That Nets pick not protected, SMH at what that front office did to the franchise

But at least we were competitive for 2 years!!!

 

[BlackAX410]

So it's rumored we've contacted the Rockets about Dwight, we do need rim protection but I'm not sure how it would fit

 

[ckfree]

This has to be worst shit I've seen from ESPN. This is just garbage. I've never seen a player get slurped like this. So you telling me there's only 22 better players that have ever played in the NBA? That would put this nigga like 4th team All NBA all time. GTFOHWTBS!!!!!!

ESPN is the worst man. No sports network is worst than ESPN.

I think he's the best shooter ever, but 22? Nah bruh.

Nigga him beng the best shooter ever is debatable too. He's played 7 seasons. Ray Allen, Steve Nash, Mark Price, Steve Kerr, Kyle Korver, Reggie Miller. Those dudes put in work for more than a decade. Curry is a great shooter right now but god damn can we at least let his career playout first. Think about it. He's in his 7th season and the noise ain't start until last year. Chill out.

Wasn't even finals MVP. Only 3 All Star games. Doesn't play defense. I think he only has one triple double in his whole career and he got it in January.

Lol that ESPN ranking really got you feeling some type of way. I've never given a shit about any of those lists.

Elgin Baylor

Honors

11-time All-Star, 10-time All-NBA selection, Rookie of the Year (1958-59), Hall of Fame

Championships

None

Career stats

27.4 PPG, 13.5 RPG, 4.3 APG, .431 FG%

Baylor ranks third in career points per game, trailing only Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain. He also holds the record for most points in a single game in the NBA Finals with 61. -- ESPN Stats & Info

Baylor couldn't beat out a dude who's resume looks like this.

Stephen Curry

Honors

MVP (2014-15), three-time All-Star, two-time All-NBA selection

Championships

One (2015)

Career stats

21.8 PPG, 6.9 APG, 4.2 RPG, .442 3FG%

Curry owns the two highest single-season totals of 3-pointers ... and he's on pace to smash his own record this season.

I'm more aggy about the disrespect of Baylor than the love for Curry. It's BSPN tho. It's what they do.

 

[blu197]

It's obvious they're ranking Steph based on potential, just like how Shaq was named top 50 All Time only 4 seasons in the league.... If Steph plays 8 more seasons with atleast 4 out of the 8 at the level he's been playing at the these last 2, then I don't see an issue with him being top 25, especially if he gets more MVPs/Titles in the next 4 years.... He took a dead franchise and is giving them historic seasons..

Wtf @ me agreeing

 

[Peezy_Jenkins]

Curry has more than 1 triple double, is an avg not ass defender and shooting wise only Nash Ray and/or Reggie could fuck with him

 

[playmaker88]

Homey got to cook a lot longer than that.. but yall know its ESPN he just has to play and inevitably he'll get there. But ESPN gon ESPN

He's an ass defender. He never guards the PG on the other team. Klay does that. He couldn't guard Delly in the finals. I get the whole well he could maybe one day be as good as the players the ranked him above but he's halfway done with his career. He's already had two injury plagued seasons. Statistically he would have to average better numbers than he currently is for at least another 10 years to even compare with any of the greats.

That's assuming he's not gonna fall of in 10 years when he's 38 years old. Do you realize that Steph is only 3 years younger than Lebron and he's 5 years older than Kyrie, Anthony Davis.
