Marbury was right about Z-Bo all along too

Steph got a bad rap his whole career.

Honestly the only mistake he made was leaving Minnesota. Him and KG could've had great runs out there.

He was Derrick Rose before Derrick Rose


They hype surrounding him was MASSIVE.Slam Magazine covered him since he was in like the 6th grade.I'm talking Lebron James hype.


His first couple of years in the league, most people thought he was the future of the PG position....from '96-'2000....some even argued he was the best pg in basketball.



He lost control when he left the Timberwolves.That's when he said fukk it and took on a score first mentality.He was more of a pure point in Minnesota


I think as a prospect coming into the league, he was just as talented as Derrick Rose.In fact, I'd say he had slightly better court vision/ passing ability and a better jump shot than Rose.I think Rose is a bit more athletic, but Steph wasn't no slouch in that area, neither



Just look at that reverse alley hoop....like you said, you don't see to many pg's doing shyt like that
