He only works in an offense that is built around maximizing his strengths and covering his weaknesses, while being surrounded by weapons. He can look like a superstar when in the right situation but crumbles as the 1st option.

He’s the GOAT shooter but he doesn’t make plays, can’t carry a team and doesn’t make anyone better.

This is the post 2020 deserves.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Curry is the system on GSW and the driving force behind their success, even with KD on the team.

He definitely makes everyone better around, there's facts backing up my statement.

For someone who hates LeBron, you manage to bring him up in every thread.

Didn't look pretty last year either but I will give him benefit of a doubt for few weeks, but he better not to sit entire season with another made up broken nail like last time if everything doesn't go as he likes it to.

Steph will see double teams all year with that roster. Another tough year for the Warriors.

He tore his groin :lol: but I can't argue that he was very unprofessional that year with his sulking etc. But if he was healthy they'd easily make the playoffs no problem.

This is a legit and accurate post. The Nick Foles comparison is a bit much as Curry is still an all time great, though he is overrated and he is not capable of carrying a team like people think he is...and yes, Nick Foles does have a SB MVP while Curry has no FMVPs and may never win one :lol:

I mean he’s been the first option surrounded by garbage even dating back to his college days.

Eh, people said Curry saw double teams even with KD on the roster. It's nothing new for him.

This Warriors team is *awful*. People don't understand, Wiggins is *bad*. Draymond will be barely a top 100 player unless he can scorer 12 a game on decent efficiency.

Not sure who Nick Foles is because I don't watch much NFL but the title of this thread is hilarious. :lol:

LOL every star is a system player! Do you really want a coach that set up an offense that MINIMIZE the impact of his star!?!?!?!

What a dumb thread.

Makes it hard when you can double curry, have one guy ignore Wiggins and patrol the passing lanes. He's pretty good but it's one game and they lost their second best player for the year, third best player is out, and your riding on a rookie C to beat a good Nets team

Yea, I remember when Curry was trash in Mark Jackson's offense that had him on the ball more and running more pick and rolls. Oh wait...he was actually still very good, hmm...
