THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[BIG FISH]

No way in hell he isn’t top 5. Dudes wildin lol

 

[wavycrocket]

I mean there's a pretty easy argument to be made that Curry is the 2nd best PG ever. EYE would still like to see some more longevity before setting that in stone though.

The average casual fan does not believe this. The average fan believes swap dame with Steph...and you’ll get the same result. I be telling y’all on here how Most fans don’t fully, really understand Steph’s greatness, outside of shooting. And pretty much undersell him as a complete basketball player...or attribute his success to things like having good teammates .

Who would be your 2 if not him?

convo starts at 3

magic, zeke and then you start having arguments.. between a few guys

if curry is drafted in ‘99 instead of ‘09 his career isn’t the same.. because he literally had to be taught how to run properly because of his ankle injuries (for example)

plus what makes the warriors THAT great before durant was having 2 of the greatest shooters ever.. the 2nd part of that equation doesn’t get discussed nearly enough

and yes his shooting ability does elevate him up the rankings, his deficiencies in his game are pretty clear which was my point regarding Nash being the better player and point guard.. Nash was a great shooter also, but dude was just flat out better running an offense and setting his teammates up

while steph has handles, he beats guys because you have to respect his shoot off the dribble THAT much.. Nash just beat guys off the dribble and wish he played today when shooting from point guards and 3s is more emphasized

Noticed this in most of the sports threads. Almost always sounds personal

Steph Curry was the guy that led the best offense in history...with Draymond green as his 3rd option to 73 wins....while shooting 50-45-90 and averaging 30/7/6...led the league in steals and hit 400 3s.

Most of the guys from the 2016 “strength in numbers” warriors team...were out the league by 2018 lol. Speights, Ezili, Barbosa.

He gets his teammates set up and runs an offense in ways that LITERALLY makes his entire team better.

You’re knocking him, for using his shooting ability as a threat to beat players off the dribble. Lmao.

THIS
IS
WHAT
I
MEAN

 

[B Sox]

Who would be your 2 if not him?

Zeke. Doesn't have the accolades, but he was a killer. Just reading articles that were written at the time, on top of what pretty much everyone he played with during that era say about him. His bball ref doesn't tell the story. Same thing I said with Magic and Nash.

Curry right there though. Not really going to argue if you want to put him 2 instead.

 

[B Sox]

Also, I have no idea what you’re supposed to do with Oscar in this convo.

he’s a great player.. being compared to other great players

jason Kidd couldn’t shoot a lick and is also one of the greatest point guards of all time

 

[addict4sneakers]

Add “running a team” to the list of phrases I wish would die

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Steve Nash in this era would be comical

 

[pmatic]

What are we talking about here?

 

[B Sox]

Add “running a team” to the list of phrases I wish would die

It shouldn’t be used now, but was definitely a thing in the past.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Basketball

 

[rolaholic]

100%, dude would be an even bigger force in todays game

zeke’s offensive numbers aren’t as great as they could be just because what he was asked to do

obviously we know Nash would be shooting 7-8 3s per if he played today

im curious what Stockton would look like today given he became a 40% 3 pt shooter after couple years in the league

 

[antidope]

PORQUE

 

[youngwolf]

Is Steph even the greatest Warriors PG?

Call me crazy, but they don’t lose that 2016 Finals with BD as their PG.

 

[tomdiginson]

100%, dude would be an even bigger force in todays game

It would be like "Steph who".


I through my corn. Let's see who's going to pick it up.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Nashty

We’ve talked about Stockton in here too. I think it’s pretty clear that he’d basically be Chris Paul. Others in here just think he’d be TJ McConnell though

 

[wavycrocket]

Agreed! Trae Young is also better. He “runs a team” better. He averages 10apg!!!!!!!

Put Trae Young on the Warriors...same result!

 

[pums]

Ya’ll gonna slander Luka if he comes up short against the Clippers?

 

[addict4sneakers]

Steve is my guy but he wouldn’t benefit anymore in this era if he continued to be reluctant to shoot.

 

[darthska]

wavycrocket , I don't keep track of who is a fan of what teams, but are you a Dubs fan? Asking for fans who take things personally.
