    It's hard to believe how quickly he can get that three-point shot off.

    OMG HE'S SO MUCH BETTER THAN HARDEN *knee jerk*

    Seriously though, Curry is money, best pure shooter in the game today.

    Curry is the second best three point shooter in NBA history (by percentage) - only Steve Kerr is better than him.

    I think it's fair to say that Curry >>>> Kerr as a shooter, since Curry creates a lot of his own off the dribble, and throws up some heaves too.

    I can't believe he got credited with assists on some of those plays

    Last shot of the game.

    Give me Ray Allen

    Then give me Ray Allen.

    Then give me Ray Allen.

    I'm sure Curry shoots at a higher % in the game, but Ray Ray is pretty much impossible to guard clutch as ****.

    Warriors are dangerous, they have shooters that can actually shoot. Not saying Curry is better, but I would take him over Harden any day.

    This season I'd rather have Joe Johnson.

    That's not the point though.
    Curry is great but put him in a four to seven game series and they won't be very successful in the playoffs.

    If Harden has his head in the game consistently he's the better player.

    Curry this year >>>>>> Harden this year though.

    Curry is so much fun to watch. I'm surprised to find out that he's no where near the top in 3FG% ("only" 40.9%). He's 45%FG, and 86%FT.

    Yeah Allen is clutch but most times someone will have to leave his man for him to get his shot off.

    I believe Curry is the the greatest 3 point shooter in NBA history. His release is absolutely insane. He needs basically no space and he has the quickest release. I've never seen a player shoot the 3 the way he does. Allen arguably has the most fundamental jump shot, but he can not get it off the way Curry does. Not even close.

    I think Chris Jackson aka Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf was as quick if not quicker.

    Andre Iguodala makes them dangerous. Great fit for them.

    Doesn't that suggest you're saying Curry is better? :p

    Andre Iguodala is the key to their success.

    No coincidence they become elite again right on time with his return from injury.

    Curry's cute and fancy 3 point shooting is nice and all, and great to watch, but I'll never hinge to a player that offensive game is centered around near half court bombs. With the occasional layup.

    curry needs a defensive wingman to hide his faults..

    then his strengths get magnified..


    the rockets need to put a player next to harden and parsons that hides their atrocious at times defensive faults..


    then their strengths will be magnified
