He’s had issues with it his whole career much like Adonal Foyle did. I give it another 10 games before he’s out and they start tanking.


Freaking HILARIOUS. On purpose, I hope.

10 or more 3 pointers made in a game:

I feel like I shouldn't be surprised but that's a pretty crazy stat

You'd probably be a contender for the first pick now if he sat.

Would you have preferred to take the tanking route this season?


maybe if we didn't have the Minny pick :wink:


Imagine have two Top 5 picks in the upcoming stacked draft tho :o

Add Kuminga and Mobley to this team...

Curry
Klay
Kuminga
Green
Mobley

That is a win now team and a team built for the future. Ya count me in on the preferred tanking route. But with that said, I’m all for watching prime Curry go off. It’s the most entertaining thing in basketball in my opinion.

If you cant respect this, you dont know anything about sports.

You legit cannot stop this guy. Triple teams arent working anymore. Quadruple teams might?

Might turn out like that college game back in 2008 where the opponents were constantly double teaming Curry no matter where he was on the court so Steph just patiently waited at halfcourt and let his team play 4 on 3. They won by 30 with Steph scoring 0 points on 3 shot attemps after averaging well over 30 up to that point. :lol:

"Anybody else ever hold him scoreless?" Patsos asked. "I'm a history major. (Are people) going to remember that we held him scoreless or (that) we lost by 30?" :lol: :lol: :lol:

Same story this year, when he’s not surrounded by multiple stars and superstars he can’t elevate his game and the teammates around him and win against a healthy opponent. I would bet he will try to use injury to shut it down this year too.

His legacy has taken a brutal hit the last year and counting. He’s more a system player than a superstar .

Yeah, this season has all but killed that narrative..

2016 unanimous MVP Steph: 30/5/7 on 67% TS
2021 Steph with Andrew Wiggins and Kelly Oubre: 30/5/6 on 66% TS

Steph is the system.

Thread deserves to be bumped every chance. For people to say "Oh the Wiggins improvement, they have this and this" He's still carrying a gross roster right now to the finals

To be sure, there were a whole lot of other posters last season saying the same thing, and that curry faked the hand injury because he was afraid of damaging his legacy. I wish we pull up the clowns from those threads too.

A chance at a high draft pick is not worth missing out on this version of Curry. Not even close.

Yup. I know there were a lot. Even from being on here a while, I was getting shocked at how it actually seemed to be the majority going into this season. Maybe just a very loud minority.

I haven’t had the chance to read through all 70+ pages, but I’m glad he’s owned up to it as well. As I’ve read earlier.

One slightly flame post shouldn’t be too bad considering this thread lived on the first page of Realgm all season.

This thread will probably be remembered for the next 10+ years and people will bump it in Curry's HOF speech. Just golden all around.

He still had a take so bad that his grand kids will have to live their entire lives in shame of how bad his takes were. Hopefully his great great great grand kids can live a life without knowing they come from him. But even then the shame should follow his family.

Watching anything with max kellerman that isn't boxing related would be a thing to avoid mentioning in public. That might be the worst thing you've said in this thread....
