If Elian Curry Repeats he'll completely obliterate MJ GOAT status

[Sean Cagney]

the bulls 3peated twice

Well technically that was true, just meant MJ was their leader then and the best player on the planet overall. Pippen was not too shabby though

Not only 3 peated twice, but

DPOY
All defense multiple times
NBA MVP like 6 times

Those are things Curry wont even sniff when is career is over. But damn Curry is amazing right now

MJ was a monster, some forget how dominant he was during the run because it was so long ago but in the playoffs he has insane numbers (Especially the finals). I am guessing some kids never saw him play live.

Skill can't evolve indefinitely. There's just certain things humans will never be able to do given our limitations (ex. Usain Bolt is close to theoretical top human speed, so sprinters aren't going to be running sub-9 second times in the next 20-30 years without PEDs or other enhancements) I don't know if Curry portends the next skill evolution or is just a freak in the Hakeem, David Robinson, Shaq, Magic, and Lebron mold.

I think what Curry does can be taught, since shooting really doesn't really on any kind of freaky physical gifts other than hand-eye coordination, and maybe he's indeed a freak in that regard.

Misleading stat. The rest of the league shoots last second shots from the other end of the floor while Steph shoots from there in the flow of the game. Let's go 50+ and see how that works. Granted, Steph can shoot better from the other out of bounds than some people can shoot from the FT line, but cherry picking stats like that creates misleading results. It's like me spotting you every ball on the table but one, and challenging you in an 8 ball game. There'd be nothing in my way, and I have several options for shots, but all of my balls are in your way and you have one ball to shoot at.

Lesson: Don't cherry pick my balls.

What Curry has is twitch muscle that adapts memory moves very well. He'd be a great dart thrower as well, and a golfer or anything that requires precise muscle memory.

No.

If it was even close in percentages, I'd agree with you. This nigger is hitting 50% compared to league average of 8%. He almost put one in from 70ft last night with the flick of the wrist at the "end of the quarter".

Take his percentages against other 3pt shooters. Taking the field is taking a large majority of people who heave at the buzzer, on every team. Almost no one else shoots intentionally from beyond 30 during normal game time.
