    WOW! Are you kidding me? How do you even guard this dude? He can just pull up from anywhere and drain jump shots at will. I'm not a big NBA fan or watch that much aside from the finals, but ...... wow. Never seen someone shoot the ball and so unguardable.

    Yeah I have not been much of a fan since the Jordan years, but holy smokes he is doing some incredible stuff right now. Selfishly I am hoping that the Bull's record does not get beat!

    He's even better than last year. MVP and most improved player at this point.

    He's lights out. It's like he's shooting into a rim twice the size of NBA regulation. I think the Cavs played him well in the first few championship games but they ran out of steam. You have to be physical and have someone literally follow his every move on the court to even have a shot to guard him. Even then, he finds a way.

    Steph can make shots because he doesn't exert himself playing defense.:)

    Honestly...and this is tough, he may very well be one of the best pure shooters we ever see in the game. Long way to go, but that is the direction he's going.

    Take defense off if you can pull up from just inside half court and shoot it like a free throw.

    Ty in Indianapolis this week and was having lunch with the people from the convention center and local chamber. We were talking about about the Pacers and they mentioned the the game when steph comes to town is sold out way in advance, Steph has become one of few players that sell out stadiums in cities he travels to. Indy has an awesome downtown btw.

    That shouldn't be tough to say. Curry is one of the best shooters in the history of the NBA.

    The NBA isn't my favorite but it's easy to turn on a GS game. Fun to watch and seems like a level headed guy.

    Sports in general have gone to soft. I don't even watch them any more. I used to watch the NBA, and its just got to soft you can't even hand check any more. These guys now are babied like to see them in 80's or early 90's. That's when it was a man's game.

    The talent level in the NBA is at an all time high. The game is better than it has ever been. Hand checking was done away with for good reason, it has no place in the sport of Basketball. It's a game of finesse, not a rugby or football match.


    Steph and Lebron are definitely the top two players walking today. Anthony Davis may very well be number 3.

    I do prefer playoff basketball over regular season, more physical and some d played.

    That's the exact reason I am a huge advocate of shortening the season. Hard to care about individual games when there are 82 of them.

    Shorten the season to 58 games. This allows you to play every team exactly twice, one home and one away. Everyone has identical schedules so there is no crying about schedule disparity. With a shortened season, there are less all stars sitting out games to rest, less meaningless games, and more effort every night out.

    The hard part to swallow is the increase in price for merchandise or tickets... NBA won't willingly give up 1/3 of its games in revenue without accounting for it elsewhere.

    It is hard watching him play at this level when there is no question he should be on the Timberwolves. The dumbest F N GM of all time in all of sports didn't just pass up on him once but twice taking the same position he plays. David Kahn F*** **O!!!

    I don't know about most improved improved player but he's a little better than last year. I think Andrew Wiggins is more improved than Steph Curry compared to last year.

    I don't think the t-wolves could've kept him here for long though. Eventually someone would pay more than the wolves could afford.
