**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[hand2handking]

i dont even feel like its that hard for steph no i mean its that hard but

if he hits 5 threes every quarter it dont even sound like a lot if he shot 10 threes in every quarter

The bottom line for me is this. Steph's gravity is not noticed casual basketball fans, but it is something that is incredibly important. Never seen anyone guarded like Steph is.

HOWEVER, to be mentioned in elite company of the best of the best, we need more. I want to see Steph go apes**t. Go BE the all time great that some think you are. Put up 48 points and dominate the game. Give the voters no choice but to vote for you for FMVP. End this talk about all the greats have FMVPS. You want it Steph? Go take it. Thats what the best players in NBA history would do. You want to be mentioned in that group without hearing crap from the peanut gallery? Then its on you to make it happen.

I agree with this. Steph is amazing, but I want more from him. I need bro to empty the clip. Even though he's averaging like 35 over the last 8 games, I want him to push it to 40+ for at least a game or two. Show up and show out. Make them pay attention to you. I think the world is ready for Volume Curry.

steph not shooting 40 3s in a game b. wth. Rockets average like 45 as a team.

40-3s is equivalent to pitching 8 straight innings. Heds be dead after that.

Bro..I legit don't pay any attention to none of them talk shows . Like I had no clue it was a 'thing' until you started posting these clips, which I still don't watch . That's why every time you or someone else be talking about how he's underrated I'm just like..where? And then you post some skip Bayless **** . I just watch the games and see him do his thing, see how every team's commentators praise him etc. NBA tv shows him love too. Aint nobody sleeping on him like that .

Would you say LeBron is underrated? Bruh has his own hate thread . Hated =/= underrated. Kobe had plenty of haters too. So did Jordan and plenty others. Charge it to the game

There’s a difference tho. It’s why Iggy said what he said. It’s why they’re doing segments on it. And the discrediting that gets thrown Steph’s way has partial to do with basketball...and a lot on misconceptions about who he is, how he plays, where he comes from, how he looks.

We talk **** on Kobe, Bron etc etc...and “hate them” in the way you’d crack slick about an all time great. They’re still recognized as such. With Steph...there is a clear reluctance to appreciate him by a larger than you know set of the basketball public. His “greatness” isn’t in the traditional sense. Not in trajectory, build, recognizable impact or background. He’s an outlier, and people tend to scoff when you point out the **** he does. It’s why here, on NT and on social media....there’s the “steph better talk” and some hyperbole. It’s a pushback to the “just a jump shooter”, “soft”, “choker”, “doesn’t show up in the finals” etc label....that still holds for Steph in 2019.

I think its just hard for the casual fan to wrap their heads around a 6’3 180 lb, jump shooting PG...that comes from privilege, is light skin, seems like a goodie two shoes etc to be THAT dominating of a player. Especially with the **** that doesn’t show up in the box score that they don’t pay attention too.

That’s a thing man.

son....this made me feel uncomfortable.

that's some ted bundy ****.

Volume Curry is a scary sight
Imagine averaging 28 a game in the finals but “looking funny in the light”
Y’all wild

Someone calls Curry the GOAT or PGOAT - not barbershop talk

Too much pressure for curry to play defense?

Ayesha would be proud...if she wasn't thirsty looking for attention elsewhere. Keep doing you man.

Curry has a horrible shooting game = look at his gravity
Curry goes scoreless in 4th = he let his teammates score with his screens

On Kobe heels & Chasing Magic got you nervous

I feel it. 4th ring coming

 

[tekthemaestro]

that is weird for real. it would definitely psyche out an opponent. dude talking himself thru the game like hes watching it 3rd person...while defending you. super weird. but apparently it works

"board man board man yea thats meeeeeeeeeeee"

You keep trying to speak this into existence like the revenge tour and it's the same thing he chasing Magic and Kobe without a snowball's chance in hell of catching either.
