I saw Lebron, Dame and Trae young shoot from the logo. Guys have the green light to shoot those 30 foot shots.
Steph's 3 point shooting VS Russ triple doubles - Which impresses you more?

Not from the modern line.
The only period that he did decent from the 3pt line were 95/96/97, when the NBA shortened the line to just 22 feet cause everyone was shooting like shyt. Both before and after that period he was a poor 3pt shooter.
176 threes at a 31% clip in 6 seasons with the 23.5-foot 3pt line
298 threes at a 39% clip in 3 seasons with the 22-foot 3pt line
You can't claim someone was just as good as Steph when he needed the 3pt line closer to the hoop to make them and still wasn't hitting even close to Steph's rate. Not to mention that Steph is the most closely-guarded player in the NBA while defenders weren't even hardly guarding guys at the 3pt line in the 1990s.
I remember him getting benched at the end of closes playoff game for Eric Maynor because of this reason, and OKC would still end up winning those games in spite of his benching.
The entire league knows what Russ is about.

curry losing games shooting from logo tho
Can't blame Russ for chasing stats when the media and fans of certain players use stats as their go to for why one player is better than the other. Clearly it matters financially as he triple doubled his way to one hell of a contract. nikkas need to stop dikkriding stats as their argument point and this won't happen, pretty simple. Steph is a bit more impressive btw. 
James harden had the most 3’s in a monthBut no one has done what Steph does literally ever.
Do you really believe that Bron couldn't have averaged 2 more rebounds/game last year for a triple-double if he asked AD/Dwight/McGee to box out for him and let him have the easy ones the way Russ's bigs do?
buddy got the most to start a career
dame & Klay could heat up too
there is literally no one getting 20 20 20 lol
nikka showing free throws. This nikka averaged a triple double on 2 teams. Almost did it in Houston.. You a special kind of stupid.
And yet another reason why we need to get rid of box score stats. Nxggas keep putting emphasis on stats that don't accurately value what has impact in the game.
So we gonna talk about who has the better GM? Had OKC never traded Harden, Steph Currys existence would be nothing. One GM broke the team up and the other one didn't.
But how important are they, exactly?
If you were to list every single action during a game, where would they rank? And what is more important, sticking to your defensive assignment and boxing out, or gravitating towards the paint during a defensive possession to wait for a rebound opportunity?

The level of stupidity.
And this is why rebounds (in general) should cease to be recorded, as should every other stat in the traditional box score. They're essentially a red herring; misleading everyone on what has importance and impact. I've said this for years and years now, and yet everyone still argues about these meaningless stats. What's even worse they're going against what they're watching, because if you're actually pay attention to what happens during a game, you'd know that box score stats don't even begin to paint an accurate picture of what's going on.
Basketball discourse will never be able to progress as along as box score stats are in rotation.

Definitely appreciate both but the 3pt record will be broken before the triple double record

And none of them have rings besides KD who had to join the team that eliminated his the season prior .
