[getback]

They really gonna send DRose the Knicks?

 

[Cashflow]

To compete for a title?

We talking about an All-Star or what?

Klay Thompson

 

[703 hwy]

Better passer
Better rebounder
Better overall player
Better at the same age

Only thing steph do better is shoot from 3

Hey hey hey, it was determined here that Steph is an elite defender as well. He gets steals.

 

[pums]

Steph is just a better shooter is such an understatement every time a player gets compared to Steph. He head and shoulders above everyone in the history of the game when it comes to shooting.

You can always tell who started watching the NBA when Lebron had The Decision. Duncan was Finals MVP and damn near doubled David Robinson’s stats

I get what you are saying and it IS true.

But I WONDER how Steve Nash, Mark Price, Chris Mullin, (Prime) Ray Allen would look if they were playing in this era where players are HIGHLY encouraged to take and make as many 3's as possible.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Luka > Steph

In 30 years, do you feel Luka's career will surpass Steph's ?(Assuming he doesn't get hurt)

steph made this era. They could have got the attempts if they were innovators

None of those guys have the mix of Steph’s wiggle and off ball movement/ stamina. That plus he can shoot it as well off the bounce or c&s its not really close.

You are 100% correct.

I'm not saying those dudes would have done what Steph is doing. I just would have liked to see the type of damage they would have done in this era.

Hard to say, depends on if Mavs get 3 more all-nba players

 

[addict4sneakers]

Ray Allen shot 8 threes a game in 01. Dennis Scott got up 8 in 95. Reggie was getting up 5 and 6. They had some hot lines and Steph made it a hot album

Through the "luck" of the Draft or because they rigged the table?

Yea, those were outliers for the time period.

Not far-fetched to say those numbers would have increased had they been "alive" today.

Seattle Ray Allen. Fun team to watch.

 

[QU!K]

Ray Allen would probably be similar to Dame Lillard or better today.

or maybe Klay Thompson with better handles

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Ray Allen was better than Steph. Gotta agree there

 

[pums]

Steph probably has to most guys trying to discredit what he has accomplished.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Prime ray Allen shot 7 threes a game. How would have he been better? He played the same way guards do now

2 through the draft, 1 through elite tampering and recruiting

Pace and Spacing. Putting up stats now is easier than ever before . Coaches love spamming the spread pick and roll.

no comment

Dude gonna shimmy himself to a first round exit

love to see it

Elite tampering and recruiting?


What makes that situation ELITE when compared to any other Free Agent acquisition in NBA History?

 

[shotsrangout]

I mean what gets lost in this steph explosion last night is that the warriors lost

Can say all this stuff about Steph but luka took him out back and WON THE BALL GAME

 

[lawdog1]

Klay is more comparable to Ray Allen then Steph is. Ray would be about what Klay is today, IMO.

It’s not lost at all. Been mentioned in here repeatedly since the game, mostly by QU!K
