Stephen Curry in NBA 2K

Re: Stephen Curry in NBA 2K

What I find most crazy about Curry is how much better he is than his dad, usually the sons can't compete at or above their dad's level being a 2nd or 3rd generation athlete. Imagine if Jordan's sons were better than him, or Hardaway JR.

Dell Curry hasn't set some high standard to reach to be honest, Jordan is GOAT and it was nearly impossible for his son to ever reach that level (well he can promote his shoes at least lol) while Tim Hardaway also set high bar for his son, i was expecting more from Glenn Robinson jr tbh.

Re: Stephen Curry in NBA 2K

Like others have said I don't want to debate but Curry is a better three point shooter than Jordan easily as well as a better free throw shooter but him shooting better inside than peak Jordan means nothing considering what type of defense Jordan went against. The shot blockers in that era add to that the fact there was no defensive 3 seconds.

Oh you mean the defense where you were forced to play 1v1 and not have any help defense? Yeaaaah about that...I consider that worse than todays defense. Hop off they nostalgia train. I love 90s as much as the next guy but please.

Stephen Curry would not have a ring if either Kyrie or Love had played.

hahahhahHAHAHa how has the two games this season worked out for the Cavs with kyrie and love and lebron? oh yea THEY LOST and one in Cleveland by 34 points! Now you're talking out of your a**. Can you not see how much of a negative nancy you are? Curry shouldnt have won mvp, currys not an elite finisher, curry is going to hypothetically get bad, curry shouldnt have a ring, curry kidnapped my cat, curry is why im an idiot. Thats ok, the rest of us can sit back and enjoy his historic season and watch the warriors bring home another ring.

Last year, LeBron James averaged 35/13/9 and pretty much singlehandedly won 2 games for the cavs. Kyrie would cook steph on defense, because Steph isn't a very good defender. Love would have provided more rebounding and floor spacing. I never said Curry would be a bad player, I think he might not play quite as well as be has this year. He might go back to putting up 24 and being worthy of being an all star backup. He should not have won MVP last year. His supporting cast and his teams system are so good, they could probably be a 6-8 seed without Curry. Harden completely carried Houston last year so he should have got it. Did you watch the finals last year? Do you watch anything but Curry's mixtapes of his threes? Not every shot he makes is from 35 feet, or contested, he gets a lot of good looks off of screens, because his team is amazing at moving the ball. The cavs got blown out, yes. But the Warriors got blown out by Portland. Would Portland win in 7? You can't make conclusions based on one blowout, especially when the first game was so close.

Re: Stephen Curry in NBA 2K

Oh my goodness. You clearly don't pay basketball. LeBron isn't a hard worker? He has no handle or court vision? Jumper, yes he's lost it, although remember he was shooting 38%+ from 3pt with Miami. But he is the best passing forward in the history of basketball. I mean come on. He averages about the same amount of assists as Curry for his career. LeBron choked once, in a couple games of those 2011 finals. But Curry was nowhere to be found for the first couple of games in 2015. As far as being carried, clearly you didn't watch the 2012 and 2013 playoffs. Do you remember LeBron putting up 45/15/5 in game 6 vs Boston? How about the 31/12, with that dagger contested 27 footer? How about him averaging 28/10/7 in the finals? Wade and Bosh helped, but LeBron was the man. 2013: 25/11/7 in the finals, with 37 in game 7, plus that dagger fade over Kawhi? Are you kidding me? And don't try to bring up last year, because LeBron had absolutely no help. He put up 36/13/9 and his team was so bad, they still went down. Stephen Curry would not have a ring if either Kyrie or Love had played. And don't say that Curry carried his team. He went 5/23 in game 2 and 8/19 in the closeout game. He had so much help from that insanely deep squad. Why are you such a LeBron *****?

I didn't say no handles, I said worse than Curry. Court vision wise IMO Curry's court vision is better. Assist is a meaningless stat when talking about passing ability and court vision. Westbrook is averaging a higher AST number than CP3 this year, does that mean WB has better court vision and passing ability than CP3 this year? See how ridiculous that sounds?

Curry averages less AST/game, but has double the secondary assist of LeBron, meaning he facilitates the offense more. Major reason for why Draymond Green's AST numbers jumped so much.

Which facets of LeBron's game has improved compared to when he carried the Cavs to the first finals?

You said LeBron doesn't have a serviceable handle, he clearly does, as he runs point quite a bit. Don't try to switch up what you said because you realize how asinine your initial statement was. LeBron has better court vision than Curry does, look at some of the passes LeBron makes. Westbrook's court vision isn't quite as good as Paul's, but don't sleep on Russ, he is an elite point guard now.

I never said his team wasnt amazing, Yea i watch steph play unlike you, we will see how well Kyrie and love help the cavs this year if they make it to the finals. If kyrie and love wouldve helped so much why arent the cavs winning more this season? You're gonna sit here and tell me the cavs are better than the warriors? really? They arent better than the warriors or spurs or thunder.
Harden for sure carried the rockets last year but you think that having a good team should disqualify you from the MVP race? So take all the mvps from jordan because he had a good team and give them to guys that were on a mediocre team that were carried by one guy. grow a brain

The cavs are first in the East you ****ing moron. They are winning. Granted, LeBron does tie that team together. I think they can beat the warriors in 7 if LeBron steps up in the playoffs like he usually does and Steph and Klay disappear for a couple games again. The cavs would beat the thunder in 7, the Spurs would be tough though. I'm not talking about Jordan's MVPS here. The warriors without Curry imo would be a 6 or 7 seed once they figured things out, but Hardens rockets last year would have been awful without Harden.

Youre not talking about jordans mvps but your idiotic logic of giving it to the guy who carried his team is what im talking about and trying to show you how dumb that is because jordans bulls minus jordan is a playoff(proven by the two years he played baseball) team like the warriors without curry, so give those mvps to someone else too. Yea duh the cavs are number one in the east but theyd be 4th seed at best in the west you ****ing moron.

You're obtuseness hurts my brain. Keep being the guy that "doesnt get it" when it comes to curry. Ill come say hi again when the warriors are hoisting their second trophy and curry his second mvp

But Jordan averaged 30+. Curry deserves MVP this year, but last year's 24 and 8 wasn't MVP worthy. You're a ****** if you think 24/4/8>27/6/7 or even Russ 28/7/10. Russ should have been above Curry in MVP voting, he wasn't because of the dickriding and because they were the 9 seed.

When you realize that Davis 3 point buzzer took OKC away from playoffs it's even more tragic lol.

I would have loved to see what Russ put up last playoffs. They would've lost, but still.

Lol @ LeBron having a good handle. His handles is serviceable for somebody of his physique and athleticism, but that doesn't mean his handles are good.

Also being a point doesn't necessary mean you have great handles. Magic was a legendary point, but his handles was nothing to brag about.

Look at some of the no look passes and lobs Curry makes. I can also throw out highlights all day. Fact of the matter is, Curry initiate GSW's offense, the most efficient offense today. Curry consistently makes the right pass, not just the assist pass. Also, the way GSW moves the ball quickly, although he makes the right pass it won't count as an assist due to the ball finding a better shot elsewhere. GSW is all about giving up a good shot for a great shot, so individual AST numbers are naturally lower, but team AST numbers are historic.

So no, LeBron's court vision is not better than Curry. Curry plays in a system where naturally his AST numbers will be lower. That's expected.

You confuse handle and crossover. LeBron doesn't have the crossover that Curry does, because he doesn't need it. Also, you said his handle wasn't even serviceable earlier.
