    I have to say, I absolutely hate the way this guy plays basketball. I hate the shots he takes. But I can't help but watch. It's like a magic trick. You sit there and think,"How the hell did that happen?" He deserves it. He deserves the praise he gets. I just hate that his reckless play works so well for him and that team. It just shouldn't happen.
    He's made me think about what it means to be reckless. In basketball terms, I figure it's when a guy tries to make plays that stand to potentially harm his team due to his own substandard ability to succeed in whatever he's attempting.

    Given that Curry can make just about any shot from just about any spot inside half court (and sometimes beyond), his ability would seem to transcend recklessness and flow into being status quo, just like any other revolutionary advances to the game that were at one time novel and/or generally non-existent.

    And I don't say any of that as of means of combating what you said, Boge. I know what you're saying. Just a few key words you used made me think aloud.

      We are more shock when he misses than when he makes those crazy shots. Also I think the players voting Harden as MVP. That fuel the fire for the Curry and the Warriors for that matter. Told last year was a lucky year. So they go out and make history. I still don't know if they will win it all. Because Cleveland and OKC and Spurs are damn good. But if they do what a year.


      Also Rememeber how fans in the Bay Area said we should have traded Curry over Monte. Don't hear much about that anymore. They felt his ankles would be an issue.

      Also why is it called the Kia MVP? They said nothing about the NBA MVP lol. Nice move Kia.

        And what does T-Mac mean when he says the NBA is watered down?

        In what sense? Superstars? Teams? Style of play?

                Overall execution. Most guys can't even execute a proper jump stop when closing out on a shooter anymore. The quality of play has gone down a tick in the past five years or so. The truth is that in the mid 90s when high schoolers flooded the game it really dumbed everything down.

                        Yes, I'm sure Tracy McGrady is outraged at the lack of proper jump stops in the game today.

                          I think Dave DeBusschere is more outraged.

                            Probably means any league where the MVP is a short guy who can't jump can't be that good.

                            Wonder what his cousin Vince Carter thinks of the way the league is now.

                            He saw Curry boys grow up, always coming to practices with their father when he played in Toronto with Vince.

                                Dude won unanimous MVP because he was easily one of the top players in the league, led the league in scoring, was a walking highlight real, and his team won 73 games..

                                League definitely isn't low on or void of talent.. That's a damn joke.
