Dead fukking serious and I love Zeke (As a player). Hell, he's probably the PG on my dream team (Magic is better, overall, but my dream team fits with Zeke better plus his defense) but he's nowhere NEAR Curry as a scorer.

Wanna argue that Zeke's overall impact is higher than Curry's right now? Sure, I can listen to that because Zeke was an amazing defender, playmaker, and scorer in his own right.

But as a scorer? Curry is better and it's not even a discussion. 10% higher TS despite taking much harder shots, scoring more points, in less minutes, and his range plus great scoring in the paint?

Bro

You said steph is kobe and zeke is nick young

That is so disrespectful

Free throw shooting? Check
Defense? Che..............
Honestly, he looks really solid on defense too(which started last season).

He anticipates plays really well, which allows him to create turnovers, hes grown nicely into his body(N/H) and looks stronger than ever

I really dont think hes a liability on defense

Yes he is great at jumping passing lanes. I think he is an above avg defender. Though I don't think he will ever be like a Kobe, MJ or Lebron who were dominant defenders and scorers at the same time. But with Klay and Barnes on the team he doesn't need to be.

It might be true. Ballhandling, shooting and passing are all elite.

Penny was a more skilled player than Zeke honestly, just couldn't stay healthy long enough to sustain a prime

Something else about Steph aside from the elite handles, passing (you don't watch basketball if you think he's just "ok" here), off ball instincts and obvious shooting both from the perimeter and in the paint where he's phenomenal: He's got very quick hands defensively and great anticipation. He's constantly creating deflections or straight up ripping ball handlers and turning a turnover into fast break points. Few perimeter players in this league turn defense into instant offense like Steph.

i've never seen anybody shoot like breh, add that to the fact his ability to create those shots, he really might be the GOAT shooter of all time when it's all said and done. one of the best PGs period ever too

I said something similar last year.

I have no problem taking Curry with my first or second round pick in an all-time draft.

Dude is easily one of the best to step on an NBA court.

I don't agree either... Steph has the best shot...his shot is doing like 90% of the job.. No one wants to see it release so they defend him the wrong way.. Making it look like his passes and dribles are far superior to everyone...

He is the best shooter..most dangerous shooter... So that makes him unguardable..u can only slow him down

i get what ur saying but his crossover is deadly regardless of his shot.

And the way he can finish with either hand at teh rim is insane
This is disrespectful

Steph is a future legend

Steph is already a legend even if he retired right now
