Nash was the system :ufdup: Never worked without him.

Catch all the breaks instead of being fukked over by the NBA?

He damn sure wasn't the system

But Nash is NOT a system player

But it makes more sense to call him one since he didn't become a superstar until he was 30 years old

LeBron on Irving and Curry:

"They are two of the best ball handlers that this league has ever seen," James said Wednesday at Oracle Arena, where the teams held their final practice before the start of the series.

"Their ability to make shots off the handle, Steph's ability to use his handle to get off shots, those step-backs and Kyrie's ability to be crafty, use his ability to get into the lane and make shots. When you have a handle like that, you can pretty much get any shot you want, and they both show you that. With their speed, their change of pace, their ballhandling, and then their ability to shoot the ball. They can absolutely just shoot the rock."

Eastside of that Motor
Need some more years to make this argument :patrice:

But some of yall old heads are delusional. Talking about dribbling to create space :what:

I can tell a lot of people never hooped before and just watch. Do you know how hard it is to play at that level with minimal athleticism and being as slow as Steph is? And at the pro level when they PAY people to study your game all year.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
No, a jump in 5-7 TS % is not a product of natural evolution, breh. Like i said, we can look at Lebron's TS % with the old Cavs then with Miami back with the new Cavs to see how a system and a roster impacts efficiency.

And you keep acting like Curry isn't getting multiple screens and doesn't have way more space to play in than Kobe ever had.

And Kobe, would have the absolute #1 and #2 and maybe even #3 playoff seasons since he actually won FMVP in two of them against better teams and in the other was damn near equal to a prime Shaq.


Why are you trying to compare a dude that played for two different teams, to a guy that plays for the same team with almost exactly the same roster. You keep talking about the system, all they did was tell him to take more threes, and have Draymond play at PF, their "system" is running a hybrid triangle offense, with the same players they had before. Yet, you're trying to use LeBron who went to a new team, with all new players?

Kobe could also post up because he was 3" taller and 20-30lbs heavier, he didn't have a better handle no matter how hard you try to believe it. Curry gets screens to initiate his teams offense, they run high screen and roll, you act like Kobe never used screens, he's a PG do you expect him to iso on the wing and wave people off. You mentioned his handle not being good enough to be top 10 in the 00s and never named a single person.

Nope, using TS% only Curry has the best season, you made that rule, I'm just playing within it :mjlol:

The delusion throughout this post :russ: Dude just mentions Draymond in passing like he isn't the piece that makes the small ball work on both ends:heh: And Kobe not only cooked nikkas without a ball screen, he routinely got penetration into the paint from it, whether it be from athleticism or whatever other excuse you have on hand.

And we saw Curry try to iso Delly....didn't go well for 3 games :deadrose:\ Be a supposed basketball god and loose FMVP to Andre fukking Iguodala :pachaha:

I praise Draymond all the time, as far as impact goes he's a top 10 player in my opinion (impact, not talent). But, fact remains it's mostly the same team, criticizing Curry for having a team built around him is ridiculous, you'd be that dude in 95 talking bout "Dream wouldn't be baking Robinson like this if Horry and them wasn't out there spacing the floor, it's all the system" :dead:

Where are the names of the 10 people from the 2000s with a better handle than Steph :mjpls:

I look forward to whatever excuse you craft once Curry doesn't have the system as as crutch and his efficiency drops back to its normative level :smugbiden:

Let's not mention Nash and curry in the same sentence. They're MILES apart.


Oh I know, Curry isn't one of the worst defenders ever.

Has anybody relied on screens to create space in the half court more than Lebron though? :sas2:

Other than Nash of course :sas2:

Only one of us predicted GS to win the championship last year while the other was saying that the Cavs would dispose of them with ease :mjpls:

With ease? We lying again? I think the Cavs could beat them this year. Are you talking about the dude that said Giannis wouldn't be anything more than Jonathan Bender?
