Streetball handles plus long range sniping....fun stuff to watch. No one has ever been as effective as Curry at it though.
Psh, not impressed. I mean, he has to look at the ball while he's dribbling, that's bad fundamentals.
The video is pretty cool. But I think Steph overall isn't a great role model for team basketball. You've got kids all over the world now chucking threes like they're nobody's business with two guys in your face and five feet behind the line. The last few months playing ball, even older people are doing it. Terrible basketball... I argued the same for people emulating Kobe or Jordan too. I want to see people emulating Robert Horry or Mutombo. Now we'd be getting somewhere.
Therealdeal is spot on. The last couple of years I've notcied a bad general shift in play style from just playing pick up basketball. Everyone thinks they're Steph Curry now. They run down launch 3s, don't play any defense, don't pass the ball. It's not good at all. I'm only 32 but I feel like the old geezer playing basketball since I'm always yelling at these "kids" (16- early 20s) to get back on defense and stop launching stupid 3s.
What's worse is I'm seeing people in their 30s now doing the same thing. When I tell them off for it they tell me it's what basketball is now. Ugh...
Every superstar had the same impact through the years ... Not sure how it's worse than guys trying to copy MJ fadeaway or Kobe's one over two defenders after a pumpfake
It's not much worse, but still stupid and I've heard high school coaches complain a lot actually about the mentality from these younger kids.
Yep, players doing things they have no business doing. Hit one out of six to eight...get confidence...keep on chucking.
