Re: Does Steph Curry Justify Greater Than an 99 Overall Rating?

I ask why you qualify stats for Curry: e.g. "Good rebounder for his size"

And you respond with another qualification of rebounding "among point guards."

If we are talking about greatest ever you have to leave out the qualifications.

I mean if we are going to use qualifications then Manute Bol was #1 in:
Rebounding
Scoring
Steals
Assists
Etc. of all 7'6" black NBA players. So maybe he needs a 99 too?

Such a dumb post.

No please, let's not use context when analyzing stats. Anything but that!

I said he was third among point guards in RPG. The position you play is extremely relevant to how good you are in a facet of basketball. Dear Lord. I shouldn't even need type that out.

I just think it's funny that Curry fanboys think scoring and scoring efficiently = greatest NBA season ever. Cause you know, scoring is the only thing that matters in terms of a great season.

Please don't use ESPN articles as reference to anything. ESPN is bunch of bandwagon writers and publishers, they even introduced heat index article during time when LeBron was on Heat roster, now they analyze every little thing around Warriors basketball or not basketball related.

Plus if you go to ESPN page you will see articles how Drake is annoying fan, even labelling Drake as 'greatest rapper alive', lol i could go on and on about ESPN credibility and lack of the same. As for the Curry defense and his rebound numbers, they are fine. People just don't understand that Warriors are well oiled machine that works great as team.

Being fan of BK Nets i am glad to see they find useful our ex player Livingston, that same Livingston was zero factor in our team but in GSW he is part of system, small part but part nontheless. They developed good system where players compliment each other and help each other, even scrub like Ian Clark look useful in their system.

ESPN isn't the only article that backs this up tho


You just don't like curry I think lol

Plus your Livingston comment is kind of silly because he's just as effective with the nets as he is with GS right now .n


Only thing different from BK to GS stats are the mins played , 3 points per game more and just a slight dip in efficiency .

BK

26 mpg


8.3 ppg

48% FG

3.3 apg

1.2 spg

GS
2 seasons


19 mpg

6.1 ppg

51%

3.2 apg

Livingston has always been solid in his career and has played the same way . Thing is he's just been on the best team in the league two years in a row and people actually notice now .

He's not the same guy he use to be anyway because of his knee .

But in our system in BKN Livingston was mediocre at defense, maybe we can account that GSW help defense is 10 times better than ours tho.

Re: Does Steph Curry Justify Greater Than an 99 Overall Rating?

This thread really became annoying comparison & unnecessary fuss about some things & stats. To make it clear Steph Curry doesn't justify greater overall than 99, not even 99. For him to justify that rating (99 or greater than 99) he should be playing D like Kawhi, rebound like Drummond, pass the ball like Nash & be athletic like Westbrook, such mixture of skills in one player along with his 3pt proficency doesn't exist and here ends any possible conversation about this nonsense topic.

I know I said I'm done, but I just can't help myself. So are you saying Jordan shouldn't be a 99? Because he wasn't all of those things. If you are, then you 100% have an argument.

Kind of being a huge bigot. You realize that, right?

By the standards i wrote in my post i would give Jordan 98 rating, 99 seems so cheesy & corny and even GOAT had flaws. But let's say 98 rating would be close to perfect player but certainly not perfect !

Re: Does Steph Curry Justify Greater Than an 99 Overall Rating?

You guys keep insinuating 99 is perfect but it's not. 99/100 does not equal 100%. Like I stated, you can't create a player with a 100 rating in 2K and that's how it should be. 99 is the closest thing to the perfect basketball player...which was MJ.

Finally we're on common ground. I can't argue consistency.

And Curry.

And Curry.

What part of he's not an elite defender don't you understand? Seriously...

And what part of "Curry is a good defender and makes up for not being an elite defender by being the greatest scorer ever" do you not understand?

Also, I'm not saying this would make Curry a much better defender, but again you can argue that no hand check helps Curry score (which is mostly false). But it also helped Jordan be a great defender.

His highlight reels are full of him using his forearm/hands to impede progress to the basket.

So should Steve Nash be a 99 OVR too since his shooting and playmaking was so good that it made up for not being a good defender? You don't rate a guy 99 OVR just because he's really good at one area. Basketball is played both ways. Even being the GOAT on offense isn't justification for a 99 rating when he doesn't even have above average defensive ability.

Well no because Curry is better than Nash was on offense and defense.

And he is AT LEAST an above average defender.
