Maybe in the Bay Area he's unambiguously black.

Offensive Rating, 3pt shooting %, FG% and scoring when adjusted for pace are all better than the 90's or any other time.
Average PER is higher etc.
I wrote a long post about this in the playoff thread that I might have to dig up.

Could be true, it's more of an international game now than it was back then.

Or what the defense can do now that they weren't allowed to do back then, if you want to go that route

That Game 5 suspension is going to Haunt Dray if they wind up losing.... hurt their chances of winning drastically in Game 5, since then they've lost Bogut & iggy has injured himself. Although i don't think that deserved a suspension he had to be smarter than to involve himself in that situation...
With that said, once again the warriors can't hold back any punches & i think this team has responded to Adversity SEVERAL times in the past two years.
Going down 2-1 to Memphis
Going down 2-1 to Cleveland last year
Steph being out for two weeks in the playoffs
Being down 3-1 to OKC (who have two top 5 Players)
Going Home to Oracle in which will be one of the most hostile arenas in NBA history, knowing that your team beat the cavs last year & have been one of the most dominate teams in NBA history... I don't think they are gonna shrink at all. For what it's worth i think this is when coaching really matters and i trust Kerr as a coach over Lue

Play dumb if you want.
But Steph Curry's hue allows for "them" to accept him a little easier.

I'm not calling him that.
I am saying that it is easier to relate to someone that looks remotely close to what you look like.
Iverson vs. Steph.
You tell me who would have more National appeal at first glance

Don't wanna derail the thread but there's definitely a token of truth in what DC's saying in relation to the entire narrative behind Steph.
He's a generational talent for sure but he's afforded more leeway in the public sphere than some of his other contemporaries but like I said,I dont wanna derail the thread since this is kind of a topic for a seperate thread.
There's already enough going on in here

Quite honestly I'm PRAYING Noah signs with them... he fits in PERFECTLY with GS. He plays D, Hustles, Rebounds, can run the floor, And the intensity btwn him & Green would be dynamic.
Also if KD doesn't go out East the Cavs will have another free trip to the finals and the thought of this warrior team seeing them for a third time with Noah also on the squad

I know you like to debate just to do it but this I actually agree with, I'll also say they also do the same thing with players wives and who they chose to show more. But that's a whole different convo.

I second this. I'm more surprised at those that don't see where DC is coming from.
