Trae Young better than Doncic and better than Curry at the same age! Let the debate begin.

You're proving my point with your own words. I'm a die hard college basketball fan. Steph was magical in college. His game didn't immediately transfer over to the pros. Not because of Monta but because he wasn't physically able to do those things against NBA competition at 22. You keep bringing up college incessantly because you don't know dick about Steph, the pro, at 22.

That's exactly why I mention shooting all the time. Because they're both bad on defense, so since that cancels each other out, you're left with offense... and there is no chance Trae Young is a more skilled offensive player than Steph Curry was at 22. Steph went 19/6 shooting 48/44/93 as a 22 year old and he wasn't even the focal point of the offense. I mean, how ridiculous can you be to think Trae Young is better than that just because he has the ball more and accumulates more stats. Ridic

@DogbiteWilliams

 No point guard is ever really a good defender. It's simply a size thing. Trae Young is small as shit and will especially never be a good defender but Steph isn't either. Even guys like Ive who is credited with being a good defender is on record saying, "I wasn't a good defender. I'm too small. That's why they surrouded me with defenders." Even guys like Pat Bev are more pesky than good. Pat Bev could never be a defender like Jordan or Kawhi who are both 6'6"-7" with long arms and big hands. Or even Kobe who was built like Jordan even though he lacked his arm length and hand size.

hey,i looooooove watching curry...one of the most entertaining,compelling,joyous sights to watch in sports history in my view...but we talkin about jordan here,dude was an alien...my guess is that there are PLENTY of americans that have strong affiliations to their own local team outside of chicago that still see "air" as their favourite guy...dude was just a mesmerising,athletic freakshow.basketball perfection.

but maybe your emotional ties are clouding your vision.hehe......i think jordan should actually just be in a class of his own,outside of any other basketball player ranking category

@StumpTownStu

im pretty sure you/me are replying to an algorithmally-programmed bot..do you not get the same sense??throwdemdarts literally refuses to address anything youve written in the past 15 pages and instead has just repeated the same 7 line cliche-riddled paragraph over and over again.talkin bout "most skilled offensive yada yada yada"..."48/44/93 yada yada yada.."

I don't know what you actually watched. Trae Young does not seem much different to me than he was in college other than normal NBA experience. I honestly thought he could be the next Steph because he had good handles, he played a little like him, but he just needed to become a better shooter.  It's been 3 years since college and he's just as bad of a shooter. I don't know what else to say. You're being blinded by the team success of the Hawks. He's still the same guy in college that has the ball in his hands, gets 8-10 assists per game, takes a ton of shots, and shoots at a poor %. I just don't know what you are watching that makes you think he has gone from college to now and developed in to a better player than Steph did at that age. He's not even a top 100 shooter in the league. That's a deal breaker for a guy who's not good on defense.

@ThrowDemDarts

I did not mention Steph Curry in my comments.

Stockton was rated as a very good defender.

@melossinglet

 Jordan is the best but not my favorite. It's almost like Jordan can't be anyone's favorite. He's just Jordan. It's like someone saying their favorite band is the Beatles or the Rolling Stones.

My favorite band is the Quintet of the Hot Club of France featuring Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli - hot swing jazz from the Thirties and Forties.

Good stuff! I'm impressed!

I an glad you are enjoying the exhilirating music.  Miss Annabelle Lee is my favorite song of theirs:

Young wins in Milwaukee when the great Jimmy Butler and Kevin Durant could not. How stupid the naysayers on this thread look now. How ill informed. How ignorant. How totally clueless about the game of basketball. 

30% from 3 in pretty much the best game of his career.

Wow..Trae Young and the Hawks won in Milwaukee.....I will sure remember that in 10 years......

boy oh boy,just imagine if steph curry was this good at 22...or 23 or 24 even..dude might have 5 or 6 championships!!

so good seeing someone this accomplished at the tender age of just 22.curry was really slacking,huh?

tell me what you remember of curry's "huge" playoff wins in his first 4 years in the league..

oh wait....never mind.

simple-minded...tunnel vision...plain stupid.

or a bot?

you be the judge.

Every word out of their mouths just proves their ignorance. Hey, Dave, go f yourself you ignoramus. You are not man enough to admit you were wrong because you have the ego of a child. 

you 2 really do look stupid here...you are both too pig-headed and arrogant to concede but all the people with functioning brains see whats going on here.

1)NEITHER of you,throwdemdarts or davemsh,have replied yet to the question of did you even watch curry play regularly in his 1st 4-5 years in the league...ya know,before he was famous.and i think everyone reading knows exactly why you havent answered that.

2)its so fuccing obvious that stevie wonder can see by now that young is MUCH more advanced in handling the ball,navigating through an elite defense,finishing at the rim,sneakily drawing fouls,passing in all manner of ways and just generally infusing his squad with confidence via his leadership and moxie.

and yet the best that you utter dopes can come up with is......"uh,but he not shoot good...uggga-bugga-ugga!!!"

@melossinglet

Much more advanced ball handling than pretty much the most skilled offensive player to ever touch a basketball. You crack me up. You guys act like Steph Curry started dribbling when he was 23.

and........here........we.....go........for the 254th fuccing time.you must surely be one of the dumbest people on covers.congrats..thats quite a title to hold in a very competitive category i must say.you literally have about 42 words in your vocabulary and just regurgitate them over and over and over again,desperately hoping that nobody notices your complete inability to engage in critical thought or nuanced debate.

i reckon kyrie is more skilled than curry offensively but whatever,you can have your fantasy for the sake of argument..okay,fact of the matter is that yes curry DEVELOPED,did you read and understand that word??DEVELOPED!!!! into the most skilled offensive player to ever play..he wasnt it when he first came in the league,he wasnt it in his second year in the league,he wasnt it in his third year in the league..FIND ME A PERSON WHO EVER CALLED HIM THAT IN HIS FIRST THREE/FOUR YEARS IN THE LEAGUE....i'll wait....Still waiting.

any clue why he was never called that back then,dopey???hmmmm..any ideas??anything??bueller...bueller...bueller...bueller......no,of course you dont have any idea,you didnt even watch the guy regularly back when warriors were an absolute dumpster fire in the andries biedrins era.

the reason is cos he wasnt it at that point in time..he made HUGE IMPROVEMENTS all around in his game after the age of 21,22,23..are you trying to argue this??that he didnt make huge strides in all areas outside of shooting in that time period??

why the fucc was he an mvp at the age of 27 and not even close to being in the conversation at 22-25????..did the entire league just become trash in the years he won it so they gave it to him by default???..or maybe....juuust maaaayyybe he kept on improving and improving and rounding out his game,plus played with better players which helps a whole lot....ya think???maybe??

@melossinglet

He averaged 19/6, shooting 48/44/93 as a 22 year old in the nba. How much more developed do you expect a 22 year old in his 2nd year in the nba to be?
