or is he making it more exciting?
this is not a curry hating thread....but just asking you bball buffs your opinion.
is he single handedly eliminating the low post game?
I read an article where high school or other youth coaches are complaining about how young kids are now just throwing up 3's or attempts without regard for the game.
an they are worried so kids will miss the fundamental part of the like they already have in the past.
not the he is doing it on purpose an he just doing him...but will he be the scapegoat?
? just off the fact if who his dad is an being raised around the NBA since he was a toddler I would expect nothing less from him...

Didn't they say the same thing about dunking and how it took away focus from the mid range shot? I think it will balance itself out. Kids who are just throwing up shots won't do ? , but maybe it will encourage some to work on their shooting and not the other more exciting aspects

He's not destroying the game. He's doing what works for him. And all the fundamental ? went out the window a long time ago when everyone wanted to be like Mike and do crazy and acrobatic dunks and lay ups even though Mike was fundamentally sound

thank you...that a good way of looking at it -
This is what the NBA wanted. They changed the rules on fouls and made it a purely offensive game. NFL did the same. People want points. Nobody is paying for a 76-67 4 quarters game. They want 124-122 back and forth shootout.
Other teams are still hanging on to that low post thinking. When those low percentage shots start missing, a simple lay-up is still the easiest shot. Couple that offensive trends usually are just that, trends. Teams will find a way to slow down anything. Also the offense they run is not for everyone.
The big man, low post half court offense will never get old or die out. It is still the highest percentage shot. Curry is just flipping the script cause he is making these crazy shots look effortless. -

I won't say destroyed but the game lost something when these ? got shine.

Epic niggie dances

is that skip?

I don't see how he's killing basketball he's elite at what he does.
-
He is the exception.... but if everyone starts jacking up off the dribble 3s cuz Steph can then it's a negative...
-
Steph can atleast inspire a generation to learn how to shoot the ball
And jump shooting big men/stretch fours killed the post game -
Back in the late 60s when Kareem Abdul Jabar was playing in college he used to dunk the ball every chance he got. He was dunking so much that the NCAA made a no dunking rule because of him. There was a time in NCAA basketball when it was against the rules to dunk the ball because of Kareem Abdul Jabar.
As far as Curry and his 3 point shot, he still shoots under .500. As long as there's 4 other guys on the team I don't think his 3 point shot will ruin the game, its just a threat that the other team has to think about. Its really a good strategy, to have a 3 point shooter hanging back by the 3 point line. Then you have to defend him even when he doesn't have the ball, which makes it easier for the offensive team to drive to the basket.
As far as teenagers go, the kid with a 3 point shot will always have his place, but the kid that has a sick crossover that can drive to the hole and lay it in (or dunk over a 7 footer) will always have his place too. -
I was always told by coaches if I didn't do what he wanted me to in the game there was always a seat on the bench I could be sitting in.
So I don't see where these coaches have a problem. -
I ball at the rec every other sunday and these young dudes stay shooting threes.

Man I remember when everyone wanted to play like Jordan in the rec then it was everyone carry crossovering like iverson then all the Asians and white boys started over dribbling trying to play like Nash now it's Jack up contested threes like curry... straight hilarity

Which do you play the most, half or full? Playing half is a real man's game and these chuckers seem to hate it.BlackAX410 wrote: »

I play full moreso but I operate better in half cuz I'm more cerebral and use the triple threat a lot -
Half court >>>>>> all that running ? with my ability to play D

As long as the team defense is good full court shouldn't effect that. My only issue with it is heads taking 3's before anyone is under the basket for a rebound -
Steph didn't ruin the NBA, the NBA did. They made the game less defensive with by implementing unnecessary rules. They're too quick to penalize players for "flagrant fouls" when 9 time out of 10 it shouldn't be considered flagrant. They got ? scared to even defend themselves in a fight cuz they worried about getting suspended and receiving heavy fines up the ass.
IMO, all these things combined has resulted in a much less aggressive, and even somewhat less competitive attitudes by players overall. When we were kids watching the NBA, ? on opposing teams hated each other. In today's NBA, most players don't even really show a competitive dislike for their opponents. Some dudes even act like losing ain't that big of a deal.
