re: Is Russ the best PG in the NBA?

Stay on topic bro, everyone else is doing it.

Wall is shooting 39% fg and 25% from 3. Terrrible

Is Ty Lawson still Tier 1?

Anyone that says Westbrook is better than curry is an idiot

No shite. ...dont get me wrong, westbrook is damn good. ...he just is not the best

Wtf is Russ? His name is Russell...it's not that hard to say it or spell it, douchebags.

I like Russell, an absolute freak athlete, amazing player-- but the thing is Steph Curry right now is shooting like no one in NBA history- its not "Steph's a better shooter" because yeah he is, its "Steph's a better shooter than anyone who has ever played basketball and has decided to shoot at superstar volume for a while" -- I mean at his current pace Curry could break the all-time three pointers in a season record by March (a record he set last year, when he broke the old record--- which he also set 2 seasons before that-- he's 27 and has 3 of the top 5 3 point seasons in NBA history- basically before he's 30 he'll probably have all 5).

Steph Curry has made more 3s than 2/3s of the league's teams-- no one has been this much better at a major skill in a major sport since like Bonds as a HR during the early 00s.

I mean think about it-- by 30 Steph Curry barring a major injury is going have every single career shooting record for any who shoots more than like 5 shots a game-- other than total 3 pointers-- which he'll have by 32 or so.

I bet you get really annoyed when they call Christopher Farley "Chris" or Thomas Brady Jr. "Tom."

oh i'm not claiming that at all, just to clarify

late last week i checked curry's PER and it was like 37

kobe/wade/paul/curry are out of the discussion due to long-term health and/or age worries

and now he's back in the discussion b/c he miraculously got over what was being reported as a major structural issue years ago

as that list showed, injuries change everything (both positively and negatively). sometimes guys who have major issues get over them (like curry, cp3) and sometimes guys develop major issues (like bynum, gordon, holiday). sometimes freak injuries create serious question marks (rose, durant, george)

it's a discussion about the NBA from 3 years ago. shite is going to happen in a league this fluid that requires such freak skill/athleticism. i'm not going to shy away for having the sack to actually make a prediction. it's a lot easier to sit back and pick out 1 incorrect point 3 years later than to actually create your own content.
