No, it's unambiguously incorrect. The age reference applies to the second clause of the sentence, not the first. Whether the writer intended the age caveat is unknown, but the words written don't convey that intent.
Did they edit it? The linked article didn't say it's "33 or older." It says that Curry was the oldest at age 33 to have accomplished that. Exactly.
Why can't sportswriters stay consistent with any of their takes? This trash heap of an article came across my feed today: Steph Curry is ‘single-handedly saving’ the NBA season — the MVP award wouldn’t ‘do him justice’ His team is 29-30! Wardell's little 11-game 30 point run makes him MORE THAN THE MVP but 2019 Harden scored 30+ for 32 freaking games in a row and got much better results in the W column and the narrative was all "ho-hum, Harden got buckets again". 2015-16 Harden got left off the All-NBA teams because Houston hovered around .500 and just scraped into the playoffs, despite Beard averaging 29 points, 7.5 assists and 6.1 rebounds. 2021 Curry averages 31.1, 5.9 and 5.5 on a sub-.500 team and that makes him the MVP somehow? Get in the bin.
Wait wut? Howard missed half the season and then got hurt in the playoffs. Capela barley played and was not better than Wiseman. Ariza was not better than Wiggins currently. Brewer and J smoove are better than Oubre? Jones is better than Draymond? I know people like to **** on Oubre and Wiggins but both would have a better PER than Ariza and would be top 5 in PER on that team. They would be in the top 4 in scoring on that team. 39 year old Terry would still be a bench role player on this GS team but he was playing major minutes on that team. Pool and Pascal are no scrubs and are certainly comparable to Terry, Brewer and Smoove. What the hell does Harden in game 6 have to do with the regular season record or getting to the 2nd round with this current G.S. team. Why you always got to be talking about Harden?
Morant has missed 10 games this year. How does Memphis have more talent? There 2nd or 3rd best player has been out the entire season.
We can't have a discussion if you actually think the 21' Warriors were comparable to that team. That's just dead wrong. If you don't think so, put up a poll or something...like I don't know what else to say, its just a bad take. Again. reread your own posts. Your whole argument was that Harden carried a weak team to the WCF....but technically they got him there. If he wasn't benched they wouldn't have gotten there. That's why I'm talking about Harden, because it is important to the argument. Reading. Comprehension. Issues.
We can't have a discussion because you want to tap out. That team had about 3 guys on it who never played meaningful minutes again in the NBA and not due injury. Your entire argument is based on wanting to claim Oubre and Wiggins are garbage when in most advanced metrics or raw numbers they would be in the top 4 on that team. Don't try to play that passive aggressive stuff with me, why don't you say how that team was so much better?
I'm not tapping out...I'm refusing to have a argument with a moron. You know what they say, you can never win an argument with an idiot. Go ask some other people which team was better. See what they say.
Says the guy using Brewer and J Smoove as an example of why that team was better. Bazemore currently is better than Brewer was.
i dont think he missed 33% of the season... imho he sit out games intentionally at the end after it become clear he will miss the playoffs
This warriors team is far and away better than that Rockets teams. Just cuz names like Josh Smith Jason Terry Dwight Howard were on the roster doesn't mean they were any good. Basically the entire roster was over the hill past their prime players. Our starting pt guards in the playoffs were Pablo Prigiono and Terry both pushing 40 years old.. Dwights injury had him out most of the year and even when he played he wasn't nearly the same player... DMo was our second best player and he missed the entire post season with a back injury... Harden would much rather have Draymond, Wiggins, Bazemore, Oubre, Looney, Wiseman. You could pick up players from the street better than half the guys the Rockets played. Trash Brewer. Sure they bailed Harden out in game 6. Every player needs help man.
I was going to come in to post just that. He's an all-time great having a great season, but he's not having an MVP season.
You aren’t watching warriors basketball if you think wiseman has been good this year. He’s been bad after he showed a flash at the beginning of the season. Howard, Beverly, Josh Howard, Brewer. All of those players are better than any combination of bazemore, looney, oubre. Draymond. Draymond is a shell of himself. He’s been one of the worst players in the league this year. I didn’t even mention dmo in the original post. Wiggins is ok. But that Rockets team was deeper, had more of a vet presence and would absolutely wipe the floor with the 21 warriors.
Exactly. That rockets team had veteran smarts. Veterans don't mean they are worse than rookies; rookies make mistakes, veterans don't. Veterans just don't last long, but for any given night, they can turn back the clock and be major contributors, even if the next day they'd retire. Look at Kobe getting 60 and retire. Look at Pringles and J Smoove winning the series as the young Harden is (sulking) on the bench.
as raw as wiseman is he still isn't as raw as Capela was that season. Remember at the draft when Capela was 2 years away from being 2 years away? Lol josh Howard?? Probably meant Josh Smith who basically retired after that season. Once again Bev was injured. Didn't play a single minute in the playoffs. We had Pablo Prigiono!!!! Bazemore shoots 39% from three. Harden could only dream to have that kind of shooter on his team. Harden is the greatest offensive player in league history. No one generates as many points as him. If he has 4 dudes who can play defense he wins. Draymond, Wiggins, Oubre, looney. Would be just fine. Not to mention both Wiggins and Bazemore shoot close to 40% from three. That is all he needs. Dratmond probably shoots better in a PJ Tucker role. Only allow him to shoot short corner threes and see if his percentages rise.
