I think Curry's game is underrated, the spacing he creates w/ his off the ball and on the ball play is ridiculous. His ability to come off screens/picks and get open (playing next to Jack) is soo valuable. And on the ball, he's been lethal in the P&R with Lee...he's also legit at scoring off the dribble. This isn't even mentioning he's become a very good defender at the PG position. Hell, I think he has an argument over Westbrook too.
Agreed.
Also look at the Eastern Conference reserves. What a big **** joke. I have never imagined that I'd see Jrue Holiday as an allstar. Seeing his name made threw up in my mouth a little. Not because he didn't deserve it, but that just shows how weak that conference really is.
i don't get why your that upset about holiday? he is killing it this year.....yes it is a weak conference but not because of his selection
you can't call curry a snub and say holiday has no reason to make it
curry- 20.9/6.6/4.1 43.6%....(does have a huge advantage over holiday in 3p%, though)
holiday- 19/9/4.2 45.4%
EDIT- didn't think of this until after posting it, but if you're including team record i get it.
My biggest beef with Jrue Holiday is that he's virtually worthless when he doesn't have ball in his hands. He plays great on-ball defense but no off-ball defense. Terrific 1-on-1 player but without the ball he doesn't do a whole lot. Let me use some numbers to show you Jrue's impact on the Sixers (from an article I read). When Jrue is on the floor, the Sixers score 93 points/48 minutes on 44.3% shooting, whereas when he is on the bench, they score 90.3 points/48 minutes on 44% shooting. Thus, his impact isn't nearly as remarkable especially considering that he gets most of the possessions. I would love to see how effective Jrue will become once Evan Turner comes close to his level (which is not to say that Jrue will not improve). My point is that as of now his impact isn't showing. So it's not just about individual stats.
Now, I'm not a big fan of Curry but his impact on the floor this year has been insane. The warriors score 102.3 points/48 minutes on 46.5% shooting when he is on the court but when he is off the court, they drop to 91.6 points/48 minutes on 43.6% shooting. Now that's significant and shows he doesn't put up garbage stats.
If there was a balance in talent between the two conferences, Jrue wouldn't have been an all-star this season. The Eastern Conference sucks hard.
