Westbrook takes more shots then Durant and at a lower FG%, that's all you need to know about him vs. Rondo
Don't sleep on Stephen Curry making the transition into an elite PG in '12/'13

No it isn't. You know very damn well he wouldn't be putting up shots like that on the Celtics.
at anyone putting Rondo over Russ

Curry isn't even the best point guard on his team..I don't know why yall get so obsessed with pigeon holing players onto these labels..
He's their best player by far and a beast.. Thats all that matters..
I don't know why yall get so obssesed with degrading a player because he doesn't fit your stereotypical/traditional role of what a PG is. shyt is the near-equivalent to some elitist cac shytting on black QBs.

So saying someone is the best player on their team by far is "degrading" to you?
The problem is the current PG position HAS become viewed as a glamour position like QB..When it's not.. It's just one of 5 positions...I don't see why people take it as such an insult when it gets pointed out that, it's just not a certain players strength..
It's like Rose being the MVP and one of the top highest paid players in the league isn't enough..He has to be viewed as an elite point guard..
It just is what it is..Call it stereotyping or tradition but the game is the game.. If D. Howard can be criticized for not being a "traditional" center, or we can point out how Ryan Anderson isn't a tradition power forward, I don't see what makes these point guards above reproach..
The PG's main priority is to distribute and protect the ball (with defending the 1 spot a distant 3rd)..Jack is ranked 14th in the league in AST/TO ratio and Curry is ranked 40th (Mario Chalmers is ranked ahead of him)...
When Kenny Smith was asked after the game who Curry reminds him of most his answer wasn't Isaiah, Rod Strickland or CP3.. It was Mahmoud Abdul Rauf...And I agree...
The list of potential all star level point guards in the league now is about 15-20...The list for shooting guards is less than 5....
But nobody wants to be A.I., Hersey Hawkins or Dumars anymore.. Everyone wants to be CP3...I don't get it.. You are your skillset (not the position listed in the program)
Curry just introduced himself to America last night. The days of having a pure point guard are over so Curry fits in very well in todays NBA. He is a good ballhandler and a decent passer and he actually looks to pass the ball so point is his best position. Having a Rondo who just looks to pass is rare now, look around the league and every team pretty much has a shoot first point guard now. Back in the day ur best points probably averaged something like 10-15 and 8-10 assists. Now a lot of them are 22 and 6 players or 20 and 7 types.

Bob Knight disagrees. He says he's as good of a passer that has ever played college basketball.

It's true though. Curry isn't a decent passer, he's a GREAT passer. Also, outside of Steve Nash, nobody in the league makes passes as fluidly using either hand.
I love his game, dudes jumper is just beautiful, so effortless looking and the rotation on the ball is insane.
The only thing that ever stopped him from being mentioned as a top 5 PG were his ankles
That seems to have been cleared up.
