wants because he's just a 3-point shooter (not really a ballplayer)

    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)
    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.

    I disagree because Mitchell would be good without threes and Curry wouldn't

    Curry is only a top 10 player in today's 3-pointer format

    This should be intuitive

    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).
    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.
