It is no longer accurate to say that Stephen Curry is disrespected by his peers or the media or even random idiots on Twitter. It certainly used to be. It looks like it will take a long time for many to unconditionally accept his former status. The latest example comes from former NBA player Mike James.
In case you don’t remember, James played in 49 games during his NBA career. sands, pelican When Net He has recently played in Europe, over the 2017-18 and 2020-21 seasons. In a recent episode of the Players Choice podcast, James named his top five players in the league. Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid, Giannis Antetokounmpo, LeBron James and Luka Doncic. You will notice that Callie is gone.
it doesn’t matter. A rational mind might disagree as it relates to the top 5 players in the league who are very talented at the moment. So tired and wrong was James’ rationale for removing Curry.
“Steph, how he plays and how he gets things done, it’s kind of one sided sometimes,” James said. “He’s not the main ballhandler and as a point guard it’s a bit of a concern.”
“I think the other five can do whatever they want with any team in the world right now,” James added. , he would still kill, but I don’t know if it’s the same.”
here we go again. Steph is just Steph Warriors systemIt’s so silly that I hardly need to react, but it’s a quiet weekend in early August and I don’t have much else to write about. Even more ridiculous is the one-sided tag James is trying to put on Curry. As James points out, the fact that he’s not the primary ball handler is what makes him not one dimension.
No other scorer in basketball history has been more lethal in terms of on-ball and off-ball ability. I never have. far cry. If you want to say that Luka Doncic is better than Curry, fine, but don’t back it up with one-sided stuff.Only Luka knows how to handle the ball. Let him run around the screen and start shooting threes from catches and see how effective he is.
Curry is a 3rd level scorer. He’s on the rim, short midrange, long midrange, and obviously he’s three to light he’s out. Time – His 71% of Curry’s bucket in his last NBA Finals were without assists.
Curry is a world-class ball handler, a magical passer, and a great screener and plus defender when his freewheeling instincts are in check. I said yes. He’s a plus defender. However, if you want to make “Curry a product of the Warriors’ system and the players around him,” do so, at least on defense.
Denying, questioning, or trying to justify what Curry does offensively doesn’t look very good. And she loves that Callie has noticed. At his annual Curry camp, he was asked how some of his campers would deal against him in one-on-one matches.
“Oh, that’s bad for them,” Curry said. “Even if I’m one-dimensional, it’s all bad for them.” After a brief silence, Callie couldn’t contain her laughter. Please, I like it very much.”
Again, I love this. Yes, it’s playful, but it shows a never-ending quest for motivation from a man who has absolutely nothing left to prove. That’s how they stay on top for so long.
