Are we allowed to talk about how godly KD has been or nah?

I think Karma's the reason why the Rockets mysteriously suck ass now after Durant came back from injury.

Good effort, but most of them said SHOOTER, not scorer

brehs i wasn't trying to even start shyt, he just asked for receipts. i didn't even pay attention to the scorer/shooter part. it's exams and im tired

my bad for those of you i misquoted.

id still put up durant as a better shooter though. he's deadly from everywhere, just not as consistent from deep. And by not as consistent i mean curry shoots 46% while durant is "only" shooting 44% from deep.

Imagine my confusion when I see that I was quoted in a thread that I didn't post in and then on top of that something that I never said is attributed to me . Get some rest breh.

I guess people have become numb to his consistent level of greatness over the years. It'll take a dominant run through the PS, which we really haven't seen since '12, to wake people up.


Who is limited to 3PT shots? Are we comparing Kyle Korver to those five or what

you see how many screens they do for steph? constantly has 2-3 screen to free him and allow for easy paint shots..

he is not on the level offensively as those guys.. but he is the better shooter.. by far

His elite touch, ability to finish comfortably with either hand & instinctual cuts have more to do with his finishing rate than anything. He's been one of the best in the paint for the last two seasons, & it's that combined with the per shooting that makes him a dominant offensive player.

Lot of season left, but I'd say he's on the level of them all offensively in terms of impact. His team is on pace to have the greatest offense in NBA history according to relative oRTG, in huge part due to his on/off ball versatility and near unparalled volume+efficiency.

dude.. do you even understand screens? the freaking screens blocks the defender.. if he goes over the first one.. and wobbling to get to steph the second screen usually gets them.

this is why cavs are successful at defending it.. they stop the 2nd screen and defend the screener..

but a lot of teams runs this for point guard.. he makes the most shots..

but he is NOT like kyrie where he takes multiple people off the dribble.. when it happens its instant highlight.. when kyrie does it... you gotta pick the best looking one.

Screens are an integral part of basketball, not sure why that's relevant or how it takes away from Curry's ability to finish in the paint at an elite level. Even in isolation he's able to use how tightly defenders guard him to his advantage and blow by for a layup attempt. Proven to be a very good finisher in traffic as well.

screens makes easy... its not the same as an iso play where your take your defender off the drible then attack the rim defender..

i am not saying curry cant do it.. i am saying its not his offense.. his offense is mainly his shot and coming off screens

the guy gets a screen any direction he goes.

You're a cornball who doesn't know what they're talking about.

Most of these plays are him breaking his defender off the dribble/splitting double teams, getting into the lane or shooting jumpers without the use of screens.

This nikka put up a video titled "Steph Curry Ball Screens" as if it was not going to literally show ALL scores off screens .

Please watch games fam, Steph dominates the small amount of isolations he gets. It's only a small amount cause he is literally doubled as soon as he crosses half court. Of course he gets a lot of screens, its the only way to open up the court for him when he is doubled damn near every possession.

ISO is the most inefficient play in basketball. And Steph is the best at creating space off the dribble and getting his shot off. Look at the his unassisted numbers.
