AROUND THE NBA DECEMBER TO REMEMBER EDITION (1 Viewer)

It is weird that he doesn't even shoot 50% on three-pointers and yet people think he's any good.

Even Kerr with his career-best 45.4% percentage sucks. That suckage must have rubbed off on Curry.

At least Kerr shot above 50% from three in 4 seasons.

I wonder how Lillard and Curry would look like if we switch the teams. Lillard in GS with Klay and Draymond...

You do realize the entire NBA viewed three point shooting differently back then right?
Defenses didn’t defend the three the same way they do now. It wasn’t considered as a real good shot back then.
I would be willing to bet both Curry and Lillard would shoot lights out if they were playing in the early 90’s. 50% would not be a question.

I still can't believe Olshey wouldn't trade Lillard for Curry.

Eddie Curry is washed up!

 

[Strenuus]

Curry is better than Lillard and it's not even an argument. Curry completely changed the game.

But I love Lillard more because I connect with him more. But, it should he hearlded that two of the greatest NBA players in the last 25 years are also two of the most humble.

That's why I never get into the curry/Lillard who is better stuff. It's clear who is but they are both winners in their respective ways.

I guess Freedom decided to let go of that Rockefeller he was dating and go for a little bit more pizazz:https://larrybrownsports.com/basketball/enes-kanter-freedom-dating-instagram-model-emily-sears/589249

Curry is to Dame as Kobe was to B-Roy and Jordan was to Drexler.

I think that's fair. Though I think there was a better #2 to Kobe than B-roy, I just can't think of who. I know that may stir up some shit but I think there could be a conversation about other players there. Whereas with Jordan/drexler and curry/Lillard that's spot on.

Was Gasol better than La Benedict?

 

[Minstrel]

I think that's fair. Though I think there was a better #2 to Kobe than B-roy, I just can't think of who.

Maybe Tracy McGrady. I actually think they were pretty equivalent talents, until McGrady's back injuries sapped his abilities. So maybe he's not the best choice. Vince Carter?

At the time Kobe claimed BRoy was number 2, some Wade fans were upset about it.

Yeah. That's super high praise and I remember that. But there is at least a conversation to be had for that era.

dwade was always the second best sg of this era after Kobe

conversation of wade vs Broy?

I loved Brandon but it’s not even close. There should be no conversation.

Problem is they all thought they were getting a free ride to a championship, but when a majority of a team is there for a free ride, there isn't enough players who are actually doing anything to get to the trophy.

 

[Strenuus]

conversation of wade vs Broy?

No..I was reiterating about Kobe vs who was #2 in that era. Not broy and wade.

 

[illmatic99]

I would give up our whole team and picks for eternity to pair Jaylen Brown with Dame

Gary Payton II sits on Blazers bench and can’t get a playing time now a Christmas Day starter for the Warriors… amazing

 

[illmatic99]

Such a high level basketball game. Jealous

 

[wizenheimer]

Such a high level basketball game. Jealous

yeh...as a basketball fan this is high level entertainment

as a Blazer fan it's demoralizing to know how far away the Blazers are from this kind of play

 

[DDolla]

So true… defense offense passing exciting game playoff atmosphere.

Gary Payton II is better than Blevins, McClemore and Simons combined

He's much more mature. He has a job and he does it. Stotts could not have developed him into what we are seeing now.

 

[DDolla]

Warriors are so fun to watch. No Klay No Wiseman, No Wiggins No Problem
