Nah, he's too wild. He'll shoot you out of a game just as well as he'll keep you in one. OKC won't win with the current Westbrook/Durant 'I chuck you chuck' offense.
shamelessly copying my post from the other Curry thread.
Amazingly after an MVP season and title he seems to have stepped his game up even another notch. Truly transcendent play right now. The amount of hours of sleep this guy has cost me as I stay up on the east coast to watch him on league pass.
For the first time in at least 8 years or so I think there's a real conversation about who the best player in the NBA is.

I thought he'd be pretty good to good but he's way better than I ever imagined or thought was possible.
Some players actually seem to be better in the NBA than in college.
Allen Iverson comes to mind.
These are special specimens.

He's not even the best player on his team.
His run with Davidson was insane. I wasn't sure if he'd be able to translate that to the NBA but clearly he has, and then some.
He was wetting threes the same way back then as he is now.

Kawhi vs Curry is going to be interesting. Kawhi has been destroying everyone he has to defend against.

Every time Curry has the ball is the chance for something spectacular to happen. Besides his silky smooth awesome shooting, his handles are one of, if not the best in the entire league. I mean look at this shit:
Ezeli botching the highlight for Curry
Seriously, that was some goddamn beautiful shit, what the fuck.
Who knows when we'll see someone like this again. Appreciate what you're seeing, folks, because we're witnessing history right here.

Supernova indeed
So the best player in the game today IS from Akron, OH.
Amazing.

PER isn't FG%
Unless you were being sarcastic. That PER over a whole season would be historically high. By nearly 15 units.

For shame, looking at the ball the whole time.

Haha!
no..initial bounce you see is off of a rebound. He grabs the ball then starts to dribble.

Right. Could you imagine how many championships Westbrook would have won if only he had help ....

Just remember that usually great backcourt scorers in the league shoot close to .500 from the field and .40-.45 from the 3 point line. Curry is obliterating those percentages and does it with volume (he's not taking like 3 or 4 3's a game. Dude is shooting above 10 3's a game.
His fg% is .595
3 point fg% is .488
FT% is .96
The 50-40-90 club is already pretty damn exclusive. If he shoots at this pace, he's going to be the founding member of the 60-50-90 club...

In fairness to Westbrook, he was the only one that really showed up against the Heat in that Finals.
How have I never seen this. Fantastic.That and him shakin the soul out of CP3 are my favorite Curry highlights

Curry is an even rarer generational talent than LeBron and Durant.
Didn't Durant have a better series? My memory is foggy but I remember Harden being flat bad, Ibaka as well and the team just looking not ready for the moment.

LeBron is pretty good at basketball.

Durant had his points but he was a big disappointment from what I remember.
He missed a lot of shots he usually makes.
Unless I am clouded by one game, I just don't think he looked like a gamechanger at all.
Yeah, Harden was especially awful. I laugh at people thinking the Thunder were batshit insane for getting rid of him. He can change my mind when he gets the Rockets to a Finals.

Both are phenomenal. But Steph Curry, in my opinion, has considerably more attractive finesse when handling the ball.

Sure, but LeBron can do pretty much anything.

LeBron is ultra clunky at times though being as productive as anyone.
Curry is smooth as Shakira's behind.

Agreed, but he's nowhere as attractive with the ball, to me, as Stephen Curry is.

That's fair, but that doesn't mean Curry is a rarer talent than LeBron.

Including no-look passes at the top of the threepoint line to guys not being guarded!!!

Yeah, but you were responding to my post in which I quoted a guy who did.
I think part of the reason Curry and the Warriors are playing so well right now is because they have a chip on their shoulder from people around the league saying they got "Lucky", and won the championship because of injuries to other teams.
The main person who said this was Doc Rivers, the coach of the Clippers.
The Warriors play the Clippers tomorrow night. I don't know what's going to happen, but I suspect that Curry and the Warriors will come out in ultimate FU mode right from the start. If they can score 200 on the Clippers, they will.

And my comment never said that. I was just quoting someone who was on the topic of LeBron and I decided to give my opinion on what I think of the two players when it comes to ball handling.

That is because Lebrawn just bullies his way around the court. Dude is huge, why wouldn't he.

He doesn't do it enough though or he'd be almost unstoppable.
He doesn't have that killer instinct.
Don't get me wrong, he certainly picks his spots and can be aggressive as fuck but so many times I have seen a little guy on him and he won't even take him to the rack.
One of these days he will realize that he's not Magic Johnson.

Okay. Great. He bullies people around the court. But my opinion still stands that because of this, he's not as attractive with the ball. I don't care what the reason for how he plays is. And I didn't say he isn't a good player. Stephen Curry has a more attractive style to me. That is it.
