Didn't watch the game but saw the highlights. An amazing player to watch no doubt. Would love him on the Rockets of course. That said his swagger still really bugs me. It's just weird. To be fair I kinda of hate the cooking thing Harden does as well. I don't recall MJ, Shaquille, Kobe, Hakeem, Magic etc with that type of swagger. Excited about their play? Sure. In your face about it even? Yes. But less... childish seeming. Cirrus game speaks for itself. I'd rather be just talk a ton of **** on the court... But perhaps the game has changed for the younger generation and they prefer this silly stuff
Let me know when Curry can do what King James can on the basketball court in all phases of the game. Haven't even seen curry with a **** team and coach like LeBrons days in Cleveland.
No! Harden is the best...All Curry does is chuck 3's. Harden is the more complete player. Curry let's his teammates do all the dirty work. If it wasn't for all those illegal screens, he wouldn't get all those 3's! Refs just ignore it!
curry was a top 15 player under marc jackson, and all of a sudden he's the best player in the world lol... its steve kerr's coaching and his assistants making him look good meanwhile harden hasnt been coached up at all by mcfail, he makes him look good
Curry is a great player you need to give him his dues. But if anyone says he hasn't benefited greatly by having one of the best coaches and the best talented roster around him they are fools. There's a reason he doesn't get doubled often. Because you can't against GSW. Would LOVE to see Curry have to do what LeBron in Cleland did, Harden with is, KC when Westbrook was hurt, Wade in Miami and that's legitimate carry a team on his back.
NO, NO, NO, NO i will give steve kerr his due.. he is great coach was klay thompson scoring 37 in a quarter under marc jackson, what about draymon, was he getting triple double or some great defender under marc jackson.. gtfoh ITS, KERR, KERR, KERR, KERR, KERR lets see Harden with a coach the caliber of Kerr, before we end this debate between Curry and Harden... remmeber the Paul george vs. James Harden thread
Curry himself makes it hard to double him because he moves so well without the ball and the threat of his range forces teams to either choose to follow him 25 feet away from the rim or let him go. lebron/harden are only a threat when they have the ball in their hands. Curry is a threat by just standing there in the corner.
You're arguing against someone who isn't fishing you lol. I don't think Curry is better than Harden. They have entirely two different situations I don't think it's fair to judge them based on that. They both are talented players, some of the best in the NBA. My point is you can't say Kerr makes Curry. Curry's shot and skills are undeniable. However I do think he is helped greatly by the stalked team he plays on as well at Kerr's coaching.
I agree Kerr's system has put them over the top and gets the most out of their talent. But you can't take credit away from Curry. He is simply on another level.
Stephanie is a very good shooter, passer and lay upper. However, you have got to shut your mouth with any comparison to Michael Jordan or Hakeem Olajuwon.
lol, you know the guy has gotten into your head when there's two separate threads about him competing for top of the page. what I don't get is where's his ankle injuries??? they just vanished in a puff of smoke. wtf?
you are clearly just trying to find a reason to hate on him. give the guy credit already. he's been an amazing player and his game is beautiful....pre and post championship.
I think he is a very good shooter, passer and lay upper. I can tell you watching him chuck 3s is not exciting to watch. I can't stand how he looks- like a soft, 12 yr old boy and the dangling mouth guard is disgusting.
He's the best right now no doubt and i hat watching the damn warriors. I will say this though it's going to take a different approach to stop this guy u gotta rough him up never leave him force the other guys to beat you. Part of the reason he gets so open is because teams don't want to leave klay Barnes or green. If I'm any team playing them im letting draymond open all game and double curry. The only time I see curry struggle is when he gets trapped, he makes a lot of risky floater passed in those situation. I thought the rockets in the first quarter played him pretty good they just couldn't keep it up. Trap trap trap that's the onky way to stop this guy because his shot and handles are just too good right now. HIs floater is money at the moment too. I don't think he'll continue to play this good all season but I wouldn't be surprised if he puts up 28ppg with 7 assist this season and has a very good chance of repeating as mvp.
The Warriors should give a ring to David Kahn. Idiot wolves gm drafted Rubio and Johnny Flynn ahead of curry.
Difference between Curry and Harden is that Harden needs the refs to fall for his flops to get to the line whereas Curry does not need any help from the refs. He just takes care of it from the field. Besides that he may be one of the best shooters in NBA history, he is not just a shooter. Curry is very good at moving without the ball and is an elite ball handler. He is able to get spacing with or without the ball better than just about anybody in the league. Harden would be better served backing down defenders and taking more mid-range jumpers but Morey and his idiotic analytics has him chucking threes when he can't get his flop game going. Again, I am very pro-analytics in baseball because it is a discrete sport where every at bat is nicely segregated, but basketball is very rhythmic and you can't just apply simple math and expect it to be accurate. Anyone that has played basketball before knows that, if you are not hitting from deep, you should take a couple steps in and try to get a rhythm back in your shot. Gunning from three consistently until you are down by 20 is not a good strategy in my opinion no matter what any analytic says. Not that every team shouldn't be utilizing analytics to put together gameplans on tendencies and strategy, but common sense and basketball experience needs to also be applied. Curry is hot out of the gate so far this year, but my darkhorse candidate for MVP is Blake Griffin. He is really taking charge on offense this year and not relenting to CP3 as much as previous years. From an athleticism standpoint, there are not too many players in the league that can be as unstoppable as him and, with his mid-range jumper becoming more and more reliable, teams will find it very difficult to stop him unless they want to leave Redick wide open for a 3 or Deandre wide open for a dunk.
