    This is a thread about him making a lot of 3s in practice, this is the first kind of video evidence of that. It seemed pretty relevant to me.

    Not everything is a personal attack on Harden and the Rockets, there are other teams and players in the league that deserve coverage. If the Rockets won 67 games you guys would be beyond pissed if ESPN wasn't talking about them every day.

    It's in the middle of the playoffs and ESPN really don't have nothing to talk about except or some player shooting shots in practice

    Lazy work by the ball boys. One never moves his feet and the other always passes the ball right to Curry's hands. They should have 3 ball boys. One makes the passes slightly off so the Curry has to catch then shoot, and have have another guy try to block his shots, you know, kinda like in real games. Be interesting to see his percentage then.

    Cause according to b/r team stream the warriors used a "low key campaign to push curtsy mvp"

    By low key I guess they mean every nba commercial and talk about him everyday on espn

    This is the world we live in people. This, right here, this is news to ESPN. The flip side is, at least we don't have the same drivel being reported from the perspective of the strippers that Harden frequents...

    I said my comment was nothing personal about you, so please don't get defensive.

    My point is that ESPN should have better things to do than report that one player in the entire league (and only one player, apparently) makes a lot of shots in practice. It is pathetic reporting pandering to an agenda.

    If I feel this way about sub-par reporting about Curry, who is otherwise an interesting player, I think my thoughts belong in this thread.

    I love NBA Dish. I love reading about other players and other teams, and it's a great time of year for excellent coverage about the league. That makes it doubly frustrating to see this bizarro and pathetic type of coverage.

    I usually find your post rationale, but you've completely overreacted here. Agenda? Pandering? Espn conspiracy? Bizarro and Pathetic coverage? For god sakes settle down, its just a a tweet.

    Marc Stein didn't go on espn and do an expose on Curry hitting 43 shots in a row on sportcenters, he just tweeted about it.

    You know what else he tweeted right after that? If its normal to be excited when Wonderwall comes on in the supermarket. And a few tweets before that was about, nba jam in seven eleven and trivia, Oh the injustice, pandering and pathetic coverage!

    (shrug) I am a little fired up about it, and I'm enjoying it, so I will remain fired up about it. :)

    It is not just a tweet, at all. It's a narrative and an adoration from the network. It's not a "conspiracy," LOL, but it does seem to play into the hands of one of their major sponsors. Perhaps the NBA quietly pushes him too b/c he's so squeaky clean and a charitable person off the court. You could definitely do worse than to promote Curry to represent your brand.

    But I react strongly to having stories (not just tweets) about practice and what his relatives think of him, on and on. Just, enough already. It's like one of those starbucks drinks I see people get: tiny bit of coffee with simple syrup, whipped cream and then extra sugar added. Just barf -- it's too much.

    Let's celebrate Curry's basketball skills during games and leave it at that. That's plenty.

    I bet people used to hate shooting around with him when they were younger and you had to give him his change... they'd never get the ball back.
