Is Steph Curry the best shooter ever?

by **InTenSity** Thu 12 Nov 2015 - 22:47

Probably.

by **steveschneider** Thu 12 Nov 2015 - 22:50

Hmmm....

He takes a lot of terrible shots, but since he makes them are they terrible shots?

For my money Larry Bird is the best shooter ever. See the three point contest where he won it on the money ball.

He was a son of a bitch, but he was a winner.

Would you guys bang Rachel Nichols?

But yeah, probably.

Yes and yes. But I'm not super into redheads, so she'd have to do all the work.

Curry is good - real good. But let's not go sucking each other's dicks quite yet.

I'd take Pistol Pete, Rick Barry, Jerry West, Larry Bird, or George Gervin over him as a shooter.

In regards to Rachel Nichols....I'd bang that firebox like a gong.

Reggie had some great moments (the Garden especially) and sweet stroke - I was trying to go for some real old school dudes though.

Look Curry is really good but the other guys we've mentioned are Hall of Famers - let him play for another decade and then we can decide.

by **steveschneider** Fri 13 Nov 2015 - 9:25

Reggie Miller and Ray Allen should both be in the discussion. No question about it.

Got the age barrier working against me, shit Reggie was drafted before I was even born.

by Herbie Green Fri 13 Nov 2015 - 9:32

Yes. Probably

You children forget the best shooter of all time.....at least before Larry Bird made it an argument.

Steph Curry is easily the best shooter ever. You old farts may not want to admit it yet, but when all is said and done you'll come around. You can't seriously tell me any of the other guys listed here from decades ago are the best shooter of all time, just laughable.

Great list but you are underrating Curry. The guy is more much than real good. He's freaking unbelievable.

And I would also bang Rachel Nichols.

by **GRR Spartan** Fri 13 Nov 2015 - 11:00

In this era.
All time he's up there with Oscar Robertson and Pete Maravich.

by **kingstonlake** Fri 13 Nov 2015 - 11:16

Close. If he continues to improve he could pass Nick Stauskis for the #1 slot.

by **Rocinante** Fri 13 Nov 2015 - 11:56

I'd bang pretty much anyone, I'm not going to lie.

It cracks me up when people try to throw old timers in there. Curry made more than double the 3 pointers just last season than Gervin did in his entire career.
Oscar I never saw play, he might just be one of the best players ever but as I have gathered made his living scoring from mid range.
Bird, Marovich, Miller and many others you would have an argument.

by **Robert J Sakimano** Fri 13 Nov 2015 - 12:53

I'll go with Jimmy Chitwood.

Oscar Robertson's last season was '73-'74.
NBA began the 3 pointer in the '79-'80 season.

Curry is among the best but he's playing with rules friendly to his game.
Seriously, does anyone think Curry would have gone off for 46 against the Piston's Bad Boy teams before the league started instituting "Jordan rules".

That would have gone something like:
Curry makes two 3's in the first quarter.
Chuck Daly calls a time out.
Curry goes up for a 3 and Isiah knocks him in the mouth.
Curry goes up for another 3 and Dumars knocks him on his ass
Curry goes up for a three and Vinny Johnson knocks him out of bounds.
Draymond Green sets a pick for Curry and Mahorn knocks Green into Curry.

Curry is the best shooter the league currently has but the league's enforcement of rules makes his game possible.

The Big O is maybe the best ever player. No question. But his game was never about pure shooting. He backed defenders down, pulled up from midrange and the entire flow of the game went through him.

He averaged a triple double one year.

But for pure shooting, Curry is far better.

Then Curry dominates, the Pistons cry like little bitches and the Warriors go on to win 6 NBA titles while other teams attempt to employ the same failed tactics?

WAY before my time, but wasn't Gervin known for his finger roll?
