Is Curry a good dancer? Is Curry’s dance celebrations Taunting? 

Post#1 » by SinceGatlingWasARookie » Fri May 20, 2022 6:07 pm

Is Curry a good dancer? I actually think he is a good creative goofy dancer who really enjoys dancing. Maybe he should go on “so you think you can dance” if that show still exists.

Is Curry’s dance celebrations Taunting? I am a Warrior fan so I have no Idea how Steph’s shimmy shakes and other goofy dances feel to fans of other teams.

Is spiking the football in the end zone something rude that should be banned?

It's fun until they're doing it against your team and then it becomes really grating.

Kinda the same topic and I didn't see it mentioned here yet, but the Mavs got fined the other day for too much celebrating lol. "Infractions of team bench decorum."

How I feel about taunting is, if you don't want to be taunted, get good and stop the opposing player.

His dancing is overrated, and it's quality is artificially inflated by the league which always cuts the camera immediately away when he misses a step or shimmies awkwardly.

Taunting is such a dumb foul. Seriously, can players trash talk and show each other up anymore? Giannis got a taunting technical foul vs. the Celtics one game for, like, sneering at Horford. It was the dumbest thing ever.

The idea is to prevent fights before they happen. Taunting can lead to fights. The same reason they don't allow extravagant dunks during games

Twice, they were fined also after game 4 or 6, can't remember.

Still dumb. If you can't handle the other team taunting without you starting a fight, then stop the team from scoring (or from blocking a shot or whatever).

Curry is a great player but also a very annoying individual. The dancing the pregame shot celebrations are all too much. He acts as if he’s a child meanwhile he’s a father in his 30s, grow up dude.

People love it. So much, in fact, that the league pays off the officials to make sure the Warriors keep advancing in the post season.

It's a ratings bonanza.

I find it funny that Curry gets so much hate.

Your favorite team, plays the game they way they play, because of Curry.

Celtics and Mavs both stocked up on 3 point shooters, and launch 3's, because of Curry. He paved the way for other teams to become good. Hes basically the father of modern basketball at this point. You should probably show him more respect.

Three-point attempts per game have been gradually going up since the inception of the NBA. The massive amount of 3-point-attempts that we see today would have happened no matter what

Nope. Curry changed the game of basketball forever, and thats a pretty widely agreed upon fact.

His dancing and showboating has always been embarrassing.
