Has he solved basketball?
>>
Yes, this is the logical conclusion to basketball

When Curry retires, the NBA will fold, as will leagues and federations world wide including FIBA
Basketball will be dropped from the Olympics as well
>>
No, he's ruined it.
>muh 3s!
NBA will be dissolved within 15 years because the new generation of players will try to emulate fags like him and the only players who will even step foot inside the 3 point line will be a "designated rebounders". This will cause ratings and revenue to plummet.

Not a meme. I'm the Socrates of /sp/. This babyfaced fag is the the final nail in the coffin of the NBA. Screencap this.

>>65742776

solving a game means finding the utmost optimal strategy, or a strategy that will guarantee to achieve their goal. Chess isn't a solved game (yet) while I think draughts is.
>>
>>65743354

I don't think a sport can be solved, as it doesn't take place in a vacuum like chess or cards

too many external factors and luck involved
>>
>>65743256
>Socrates of fucking /sp/ here guys, watch the fuck out
You're so wrong. If you think that all the people in the world, especially players in the nba, haven't been chucking up threes and spending ALL day in the gym just for threes since before Steph curry came along, then you've only been watching for 2 years and don't know shit.

Nah. That's like saying that Kareem solved basketball because the NCAA outlawed dunks due to him.

Well you have to score more points than the opponent to win the game, and he just got gud at the best way to do that

he plays the game how it was intended to be played and his style is obviously more efficient than everyone else's...the delusion amongst curry haters is strong

>as if Steph Curry is the first guy to ever shoot a 3 point shot or win a ring

Some facts for the millennials... Steve Kerr was a better career 3 point shooter than Steph Curry, and Steve Kerr has 5 rings
>>
>>65742749

Totally, he especially looked like he solved it the other night against Lillard
>>
>>65746107
The 3pt line was shortened for three years of his career.

Steve Kerr, pre-shortened line:
>44.5% on 1.3 attempts per game

Steve Kerr, with shortened line:
>50% on 2.6 attempts per game

Steve Kerr, post-shortened line
>41% on 1.6 attempts per game

Steph Curry, entire career
>44.3% on 7 attempts per game

Steve Kerr made 405 threes in his career with a normal 3pt line. If Curry played an 82 game season with his current production, he would make 402 in that season alone.
>>
>>65744831
This 2bh I'm amazed at how much buttburt he generates

Let's take a moment to look at Wardell Stephen Currys career so far. Truly he has accomolished so much in such little time

1. Pass up a game winning shot in March madness
2. Lost the rookie of the year to Tyreke Evans
3. Have ankles made of glass
4. Get said ankles literally broken with a weak crossover
5. Palm the ball with every dribble move
6. Literally can not guard scoring point guards
7. Get locked down in the finals by an undrafted Aussie bench warmer
8. Give up 20 points to an undrafted Aussie bench warmer in the finals
9. Airball a game winning shot in the finals
10. Lose Finals MVP to a bench roleplayer
11. Publicly comment on how people want to fuck his mom
12. Has wife tell Twitter how she will only have sex with him if he performs well in the court
13. Miss your first 8 shots in your first all star game
14. Can not dunk
15. Can not outrun Draymond Green
16. Is not a better playmaker than Draymond Green
17. Is currently being carried to the playoffs by Draymond Green

Once in a lifetime
>>
>>65744839
He did solve it, it's just that no one has been able to emulate the hook shot to the same perfection that he did.
>>
>>65746034
This one has a Cameroonese mother, but his father is Greek. His nickname was baby Shaq, but at one point he became so fat people started to say Shaq was in fact baby Schortsanitis.

He's got some talent (he annihilated the US frontcourt in 2006, the only US defeat with Krzyzewsky as a coach), but he's mentally unstable.

They have the Antetokounmpo too, but those are just illegal immigrants who got a Greek passport when they discovered they were good at basketball.

Wanna fix NBA?
Easy.
You take all the fucking refs, round them up real nice. Bring out assault rifles and kill each and everyone of those fucking game-fixing corrupt cunts.

That's how you fix NBA.
>>
>>65746212
this isn't even half as good as the Kobe/LeBron ones

3/10, apply yourself
>>
>>65750199
NBA refs aren't the problem, if they were, they'd be replaced with competent ones. The problem is the game of basketball has dozens of rules and fouls based around very little contact where it becomes a judgement call. When you have 10 guys sprinting around the court there's bound to be bad calls/missed calls.

Why are travels allowed in the NBA? You see players take multiple steps after receiving the ball.

he can. stats say this team is the GOAT team,
>>
>>65743951
A sport can be solved. Like baseball. You take steroids and hit the ball out if the park.
Basketball you drain 3s to the point where the other team has no choice but to drain 3s as well or else they get to a point where they can't recover given the game's pace and shot clock timer.
Soccer isn't solved.
Football is in the process of being solved. It's probably going to be using tight ends to make 5-10 yard dump passes over the linemen that the linebackers aren't going to be fast enough to react to and they won't have help because the receivers spread out the secondary with their routes.

When you pick up the ball you can make upto 4 steps


And if you have been MVP multiple times, you can make upto 7

Yeah, that's why every team plays 4-4-2 and 4-2-3-1 these days, because divegrass is totally not solved.

>>65750842
Soccer has metagame and a gap on early doping for players is creating better athletes. It is not solved. Even tiki-taka got BTFO quite a few times in history.

I fucking hate Stephen Curry. The last two years were supposed to be all about Lebron coming back to Cleveland and getting one for The Land. Cleveland is supposed to be the most relevant team in the NBA and this faggot stole our spotlight.

No he's a fad, the hip new thing that people like. People will forget about him and his meme 3s once they lose and fail to make the finals. Then everyone will jump right back to shitting on Lebron and Leaveland.

Explain to me why 3-pointers are a bad thing

They are objectively the scoring play which requires the most skill to score

but you see, he doesn't throw the ball in the hoop in the way that many people prefer

>>65750517
basically, the rules are:

- if it's a dunk, it's not a travel
- if it's a star, it's not a travel

You gotta feed the highlights videos, you see. And star have to deliver highlights, and you can't make them look like stupid by calling for travels.
>>
Moving forward, the NBA should make shots behind half court line be 4 or 5 points.

>>65749545
Even if 3 pointers were worth 2.5 now, he would still be the top and most efficient scorer this season.
