He’s the most “skilled” basketball player I think I’ve ever seen

I’m referencing skill as in shooting, dribbling, passing, reading the defender, etc.

Basically removing things done with athleticism from the equation. When you do, I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone as skilled as him.

The more and more I see him play, the more I am convinced that Steph Curry is

I agree. Don't tell Kerbouchard.

Great player....but not the best defensively.

I agree he isn't great defensively, just solid

kimdaddy35

Is that why they have to hide Steph on Defense every night? Too be the

You are welcome to your opinion, but just because you have a better defender on

Fun fact, Curry has 25 DWS in 9 seasons, Stockton had 64 in 19

I was surprised to see some of the dunks he was doing in the all-star

kimdaddy35

2/19/19 1:01pm

He was allowed to dunk in that game due to no defense.

WJCougar

2/19/19 1:03pm

What are you talking about?

kimdaddy35

2/19/19 1:15pm

You were talking about his dunks in the all star game, you know...

WJCougar

2/19/19 1:32pm

Did he dunk in the all-star game?

kimdaddy35

2/19/19 1:39pm

Yes...he had a dunk or two in the all star game....I thought that is...

I disagree. Here is Stockton's best year vs Curry's best year

GRCoug

2/19/19 12:57pm

Curry's gravity is what makes him so good though.

Devouring1

2/19/19 12:58pm

No. I love Stock but no.

Dillinger

2/19/19 1:01pm

Your argument is 'no'?

GRCoug

2/19/19 1:02pm

2 MVP's and 3 Rings. Should be a good enough argument.

Devouring1

2/19/19 1:04pm

For the record I think Magic was the best pg ever. I think if Steph can keep it

GRCoug

2/19/19 1:06pm

I would take Curry's shorter career over Stockton's 100 times out of 100

kimdaddy35

2/19/19 1:14pm

Best player on a 72 win team. Best shooter ever by an extremely wide margin and

Dillinger

2/19/19 1:07pm

Here's the problem. Put Curry on a team with players like Bobby Hansen, Thurl

777

2/19/19 1:19pm

Funny how Karl Malone was on the same teams and ended up with way more

kimdaddy35

2/19/19 1:23pm

Did I not mention Karl? I think I did. His argument is that Curry is the best PG

777

2/19/19 1:31pm

Curry took a starting lineup that consisted of Harrison Barnes, Andrew Bogut,

kimdaddy35

2/19/19 1:43pm

Bogut>Ostertag - Barnes>Russell - Thompson> Hornacek

777

2/19/19 1:58pm

Who cares, Curry is better than Stockton and it’s not that close.

PHXSUNS31

2/19/19 2:05pm

If curry replaced Stockton, both in prime. Utah would have a championship rn.

BYUMissouriCoug

2/19/19 4:24pm

Which they don't. Curry would have been pushed around in that era.

777

2/19/19 5:37pm

what makes you say that? do you know that steph is taller and almost 20 lbs more

POLISHcoug

2/19/19 6:18pm

Maybe you don't remember but Curry changed the NBA fairly drastically.

BYUMissouriCoug

2/19/19 10:13pm

I recall the statistic that in 2017 the Warriors had a net rating of 13 when

kimdaddy35

Hurting MVP chances sure. Like Malone hurt Stockton. But yeah his teammates

TBabyCougs

2/19/19 1:35pm

Are we discussing Point guard or Shooting guard? I don't think there are many

Sorry, one was a unanimous MVP and the other had a very good

Anyone would be crazy not to take Curry's year. Metrics rank that as one of the

Cougar TD

2/19/19 12:57pm

What would your answer be?

Devouring1

2/19/19 1:07pm

Magic Johnson, Oscar Robertson or John Stockton

Cougar TD

2/19/19 1:15pm

He wasn't even the best shooter at this year's 3-point contest.

Dakota Cougar

2/19/19 1:04pm

Joe Harris GOAT

Memmo

2/19/19 1:13pm

He has a good argument. I want KD to leave partly so we see more Curry.

JuicyJam

2/19/19 1:06pm

Amen. He was so fun to watch pre-Durant

kimdaddy35

2/19/19 1:07pm

I think he would have a great chance to win a 3rd MVP if that happens.

NorCal Cougar

2/19/19 1:10pm

Absolutely amazing that this kid from Davidson is in this conversation.

NWCoug

2/19/19 1:10pm

As opposed to a player from Gonzaga at that time?

enigomo

2/19/19 2:26pm

Definitely the most arrogant clown PG ever. And when you literally play with

Gerald-DeGroot

2/19/19 1:25pm

I think his ridiculous shooting is what makes his metrics great, not teammates.

Devouring1

2/19/19 1:28pm

Exactly. People have forgotten that Curry got his team to back-to back finals

NorCal Cougar

2/19/19 1:33pm

RE: I think his ridiculous shooting is what makes his metrics great, not

Gerald-DeGroot

2/19/19 2:07pm

I mean everything I said is fact.. so yeah.

Devouring1

2/19/19 2:14pm

Every player and media member who has been around Curry says the exact opposite.

NorCal Cougar

2/19/19 1:29pm

What about throwing said mouth guard at ref? Remember when Stockton did that?

777

2/19/19 1:34pm

Stockton didn't but he is pretty much on any list of top dirtiest players in NBA

BYUheaven

2/19/19 1:47pm

Maybe dirty (secretly physical) but not a flopper. You got that way wrong.

fulano

2/19/19 1:49pm

I probably should have phrased that differently. He was king of instigating

BYUheaven

2/19/19 1:51pm

yes he was.

fulano

2/19/19 3:16pm

Curry literally apologized for that right after the game.

Devouring1

2/19/19 1:50pm

Your bias is showing overwhelmingly. It is to the point that it is comical.

kimdaddy35

2/19/19 1:50pm

Show me a dirty video of Stockton. See if you can find one. He played tough,

777

2/19/19 2:01pm

Lol. I know what I see with my eyes. He’s annoying and is constantly showing up

Gerald-DeGroot

2/19/19 2:04pm

He's easily the most valuable player in the NBA today because he plays in such

smokymountainrain

2/19/19 1:52pm

He's the GOAT of mouth guard chewing, that's for sure. Amazing talent.

bacon

2/19/19 1:53pm

Imagine the only reason people have to hate you is cause of a mouthguard.

Devouring1

2/19/19 1:55pm

I sort of agree but am reserved - if he played in the 90's Steph would get

BYUfan92

2/19/19 1:59pm

Dillinger

2/19/19 2:03pm

No, he’d hang out 25-30 feet from the hoop and take wide open 3’s

PHXSUNS31

2/19/19 2:07pm

I look at it the other way, defenders would be handchecking him and begging him

BYUfan92

2/19/19 2:55pm

I like how old school guys single out 1 series or 1 play and act like that was

Dillinger

2/19/19 3:09pm

You can watch an old school Pistons 90s defense and see a lot more than 1 if you

BYUfan92

2/19/19 4:09pm

Fouls werent called? Give me a break. Jordan shot more than Harden in 87.

I watch a lot of games from back then, they are readily available. The D was

2/19/19 4:16pm

Plus D is more sophisticated now just based on rules. In the 90s they had

TBabyCougs

2/19/19 10:07pm

My point is he wouldn’t have to drive to the hoop

PHXSUNS31

2/19/19 3:16pm

He would get to the rim and finish at a very high % just like he does now.

Dillinger

2/19/19 3:32pm

I agree, he might take more hard fouls, but he’d have more uncontested layups to

PHXSUNS31

2/19/19 3:44pm

Theres no question he make outside shots, greatest shooter ever IMO but I'm

BYUfan92

2/19/19 4:06pm

Uhhh no I am pretty sure he would shoot 44% from 3 on 12 attempts per game

Devouring1

2/19/19 2:12pm

Could you imagine, lol dude would train buckets all day

Dissenter

2/19/19 2:14pm

If he wasnt being mugged, or ran over by a big PG backing him down under the

BYUfan92

2/19/19 3:01pm

Whoa! Greatest PG of all-time?? I guess that depends on your definition of point

Nagurski

2/19/19 2:49pm

Why do you have to define point guard so narrowly?

PHXSUNS31

2/19/19 3:21pm

Because for decades that was the standard definition of a point guard.

Nagurski

2/20/19 7:41am

It was the primary role, just seems silly to rate them based on a specific skill

PHXSUNS31

2/20/19 10:36am

All I am saying is that even though they played the same position doesn't

Nagurski

2/20/19 3:12pm

That’s fair...we don’t need get lost in the details

PHXSUNS31

2/20/19 3:20pm

I think they both are great fits for the era and teams

Nagurski

2/20/19 5:26pm

Is this a troll attempt? He doesn’t even have the best handles in the NBA now.

Lieutenant America

2/19/19 3:12pm

There’s not a conversation, Curry is the best shooter ever.

PHXSUNS31

2/19/19 3:24pm

I don’t think of Golden St as a defensive team

MajorZeus

2/19/19 8:47pm

Golden State was the #1 rated defense in the league before Durant
