Steph Curry - Over-rated as unanimous MVP? (split)
- Thread starter Padrino
- Start date
well half of that is because of how he scores his points - he's a shooter and perimeter player - hes not banging or physically imposing himself which adds to the aura of those listed above. I have no problem with this in any case. He could be up there but time will tell, if he keeps winning championships then it will be hard to argue that he doesn't deserve a place at the table
Curry is the GOAT shooter of all time IMO. He solidified that this year.
He would need to 2-3 more years at this level to be included in the above player conversation. Longevity does matter and if he can only put up 2-3 years of peak numbers then he will not be in that conversation, if its 6+ then he will.
Im watching curry launch up ridiculous airballs and just plain trash during a game 7. I understand that he can make crazy shots but cmon!!! I never saw larry bird launch up the trash I'm watching curry throw up. In the end curry is gonna do
more damage to the game than he is good for it. Im already seeing young kids throwing up horrible shots so they can look like curry.
Im not being bitter. It's nerve wracking to watch someone run down the court and throw up what amounts to a hail mary. Sometimes it goes in, sometimes its an airball. Is this what the
game is destined to become, both teams running up and down launching 25 footers? Whoever makes more, wins.
Im watching OKC launch 3 after 3. They need a bucket in the worst way and its nothing but 3's. They can't make em and they're just falling further and further behind. It's the curry effect.

Hey, I don't like Kobe either.
I just used him as an example as a player who takes bad shots by common NBA standards, but it's a good shot for him because he can make it more than normal.
If you want a better example, how about DMC taking the ball up against 3 defenders in the paint. Bad shot by normal standards, but not for DMC.

Bring a lot of money. I'm with you. I think Kobe besmirched his reputation by being selfish. I didn't watch a lot of the games but he ignored his team mates and it seemed to me all he wanted to do was pile up points and if he launched outrageous shots, it made no difference to him as one out if 10 of those might go in and would be reflected in what I thought to be a race to catch Kareem.
I tell you what: I have never gone into a thread that was set up to be a love-fest for X, just to bash X. If you, or someone else on the board, wants to create a dedicated discussion topic in the #NBA forum to praise Stephen Curry and/or the Golden State Warriors, I give you my word as a United States Sailor that I will stay out of it.
That's the closest thing to "agreeing to disagree," or "picking another subject to set my heals n the ground about" that you can ever hope to expect from me.
