Steph Curry Says He's the Best Point Guard EVER | THE ODD COUPLE

[@DavidWilliams-wr9xv]

What nobody talks about is...Steph Curry is not a point guard. They list him as that on paper. But the things he does on the court is ALL 2 guard. Comes up the court passes the ball to Draymond and runs around screens all day. Shoots 3s at a high rate. Screens for others and gets himself an open shot. He is an off guard! He doesn't spend the bulk of his time distributing. Draymond does that.

[@Titan2User]

He’s a point gurad that plays well off ball. Just because you can play off the ball well or your not pass first doesnt mean your not a pg

I'm 40 and I got Steph above Magic, I find the generic argument that Curry isn't a "true" point guard completely moot. Steph has literally beat all of these "pure" point guards most of his career. So what, he should basically play traditional (worse?) to fit a mold he already broke? Steph was asked the question, and he chose himself, why wouldn't he? Betting on himself is what made him who he is.

Listen I find it hilariously crazy. Y'all are not going to kill Steph Curry for saying that, but y'all will bash the s*** out of LeBron James for feeling like he is the goat. But all in all do I feel that Steph Curry is the best PG of all time?! Hell no!!! The dude has been masquerating as a point guard literally his whole career. His natural position is a shooting guard. I mean he helped revolutionize this two guard spot to where We don't even label guards and wings even the same they're just literally one in the same. These positions and basketball have literally turned themselves inside out

I’d definitely agree that he had a better career but to me as someone who hooped it’s just hard for me to not to give Steph that greatest PG title. Magic had all the god given intangibles.

Honestly, I think Steph is more of a shooting guard than a point guard. Today's NBA is really position-less but historically Steph is more like a SG like Allen Iverson was. When I think of PGs I think of Magic, CP3, Nash, Stockton, JKidd... Steph, Kyrie, Dame are all scorers and not floor generals.

[@atlien1988]

​@@dathanwilliams7702 in what way did I disrespect Curry? I love Steph and been a fan since day one at Davidson. Steph Curry also DID NOT change the game. I'm fortunate enough to have watched basketball for over 3 decades. I know exactly how the NBA was transitioning BEFORE Steph even entered the NBA. Quentin Richardson was taking 8 threes per game in 2005 under D'Antoni in PHX. To put this into perspective, Ray Allen didn't attempt 8 or more threes until the very next season! Steph didn't even attempt 8 threes until his SIXTH year in the association!! So how does he solely get credit for changing the game, which had already began shooting more threes each year before he entered the NBA? The truth is he doesn't!! Steph became the FACE of the league that became more three point happy because he shattered the record in 2016. That's when the narrative began.

[@atlien1988]

​​@@skillethead15 this _positionless_ basketball is exactly what's helping to _ruin_ the NBA. Y'all think today's players are the only players that could do other things? Sure, they have more opportunities than players from the past, but that's not the argument I'm making. There are positions for a reason. They help set dedicated roles for each player on the court. The reason these guys keep running to other players trying to team up because they're taking away those dedicated roles for each position. We barely even have true centers in the NBA because teams are paying too much attention to the analytics.

It's funny how Curry got with the program just a few years ago. He realized that if he (Klay and Draymond) kept putting LeBron down, it might reflect on their legacy poorly. Meaning, since LeBron isn't that great, that would also mean that the Warriors weren't that great after all since they kept beating the Cavs. Funny how they pulled a 180 since '18 or so.

@@jonashardy9937Draymond isn’t a better passer. Not in the slightest. The reason why Draymond orchestrates the offense at times, is to allow Steph Curry to shift the defense off ball to get players open, and that’s where Draymond gets the OPPORTUNITY to pass to the open player, Steph having dismantled the opposing teams defense and keeping them on their heels. This gives players like Klay and others the ability to shoot shots that they wouldn’t get otherwise. Draymond holding the ball up top can also pull the big man out onto the wings, so GSW can get to the rim more often, AFTER Steph shifts the defense around, which makes it easier for other players to finish at the rim. Draymond is phenomenal in his own right, but that take is false. I’m not sure why folks push that narrative. Steph is one of the top 2 ball handlers in the league (Kyrie being #1). So, he can clearly bring up the ball. He’s also averaged 10 assists in the Mark Jackson era, so he can clearly pass well. The system is made to remove bigs from the paint and expose them on the wings.
