**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[nick.]

That’s not what I was saying at all. I’m simply getting to a factor as to why some hate Steph. It stems from resentment and not being familiar or used to what he’s doing at this level.

It’s hard for people to accept things they don’t know or understand. A guy like Steph being this dominant on the NBA court breeds pushback and resentment.

People are used to dominant players being a 6'8" wing or a 7' big

Curry is Shaq from the perimeter

A lot of people don't know Steph used to dodge bullets walking his younger siblings home from school while his parents worked two jobs.

He wasn't supposed to be here.

1000% agreed with this. Some could say chucking from the hash mark 15 times a game is cheap, but if the ***** makes it what can anyone really say.

It is a completely new thing to a lot of people to see how Klay and Curry function, so there's definitely a segment who discredits only because it's so unorthodox.

Curry passed Allen & Miller like 4 years ago

Passed them where?

 

[freeze]

I suggest you come up for oxygen as well

He hasn’t passed Reggie on 3PM YET

He will, but not yet

bro that **** is inevitable. That # means nothing. He's 3rd already with 700 less games. Reggie knows he's better.

don't be weak. He's passed both years ago. The all time list is just a formality.

 

[migu420]

That contract he took back then was the key, too. Impact of it lasted years.

I have nothing to base this on, but I have a gut feeling that Boogie will have a breakout game tonight. Dude sounds like he has a chip on his shoulder.

imagine if he was never hurt. all of this would've never happened. The contract was solely based on bad ankles.

all that pain and **** was meant to be.

he has contributed in both wins. aside from the last couple minutes, he played really well last gm. some of the best we've seen in awhile
considering how banged up looney is, he has to be big and stay out of foul trouble
serge not big enough to handle him. his matchup with marc early on going to set the tone on how he plays and where his mind is.

true.. him and Klay growing up in Beverly Hills eating caviar 24/7 while getting their feet messaged

WE WASNT EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE HERE

DUBS IN 7

how anyone could like two dudes who grew up rich in Calabasas who are a bunch of soft *** jump shooters is beyond me

 

[nick.]

Passed them where?

Allen has 2,973 made 3's in 1300 games
Miller has 2,560 made 3's in 1389 games
Curry has 2,483 made 3's in 694 games

C'mon man

This is exactly why people hate y’all bistephsuals

Y’all want to give him credit BEFORE he crosses the checkpoints

 

[migu420]

Maybe because not all rich dudes are unlikable?

 

[harlemtothebronx]

The funny thing everyone loves to ignore about that their "talent" is that the core of it was drafted. Steph and Klay went 7 & 11 in the draft. Draymond was a 2nd round pick. They were in the lottery year in and year out until they signed David ****ing Lee.

Everyone makes it seem like this "super team" they have was all assembled like Voltron or some **** and unfairly did all of this. They all developed into what they are. Iggy...a glue guy...was their prime FA signing until KD. Any way you want to slice it...Steph is at the dead center of that entire process.

Not at all. Like I said, the front office did an amazing job building one of if not the best starting lineups of all-time.

I don't care how they acquired the players. The point still stands that teams have a hard time focusing on everyone on that team because they're all so talented.

If anything I respect the Warriors more for how they built it (before signing KD). But you can't give the front office a ton of credit and not acknowledge that they have an extremely well balanced team that benefits everyone on that roster.

them two are the epitome of unlikeable rich dudes

Can you acknowledge the fact he's shattered the record for threes in a season at least? While being up there, percentage wise?

C'mon man

He still gotta make em

I watched this man Destroy my 57 win team Nuggets putting up 24/9 in the 1st round (with Iggy on it)...and he was like 24 ...playing with a Rookie Harrison Barnes, Jarrett Jack, 2nd year Klay, Rookie Dray and Carl Landry.



Like cmon man. And you got people saying stupid **** like, he can’t “carry a team”.

Side note: I HATE this new “carry a team to ultimately lose” culture that’s developed. Rewarding losers.

you're really doing this right now?

 

[blastercombo]

So if you don’t call someone an all time great from day1 they’re now “hated on” lol. Ayisha Curry must have some NT accounts set up for this occasion.

I can't stand it. It grinds my ******* gears

 

[migu420]

Losers get participation trophies, while winners get hate. Not just the warriors, either. It's our social media society with soapboxes for EVERYONE that brings it to light.

Absolutely

He’s ON PACE to be the greatest shooter of all time

Most 3s in a season? Great achievement

James Harden 2nd on that list at a much worse efficiency

Thank you. That’s mostly what I’m getting at with this. Feels good to have a reasonable discussion in this thread for once.
