NBA Season 2015/16

Warriors are just ridiculous

[Cookie Monster]

As good as Curry has been these last couple of seasons, being named 23rd on ESPN's ALL TIME list I think is ridiculous, ahead of plenty of legends and greats of the game, Alan Iverson for one.

You can't say that in 2 seasons Curry has been the 23rd best player in NBA history!

If he play's like this I have no doubt he could complete the Mount Rushmore of basketball greats.

Jordan, Magic, Bird, Curry.


But, that's a long way away.



OKAY NEXT POINT, very proud of the Thunder's efforts today, although playoffs are very different, they proved they can match it with the best, without Roberson who is the normal starting SG and a great defensive player unlike Waiters.

We just need a much bigger contribution from the bench in big games. But it's good signs for the Thunder.

Crazy to think that losing by 8 to the Warriors is widely thought of as a good effort

[Jay]

I think assuming Curry just stopped playing today, 23rd might actually be too low for him. Being by far the best player on an all-time great team is a huge deal. I'd have him in the 17-21 range to be honest, but can understand that some would value longevity much higher.

Curry just locked up the MVP with that performance

[jvalles69]

Game as much closer than the 8pt margin.  KD threw up 2 straight early possession 3pters only being down by 1 pt, then made some lazy defensive plays, as well as not boxing out on Green who stole a couple of easy offensive boards.  OKC had no chance without him, but he made some unforced errors in those last 3mins.  The difference was the hustle of guys like Iguodala, Green, Speights and Curry, OKC looked disinterested compared to GSW (they weren't, but just the difference in effort).  GSW are such a well oiled machine especially in offense.

Tied game Curry with the ball

Gets the switch on to Durant

Fakes the blow by pulls up from 17ft

Durant does not bite

All over him challenges the shot...

Nothing but net 8)

surely your not serious on both statements there are soo many players with much much better careers at this point. I also dont but the all time great team thing they better take the title easy if people are talking like that.

this is abit of an insult to the all time greats.

Just below Kevin Garnett at 21 do you agree with that Jay. Your second greatest PF of all time is barely better then curry in his early stages of his career.

these players based on careers are lower

Isiah Thomas - 2 time champion only players to have more 20-10 assit games is Oscar and Magic
Dwayne Wade: not a wade fan but a 3 time champion a finals mvp going 34.7 PPG and 7.8 RPG
John Havlichek this one is disrepectfull, 8 time champion 2 time finals mvp 8 time defensive team of the year.
George Milkan
Bob Petit
Bob Cousy: 2 time MVP 6 championships

Curry is doing everything he can to work his way up the list but he isnt close to 23 yet.

As it stands he is a 1 time MVP, but almost a lock to go back to back. This is really good. He has 1 Championship which alot of people have put an asterix on with the competition falling down.

By the way in that Championship Series he went 26 points 6.3 Assits 5.2 Rebounds on 44% shooting and 38.5% 3 point shooting.

His playoff resume is very very weak with that questionable title and wasnt even the best player on the team in the series that was Iggy.

let him do something in the playoffs then come back to me about this list. Wade Thomas John George and the Bobs and many others should feel totally disrespected.

Too soon to define where he is right now as the ceiling is very high and the floor would be nothing short of tragedy...

[jvalles69]

I don't think you can put players in a list like that until their careers are over, was put in due to all he hype around him the fact that we've never seen a shooter like him.  I have no doubt he'll earn his place some where in the top 30 once his careers over, the work the guy puts in off the court is reason enough that I believe he will, but what happens if he gets an injury that stops him like Rose, Roy, Penny, Hill, Penny etc...if that was the case he'd prob drop out of the top 50 I would think.

so many variables really, he is torching the all time 3pt list so he is up there but he isn't even halfway through his career

Yeah, if he does what he's doing now for another 5-7years, he'll prob be top 10 easy.  I wouldn't be surprised if they move the 3pt line back just cos of him!

yeah agreed

not sure they will move it back as he is the only 1 making it look that easy, would need to be players collectively

I do think the hack'a'whoever rule will be changed though, no more Drummond and Jordan at the line marathons

If curry keeps this form up in the playoffs for the next 5-7 years then he should make his way into the top 10.

really looking forward to this years playoffs.

All star weekend coming up too, check out these lineups!  :o

Skills challenge: Beverly, Cousns, Dray Green, AD, McCollum, Anthony-Towns, Thomas, Clarkson (this should be a riot with the bigs in there).  My tip is IT.

3pt shootout: Curry, Harden, Thompson, Middleton, Lowry, Redick, Bosh, Booker (Bosh LOL)  Curry should take this one out, biggest threat is his splash brother, Redick as a dark horse.

Dunk comp: Lavine, Barton, Gordon and Drummond (I'm least excited for this one)
