How do people find him chucking up 3's entertaining? LeBron, Kobe, and MJ weren't prolific chuckers like Curry is.
How does anyone enjoy that shit?
>>63979779
bored of slashers running towards the basket, barging into the nearest defender, and tossing the ball in the general direction of the basket to get free throws
>>63979817
How is that worse than chucking a bunch of 3s?
>>63979817
/r/ing the Harden free-throws gif in the mix of actually great nba players and plays.
I am more interested than ever in basketball because of how fucking furious this guy is making some of the autists on this board.
>>63979779
Yeah it was a lot more fun watching jordan drive to the basket and getting free throws for somone breathing on him.
>>63979885
Chucking 3s and actually hitting them involves skill.
Driving the basket looking for a foul does not.
>>63979779
Is it just me, or does the NBA, and their fans, only seem to care about what's 'entertaining' or flashy? Do you guys even appreciate technical skills, or is it all dunks and 'rejection!' to you guys?
I'd much rather watch Curry get hot and hit 3 after 3 than Lecrab play running back in the lane and cry for calls on every play
Ray allen extended his career so long just to get the threes record and stephs gonna btfo only a few years later lmao
>>63980196
Dude, I can hit a bunch of 3s, it's not that hard. It's literally the same as shooting a free throw. All you need is a bunch of practice.
You know whats fucking annoying now - little fucking kids are chucking 3's all over the place and passing like they're Steph Curry. Why can't they work to be a good player like LeBron or Westbrook?
Chucking 3's is some pussy shit for players that are afraid of getting hurt. It's the softest form of basketball ever
>>63980242
fuck ray allen imma kill that nigga

god i fucking hate that. traveling, flopping, and whining for the foul every. fucking. possession.
>mfw
>Kobe wasn't a chucker
I guess you're right about him not being prolific though
80s: Bird and Magic
90's: Jordan
2000's: Shaq then Kobe (with a brief cameo by Vince Carter)
2010-2014: Lebron
2015: Stephen Curry
Which one of these is not like the other?
>>63979779
learn what chucking means before posting you fucking casual
>>63981089
Magic has got that sheen disease?
>>63979779
LeBron and kobe are the definitive chucketd bruh
>>63979779
>muh dunks
Fuck off
>enjoying basketball, ever
Literally the most uninteresting sport of all time, I'm glad this guy is "ruining" it.
>XD RUN AND DUNK
>XD TURN AROUND AND LET THE OTHER TEAM RUN AND DUNK
>XD RUN AND DUNK
Repeat until *gasp* someone DOESN'T MANAGE TO GET THE DUNK
OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
then start again.
Shit sport.
>>63980174
I think you mean lebron. Jordan actually got hit
Has there ever been a mulatto athlete as GOAT as him?
>>63979779
>>63979817
Both of these are the cancer of basketball. Getting rid of hand checking ruined the game. The 96 Bulls would have gone 82-0 if hand checking didn't exist when they played.
>>63980276
>I can hit a bunch of 3s
if its that easy why arnt you playing professionally?

ice hockey is objectively worse

Ice hockey is an anti-sport, but it still involves more skill than basketball.

>3 points is worth more than 2 points
>goal of the game is to have more points than the other team
>player who goes for more valuable shots is 'ruining the sport'
Am I being baited here?
>>63981311
Fuck you. Playing hockey is more difficult than any other sport. All the skills and technical difficulty of other sports, but om fucking ice, and somebody can just deck you in the face
>>63981570
That guy just wants to see shoe models building their egos, not an actual sport with scores and leagues and so on.

Sorry my expert NBA analyst friend who somehow doesn't have a job in sports
>>63979779
How do retards like you find trucking to the basket and getting fouled and taking two foul shots entertaining?
Thank god Steph is saving the shitty sport.
>>63981624

How about you search for "Lionel Messi best goals" on YouTube and rethink the "all the skills and technical difficulty of other sports" part ?
>>63982961
Messi sucks dude fuck that manlet
btw I'm Lebron
>>63982961
Call me when Messi does that shit while skating on ice and controlling the ball with a sick instead of his foot, faggot

>>63980276
I don't really get basketball, but isn't it nice to see someone win with a skill they have meticulously developed rather than being born 6'8 with a freakish jump. anyone could work hard to get good at long throws but not everyone is an athletic 6'8

Ahahahahhahahahahahahhaahahh
People that make long shots, regularly, are just as exciting as MUH APEHOOP GORILLA DUNKAN SLAMMA JAMMA, this isn't the 70s, it isn't even the VC late 90s. Dunking stopped being zomg the kewlest years ago bruh. I'll take a JJ Redick or Kyle Korver any day over Blake Griffin, muh athleticism... 3 will always > 2.
THAT being said, I saw a clip on LeBatard the other day of a bunch of high school nogs in some game just chucking up ridiculous, off balanced trey after trey and that was the whole point of the segment and point Dan & Bojangles were trying to make... it isn't having a great impact on the game because Curry types are few and far between, we probably haven't seen a pure shooter like him since Reggie Miller and now all the young nigs wanna be them instead of VC.
>>63981089
>vince carter

>>63980276
You are right. Basketball shouldn't be about practice or learning how to be good. It should be about being born as the takkest, fastest, and strongest nigger who gets the luckiest breaks when it comes comes to fouls.
>>63983925
Dark skins is out here too with Draymond Green playing all 5 positions and hitting threes, I just like that niggas is making it
>>63981450
then he won't be hitting threes over anyone
>>63984235
DAS RITE
do people not know what a chucker is?
or is this another forced meme by /sp/ out of frustration?
>>63982961
I occasionally watch soccer... But, Ok. I'm already closer to messis level than you are to, say, sidney crosbys level on account of me already possesion the skill to run on ground and kick a ball. Let me know when you can skate and control a puck with your head up... Which takes some people YEARS.
>autism containment thread No. 2475.6543d15
Curry is actually curing the NBA from cancer fuck all those nigs who cant shoot or pass and just clog the ball and drive inside hoping to get a faul. That is not basketball. If LeBeta spent a little more time practicing his shooting he would have been better than Jordan instead of being the choke master.
>>63979779
1. I don't know when "chuck" and being a "chucker" went from throwing bricks to making baskets, but I guess I'm old.
2. No player has ruined a sport more than the Stern/Jordan "Make A Single Player Bigger Than The Game" shit. Aside from being an awful person, Jordan ruined an entire sport (along with Stern, but this is about athletes, not suits.

what does a Kiwi know about hockey - don't you ladies play "field hockey"? kek
>>63987384
How did he ruin it? Yes the refs favorited Jordan but they did the same with Kobe, Shaq and Lebeta too. Plus it happens in every sport not just basketball, refs will always fav the best players at the moment.
>>63981089
>2000's: Shaq
And here I was thinking, "I'm not going to laugh today".
Shaq was a joke.
He's the Emmanuel Yarborough of basketball.
>>63987233
why?
>>63981257
>>63981257
>Jordan actually got hit
WHAT?! Oh -- sorry, I thought you meant he got hit while beating the shit out of his teammates in the lockerroom.
I'd read that no one could touch him when he'd do that because he was "the franchise".
Now I see you meant on his drives.
Carry on.
>>63987442
It used to be a team sport.
Sit back and watch some pre-Jordan games.
Pre-Jordan: focus was teamwork
Jordan-Stern: focus on flash and bullshit, allowing for the Iversons and various thugs, including LeBrick (who isn't a thug, I admit).
>>63981089

Ray Allen was always better than Reggie he just always played on shit teams until he was an old man.
>>63981089
Can the Lebron meme end now please?
I can't wait for him to retire and drift off into irrelevance.
Guy who doesnt watch basketball here
What the fuck is "chucking 3s" and why is it bad

muh dunks
muh gettin fouled

Bird is white
Because he makes them you retard

I also love how he implies that Kobe isn't a chucker. weak bait.
