Steph Curry

Degeneratefk

I do agree that curry is one of, if not the best pure shooter ever. Dude can pop a 3 from anywhere on the court and it is expected to go in. He's definitely a joy to watch. The NBA has been lacking a true shooter like steph.

I agree. But I think the Warriors are so good, they would have been the 1 seed without curry. They don't win 73, but they definitely remain the best team in the league.

No way they finish above the spurs without Curry.

The spurs did have a great season. Would have been close.

And he was not suspended for gambling. What an absurd conspiracy theory.

I can't believe people actually believe that. Yes, Jordan is a degenerate gambler. But no fucking way Stern secretly suspends the most popular athlete in the world in the middle of his prime.

MVP is just that. Most valuable to your team. Not the best in the league. But that's a different argument

The award should just be called the "best player in the league" award.

the counter argument is no way the best player in the world just up and leaves the game for no good reason and decides to ride buses in the low minor leagues to play baseball. absurd to think of the best player ever just upping and leaving the game like that on his on fruition don't you think?

While the notion of the best in the world walking away is pretty crazy, I think that is much more likely than the NBA forcing him to go away when he was the biggest star in the world at that time. That is when the NBA really became a global game...can't imagine them sending him away at the height of his powers.

The recent tiger article compared his obsession with the navy seals after his dad died to Jordan's obsession with baseball after his did. Basically, both of them became obsessed with something that was a big part of their father's life after they died

For some reason, I can't stand curry

In all honestly I don't think Jordan was suspended for gambling, but the idea of it is funny and one I hope ends up to be true. I would not have put it past Stern back then to do something like that rather than go the Pete Rose route and ban him.

Jorgans dad had just been murdered. He just won his third straight title. By then, he was already being considered the greatest of all time. He could do whatever he wanted, and he did. It really isn't that surprising.
