No because they would call every moving picks, reach in, loose ball fouls, 3 seconds in the paint, and offensive fouls.
Absolutely not. He wouldn't have Kerr's system. Remember Curry with Mark Jackson? Great player, but nothing special. Certainly not what he is now.
Going for the 60-50-95 club! I don't recall somebody ever having a PER of 50 after 120 minutes played into a season.
absolutely false. Theres nothing about the system that gives him his individual abilities. Individually he's still an mvp player no matter what. Now if you want to debate on the team's success, thats more valid but taking away how great a player is especially the MVP, because he plays in some "system" is ridiculous.
Curry's a hell of a player with an outstanding work ethic, but let's tap the brakes a bit here. He is not the best player in the league. Top 5, sure, but not #1. He may get there though if he keeps working on his game. He's difficult to guard, but not impossible. I think an elite defender can keep him in check somewhat. And Curry doesn't come close to the all-time greats (MJ, Dream, Magic, Bird, Kobe, etc.).

People here also [try very hard to] underestimate how much influence Curry or Kerr have on a warriors blow outs. Repeat. Blow-outs. So yeah, if teams have so and so players, they could've beaten the Ws.
He is impossible to guard when his shot is falling. The only other player in the league that constrains a defense as much as Curry is Lebron.
Recent examples: Deron Williams. Rajon Rondo. Carmelo Anthony. Sure players have injuries, but you have to admit changing systems affected them severely. You are correct, the system doesn't give them their Individual Abilities, but playing in a certain system can (not will) enhance their play to seem virtually unguardable. If Howard in the Magic, was surrounded by non shooters, like Tony allen type non shooters, would he have been effective?
