Mark Jackson comments on how Steph Curry is "Hurting the Game"

[UserNameless]

rep to a 10000+

dude I just took my nephew out to play with him today and dude was only jacking shots. 6'4 negga that can't even post up

Can't even smoothly off the ball. Alll he wanted to do was jack 3s and chill

Did you correct him. .. offer some alternatives and/ or guidance?

 

[Carlos Huerta]

Steph is not influential at all

Don't nobody try to play like him


Overestimating his gout... shyt

what is this trash?

 

[Xerces]

I wonder who Mark Jackson blames for the youtube videos of kids I've seen flopping. Like others have said there are players that come into the league that little kids emulate and imo little league coaches ( who some are young themselves and watch nba) even encourage them to play like.

Steph curry has kids taking crazy 3's

James Harden an Chris Paul has kids flopping

Lebron James has kids leaving teams to goto better teams cause they can't win won

Allen Iverson had kids trying to cross people up all day

Etc etc

But honestly listening to that comment mixed in with all the other commens Mark Jackson just sounded mad

i guess you can understand what he is saying. by all these kids in HS jacking up 3s. i mean my nephew plays HS ball & i see all these 6'6 kids playing like they are steph. looking soft as fukk because they rather camp out instead of getting down in the post & using their size. but i guess you take the good with the bad with Stephs game. he is the star of the NBA. so of course kids are going to want to play like him. it really comes down to the coaches to let these kids know that they have to do more then shoot 3s.

i know he sounds bitter but you can see what Mark is saying.

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

Just listened to everything Mark jackson said and It confirmed my suspicion: PEOPLE ARE fukkING STUPID



He said absolutely nothing wrong or disparaging towards Curry. shyt he was biggin' him up(even compared him to Michael Jordan and Kobe) . But people took one line out of that and made it into a story

LOL@Curry ruining the game. But it was fine when volume chuckers like Marbury, Iverson, and Francis where attempting 27 FGA on 41% shooting in the early 2000s?

Where do you think the narrative against isolation players came from?

I agree with him to an extent. I went to pay pickup ball like a week ago and standing under the rim was damn hazard. A bunch of non shooting dudes throwing up 3's from 5 feet behind the line. There were always chuckers. But it's gone to a whole new level. Pickup games outside lasting 30 minutes because dudes are chucking 25 foot shots every time up the court when the wind is blowing... like

People chucking 3's in pickup has been happening well before Steph Curry was even born.

mark jackson: curry is one of the finest human beings i have ever met. anyone with anything negative to say about steph curry as a player and as a man is a clown. you can quote me on that.

next morning headline reads:

TOUGH WORDS FROM FORMER WARRIORS COACH! "CURRY AS A PLAYER AND A MAN IS A CLOWN!"

He said verbatim he's hurting the game to a degree because kids in high school run straight to the 3 point line.

That's just all levels of foolish.

People are dismissing this as hate and it's pretty pathetic. There's absolutely nothing incorrect about what he said. If anything, it's a compliment to Curry, he's saying there's only one of him, and any Steph clones will never be as good or efficient. He's also saying Steph is more that a shooter...

same thing happened with MJ and the era of hero ball.

It's backhanded then....it's not Steph's fault high schoolers "run straight to the 3 point line"

exactly. dude said Curry is an all around great player and that people focusing on what he does, not what makes him great. shyt he even mention curry in the same breath as players he respects the shyt out of. And people still ignored all that

Did he or did he not say he was hurting the game?

 

[gho3st]

Did he or did he not say he was hurting the game?

and did he not explain why he thought so? And after hearing his explanation, do you think he's lowkey shytting on steph?
