I think Curry's success and style has emboldened Lillard to take more difficult shots....like he's made it more acceptable. That said, I completely get why he'd be salty at the suggestion that he's impersonating anyone.

Nah, breh. The difference between Dame and Steph is astronomical.
No it's not. Dame is leading a team that lost 4 starters one if which is a perennial all star to playoff contention. By saying the difference is astronomical would mean that you believe the Blazers could win the title if you replaced Dame with Curry and that would just simply not be true

Dame can do everything offensively that Steph can do and is a better athlete. Name one thing that Steph can do offensively that Dame can't do.

:dwillhuh:

Curry is on another level on efficiency. They take the same shots but Steph hits them at a much better rate and more accurately.

It's like the difference between Kevin Durant and Demar Derozan or something

I fukks with dame. Once Steph's run is over, he got next in my opinion. Can do all the things Steph can do, not as consistently, and more athletic. Dude is only 25

How is Demar and KD a good comparison when KD is known for his shooting from 3 and Demar has trouble shooting from 3? :dwillhuh:

If you wanna say that you prefer Steph then that's one thing, but to say that Steph is miles better than Dame is plain false. How far do you really think that this Blazers team could go with Steph replacing Lillard?
