Stephen Curry has been totally exposed

[TwoStarz]

For as bad a take as this was at least Pharm owned up to it. Usually people will double down, get toxic, and dig in, like JN61. That behavior is shameful and embarrassing.

It takes a big person to have fun with it the way Pharm has.

Agreed, he’s taken his bad take right on the chin like a man.

Somehow the Durant situation made people forget this guy was the undisputed best player on a team that went 73-9

which is why I always say Steph has been the most underrated superstar we've ever seen...I can't imagine a thread like this about a LeBron or a KD or a Harden or a Kawhi...but somehow, after everything Steph has done, Pharm created this thread after 2 game sample size...just absurd

Little known secret: Curry and Bron have been the two best players for much of the last decade.

[BeatDaCavs420]

LMAO Love threads like this

[Woodsanity]

Curry has always been better than KD. KD joined his team after being cucked by Curry. Remember that. Put some respect on that name. I don't care how many Finals MVPS KD won when barely being guarded by anyone due to the attention Curry drew.

[1993Playoffs]

He may be declining

Looks the same to me...his skill set will age very well as long as he's healthy

You are correct

It’s borderline unfair to be able to shoot well lol.

[canada_dry]

I always come back to this. This will go down in the real gm HOF of bad threads and awful takes. Not just op but all the clowns in here debating it too.

We missed out on this for 4 years.

[nfmos]

Just a sampling, haven't seen a lot of these guys in a while though...

He can’t lead a team on his own. Last year was his chance to show otherwise but he copped out with a injured hand that never seemed to heal. His legacy has taken a brutal hit the last year and counting. He’s more a system player than a superstar .

I've made this point multiple times, but I'll say it again. Look at any player considered a top 20 player of all time. They all have the ability to assert their will on the defender. They all have an ability to get their shot off whenever they want. Curry doesn't have that. 2015 was a fluke ring.

The main flaw with the "Curry Gravity" argument is that opponents double him not because they fear him more than anyone else, but its EASIER to take him out of the game than other stars. 6'2 Curry isn't going to the rim and muscling it through defenders, nor is he quick to blow by nor is he battling down in the post. Its RIDICULOUS.

It really doesn't matter who he is playing with. The bottom line is he isn't an elite scorer.

this. curry has never carried the franchise for long spells like a reggie miller, mitch richmond or even ray allen. these guys could shoot and carried their teams to many playoff births. curry is just a product of big 3/4 type of team. he has never been the man

Curry Giannis and Westbrook are probably 3 of the most overrated MVP’s in NBA history.

36 points on 44% FG and 33% from 3, get used to these kinds of stat lines. This was against a horrible defensive team. Efficiency is hard when you don't have a crazy stacked team taking pressure off you

From goat to tank commander.That's massive.

Curry is, in terms of fighting, the little guy that comes in at the end and kicks the guy down after his Big friends have already beaten the guy up. But by himself, Curry is the guy that gets beaten up, gives up, and cries for help.

I thought he alone changed basketball? Lol

Great takes guys!

[GreenBloodedC]

More reason to hate KD. He deprived us of 2 years of prime Curry.

he's having a great stretch, what do you want me to say? the problem with internet boards is you have a lot of biased/young/irrational fans that don't see basketball in an objective way, and i don't care to have constant arguments where i'm essentially trying to convince someone that the sky is blue.

curry is great in the regular season, but there's at least 5 other players i'd take in the playoffs over him. he doesn't have the diverse skill set that harden, lebron, kawhi, KD have to name a few.

in the '16 playoffs his team made it to the 3rd round with him having only played 3 games. it's not just a great supporting cast, it's how complimentary they were to his skill set + a great bench that made the warriors so great. the 2015-16 run was the flukiest run in my 20+ years of following basketball, like if you don't see that then i don't know what to tell you.

KD was always better than curry, but the team was built around curry so obviously they'd look worse when curry was out vs when KD was out. like c'mon. i get tired of typing the same stuff over and over.

[TwoStarz]

Exposed indeed.

"b-but the s-s-sample size too small!!!"

Why would anyone compare how well Curry played when he was surrounded by all time great shooters and possibly the best player in the game? That only tells us that he's a great system player.

What happens when that system is devoid of it's otherworldly talent? We see Curry get dominated by 40 points and shoot terribly.

Regardless, even if there were an entire season of Curry shooting poorly and losing games, the stans would just say his team is bad, so why even pretend like you care about "sample sizes?"

Constant excuses for this little man-

"He's injured!"
"He's possibly still injured"
"Klay is not playing"
"Durant isn't playing"
"30 year old Dray is too old to play!"
"His gravity is being affected by Saturn!"
"Curry is getting doubled unlike any other star ever!"
"Curry looks like he's injured"

It's getting a tad bit embarrassing guys.

Too much high bball IQ. You know all these guys are coming in here regularly, not posting but feeling incredibly stupid over the things they said.

See, I think what you're really tired of is being wrong about Curry over and over.

Kerr has designed an entire offense around his historic abilities(shooting, ball-handling and efficient finishing at the rim). And you're complaining about his skill set not being diverse enough? He's better at the things he does than Harden, Lebron, Kawhi and KD(just to name a few) are at the things they do which is why Kerr designed a system that exploits his abilities like a cheat code.

Curry isn't as good at posting up as many, many players so if he posted up more he wouldn't be as good a basketball player. And then guys like you show up and criticism him for hyper-specializing in his strengths. According to your logic, he should diversify his game more which would unquestionably reduce his effectiveness...and that would earn your admiration or something? Which is just your bias showing. You don't like that a marginal physical talent by NBA standards is able to dominate the game more than your favorite players.

I'm truly sorry for your frustrations.

[Capn'O]

He's doing the Kobe 2006 thing. Just an insane stretch of games to put a mediocre team on his back for a playoff push.

That was something his legacy needed to move up the list, tbh.

[Peregrine01]

That Curry doesn’t have a diverse skill set on offense is the dumbest trope I’ve heard. A lot of people seem to still think that all he does is shoot 3s.

Curry this season is leading in PPP on practically every ball handling play except for post-ups. He’s in the 100th percentile as a pick and roll ball-handler, in isolation and on spot-ups. 99th percentile in dribble hand-offs.

Up the list where? He was already top 10 all time. GOAT shooter, changed the entire game of basketball, transcendent once in a lifetime player, multiple titles and MVPs.

His legacy is cemented. You dont have to have him top 10 now, but when his career is done, you will have to make room for him. Dont care who you take off the list.

Most lists have him between 15-20. So higher than that.

[Mephariel]

He is exposed yet again. Night after night.
