Mark Jackson Says Curry Hurting Game Of Basketball

[JIBBBY]

You know who is hurting the game? Deandre Jordan and his 30% free throw shooting percentage.

Dwight Howard as well for years..

but yeah if I go to a 6th grade basketball game, I might be infuriated by the fact that 4'11 kids are chucking up 3's every other possesion

hmmmm... not sure what's creepier, going to little league games or 6th grade basketball games when you don't have any kids.

FK MARK JACKSON and the horse he road in on. Lets say we should hate all the NBA HOF players too !! Just like Barley saying no jump shot team can win the NBA championship. If it were not for sports those two idiots would be broke. calling these guys jealous- Barkley travelled team to team trying to ride someones coat tail to a championship--- guess what-nada. gl all.

Man that's pretty harsh. I used to marvel at Barkley in his prime, man he was so fukcing good. A power forward with a legit mid range jumper (in the 90's that wasn't common like today), post up, back to the basket, whatever...
Sir Charles & his sidekick Thunder Dan used to fukc teams up in the early 90's. He was easily the 2nd best player in the league (MJ). Actually when they assembled the dream team in '92 at Barclona, it was Barkley who dominated the greatest collection of talent that will probably ever be assembled (not Jordan).

HAAAAAA!! Great point.

All he's saying is that the young kids are only working on their 3 point and long range shooting, he feels that makes them lack the ability to handle, play defense and assist. Even though Curry does all those other things, that's not what is being emulated by the young kids coming up. Actually, its a pretty brave thing to say, and I would imagine it has some merit. The only mistake, in my opinion, is starting it as Curry is hurting the game. Its an incendiary way to put it, but that's Mark Jackson's style.

i get that but kids did same thing with jordan.

they pretended to dunk or tried to emulate his dunks. jordan wasn't hurting the game either

bottom line, mark jackson could have been better with is words...
