Bro.....what??

I really hate how loyalty bias is how people apply their sliding scales.

Human nature.

Not universally. It's a human tendency, yes, but not nature.

The one I really hate is when I criticize someone and someone responds with, “what if your mom did it. Would you say the same thing?”
No, because she’s my mom and I’m extremely biased towards her. She could kill the pope and rob an orphanage and I’d find a way to defend her.

Nah, not me. I have an extremely dysfunctional family. Abusers, alcoholics, child molesters all over the place. That's why I'm estranged from damn near all of 'em.

Yes, including my mom, and dad. People mentioning moms in a negative light is an interesting thing to me, though, because I find that people are quick to ish on dads but you talk ish on your mom, 'Oh my gosh, chill, bruh. That's your mom.'

And?

why cuz of his shooting ability? He’s a phenomenal passer. He gotta be a 1 with that ability to read the floor and awareness

90's defenders are hounds. No way his handles would nearly as nice or flasht. 90s PG defense would have his looking like GP or Mark Jackson using the protect dribble for 94 feet. Just ask DCAllAfrican

Those up in arms about the idea of Steph not being considered a 1 but scoffing at the idea of Lebby being considered a 1: How? What the problem is? Steph is a phenomenal shooter who does NOT shoulder the responsibility of setting up the offense. Lebby does. I mean...

toss up between kid and gp

Neither of those two are better than Stockton or CP.

I think Wilt Chamberlain is in the top tier of best athletes to ever walk the planet. I’m confident someone with his attributes could play in today’s NBA. But I also don’t marvel at the video game stats he put up because he really was a man playing with (mostly) boys.

im not taking Chris Paul over Jason Kidd.

 

[D StaXX]

Magic
Curry
CP3
Nash

This right here.

Bro.....what??

Game was different point guards had to actually run their teams. If I got the best shooter of all time I want him shooting not getting hounded 90 feet just to get the ball up court

 

[geno90221]

This right here.

CP/Nash over Zeke?
Stop it

 

[HOU$TON]

Magic
Curry

people still underestimate the size and strength of steph curry like he couldn't play in past eras

 

[MajinZuub]

Taking notes of everyone leaving Zeke out

 

[doublemesh96]

its insane. I won’t tolerate any steph slander unless you say he’s not clutch cuz he certainly ain’t lol.

Steph getting tossed over the scores table on a nightly basis in the 80’s/90’s

 

[lawdog1]

Yeah, I don’t get it. The guy is 6’4” - 190 and people talk about him like he’s Spud Webb size.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Steph getting tossed over the scores table on a nightly basis in the 80’s/90’s

Michael Adams at 5-11 160 averaged 26/11 one year but please carry on.

it was like 3 teams in the entire decade with the ****s but you swear the 90s was this era of gangsters.

 

[MVP]

Nash?!? FOH

 

[had pants]

 

[100027]

It’s not like guards were bigger in the 90s. They just had more huge statue big men. Fewer long athletic freaks as well.

 

[D StaXX]

CP/Nash over Zeke?
Stop it

CP3 top 3. You can exchange Nash for Zeke, but I prefer Nash.

Why wouldn’t you consider Steph Curry a PG?

I mean, he’s been responsible for leading some of the best offenses in the history of basketball . With On/Off numbers that are out of this world. His screen setting, off ball movement, playmaking, gravity and special awareness literally make him function as a “system”unto himself.




If Steph averaged 9apg....would you consider him a “PG”? Because before Kerr came, under Mark Jackson...and before he became “Steph” as we know it...he averaged 24ppg & 8.5 apg.

He’s proven he can lead a team to a lot of wins being a primary ball handler and assist guy in P&R...or by moving off the ball and using contorting defenses that make you guard him at half court..and giving up the ball and getting it back.

The role of a PG is to get your teammates in the best position to score or make plays. Steph Curry does that as well as any pg we’ve seen. It’s just in a different form.

The position is Point Guard. Not Assist Guard
