Is Curry one of the best offensive players ever?

Yeah that's right, I'd take Kobe and Lebron and Tim Duncan over Larry Bird.

No disrespect to Larry Legend though, I think Jordan is unquestionably the greatest, but the 2nd through 12th best players ever are very debateable.

There's another angle to think about this. Bill Russell and Tim Duncan: one reason why they are great and became great is their team first mentality and ability to work within the team. Do think Russell could have dominated on offense if he really wanted to.

I dont think Russell had the offensive game to completely dominate. He only was a 44% FG shooter which is pretty bad for a big man. His greatness was really as an amazing defender, rebounder, and passer. Without question the ultimate team player that benefited from having a great core of players along side him.

One thing is for sure, these old dudes should keep their mouth closed and stop putting down the era of basketball. They may have a point, may be right, but they look petty as f**k saying it. Just don't say anything and let the game appeal for itself.

Reminds me of Jordan and his horrible HOF speech.

Could you imagine what the Curry for Amare trade fallout would have been like around here?

Very true. Also, the older guys didn't have zone defense to deal with. Things changed a lot from posting to up to players actually needing to develop a good jumper.
