Still the best player in the world

[jtoler]

revolutionized the game everybody can shoot now thanks to tireless practice trying to emulate the chef. over 60 guys are shooting 38% or better this year free m 3 that’s insane

[Hman]

There was a vid going around yesterday of him hitting 5 three pointers in a row from half court in warmups.

Clearly making a point after everyone made such a big deal of LeBron hitting that one deep three the other night.

[cincinnatikid513]

must be joking right weak ankles who plays no defense

[Hman]

must be joking right weak ankles who plays no defense

To be fair, none of them play defense anymore

[jjgold]

Yeah not a bad game for coming back off all along lay off

[play4win]

i also had some curry last night! it was diarrhea today! lol

[cincinnatikid513]

not even best player on his own team

[Chi_archie]

The way Feb went, he needs to do some work to prove he's even the best player named Curry with a first name starting with S and ending in T in the league.

Seth wasn unreal behind the arc in Feb

In his new book, The Victory Machine, Ethan Sherwood Strauss of The Athletic dropped a bomb. He claims in 2011, the Warriors attempted to trade Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson to land Chris Paul from the New Orleans Hornets.

"It was far from the only time Curry was shopped, but in this instance, the deal was very close to completion," Strauss wrote. "Myers made the offer and Hornets GM Dell Demps was receptive."

Paul, had the deal come to fruition, would have joined forces with Monta Ellis and David Lee, two players who posted over 20 points per game throughout the 2011-12 season. At the very least, that trio could definitely have propelled the Warriors to a playoff berth for the next few seasons.

However, as Strauss notes, the fact that no Steph-Klay trade was successful may have been the best thing that happened to the Warriors in a long time.

"The Hornets weren't the only organization to narrowly lose out on the deal of a lifetime. According to one GM, 'The Warriors were blind lucky that they were unsuccessful in trading Steph and Klay together for the stars they offered them together for,' he said. 'There were many, many people they tried to get and failed.'"

The hypotheticals are practically endless. Where does Kevin Durant go after OKC if this trade goes through? Where does Anthony Davis end up? Where is Zion Williamson playing in his rookie season? It's an amazing rabbit hole to go down.

Yup. I read that yesterday and all I could think of is how fukkin` lucky the Warriors and that arrogant brain trust were that this trade fell apart. Obviously they made some great picks and signings and other teams did what dumb teams always do and totally f/u the draft,
but this would have been an ALL-TIME dingbat move.

[clockwise1965]

Great shooter but clearly not the best player in the NBA.

[Goat Milk]

Curry was never the best player in the world at any point in his career. Guy has 3 rings and 0 finals MVPs.

[asiagambler]

Best player in the world is Giannis and its not really close either

[DOM-Ganador]

But Goat, I think you are missing the major point of the thread:
Curry and Klay @ their salaries/contracts or CP3 and his contract starting at 2011 ???
Myers had it on the table.

[SBR_Guest_Pro]

he isn't as good as he was 2 seasons ago

[clockwise1965]

he isn't as good as he was 2 seasons ago

None of us are. Lol.

[Mr KLC]

Steve Nash shot over 40% from the 3 for 14 seasons. That’s the most in NBA History.

Steph currently has 10 such seasons

[cincinnatikid513]

overrated

of course curry and klay. that didnt sound like the pt of this thread. if curry was that good he would have closed the door on toronto even without klay and kd. at least in game 6, where they were at home with 1 quarter of ball left and had a lead when klay went out. when toronto went to a box and 1, he fizzled out completely. run a box and 1 on lebron and see what happens.

His show Holy Moly is really good though

i would love to see the nba play defense again, it nothing more than street ball now, but just like how the nfl has gone pts kept the people in their playing seats.it sad how pro sports are today............it all about offense and kepting fans in the seats, they have kill 2 great sports, the nfl and the nba in my eyes.....

The number of points scored actually numbs me to the game. Basket here, basket there, basket scoring everywhere is just too repetitive to me.

True, No defense at all.

Yah, they went away from the beautiful game to cater to the "family audience". Now instead of Hubie Brown we get sidelined reporter turned basketball expert Doris, and we get score every possession. Quite fitting the NBA is sponsored mostly by Disney, and is resuming in their gyms.

Don't fret there is pure basketball still being played in other parts of the world.

[Zlaniner]

Warriors, warriors, warriors !

[Bcatswin]

I love these type of attempts at trolling. Guy might be a top 10 player.

[Unrivaled]

What does Curry think about sitting out the season? Would tell a lot as he comes across more intelligent than most of the low life NBA players.

I figured this thread was going to be about Indian food

you can get out of the getto, but you cant take the getto out of a black person.
