What's your opinion on this NBA player?

Overrated Uncle Tom chucker
Most overrated player this generation
The best ever.
>>66231429
>Most overrated player this generation
but that's not a picture of lebron james
I'll follow him to death
>>66231517
LeBron has won multiple MVPs and multiple rings
Steph hasnt
>>66231348
>What's your opinion on this NBA player?
Shooting range is beyond belief, but overall not better than MJ
The Mayweather of Basketball. He literally solved the sport.
>>66231645
>Mayweather
Steph doesn't pick and choose his battles.
>>66231557
Shooting isn't even that important in basketball
Defense, assists, rebounding, are all much more important
>>66231553
so after this season Steph won't be overrated anymore?
>>66231803
Well, considering LeBron has been to 6 NBA finals (and on his way to a 7th), not to mention has made billions of dollars for Cleveland/Miami in merchandise sales
And Lebron is a much better businessman than Curry
Curry is still overrated
>>66231553
>ignoring the fact that the two teams played in the finals last year and lebeta was btfo
i mean if a finals matchup isn't a valid comparison I don't know what is
>>66231780
>Shooting isn't even that important in basketball
Warriors play no defense literally on track for the best record in NBA history.
>>66231834
>And Lebron is a much better businessman than Curry
I'm not even a warriors fan but my god, come back when you have a real argument. I'm not saying curry is about to rip off 5 straight championships, but I doubt theyll end up 2-4 in the finals like lebron.
>>66231348
sniper with unlimited range
>>66231856
except that is just wrong.
try actually watching their games next time you want to shitpost
>>66231842
Steph Curry has a ton of help. LeBron does not
And it still took 6 games for the Warriors to beat a Cleveland team that was mediocre.
>>66231856
Shooting doesn't matter in the modern NBA
>>66231725

>>66231881
What's Steph Curry's net worth?
What's LeBron's net worth?
>>66231348
his dick taste like shit
Why does everyone think that shooting is a valuable skill?
>>66231994
>>66231348
i bet that's the face he makes while he watches draymond breed ayesha after every home win. just add some sweat trickling down that pasty forehead.
>>66232061
Ok, what's so important about shooting?
That's literally only one skill
How about defending? Rebounding? Assisting?
>>66231348
I hope he'll keep making /sp/ butthurt for a decade
Why do black people and whiggers hate this guy so much?
>>66232217
>defending
if the other team cant hit a 3 every time they go down the court, then the warriors will always be ahead
>rebounding
offensive rebounds dont exist if he doesnt miss, defensive rebounds he doesnt need to do because if the other team is missing obviously the warriors will get the ball eventually and the other team wont be making enough points to keep up since they cant shoot, hence why they keep missing and rebounds are available
>assists
what is most 3 pointers in a game, most 3 pointers in a season, clutch game winning 3s. why does anyone else need to shoot?
>>66232217
how about shooting is how you score points and is a legit skill in this league? how about the fact that the league recognizes the best defenders and gauges them to see which one gets a defensive player of the year award? how about the fact that forwards and centers are expected to bang for boards? so what the fuck are you even talking about bro lel?
>mfw at the point you're trying to make
>>66232217
>defending
7th in steals, 1.33 net DRPM which is a positive
>rebounding
3rd among point guards in the league in rebounding
>assists
9th in the league in assists. He could get more. He averaged like 9 per game a few seasons ago. But most of the time it's better for him to shoot than pass.
>>66231348
Specialist oreo manlet that appeals strongly to young white manlets who hope that they could be thought of as a good player, too, if they had just one strong skill.
Kids who haven't watched much basketball think of him as a GOAT when really he'll be lucky to be thought of as an NBA top 100 player all time.
You have to be retarded or never watch a warriors game to know they do much much more than just shoot well. They have great defense and play team basketball. The warriors lead the league in assists and their coach knows how to exploit mismatches and develop players.
GOAT
>>66231348
Probably one of the best white players ever, with Larry Bird
a product of the system he plays in.
look at lebron (who i dislike) or kobe, those guys were touted as future superstars ever before they came to the nba and delivered...steph came in with flaws and sure, he worked hard to be where he's at now...but he wasn't raw/naturally talented, the system run by gsw fostered his development and now he's winning, but it won't last long.
>>66231362
ha first post is exactly what my first thought was too before i decided to elaborate on it.
>>66231553
One of those 2 rings lehoe has came from a lockout season and the other Ray Allen saved them with a travel 3 in gm6 after lebum missed his 3.. Lebald is the most overrated thing that hit the NBA since Iverson
>>66231553
fun fact: he'll have the same # of rings and finals mvps as LeBitch at the end of this year
>>66237273
>finals mvps
Needs at least an extra year for that m8
Give him the Nobel prize for solving basketball
>>66237027
No he is not you faggot.
He is the "offensive system." Under the era of Mark Jackson, There was no semblance of an offensive system at all. It was just random post ups and muh iso ball, yet curry was still balling out. He was averaging 24 ppg and 8,5 assist while maintaining a true field goal percentage of over 60% (61% just in case you were wondering)
Both Klay Thompson and Draymond Green both benefit greatly from playing with curry more than curry benefits from playing with them. Klay is an off ball scorer that can't really create for himself so having curry is an absolute necessity for him to roam around on catch and shoots without feeling the defensive load. Similarly,Draymond green benefits greatly from having curry as his pick and roll partner. Otherwise scoring would be a bitch for him, since he is undersized and an average athlete.
Very cute
>>66231881
>I'm not saying curry is about to rip off 5 straight championships
I am
Nobody can stop him
>>66237722
>this much butthurt
dude is 28, you're seeing him at his absolute best right now...all your stats are from like 2-3 years ago tops. he's nowhere near lebron or kobe in terms of peak prime longevity nor natural skill set.
don't get too upset when the gsw lose in the playoffs because they wasted all of their energy just to break a regular season record.
>>66237027
>steph isn't naturally talented
Why is every Curry hater a complete fucking moron?
>>66237027
Wow, you're dumb as fuck. LeBron didn't deliver shit. Curry lead the nation in scoring in college, literally only casual shit tier plebs like you didn't know anything about him coming in. You are garbage and a faggot.
>>66238122
>he's nowhere near lebron or kobe in terms of peak prime longevity nor natural skill set.
And yet he's better than both
Fucking crazy huh? It's like you're a fucking faggot or something lmao
>>66231348
Uncle Tom bitch ass chucking House Nigga dancing when his masta tells him too.
I hope he breaks his ankles or gets injured.
>>66238122
> peak prime longevity
OP continues his rampage of faggotry. How is his game catered not to last for a long period of time? His game isn't predominated by explosiveness and body contact. He plays a game of finesse that relies on both off ball scoring and crafty floaters near the rim.
>natural skill set
He has a jumpshot that is in the op 1% of the league. That seem's to be a pretty dominant "natural" skillset
GOAT
>>66238545
He can't do anything besides chuck the ball. He doesn't make plays happen, he sucks at defense, and he can't drive.
>goat
He is literally just a chucker. If he broke his legs tomorrow that'd be great.
>>66238626
>make plays happen
9th in assists, GS is overall the top assist team in the league by far

A dingo ate my baby-the post.
>>66238965
For him to be leading the NBA in scoring and still be top 10 in Ast is impressive, Curry could have more Ast if he wanted but he isn't a PG that dribbles the air out the ball like CP3 or Rondo, he actually plays off the ball more often than not, 7th in Stl isn't nothin to sneeze at either for a guy that "doesn't play D"
>>66239012
>Curry would have more assists if he wanted
Crazy how anons on the internet know just what professional athletes are thinking
>>66239056
It's common sense, also Curry sat out 19 4th quarters this season, his stats all across the board should be HIGHER than what they are now
So close
>>66232217
dude how else do you put up a decent amount of points if ur under 6'7
>>66232217
You make a three every possession and don't foul their threes and worst case scenario you tie
>>66238150
The year curry carried Davidson was something magical
Why is Curry considered a good player?
>>66231834
How does merch sales make him a good player you cuck?
>>66252100
It means that he's been popular for much longer, which is an attestment to how good of a player he is
>>66251870
Extremely efficient shooting
No one is able to guard him
Great speed
Decent defence
High basketball IQ
>>66252681
>high (insert sport here) IQ
Greatest 2 seasons in NBA history. He'll have to perform at this level of greatness for 5 more seasons to officially be named the GOAT over Jordan though.
>>66236809
This is 100% accurate
>/sp/ trying to be contrarian as always
Nothing to see here.
>>66231362
Practice Baby
>>66239090
yeah so he doesn't get injured or strained you retard. Nobody in the NBA can play all four quarters every game.
>>66256182
Thing is though, Curry is going up against actual competition. Jordan needed Pippin and other greats to help him. Everyone else were literal who's?
>>66256633
>current NBA
>actual competition.
>>66252681
Curry is a baller on offense, but I donl;t get why people don't talk about the fact that his defense is absolute shit. He gambles and gets the occasional steal to throw the simpletons off, but the only reason he;s allowed to have the success he has is because of Klay Thompson. KT always guards the star guard/SF and takes all the pressure off Curry so he can do his thing on offense.
>>66256182
Have you heard of an aspect called defense? Curry can hit all the threes he wants, but he'll never be in the GOAT conversation because he doesn't play even average defense. Fucking young ass idiots like you don't get that. Inb4 "but, but, muh meme-ball!"
It's why Bron, who I hate, is still the best in the league by a mile.
>>66256633
>score 60 in a playoff game against Bird

>beat Stockton & Malone multiple times
>not GOAT
The thing I find funny is that all six of their losses came against teams that should have gotten blown out but instead blew the warriors out. Only one of their losses was by less than ten points, and only two were by less than 15
>>66256728
But LeBron hasn't played defense since he was in Miami. Even his last year there he was starting to do visual defense more often than not.
>>66256728
this
the only player people put in the top 5 for offense alone is Wilt and even then they didn't record defensive stats back then. Bird had 7000+ defensive rebounds, 1500+ steals and over 700 blocks and 3 selections to the all-defensive team. Kareem and Jordan should be patently obvious
>>66256733
>>66256733
>>score 60 in a playoff game against Bird
Bird was regressing by that point.
>>beat Bad Boys
The bad boys wrangled Jordan plenty of times in the 80s which was when they were at their peak.
>>beat Magic
The showtime Lakers were done by the time Jordan reached his peak.
>>Beat Drexler
Yes a team of Drexler and literal who's are hard to beat. Let's not forget the injuries.
>>beat Barkley
Also in a team of literal who's. Though he almost had him that one time.
>>best Ewing, Shaq & Penny, Reggie multiple times
New York is a joke Ewing or not. Shaq was busy with other things like movies and music so he wasn't really serious.
Point is Jordan was in right place at the right time situation where all the greats where slowing down.
>>66256866
>who is Magic Johnson
>>66256876
>Bird was regressing by that point.
Didn't they win their 3rd ring that year?
DUDE THREES LMAO
He's a shrimp system kiddo that would avg 10/5/5 on an legitimate nba team
>>66231348
So is Curry an Uncle Tom?
>>66238122
>break a regular season record.
Does anyone else think this is better than the finals?
someone wins a championship every year, 73+ wins may never be broken
>>66231780
>Shooting isn't even that important in basketball.
Oh, for sure. It's not that important in rifle shooting competitions, either.
Having a Dan marino type year stat wise. He will never ever for the rest of his career come close to touching any of the production he's having this year again. Literally carried by a good team that could win 60+ games and a final without him.
>>66256986
>legitimate nba team
what does that even mean?
>>66258930
>He will never ever for the rest of his career come close to touching any of the production he's having this year again.
That's what they said about Gretzky, too.
He is the best point guard of all time. The amount of defensive attention paid to him is astronomical. Curry's stroke + the overall shooting prowess of the team gives them unbelievable spacing to work with. You can see it when teams try to trap Curry at the top of the key and it automatically creates a 4 on 5 and leaves a wide open shooter in the corner. They did this to Cleveland over and over and over again in the Finals.
They are incredibly fun to watch.
>>66258870
I think the record is better than a championship. I never thought anyone would beat the bulls record and yet here we are. Those motherfuckers are 18-0 against the rest of the leagues elite
>>66258870
>>66259005
Something something 2007 Patriots something.
>>66231348
HD could be the 2nd best player of all time
>>66236809
Never go full retard, kids. He'll go down as no 2 all time
>>66231896
Irving, love, and Smith aren't a ton of help. Right. What's next? You gonna tell me Wade, bosh, and Allen weren't any help too?
Gtfo, lebron always has great teams around him and yet seems to always fail. He's a baby.
>>66231429
how is he overrated? dude knocks down shots better than ray allen and reggie miller
people are so jelly its hilarious but sad at the same time
>>66256600
cant tell if troll or just dumb
>implying if curry played all those 4th quarters it would equal to all four quarters of the game
Uncle tom babby chucker, killing the enjoyment of the sport desu. Fuck him
the best shooter of all time, and he also triggers nerds who don't like skill
He hits dem 3's all day like 2k
The degree to which he triggers basketball "purists" warms my heart. He made basketball great again.
Leo Messi, Wayne Gretzky, Steph Curry.
You want to know why he is having the best season of all time?
Because whenever someone even attempts to criticize his game, or call him underskilled/overrated, they sound like the most fucking delusional 12 yr Olds to ever grace the planet. You can literally see the saltiness in the text they write. They are so assblasted that this guy is doing unheard of levels of shit and their idea of the world is being broken.
Someone made a good point on mike and Mike the other day, this is one of the first seasons where the MVP debate is so far from question that any voter not voting Curry as MVP is going to look like a assblasted homer. Unanimous MVP selection.
He is the 2nd big explosion for the NBA.
He brings a skillset that makes the whole world watch and believe they too can ball with much practice. This mother fucker will be one NBA's mount rushmore.

Kill yourself my man
Great shooter that's about it. He's like Mj in the fact that basketball is the only thing he is good at. Can't really compare him to someone like LeBron who is an incredible athlete. And for the retards just being good at one sport doesn't make you a great athlete. You could take LeBron and put him in another sport and because of his natural athletic ability + godly body and he would do well.
>>66273898
what a retard lebron is just usual jock , mj is once in lifetime
He solved basketball.
>>66273930
Mj was incredible at basketball player need I remind you of his baseball career?
>>66273972
>athlete
>baseball
A very good, revolutionary player having one of the best individual season in history.
The best shooter ever.
>>66273996
Proved my point if Mj was such an incredible athlete why couldn't he master something as simple as baseball? Like seriously I dont know how else to spell it out for you. It's okay if you need to think about it again I'm sure it will click at somepoint
>>66274038
Would LeBron be a good baseball player?
>>66274038
i can't keep up with your extra chomosome
>>66274064
LeBron would probably be good at any sport because he is a great athlete. Bo Jackson great example of a great athlete.

It's alright you just finally realized your stupidity because you don't want to see any short comings in your most recent favorite player

when it comes to the game of BASKETBALL, Curry > Lebron
>>66274115
I never said LeBron was better at basketball than Steph did you not read the posts? I merely stated he was a better athlete. Steph is obviously a better shooter no question about it.

Shooting is irrelevant in the modern NBA
