these dudes just running with the contrarian "YOU GUYS ARE ALL STUPID HEADS" agenda when the idiocy of what he said is plain is day. it was DUMB, plain and simple. and his acrimony and resentment towards the Warriors winning without him got this dude so sick he's not even thinking before he opens his mouth.

when people go out of their way to say some dumb shyt like, at that level, there's usually an underlying motivation even if they don't realize it :francis:

the only person that says more slick shyt about the Warriors is Barkley

I knew folks would cartwheel into this post caping for this dude but when people like him make statements like that they are trying to arouse an emotional reaction. wonder why :jbhmm:

Can you pull up some negative quotes about the Warriors from Mark Jackson

Maybe if the shots weren't falling, if they didn't win the 'ship and if they weren't having potentialy the greatest nba season OAT he would have a point
:dwillhuh:

his point was that kids see Curry hitting all these 3s. then they think they can go out & just jack up 3s & try to be like curry. curry is probably THE purest shooter in the history of the game. not ever fukking kid is going to be Curry. that was Marks point.

Jackson could have easily made his point about the game hurting at the lower level without invoking Steph. Kids taking bad shots and being enamored with scoring has nothing to do with Curry.

I get the point. I just think it's a stupid point.

If anything curry should be inspiring kids to work on they shot. If he was on some JR smith shyt just out here being a nut jacking up bullshyt I would see the issue. But any coach with a shooter like that would let him take all those attempts.

If kids is dumb enough to not realize that they shot gonna fall as much as currys then a coach should be addressing that.

nikka HS kids dont know they arent Steph. also every coach isnt just letting the shooter take the shot. HS coaches let the damn whole team jack up 3s. but imo i think the bigger problem is the small ball stretch 4-5 shyt. because you have big dudes out there shooting 3s knowing damn well they shouldnt.

This. Surprised Jackson didnt blame JR sucking on Steph too.

Honestly at the lower levels I see more kids dominating the ball on the perimeter and not moving off the ball than I do the 3 point shot. The lack of movement is the biggest issue with the game right now. Kids hold the ball to up their assist numbers because they see that as being "well rounded."

But Mark wouldnt point to that because he doesnt have an axe to grind with anyone else besides GS.

the main problem with his statement is singling out Curry when nothing of similar concept was said about other players

I mean Iverson had kinds in the whole country ballin. everyone who was 5'9 and somewhat quick thought he was AI. did it hurt the game ? no, on the contrary, it helped to get a lot of talent from those youth

Kobe too, how many motherfukkers thought they were Kobe shooting fadeaways with poor shot selection ? did it hurt the game ? no, on the contrary, Kobe's popularity is what got a lot of kids in the game

Durant, a 6'10 forward who is a good shooter with outside shot

why I never heard about AI, Kobe or KD ruining the game ?

dont hate the player, hate the game. hate the mindset of the league, coaching and philosophy. ofc this can be a chicken and the egg problem, but lack of big men with post skills isnt necessarily attributed to seeing curry or ai or durant play. the league is a totally different that it was when big men dominated.

singling out Curry just exposes mark as still being salty towards the warriors :manny:

The problem with dudes defending Jackson for what he said, is that despite there not being any malice on the surface of THIS comment - he's been throwing sneak disses for the past two seasons. It's hard to know sometimes when he's being genuine or salty when it comes to this squad.

Really hate how they keep sending Jackson to GS to commentate.

These comments aren't bad but they're still not something he needs to say. Let someone else mention Steph like that.
