The Greatest Hoop Enigma of all time.

[2short]

I thought this was about Derrick Coleman?

I would've figured Maravich but Coleman's a good one.

pete had too many injuries but was still a marvel to watch
coleman should have been one of the greatest power forwards of all time but was lazy and didn't put any effort into the talent
who'd of thought that from that syracuse team, sekily (?) and sherm douglas would be better pros?

  Curry's a good shooter but that's about it. We wouldn't have beaten the Cavs in 2010 with him and probably wouldn't have gone as far last year. We'd probably have done about as well in 10-11.

Think that's selling Curry shot. Elite scorer, elite shooter, average passer, average defender.

I think saying that Curry would have gotten us farther in either 2010 or 2012 is selling Rondo short.  Rondo's performances in the Cavs series in '10 and the Miami series last season were nothing short of phenomenal.  We needed everything that he gave us to beat the Cavs and to take Miami to seven.  I don't think that replacing him with a shooter like Steph Curry would have yielded as much (never mind, more) success in those seasons.

Maybe. Rondo's skillset and Curry's skillsets are very well suited to those teams. Hard to tell.

Actually, yeah, previous to this season, injury history, performance, everything, I'd rather have Rondo.

This season and forward, Curry.

  Rondo's skillset is suited to dominating in the playoffs. We'll have to wait and see from Curry, but it's far from likely that it will happen.

Rondo's skillset is suited to dominating in the playoffs? Is frequently taking off regular season non-televised games but upping his level of play when people are watching considered a skillset?

I kid, but Curry will get his shot this year, probably. We'll see how he does.

I would like to point out that the great Steph Curry's Warriors have gone 5 and 11 over their last sixteen games.  At least they are still doing a good job of getting the kid his shots so he can look to score points above all else.

Are you arguing Rondo's points, and accusing someone else of being a stat-stuffer? For shame, Tim.

  Some people here would sacrifice farm animals to get players that look great against the Hornets instead of against the Heat in the playoffs. I kind of kid, but not really.

I am actually just trying to bring people back to earth from salivating all over themselves about young stars out there who can shoot the ball like Curry and Irving.  Those guys have talent, but they are far from being flawless, and I'm guessing that there are probably moments when as a fan watching them huck up yet another three in a losing effort, that it starts to get frustrating. 

It's a reminder that when the grass looks so much greener on the side to actually hop the fence and try to get a closer look.

Aw nuts. I legitimately misread that, and apologize to Tim. I knew that one was too easy.
