Warriors: LOL Stephen "I Wanna Be Kobe" Curry

[Franklin]

"There are exceptions like when the opponent is overwhelmed by an inside presence like Shaq and the PG can just feed him the ball and collect dimes all night."

Don't forget that next sentence...

So the prime Jason Kidd also had someone like Shaq in the paint to pass the ball to and hence to pump up his assist numbers? Are you referring to Jason Collins or someone else?

Of course, you can say something like "there're other examples besides the shaq one, exceptions was just general speaking with no specific reference", but then there would be limitless exceptions of such kind and therefore your previous statement would be meaningless, imho.

The prime 'ason Kidd didn't win .

The old worn the out Jason Kidd won a ring with the lowest assist numbers he's had since his 2nd year in the league.

If I didn't make exceptions, folks like you would bring those up. High assists for one guy means one pass and a shot most of the time. The SSOL was often one pass and a shot, often a dump off after Nash drove under the basket, often to Amare. When the team shares the assists they are finding the better shot, the ball moves freely because there's no stat padding PG looking to boost his assists.

Steph Curry is the fastest to 1,000 3s in NBA history

That and a 2.00 will buy a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

Lol wrong

Mo williams scored 50 before too.

Curry is a good player, but the media love is ridiculous. Some dude was on record stating that Curry is better than Nash ever was. I totally forgot about all of Curry's playoff series ---moments and wins..

Steph is good. I get the love for pass first guys but when you can shoot like he can you can live with a few irrational heat checks. He still takes some bad shots so DMC was right he would be better or at least more efficient without those ...but As great as a soaring dunk is when a guy gets hot like Curry can nothing is better to watch in hoops. It changes a building. at home the crowd goes nuts the team even without getting touches is energized. The problem is when those shots dont fall.

But i love the way y'all bump this after every big Steph game, because DMC sometimes acts a gaping asshole that is mad at the world even if I do find him funny at times. SO carry-on.

Curry had a great game. More impressive than his scoring outburst was the low turnover total and the spreading of assists. Guys have scoring nights, but consistency on assists and low turnovers changes what otherwise could have been a side note (Curry's point total in a loss) to a headliner (Curry's point total leads to win). That's what you guys should take away from this.

another great take from the thinktank that is spurstalk

A solid post lacks the normal venom, DMC. Where is this guy 90% of the time?

you seem to worry too much about the post-game headlines and not enough about the games themselves. there have been games where both curry and klay have good games and you were upset the headlines mentioned curry. just appreciate the good ball the team plays

[mavsfan1000]

He's like Nash and Kobe all in one.

So this is a trend you've noticed from one post? The point of my post, you , is that having a big game and winning is a turnaround from having a big game and losing. Last year Stephs point production was inversely proportional with the team's wins. Steph scored more in losses than in wins. When his coach can find a way to turn chucking into wins, that's an accomplishment. I don't expect you to get any of that though, dip .

losing to the 10 year-old kid

Only that’s not what happened. What actually transpired was that Bryant became increasingly geeked as the night went on, watching all these kids chuck up jumpers. First he began dribbling a ball between his legs. Then he bit his lip. Then, when the show was supposed to be wrapping up, he grabbed the mike from the emcee. “They probably haven’t seen me play in a while, so we’ll do a little one-on-one game,” Kobe said, and this was true because no one had seen him play in over a year. Not Gotham. Not his handlers. “We used to call the game ‘sunrise’ in Philly,” Bryant continued. “Whoever scores stays on.

”The two emcees were surprised but went with it as Kobe extricated himself from his headset and took some practice shots. Then Bryant handpicked the three best opponents among the 30 campers and they began a rotating game of one-on-one, winner stays on, to five buckets. The crowd, as you can imagine, went bonkers. At first Kobe looked rusty. Really rusty. His jumpers hit the front iron. He threw up an air ball. He ended up backing down the kids and shooting five-foot jump hooks. It looked as if maybe his comeback was not as far along as advertised. Then, slowly, Bryant came alive. He sunk deep into a stance on D, he chased down long rebounds, pivoted and fired up high-arcing baseline fadeaways.

Against a particularly *frenetic guard, he backed him down, then dribbled around the kid’s back and spun to score, sending the crowd and emcees into spasms of joy. This is what they came to see. As Kobe will explain later, “They want to know what it’s like to actually see it, up close. To have that experience.”


There was only one problem with the narrative: Kobe lost. This is the part you don’t see on the viral videos. He thought he had the game in hand, with four points tallied in a game to five. Then the tallest of the Chinese kids, wearing a number 10 jersey, sank an impressive 17-foot fadeaway bank shot on Kobe to score his third point. After which number 10 proceeded to score on the other two kids while Kobe watched helplessly from the sidelines. Ballgame. Some random Chinese kid just beat Kobe in a one-on-one contest.

I thought somebody would bump this thread after yesterday's game.

It starts deceptively gentle.. "just the tip" I'll say. The Curry folks will capitulate and it will be duly noted. They will relax the sphincter just a bit and I'll drive it to the balls, dry. The screaming will be deafening, and victim support groups will be formed around here. Soon it will be taboo to even mention it, it will be as if no one ever offered up their ass to me.

Where do you see the Warriors losing in the PO, tbh?
