Not that Steve Nash made everyone on his team better and averaged 12+ assists per game?

Even with Mark Jackson, and before he really hit his shooting promise, Steph was a far better player than Lilliard is today.

Or you can't do that because they have another historic lights ou shooter in Klay, and a physical PF who has incredible vision and a good shot from the perimeter.
It all goes the way it goes because of Curry first and foremost.

I assume this is a result of your lack of reading comprehension. Lilliard's talents don't change just because he switches teams. Monstars aren't real.

Spot on...Lillard can't just come down the court skip around on a unicorn and jack up a 3 and close his eyes...he actually has to move the ball around and work for shots...Curry has the freedom to shoot from wherever he wants

You're attributing that to Curry?

Reasoning that is counter to the evidence is the opposite of logical.

Steph has a higher usage (32.6) than Lilliard (31.3).

If he was as good a shooter as Curry, you can bet he'd be able to do this.

How do you fail to realize the system is created and all works as well as it does because of Curry is beyond me. If Curry went to POR, you think the system would dictate he played more like Lillard and less like STeph? No chance.

Lillard jacks up godawful 3 point attempts all the damn time.

Where do you think all this moving screen talk comes from? It is from Steph running off of screen constantly.

Which he has rightfully earned. I don't see what your point is here.

Oh the first and only freshman to come into North Carolina and be a preseason all-American?

You act like Barnes is a scrub....he has all the talent in the world...

We are talking about LeBron making scrub players like Delly, Channing Frye(saw what he was doing while he was in Orlando this season and years before bouncing around the league)...I mean the list can go on and on about role players LeBron has helped become GREAT/GOOD players..

Even if Curry could be replaced by someone with little drop off (which I agree with to some extent) it still doesn't take away from what he accomplished. You can play hypotheticals about this or that would happen but it doesn't mean squat.
