While this quote is taken out of context, I still like how Curry's mentality is "I'll just shoot from further out if I am guarded".
That alone is what makes Lebron a better offensive player.
I hope he's joking
9 assists per game last year.
Frizzle
true, but in the interview at one point DP asked who is a flat out better scorer, and that was part of curry's response.
I would easily take Curry over the Great Satan when it comes to scoring. Curry has a great jump shot while the Great Satan doesn't have a jump shot at all. Also Curry is more honorable person he doesn't throw teamates under the bus or run away from his team when things get tough unlike the Great Satan.
enrique must agree here since his always on the other end of a beat down till pop puts kawhi on him
A case can be made for players like durant or Curry being better than Lebron on offense depending on if you value shooting more than driving. I'd rather have Lebron he is by far the best passer of the three but I dont get why yall act like it's not debtable. Stop being Lebron dyckriders. he is by far the best player because there are two ends of the court, on offense Curry and Durant have a case ...Lebron is a far better post player even with his limited post moves.
No curry does not have a case. LeBron is the best at driving and more efficient shooting jumpers. And also a better passer. There is no debate. And better in the post.
Apparrently anytime someone feels strongly on here ... they act like the other side can not be argued. I agree the case is weak. If he said he was a better shooter I would say his case is stronger. Yes, Lebron is more efficent than Curry but in some advanced stats Durant was more efficient than both. again I choose Lebron but a case can be made for the other two. Is all I am saying.
BTW, How is that case for Harden and Dwight as franchise players working out for you?
Steph Curry is a great shooter, one of the best in the league, but better offensively than LeBron? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Curry is a poor man's Allen Iverson, tbh...
There is no case for Curry to be better on offense. He took 17 shots a game and 7.9 of those were three's. If you shut him out from three he is done. And they are working out better than Nick Young and Carlos Boozer, tbh.
Burn ...
Hmm they cost less to the Lakers and are signed for less years.
OF course Id rather have your duo ...would be nice to lose in the first round instead of missing the playoffs ... I guess.
Arguable. James is terribly uncomfortable on the offensive end. And it's bit him across the last two Junes. If not for Pop & Duncan insisting James would be up against it.
He looked awfully comfortable in Game 7 two Junes ago, ordering your Kirby to don the bag. tee, hee.
No. The Bag stays in Texas till further notice.
With Kirby in it.
The difference is that when we talk about Lebron getting shut down, we're talking about him getting only 25 points on 50-percent shooting rather than 35 points on 65-percent shooting. When we talk about Curry getting shut down, we're talking about him going 3-19 against Green in the first three games of the WCSF two years ago. It's no contest who's the better offensive player. Curry isn't even top-15 in the league when you're talking about performances against the best teams.
I like James but what an exaggeration Lebron has much worse games than that some of them in the Finals. I agree that Lebron is harder to contain and is the better overall offensive player but your example is obviously biased to state your case.
He set a bar, well, he egged Media on to set a bar for him. If now he can't meet that self mandated bar then that's on him. Across the last two Junes James got caught got tiptoeing. I don't need Media not to tell me that for it not to be true. It's true.
You brought them up in a discussion about Curry so I'm guessing you would want them.
It's not like it's cherry-picked. Curry has never figured Green out. That 3-19 was over three games BEFORE he got hurt. James can have an off-shooting night here or there like everyone else. But there isn't a single player out there who can shut him down. Curry being a guard who's at best average at driving to the rim makes him a much easier guard for good defensive teams.
The Spurs didn't even have to game-plan to stop Curry. They just put Green on him and played the rest of the Warriors players straight up. In contrast, they defended James with at least another player constantly shadowing him.
