Steph has been embarrassing CP3 all year

AFTER THE CRASH​

Friends, teammates, and family remember the career, legacy, and tragic death of former Charlotte Hornets guard Bobby Phills

Great article.

Great article but the part that stuck out the most to me and was unsettling was this quote

Shinn found his worst fears confirmed. When the Hornets returned to playing, Shinn visited the locker room before a game shortly after the accident. There was none of the normal jabbering among players. Just silence. “Like a funeral,” Shinn said. He recalled only two players who had never turned down requests to appear at charitable events. “Those guys were Bobby Phills and Muggsy Bogues,” he said. “I was always told: Don’t fall in love with the horses — talking about the players.

The horses? Like really? That's so disturbing how these owners truly view these players behind closed doors.

yeah but he needs something to take the attention off his face

Not your type?

Steph has been embarrassing CP3 everyone all year

Fixed.

Still amazes me how some of these guys (Harden, Curry) were being taught by Bron and CP3 at camps. Now, they are elites in the league as well.

cp3 was talm bout JR i betchu.

Hassem Thibbett was there too and he is epically awful. I wish there was footage from the camp outsdie of bron talking to his 'dawgs'. i wanna see how curry and beard fared.

 

[awwsome]

You guys heard his story of Blatt basically being Lebrons assistant coach during games?   

No way Blatt is the coach next year.

I wouldn't mind seeing him get another shot somehwere else because I feel for him. He was put in a situation that's as awful as could be for a 1st time coach. He never stood a chance once 'Bron was coming back

cp weak af bruh bruh.

Because he had his ankles broken by maybe the best offensive player in the league? It happens. Was Michael Jordan weak because Iverson crossed him up? It was an exceptional move by Curry that would have done the same thing to pretty much anyone else that could have been guarding him on that play - from any team.

damn you're caping hardbody.

He has but he's gotten CP3 pretty good this year.

agreed,,, lj couldnt pull that ish with the heat but obviously dan gilbert doesnt mind letting lj control everything.... blatt has to put up with this prima donna... so disrespectful... not  good leadership by lj

 eghhhh i dunno about ALL that fambz. it was a basic behind the back. cp3 took a bad step, but he took it at the worst time. u know the rules. and then curry hit the shot. thats a wrap. but i dont think everyone would get broke off with a behind the back like that. it was just unlucky

I've seen guys ***** about the comparison, but there is a lot of slavery-esque thinking when it comes to sports.

The backlash Bron, Wade and Bosh got when they decided to take things in their own hands should have showed people, but a lot of it was veiled as people hating the whole "super team" idea but there were also people who didn't like seeing young black dudes bucking the norm.

 

[champcruthik]

cp weak af bruh bruh.

"CP3's" right foot stepped on Steph's left as he fell. Curry still turned Paul's ankles to jelly, but I'm sure the loss hurts more than the crossover with the Spurs chasing.

 

[shenggg]

Cp0 seems like a cool dude off court. But he is one little ***** on court.

Word,no way in hell was Riley gonna put up with something like that 

. He had Spo's back through and through which is why he lasted even when everyone called for his head after the 9-8 start. Gilbert doesn't seem to give a damn

Not really. You just said some dumb ****.

Cal gone if they go undefeated, what else would he have to accomplish as a college coach really?

Son makes the Final Four every year he is in the tourney and would have 2 championships in the last 4 years.

he got cooked on a basic behind the back move. dude wasn't out there being houdini irving with the rock. it was just a quick move that had cp3 playing twister. weak sauce. deal with it. you comparing it to a.i. and mj... com'n son

Gilbert really doesn't have a choice.

Cal to Cleveland would be interesting to say the least...*popcorn ready*

I don't think Steph Curry has even hit his prime yet

C'mon son @ you saying that was a basic move. There's only like two or three players in the league who could have pulled that off. Plus, CP stepped on his foot, which is why he fell so bad. Now you're looking even more dumb.

You don't like Chris Paul or the Clippers, we get it. But saying he's "weak" for what happened on that play is just silly.
