    A chucker without options is still a chucker. RW has Durant and no one else who can shoot worth a . He's still a chucker.

    It's part of Mark's system, but it's a system of chucking.
    Thabo a 40% three point shooter, K-mart still a good outisde shooter, used to play along Harden, and he was still a chucker

    For most people, this is a bad shot to take. But he is so proficient at making it, it's not really that bad of a shot to take.

    It's just like Dirk and his 1-legged fadeaway. For 99% of the league, that would be a dumbass shot to take. For Dirk? It's bread and butter. How about Kareem and his skyhook? Probably not a strong suit of a shot for most people in history, but he rode that shot to being one of the greatest basketball players ever.

    Curry generally can consistently hit long threes, or heavily contested jumpers, because he has worked on his shot so much. He was off a bit last night, but then again, all players have those nights, including Dirk with his fadeaway and Kareem with his skyhook. When it's all said and done, we may be looking back at Curry as the greatest jumpshooter to ever play.

    Also, you forget to take into account the value of 3s. Say someone shoots 65% on 2pt shots, and another person shot 45% on 3pt shots. That is a 20% difference, which seems huge. But if you shoot 100 of each shot, what is going to get you more points? You will get 130 pts on 2s, and 135 pts on 3s.
    When someone counts the value of the 3, they often forget the cost if you miss which is a long rebound and often a fast break in the other direction. Also, if the 3 isn't taken in the flow of the offense, if it's forced like his so often are, rebounders aren't set to crash the boards so the miss can cost a team more than a two point miss in the flow of the offense that has at least a higher chance of being offensively rebounded.

    He did well to drive the paint, no one was stopping him, yet he pulled up for long bombs.

    That kind of offense will never go very far. It's cute, but that's about it.

    Thabo tries to hide on offense, it's either to chicken or too stupid to know when to shoot.

    How about this then: Curry should shoot every time he has the ball. His percentage dictates he shoot as often as possible. He should be taking 30 shots a game.

    regardless, trying to be a dumbass and dismiss his ability to shoot 45% from 3 is ing re ed

    But he doesn't take 30 shots per game, he takes 17.8.

    Why shouldn't he take twice as many?

    No one here argues that Timmy's contested 28' shot is better than other people's open short range jumpers.

    With Curry on the court in the 1st Round, the Warriors outscored the Nuggets by 52 points. But with him on the bench, they were outscored by 27 points.

    But he doesn't make his team better

    Also of note from that article:

    Only Matt Bonner, LeBron James and Manu Ginobili have a better plus-minus than Curry in the 2013 playoffs.
    Matty ice, the GOAT of +/-
