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

Good golly.

I agree. Don't tell Kerbouchard.

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

WJCougar

2/19/19 12:52pm

I agree he isn't great defensively, just solid

kimdaddy35

2/19/19 12:59pm

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

2/19/19 1:33pm

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

kimdaddy35

2/19/19 1:55pm

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

PHXSUNS31

2/19/19 2:01pm

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

RdF3

2/19/19 12:53pm

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...

WJCougar

2/19/19 2:46pm

and the most skilled at chewing his mouth guard

Mayor of Cougartown

2/19/19 1:04pm

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

2/19/19 1:46pm

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

Thats literally one of the best seasons by any player ever

Dissenter

2/19/19 1:54pm

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

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

DetmerForever

2/19/19 1:52pm

i think i probably agree. and while his all-around game - defense/rebounding -

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.

Devouring1

2/19/19 4:13pm

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

Dillinger

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
