    ......and have any chance tut neutralize him is with a small, quick, and fast defender who can get low and disrupt Curry's dribble and force Curry to have to cover up his dribble. Gotta be able to get up into him on the catch so he can't simply rise and launch. But then a sin as he puts it on the wood that defender has gotta be able to disrupt the dribble.

    All the other type defenders, the skinny long guys, the bully strong guys, the guts of similar physical stature have no chance.

    Has to be a small, quick, fast player with stamina that can guard tight and recover and get low enough to constantly attack Curry's dribble.

    In the past every bballholic thread was a Rubio thread, but nowadays every bballholic thread is a Frank Mason thread.

    guys like KD and curry are unguardable no matter who you put on them as long as they are playing next to each other. and with guys like klay waiting next to them.

    an even smaller player isn't doing anything and has absolutely no chance and can actually put whatever team he's on in tougher situations when you can get mismatches all across the lineup with that player

    WHo was guarding him in the spurs series, when they were doing so well before Leonard went down?

    Or was curry still going off despite being down?

    I was talking about this with a friend

    It's funny that . . .when Shaq was in the game . .. people said it was ok to foul him because he was too strong
    and he was just bullying people

    Does not that same logic work on Curry because he is just too quick . . or other quick players?

    Allow he defenders to grab and pull and tug and hack all game long?

    Curry is not a Franchise player:


    Dave McMenamin‏Verified account @mcten



    Dave McMenamin Retweeted Tom Withers

    There are maybe 8 bet-the-house franchise changing solo talents in the league: LeBron, Kawhi, Harden, Russ, Giannis, AD, KAT and KD



    John Middlekauff @JohnMiddlekauff


    @mcten You don't think Steph is a franchise changer?

    @JohnMiddlekauff Without extraordinary teammates, he would not be a top 8 player I choose to build a franchise around. But he is incredible.

    Worked for the Cavs in Game 4 when they grab and held him all game and they didn't call it! IT's the Curry rule. Only way to stop him is to foul him every time.

    It's like Riley said, "you can't call foul on us everytime, so we're going to foul you everytime"

    just another person's choice interesting.
    I'll just say Giannis, AD, and KAT have yet to prove they can consistently lead there own teams to wins so i definitely dont agree with his list

    Everyone trying to take the Trumpian route now. Say ridiculous ****, get press, profit. Skip Bayless, Stephen A, Lavar Ball, Nick Wright, this clown, Paul Pierce saying KD is better than LeBron, etc. Welcome to the new world, fellas.
