    Hands down. Feet together. No sense of spacing and angles of attack. No effort.

    thanks for the clarification, simpleton, but they used to say the same things back then. That is why I compared apples to apples.

    Players didn't automatically get more skilled or athletic nowadays, it's just that the rules have been relaxed a bit. All the fancy dribbling that you see nowadays players carry the ball like 80% of the time. You can't touch players on the perimeter with hand checks or hip checks, then what you get is Harden ball with going to the line all the time. It's like those dreamy pictures you take at the mall where everybody looks like a model. Is it just me or today's games boring nowadays? 140-95 point games... it's like watching a children's nba jam game. I rather watch close 71-72 point slug fest games from the 90's where you knew there was going to be some fights, ejections, and suspensions.

    I'm not one of those guys that hates on older generations, but if Steph played in the 60s and 70s he would average north of 40.
    Even without the three-point line? I can never doubt Curry, though.

    and if I remember right, scoring barely went up a couple points once hand checking was abolished. people act like it's some mystical defense that perimeter players wouldn't be able to figure out
    Perimeter players like carter, McGrady, pierce, Kobe Ray Allen and AI all had banner years when they removed hand checks.

    Chef Curry is doing so much work ...

    Chuck wants people to deliver cheapshot elbows on screens ...
    Oscar throwing shade ...
    Fellow players tweeting out in amazement that Curry found the "cheatcode"
    2K designers saying that they have change the source code on their game because it punishes gamers for off the dribble shots but curry is destroying the logic of the game by hitting those shots consistently.
    People are flying him up the all-time great lists at faster rate than anyone since LeBron hit his prime
    No one is saying about him winning backtoback MVP's like they ed when Nash did (no one really argued LeBron's)
    He will smash every 3 point record Korver's is just the beginning
    Shameless niccas jumping on the Dubs bandwaagon like they did Mj's bulls in the 90's
    The crowd in Orlando were CHEERING his half-court 3 last night ...

    All of this and remember

    ... Steph had two bum ankles
    ... Took a far below max extension like 3 years ago
    ... People were trying to on him and say Delly locked him up in the finals
    ... More fans here were clowning this dude for Iggy winning finals MVP (why does that matter so much here? WGAF?)
    ... People ing about his mouthpiece and his shimmies
    ... Twolves too 2 Pg's before steph and IF I remember correctly steph was like the 4th PG chosen? Johnny flynn ...

    To all that Steph says shhhhhhh
    He's doing work, but look at the moving screens they get away with!!!! If the defense can't get to you, all you have to do is shoot!!! Duuuuh

    Nicca as good as Kiwi is ...if you gave him a wide open shot no fans no refs just him and the ball he could not make some of the shots curry makes and at the same rate. Prime Kobe neither. Maybe Kiwi is a better two way player and Kobe a better all around scorer ...but when you combine his handle with that shot no one is as nice when it comes to shooting ... illegal screens or not.

    Yeah I mean I haven't watched tooo much 60s/70s ball but it didn't seem like they pressured the ball too much and worried more about stopping penetration. He would be able to get his shot off from anywhere, even more so than he does already. But yeah maybe 40+ is a little generous

    I have never been that impressed by Oscar watching full games of his. Wilt was a monster with crazy athleticism and he'd dominate in any era, Russell had an incredibly quick jump and would be a better Rodman minus all the baggage and selfishness and with better outlet passing, but Oscar just seems like a statpadder when I watch his games. For the life of me I can't see how anyone could pick him over someone like Kobe Bryant who was a better ballhandler with much more range and a lot more athleticism.
    The intergenerational gap for perimeter players is steep b/c of how the game has evolved from a strictly passing game to creating shots off the dribble. With his skill-sets Oscar wouldn't be that much better than prime Andre Miller.

    The only thing that has gotten ty is the NCAA. You had guys like Pistol Pete, Elvin Hayes & Kareem playing 4 years when they had the ability to dominating the NBA in their 3rd/4th years ala Tim.

    Man, I hate young people.
