Honestly this. Although when we look back and retell how great he was, we'll over exaggerate, but it's amazing to see a legend play.

Curry is great, but you can't compare him to Kobe yet. Kobe was too good, for too long.

You can't even compare Curry to Lebron yet.

I'm not arguing that Jordan changed the game britbong

Curry just made it worse, show me how his "changes" are positive

Curry is probably going to get the 3 point line moved back, so that makes him a legend.

He's not the GOAT, though. Get back to me when he has an unblockable shot.

The Currys in general are good shooters. Hell, his brother deserves waay more minutes in SAC. He's shooting like 70% from deep.
>>
>>63929322
Curry isn't even a truly elite guard, because he doesn't play defense. No one-way player will ever be the GOAT.
>>
>>63929238
lole warriors are arguably deepest team in the league. you dont win rings alone breh
>>
>>63929294
moving the 3 point line back would benefit him
>>
>>63929365
he does play defense though...he's literally top 3 in terms of point guard defense

Changing the rules around Wilt actually benefited Wilt, but it fucked over everyone else. Same thing. Rule changes never really hurt the ones they're changed in response to.

even if the nba moves the line back, he still already shoots with enormous distance.

He's the GOAT of the 2010s. Kobr and Lebron shared GOAT of the 2000s. Jordan was GOAT of the 1990s.

I think in terms of how he changed the game Curry's only GOAT competition is Jordan. If he wins the title this year he's undeniably the GOAT of all time.

can someone give me a quick redpill on why this nigga is good?

dont follow basketball but is he a good shooter or what

i only follow handegg and divegrass, can someone explain why they'd move the apehoop 3pt line back?
>>
>>63933668

He's one of the best ever outside shooters and drains 3s and long 2s with unprecedented accuracy

the golden state offense is sometimes just him dribbling to the 3 line and letting it fly.

Its pretty cool watching a legend develop into a legend, you know? When I started watching basketball, Kobe and Dirk were already established. LeBron was pretty much always going to be a legend and was from the start. Curry was a shit michael redd-tier chucker for like 4 seasons before he actually came good and its interesting to watch

>13. Tyler Hansborough

Its always fun looking at old draft picks

>>63933744

Does anyone else think it's a little strange that he just all of the sudden became so much better than everyone else in the league?

did Iggy and Draymond really make him that much better?
>>
>>63933768
Marc Jackson was holding him back
>>
No question about it
>>
>>63933768
This isn't even his final form.
>>
>>63933768
>all of a sudden

You could see the talent from the beginning. He just had injuries in his starting and a not so good team. Remember he dropped 55 at msg and almost beat the Spurs in the playoffs few years ago.
>>
>>63933768
No coach would have let him have those crazy 3point shot.
His shot selection is terrible but curry is nailing them like layup. Every other coach would have benched him if he took those kind of shots.
>>
>>63928375
>plays no defense
>never averaged over 25ppg until this season even though he's been in the league for like 7 years
Not even top 40 ever. We shall see how the rest of his career goes.
>>
>>63929154
Jordan was a career 50% shooter while scoring 30 ppg his entire career. Jordan wasn't a chucker. Don't confuse him with Kobe, who is basically a poor knock off of Jordan.

Maybe at 3 pointers, sure. Not at basketball.

Does he play defense?
Is a good rebounder?
Does he have many assists?

He sucked it up in the finals last year and shouldn't have even been MVP last year.

Considering everybody in the NBA wants to be Jordan I'd say Kobe did a pretty fine job.

Aside from his based 3s, what is he doing differently? How is he changing the sport?
>>
>>63934394
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyu7Nz8ERzM

he's the greatest shooter of all time. surreal talent. clutch as fuck.
>>
>>63934503
He's breaking the game. He's essentially unguardable. I don't think you can call it changing the game because how can you reproduce greatness? Nobody can do what he does. Listen to the crowds at away games, he's the most popular and exciting player in the league.

You could argue He's changing the game because he's showing people who have been subjected to LeBron James boring and uninspired game for ten plus years what excitement is again.
>>
>>63934530
He's bretty small though, why doesn't he get hacked and slashed more?
>>
>>63928375

Definitely the best player of this decade. He's perfectly suited to take advantage of all the NBA's rule changes over the last decade or so, just like Jordan was back in the 90s.
>>
>>63934561
because he's a career 90% free throw shooter and he dribbles like the ball is on a string. people can't stay on him to foul him.
>>
>>63934561
>why doesn't he get hacked and slashed more?

Because if defenders hack him, the ref will call a foul, and Curry is a 90% FT shooter. You might as well just let him take the shot.
>>
>>63934591

I gotta watch more of this guy, I guess.

Fuck off curryfag
>>
>>63934617
>What players from the 90s till today are similar to his style?

I guess Steve Nash on the Suns is close, but Curry is better than him in every way basically. I see a lot of Allen Iverson in him, too.
>>
I think Draymond is the best player on the Warriors. Curry is the best offensive player in the NBA and below average on defense. Draymond is the best defender in the NBA and well above average on offense. It's pretty clear who the real GOAT is.
>>
>>63934660

First person that came to mind was Steve Nash but I didn't want to embarrass myself
>>
>>63934637
>not the best shooter of all time
Objectively wrong, he will beat all the 3 point records at the end of his carreer.
>not the best PG of all time
True.
>not even the best player in his team's history
Wrong.
>>
>>63934697
Is Curry better than Wilt Chamberlain?
>>
>>63934617
Nobody. People have said Steve Nash is a good place to start but curry handles better, is an even better shooter and is way more accurate. Nash never shot off the dribble the way Curry does. Nash was a better passer tho. Not to say Curry isn't a great passer Nash is just top 3 all time
>>
GOATs change the game.

Curry has done that.
>>
>>63934740
>Nash is just top 3 all time

Stockton, Nash and which other white guy?
>>
>>63934779
Mark Price is better than both
>>
>>63934733
Neither are better than Draymond
>>
Curry rules when?

>>63934779

jason kidd
>>
>>63929294
>set pick
>chuck ball in under half a second
curry is unblockable most of the time. Also movinf the 3 point line back won't do anything, he can shoot well beyond it if he wants. All that would do is make is harder for regular players, thus giving curry a monopoly on 3's and making the warriors even stronger
>>
>>63934671
>Draymond is the best player on the Warriors
>>
>Bill Russell: like 15 rings
>Steven Curry: 1*

I object to your claim, original poster

Not just 2 top 10 picks. They literally picked 2 point guards with consecutive draft picks over Curry

CHUCKMAN, CHUCKMAN, CHUCKMAN, THEM BOYS UP TO SOMETHIN
>>
>>63928675
Jordan
Kareem
Magic
Wilt
Bill Russel
Olajuwon
Bird
Duncan
Shaq
Lebron

Top ten in no particular order

Kobe is fighting with Oscar Robertson for like 11

i'd put kobe behind jordan and ahead of lebron at this point

It's pretty hard to block a guy standing 30 feet away.

Curry was permadead for so long. He started balling once he was fully healthy.

And to say that this GS is team stacked is bs.
