    Scottie looking for some attention. He knows better than this. The game has always been about scoring. Great scorers always made a difference.

    true, for the most part

    however, in the age of hand-checking and physical defense, Curry would have faced a lot more resistance in the 80's and 90's. Still, guys with games similar to Curry like Mark Price and Jeff Hornacek and Hersey Hawkins were all-stars back then and none of them could shoot like Curry

    I think hand checking just makes Curry a better defender. Certainly would make dame better as strong as he is.

    Couldn't find much on this guy. Did average almost 7 rebounds a game in 17 minutes in G-league. Why only 17 minutes? In limited time in the NBA 3.4 stocks per 36 minutes.

    ok...that's a different direction

    you were talking about great scorers always making a difference, and obviously Pippen was talking about dominant scorers, not average defenders

    Kinda just put it together. He still shoots well no matter what year he plays.

    I agree. I just don't think he'd get open shots as easily as he has thru his career
