In 2019 Does Steph Curry’s Game Hold The Same Allure As It Once Did?

To the average fan, no.

To real bball heads, yes, we know he opens up everything for GS and if he became the clear cut #1 focus of the offense like in '16 he would recapture that magic and imo exceed what he did in '16.

Nothin about Steph or KD's games have changed since that 2016 season so I'm still tryna figure out how KD leap-frogged Steph in so many people's minds.

I mean they both blew 3-1 leads the same year and one was in his 2nd straight Finals appearance while the other one was at home watchin.

Some shyt just doesn't make sense, I'll never understand that shyt.

Curry doesn't play as care free and reckless as he used too. He's way more careful and controlled now. Most of his 3's come off catch and shoot instead of off the dribble.


He needs to go back to shooting his midrange every now and then and you'll see his 3 drop off the dribble more.
just my two cents. :yeshrug:

TYRONE GA!
no it isn't and i foreseen the shyt. i made a thread on here a while ago asking why dudes don't just emulate curry and people acted like it wasn't possible. now you got all kinds of dudes doin the stepback threes, or lookin for the three before anything else, etc. so, it would appear that i am a better basketball strategist than many on this board, which we knew already.

and those copycats aren't nearly as good...but they think they are :mjlol:

Nothing about his overall game has improved. He's the same player he was during the 2014-15 season. You watch one Steph Curry game/highlight and you've essentially seen them all.

And I don't get this whole "KD ruined Steph's legacy" talk when the only person whose numbers in the Finals that have dramatically improved are Steph's. Go compare his numbers in his first two Finals to those in his last two Finals

Everywhere...You never there.
Jordan has the benefit of being retired for 20 years so we can just say whatever the hell we want about him.

Fairly certain folks always clamored to see Jordan play because everyone knew he was a one of one ... there are so many Curry clones now... Curry’s still the master of his own style but we’re seeing deep distance trick shots every night now ...

We've been desensitized. Shots players around the league put up use to be one some Patrick Ewing, "what kinda shot is that?" shyt, now it's just routine.
