Team GSW and will be so for the foreseeable future.
Alright, what do you have to say about the sixers draft, last it was okafor, now its ben simmons.. They're getting the best draft, taking the young talented NCAA players, if they keep on getting them, and they step up together, dont you think it wld be a threat in the NBA?

They traded Okafor and kept Noel.. Apart from that, they still need experience which cannot be drafted. They need on court adult/mature presence.

they are only saying what everybody is thinking.
Only those who think 30ppg, 7A, 3.5steals per game In a season isn't elite.. He played bad in the finals but still doesn't take away what he achieved over a 82game run.. So it's not what everybody thinks. It's what and how the social media wants to troll him so bad. Which brings me to ask; you also agree with them??

I never let such things bother me. Jordan was trolled in 95 when he returned from his hiatus. I remember Horace Grant saying the only Jordan he knew was the number 23. That he didn't know who the number 45 was. In fact, Jordan changed his number back to 23 because of that game.
What many of those oldies were lucky not to have experienced is social media and it's effect. Trolls with short memory can just come and type any rubbish and be cool.
Kyrie was not existent games 1 & 2. Played ball game 3 &4 but was outplayed by Curry in game 4. Then he played ball in 5 but again was outplayed by curry in 6 (only that GSW lost). Then Kyrie outplays him in game 7 and voila is elite. But someone who averaged 30ppg in 79 games with 7 assists and 3 steals etc is not elite.
Even about Westbrook, Curry out-scored him games 2, 5,6,7 but somehow trolls still say nonsense about him. It is so funny.
It's just funny. Even down to Jeff Teague. Lol. Everyone knows ESPN.. Whatever sells as long as Bron Bron is involved.

Tbh, I don't think this year's draft picks were any fantastic. Sure there are good players here and there but I didn't see anyone that could single-handedly upturn the fate of a whole franchise like Bron, Bird, Magic, Jordan etc.

Ben Simmons doesn't shoot well. He is still inexperienced and the sixers (Like Smoosh said) still need vets. I don't think they will win more than 15 games the following season. The team is still shallow.

Curry belongs to the Rondo, dellavadova,reggie Jackson class of the league.

You warriors,are quick to find beef in everything,this was clearly a mistake.
Curry has gotten more coverage from ESPN in the last two season than any another player.

You obviously don't know what you're talking about, don't watch the game at all or just hate him in general.. Curry belongs to Rondo, Delly league, you're joking Mr Man. If you're talking Elite PGs you mention Curry, Chris Paul, Westbrook.

Michael Carter Williams is better than Curry?? cheesy cheesy And where is MCW right now when Curry is bagging MVP? Pelicans after been tossed around like tissue. Rookie of the year? Lol I guess that's the greatest achievement for a player. If you're talking top 15PGs he's not among. I don't know what part of the TV you watch.. Or you just always want to counter whatever is mentioned about GSW. First it was Barnes, Now Curry. If you don't know about something, don't try to form ideas or whatever. Just ignore..
And by the way Curry's 68.1% in midrange, tell me any PG who has such efficiency since you don't think 3pts is shit.
2X MVP.. Call us when any of your Elites are make 1st team All NBA.

The body of bronbron is a great asset. But a body does not distribute so much assists, does not help in pass quality and vision, does not steal balls, and does not necessarily inspire leadership.

I am also a curry fan ( I hate no great player) but as of now, his balling is unidimensional, which is not in itself a problem. Nothing prevents him from diversifying later on.

If you remove curry's and lebron's scoring abilities, which of both do you think a great coach will choose his team?

For those who have limited knowledge of the game, pls before you say stuffs u ain't sure of or support @SirCumlot argument against Curry, just know this....few players in recent years are bn compared/have their name mention alongside the legendary god of basketball, Jordan. Kobe, Tracy, Lebron, Durant, Curry. Few teams in recent years were/are having their name alongside the legendary 96 bulls team, Wade led Miami's team(with his first love lebron), Shaq led Lakers team (with Kobe), Curry led warrior's team (with Klay). Only team to break the 96 bulls record and sits on the throne is the warriors led by the unanimous voted mvp.

Now for someone to come here and disregard all this and what he does as a skillful bb player, and have him in same league with Rondo, Jeff teague....even going further to say MCW is better?
You should he's either joking or .....

Curry is the best pg in the league. He bleeped up in the finals but he'll be back. He's too humble to say the injury prevented him from playing his best but we know. CP, Westbrook, Durant to name a few had been failing in the playoff for years now, should we now say they're average? James ran to Wade and Bosh to stop failing and ran to a promising Irving the moment he realized it's fading in miami, does this makes him average as well?

someone even said take away his jumper what is left. My dear in this league you must have something substantial working for you and making it better than everyone else wud give u a spot on the top.

When Durant's jumper ddn't fall in WCF he was trash. Lebron was also trash wen he refused to use his body to drive to the basket and take control (so take away Lebron's body then he is a role player, same with durant's) we all also saw Kobe's decline when he turned into Kobrick!

Curry isn't athletic, but he even drives more to the basket for that sweet layup as well as most pg's in the league. Only pg ranked among bigs in points around the rim percentage.

Noone can imagine how a lanky, non athletic dude can dominate the league so well for two straight seasons.

But we all know he has mastered the 3point shot so well, he is the best ever. And you want to take that away from him?

His team broke almost every record in the book and set new ones led by this same Curry and his game is one dimensional? angry

Most people are only playoffs wagoners, they never watched a regular season game, but just come in to analyze whatever undecided

Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 9:23am On Jun 25, 2016
To add to it, Curry is athletic cheesy Not big or bulky but he's strong.. I'm sure most people haven't seen him workout.. When talking that bench press and dead lift, he's behind Festus who's the strongest on the team.. Only he doesn't have that body mass to drive cry.. Only ignorants will trash his 3pts or someone who's 68% in the arc.. undecided

My top PGs
Curry
Chris Paul
Westbrook
Lillard
John Wall
Lowry
Irving
Rondo
Tony Parker
Isaiah Thomas

My take tho.. And we still have Brandon Jennings, Jeremy Lin, Conley, D rose etc..

If you're trolling do it like an elite with class and fact.

Give up? when?? where??

how many times did he get injured in a game and comes back from the locker room?? overtime against Portland, against OKC regular season with the clutch shot after Westbrook accidentally stepped on his ankle in sec quarter and Green had 8pts, or 3-1 Playoff vs OKC?? Or when he was thrown out Game 6 vs Cavs when the refs knew they had a chance??
He's an average on defense agreed like most PGs but he never Gave up..
