A career 4.4 free throw per game for a top 5-10 player of all time. And that free throw number will decrease as he gets older. Think about that for a second. He ain’t getting no free handouts like most of these cats
No one is denying Steph is a generational player( except for the media haters ). Steph already has enough fans rooting for him. That why I rep Draymond, Wiggs, Loons, Podz, Moods, and ect. Gotta show them love too.
This is why he’s the best scorer in the league. He doesn’t live at the FT line
GOAT
Is that two tech free throws? Or an and 1? So basically no one ever fouls steph
4 total free throws. Made 2 of them.
That many points with a gtand total of 2 free throws is FUCKING LUNACY, I’M LOSING MY MIND
I cannot wait for more of the young kids(age 6-10) who watched Steph light up their world in 2014-2016 come into the league and give him flowers as he nears his 40’s. Plenty say he was their fav and some say that then switch up later ( SHAI!!! Hoe ass is a good example) thankfully we have the Ja’s,podz,Ant edwards, and a few more who give appreciation about him being their fav player growing up.
There should be a true scoring stat or something that shows how many ppg they score without fts. Bet Harden and Embiid will have line 15-20ppg
If we was under Nike, steph would have gotten the FTs he deserves lol
League’s best scorer by a mile. Not like the other FT merchants out there
Not to mention, he is getting beaten up all over the court and gets no calls, or gets fouled shooting and gets no call. Just a swallowed whistle. I like to compare it to Shaqs quote about how he used to get fouled constantly and everyone knew it but they didn’t call it, and then commissioner stern I believe had a meeting with Shaq and basically said we know you’re getting fouled but we can’t call them all or it’ll make the game last forever.
It’s definitely different but it’s somewhat similar. In curry’s case it’s more that he would score like 30 points easy and be in the 40-50 range. Plus he’s not their poster child, lebron is.
Which is why my hot take is that Steph Curry is not only the greatest shooter ever but also the greatest scorer ever. His pure scoring ability with little to no free throws is second to none. Obviously his three point shooting needs no introduction but I think his driving, finishing, and midrange has actually gotten better year after year as he’s gotten older. 2016 is his best season. But Steph in his 30s/in the 2020s is the best, most complete, and most versatile he’s ever been in my opinion. I do think his age might be starting to show here and there. But I honestly think he’s gotten better as he’s gotten older.
I am casual nba watcher, only watches steph curry games. I don’t know why is he not more celebrated.
This why his 30+ games really feels like 30pts not like some all star starters that makes a few buckets and shoots a bunch of fts to score 30 lol
I’ve seen basketball since 1996 in the Jordan era and I have to say Curry is truly a unique and exceptional player he’s easily a Top 5 player of all time.
– In a game of throwing a ball trough a basket he’s arguably the best of all time doing that. There is a video of him making 105 threes in practice one after another.
– He transformed how the game is played in the modern NBA, wheter you like it or not that’s and undeniable fact.
– He may no be the tallest, strongest, fastest but the sheer talent to shoot, ballhandling, court visión, gravity, and terror that this guy displays to opponents is insane.
– He’s a likeable and genuine, never seen a player that in every court is respected and cheered even by an opposing crowd, maybe Duncan is close.
Needs to be in /r/nba.
