Pelicans are bad-ass. Logos are great.

You could make the argument he is the best three point shooter ever given his volume, shot selection, and his career percentages. He's 2nd all-time behind Kerr in 3PT%. Kerr was almost exclusively a spot up shooter, he got to play several seasons with the shortened line, and his volume per minute was also much lower. Kerr has a career mark of 3.6 3PTA per36. Curry has a career mark of 5.3, and that has increased every year to the point that he's at 6.6 this year.

Only 59.5% of his threes are assisted this year. That is nuts. When you look at the yearly leaderboard for 3PTA and percentages players are almost always in the 85-95% range. Kerr was almost certainly near the 90% mark.

Novak is currently 4th all time. His AST% this year is 95%. Korver is at 95.7%.

Nash probably has the best argument, but his career percentage is quite a bit lower than Curry and his volume was much lower. Nash's career 3PTA per36 is 3.6. That is brought down somewhat by his longevity, but he was never a hugely prolific three point shooter. His highest season in terms of per minutes attempts (4.9) is less than Curry's career average of 5.3. It is only slightly better than Curry's career low mark of 4.7 from his rookie year. As mentioned, Curry is at 6.6 per36 this year, which obviously blows Nash's highest season out of the water. Nash actually only had five seasons where he averaged 4+ 3PTA per36, and he only had the one season higher than Curry's current career low.

He's a remarkable shooter.

Watching him shoot the ball is one of the greatest joys I get out of watching basketball. I realize that sounds pompous lol, but I'm deadly serious. I could watch that guy hoist bad choice jumpers all day, and he does take some bad choice jumpers. Just an absurd stroke and feel for the ball, if he stays healthy he's going to break records.

Who do you guys think has the worst logo in the league? I think it's clearly us. Not a fan of Cleveland's or Oklahoma's either. The Pelican is solid.

Holiday gets the All-star nod. Now its between Jennings and Irving

How can Kyrie get in over Jennings? The Cavs suck. Jennings is playing well and leading a playoff caliber team.

Then why wouldn't Williams get it over Jennings. Better stats and a better team.

He's a better player.

Amir Johnson has put up some really good numbers this month. Then again, maybe that's why Toronto is awful.

I will tentatively announce this as the Pelicans new logo. It's not bad, but I like some of the other options a lot more.

This is pretty cool

Boston interested in Redick? Three shooting guards not enough? Gooden for Lee.

Tried to figure something with the Cs taking back salary(Harrington, Turk)but I don't see anything there either, Cs have nothing much expiring.
