I think he is just the hardest player to guard at the position. And he is a great distributor, also a one man Fastbreak.
I was just using the players he listed. And yes, Wall is up there somewhere. I think I would put him right after Irving.
Westbrook, Curry, Paul all over Lillard. Come on now lol be realistic. I hate westbrook and paul a ton, but at this point in time, they are better than Lillard. BUT, Lillard could be better than both of them later on in Lillards' career.
It's so hard to rank the guards because many of them are so different in their play styles. Wall is one of the best play making guards because of his speed, ability to penetrate the lane and finish around the rim. Walker is like a hybrid John Wall/Damian Lillard - More on the wall side as in he's not as good of a scorer as Dame, nor is he as good a play maker as Wall. Dame is like a hybrid Curry/Westbrook in that he's not as athletically explosive as Westbrook, but more so than Curry, however he is not as good a shooter as Curry, but better than Westbrook. Conley and CP3 are probably the two best defensive point guards in the NBA. If I were to rank the top guards it would have to go like this 1. Curry 2. Westbrook 3. Lillard 3. CP3 3. Irving 3. Wall 7. Conley 7. Thomas 7. Lowry 7. Walker
After rewatching the Curry injury and listening to interviews of his teammates, I could see this being bad. He gets an MRI tomorrow and I wouldn't be surprised if he tore an mcl or acl or something.
ACL he'd be done; MCL he might come back in a few weeks or month. Yeah I was thinking meniscus tear. He could probably return in a couple weeks if he gets the damaged part removed. Nowadays most players instead get it repaired which is better long term; but he'd be out for the playoffs.
I don't like how cocky the Warriors have become and admit that I root for them to lose pretty much every time they play. But, I really hope Curry's knee just got sprained or hyper extended. I would never wish injury on anyone.
It looked like he banged his knee on the court more than anything. And he ran off on his own power. Did I miss something? Usually when you tear it it doesn't allow you to trot off the court, even with adrenaline.
