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

[Isaiah Bradley]

no his point is about kids imitating the end product, not the process it took to get there.Meaning other skillset curry acquired along the way to make what he does possible are being ignored.

you put your own spin on it.

move on breh, stop fishing for daps...focusing on Curry's rare talent, "end-product", versus other learn-able skills, "skillsets," is what I wrote about and is what Jackson correctly points out

They really need to eliminate the zone and go back to man-to-man. I know people have gripes with ball movement and iso ball, but honestly, there's not much ball movement now. Or should I say, there's not much movement without the ball. GS, Spurs and Milwaukee are the few teams that I noticed that actually have off-the-ball movement. Every other team have 1 player with the ball and everyone else camp out around the perimeter. They don't even attempt to move more than 2 steps to the right/left. That's still iso ball. At least straight man will force people to work on other aspects of their game.

The difference between this 3pt era and every other era is that EVERYONE is trying to do it. Aside from the dunk, everyone wasn't tryna crossover people like AI. Everyone wasn't using the fadeaway like MJ. Everyone wasn't using the pull-up midrange, everyone wasn't in the post backing them down. Hell, everyone wasnt even dunking everything because there were actual shot blockers. We didn't even know some players could dunk. People emulated those with their body-types/skill sets so there was still a variety. Everyone is shooting 3s though. there's no reason why Anthony Davis should be shooting 3s, or Milsap or Horford or Kevin Love, Chris Bosh, Cousins. When Andre Drummond and Dwight Howard start shooting 3s, I will stop watching.

So saying that kids should focus on being well rounded, rather than focusing on the neon aspect of Curry's game is now a bad thing

This era has more player movement than any other period. Even the teams that are classified as playing ISO-ball, still have a lot of player movement than the median of previous eras. I mean I don't know how folk still can't see that offensive systems are far more complex than they've ever been.

So... What's funny is that in the YouTube clip he did mention Jordan and Kobe as causing similar problems as Curry... But keep calling him salty since that's more fun...
