Steph

I laughed out loud when they showed that show... I was like, "I know Paul... I know... It ain't right"

This needs to become a meme like crying Jordan.

It's already becoming one. It was trending on facebook.

To me that is Paul thinking..."what would it take to buy this kid"

This better be the caption contest for game 5!

Considering I haven't seen that... I mean, Steph isn't a bad guy, I think. Klay or Draymond just are. They rub me the wrong way (and continually confirm it every time they talk).

Steph is cocky, not arrogant. And if Dame can do the "What time is it?" wrist tap, then it'd be hypocritical to say it's wrong for Steph to do something similar.

Thanks, btw!

I dont have a problem witb it in a sense i think they shouldnt be able to taunt. I have a problem that he did it my house and backed it up. I can respect it and still hate his fucking guts for shitting on my day, just like i love it when lillard shits on other fans days.

I have my issues with him, mainly that you can't play psychical with him and that the dude benefits so much from moving and double screens, dude is practically wide open 70% of the time.

This. He' a really good 3pt shooter who is propped up by a corrupt league. Steve Kerr was as good or better than him across the board.

you gotta be kidding me. You think Curry is just a 3pt shooter ?

What!? Even if hand checking would have made things more difficult, defenses having to play man to man and illegal defense would have helped him. Today, the best way to stop or slow him is to trap and that wouldn't be possible back then. The guy is super creative and had the highest FG% in the league on layups, he could roast straight man to man D.

 

[Chris Craig]

He won the MVP. First unanimous. Well deserved.

Good for him

 

[Chris Craig]

They need to call that cheap ass holding that's always going on, Thompson and Green holding jerseys,blocking arms so out guys can't move...saw curry do as soon as he came in game 4, couldn't keep up with Dame, was clawing his jersey to stop him

FWIW and this was in March but there is still something there ....

The fact that nobody has managed to get a fingertip on even one of Curry's threes is ridiculous. In every single Warriors game, the opposing defense exerts all their energy to stop him. They switch ball screens and throw long-limbed stoppers like Anthony Davis, LaMarcus Aldridge and Kevin Durant in his face. None of it matters.

Curry is shooting 40.6 percent when his closest defender is between two and four feet, per SportVU. How unbelievable is that? As a comparison, Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard — the closest thing to a Curry clone the NBA has — is 10.4 percent behind.

The best thing about Steph is that David Kahn passed on him, twice.

imagine if the wolves would have drafted Curry and Derozan.... that team would have been pretty good. however, it is the Timberwolves, so they could have been doomed, lol.

What, you don't want a guy who supposedly made 77 straight 3s in practice to play????

I've made more than that and believe me when I say I cannot play a lick of basketball.

The 3 pointer is the easiest shot in the game if you've got depth perception and focus.

You've made more than 77 straight threes? In a row? without missing????

Pretty sure I did. Wouldn't bet my house on the exact number as it's been decades since I spent any time shooting hoops.
I am sure thousands of people have shot more. Ask Meyers Leonard to show you the basics and hit the gym for awhile. Way easier than free throws, for me anyway. Once made 42 hook shots as a kid from behind the arc. I never learned to dribble worth shit though, was short as a fire hydrant, and never played the game in a league.

I'm no @MARIS61 apparently but I made 17 threes in a row earlier today. If I could spend hours every single day shooting threes I bet I could make it to 77 before I died.

I don't want to alarm you, but based on your testimony, you have, or had, a lot of basketball skill and should probably, at least, play in some high-level rec league.

as a kid back in the early 80s my friend used to take me to the Jewish Community Center to shoot hoops. Occasionally Blazers would show up with a ball boy to hone their shooting. On separate occations I saw Jim Paxson & Drazen Petrovic go on shooting runs that probably tallied that high. They'd miss one and then can the next 45, miss another & then start another ridiculous run just raining deep bombs over & over & over.

Not that 77 in a row isn't impressive, but Steph's not the only one who can fill it like that... I'd guess both CJ & Dame can too

YeH I think they could get up there! Most I've made is 23 in a row.. My forms too inconsistent to improve from there though. If it was I know I could get past 40.

I hit 23 also, I think I have the same problem, I just can't stick to one stroke, I blame playing horse so much as a kid.

It ducks for me. As a 6'5 JC player if I could take that next step I could pay at a higher level. Still got time but I can never get comfortable..

I was always a good shooter/scorer, but I never counted shots in a row I made in games or in practice. To be at my best in any sport I try to live in the moment and focus solely on the game itself. Thinking about how many points I'd scored or reflecting on sweet plays while the game was still going is a sure way to derail my mojo & game. Same thing practicing. Counting shots in a row that I'd made is a sure way to stop the count. Maybe just me...

I like shooting sets of 5 from 5 spots (corner, wing, top, wing, corner). Told the kid rebounding that I was aiming for 20 of 25 (80%). Missed the first two, so the kid said I wouldn't get 20. I promptly buried the final 23.

Nope. Can't dribble, took weak to block out, my vertical leaving ability is about 6 inches and have blurred vision in my right eye. I'm an average passer if there's no defensive pressure but can't get my shot up quick enough to play inside the arc.

Also, despite 12 years of coaching winning baseball teams including a 1 point loss at the State finals, I sucked coaching Boys Club basketball. Our first 2 quarters of our first game had us up 49-25 and we lost the game by 1 point. Got blown out the rest of the season.
