Jordan, Whiteside and Eaton are historically great at multiple aspects of basketball? Which of them do you predict to make the HOF?
Guys, go easy on the OP. Football season is over and he is just getting into the NBA and found out Curry is the best. Take it easy, noobs start threads all the time on this website, what's one more?
He is the best because he is effortless in destroying a defensive game plan. Can't even hate their team because this is beautiful basketball.
Charles Barkley Doesn’t Think Steph Curry Is a Great Playmaker: “He’s Just a Great Shooter” http://www.complex.com/sports/2016/02/charles-barkley-doesnt-think-steph-curry-great-playmaker
Maybe, but the end result is that Curry's great shooting creates WIDE OPEN shots for his teammates. The end result is the same if not better than if Curry were replaced by a "great playmaker". Literally every single screen at the three point line he's getting hard doubled while Speights/Dray/Bogut (screeners) are wide open free throw line extended.
I get what Barkley's saying. Playmaking wise there are guys still better than him: Wall, Chris Paul, Westbrook maybe. Still, he's wrong about a lot of stuff in that interview.
Barkley just detests Golden State and Curry. It's pretty obvious...he's like any fan who hated Kobe or hated Jordan and said "All they can do is dunk"...it's dumb, not necessarily because he's dumb, but because he's biased and that causes him to say dumb things. Curry's a fantastic play-maker. He's not the greatest play-maker in history, the way he's the greatest shooter in history, but he blends the best shooting ever with fantastic handles, vision and passing. Whether he or someone like Chris Paul is a better play-maker is splitting hairs and also hard to completely separate from their scoring prowess...certainly a lot of what Curry can do is benefited by his gravity, how much attention he draws. It's not like Barkley really supported his positions. He basically just repeated his initial claims and then claimed most fans don't see Curry as unstoppable which seems pretty unhinged from reality, considering the sheer adulation he gets. Even on this forum, people are constantly talking about how he's unfair, using cheat codes, etc.
