Stephen Curry turns pro

makemoney4ver · 04-23-09, 02:57 PM

haha curry a star in the nba seriously are you guys high???

hes a worse shooter than reddick (who absolutely sucks in the nba) and has the body of a 12 yr old girl

this guy will be a bust, i can't wait to see which idiotic team takes him

nba is about being athletic not just shooting well
at best he'll make the d-league but will probably be kicked out

also plz don't compare him to iverson who singlehandedly led his team to the nba finals, this curry kid will NEVER be able to do that in the nba

Chi_archie · 04-23-09, 04:14 PM

I think he can be valuable as a shooter off the bench....

maybe he can be like dad, Dell and that would be a decent NBA career

Bill Dozer · 04-23-09, 06:33 PM

I'll give you Boobie Gibson and my first rd pick for him!

He seems like the type of player you keep on your squad even if he can't get it done in games. Good guy for locker room, practice and will end up being a coach... The kind of guy whose hoop smarts took him this far.

Nate Robinson is a 5'10 shooting guard. Is he better than him?

Chi_archie · 04-23-09, 06:44 PM

the nate robinson that can jump OVER Dwight Howard? I heard he takes ill-advised shots

I've watched Reggie since at UCLA and he was never more than a catch and shoot player. Curry is NOTHING like that. He has the quickness and the handles to breakdown defenders. Just watch what he did against Gonzaga, Georgetown and Wisconsin during the 2008 NCAA Tournament. No one could stop him as he did whatever he wanted.

Its also ignorant to say small players cant take it to the basket in the NBA. Tony Parker, Steve Nash and Chris Paul do it on a regular basis. They must be taking roids.

YOU are right he isnt reggie miller and wont have as successful a career as reggie....and wont even come close to AI..... he will not penetrate to the basket like AI did....he doesnt have the nasty crossover or the speed quickness or strength that iverson had. iverson may not have won and he def was a cancer but he did take a mediocre 76ers teams to the finals against the lakers....curry may have made a run to the elite 8 but come on are you serious.......if he was so amazing where was he this year? ooohhhh the NIT....impressive

I think that's the one... hmm, the Nate that average 2.9 assists for his career?

Mac4Lyfe · 04-23-09, 10:34 PM

Lebron James has seen him play and he has said that the guy will be one of the best PG's in the league. That's good enough for me.

Actually the guy I really like is Paddy Mill's of St. Mary's. Did you see him in the Olympics against team USA??? He was clearly the fastest guy on the court and he gave CP3 and Derron Williams fits. This guy reminds me of a faster Tony Parker with an established jumper. I think him and Curry are both going to be alright.

Haha what lebron was really thinking was I cant wait for this kid to try and take a charge against me so I can jump right through him and send his 3rd grade body to the hosipltal.

There is a very good reason alot of former players are horrible gms and coaches. think about it here is a list of jordans first round picks: PLAYER PPG RPG APG
2008 20 Alexis Ajinca 2.3 1.0 0.1
2008 9 D.J. Augustin 11.8 1.8 3.5
2007 22 Jared Dudley 5.6 3.5 1.0
2007 8 Brandan Wright 6.2 3.3 0.4
2006 3 Adam Morrison 8.7 2.4 1.6
2005 5 Raymond Felton 13.6 3.4 6.7
2005 13 Sean May 8.5 5.0 1.2
2004 2 Emeka Okafor 14.0 10.7 0.9
not one player has exceeded expectaations, emeka's been decent but he was #2 overall. We all know the great job elgin baylor has done at the clippers.

Can anyone name a great player turn great general manager?

Mac4Lyfe · 04-24-09, 01:31 AM

Danny Ferry... Oh wait, you said great player

Chi_archie · 02-21-10, 11:43 PM

looks like Curry will surpass Miller's rookie year stats. fun to watch

whatsgood5 · 02-21-10, 11:46 PM

Hopefully his brother's as good as him. He'll be playing for my Blue Devils next year

Powderguy · 02-21-10, 11:47 PM

He got drafted by the right team and fits very well with their style.

yeah, no defense and shoot it once you cross half court.

That's the only reason he's putting up any numbers, if he was with anyone else, he wouldn't be having much success.

fsugolf · 02-21-10, 11:54 PM

so true ron....he's a solid offensive player though and only see him getting better

podunk · 02-21-10, 11:57 PM

i like him

podunk · 02-21-10, 11:58 PM

hope he does well

LoL.

BillyCostigan · 02-22-10, 12:08 AM

You guys see that left-handed pass he threw to Watson in transition. Nasty.

fsugolf · 02-22-10, 12:09 AM

watched the kid play in summer league in vegas last summer...looked as good as he does now

phillybadboy · 02-22-10, 12:10 AM

great pass

ronjon619 · 02-22-10, 12:11 AM

he can shoot lights out......but he can't play in the paint. He also has some trouble creating his shot and forget about defense.

The Stone Age. This has absolutely nothing to do with Curry

BillyCostigan · 02-22-10, 12:13 AM

No one on Golden State plays defense. It's the up and down style, not the player. Disagree that he has trouble creating his shot, at least not as much as most do in their rookie NBA season. He is advanced in that area right now. Very smooth player. If he can get some weight on that frame he will be tough.

suckerforparlays · 02-22-10, 12:17 AM

I think hes a pretty good player but I dont watch to many NBA games other then the Bulls. He's a great passer though IMO

ronjon619 · 02-22-10, 12:18 AM

all his stuff is off picks. A lot of teams will give him the lane and deny the jumper. Without a high screen and roll the guy is a pure shooter. Now that he is playing point, guys like Jason Kidd, Darrin Williams and Chauncy Billups will eat him up on the defensive side of the ball. These guys did it to Chris Paul his rookie year. Jason Kidd did everything but punch him in their playoff series.

Kav · 02-22-10, 12:18 AM

stud shooter just like his pops.
