    Do you really want me to start posting Curry's efficiency ratings? He makes Dame look like a fucking joke.

    Calm down man. I'm talking about their games, not leadership. Obviously dame is a better person and leader.

    PER = Flawed
    Ast and DRtg are highly effective by who's around you, as well as the teams play style. Sweet stats bro!

    Shit. With your logic, I guess we could diminish CJs skills as of now by lumping first two seasons into some "cumulative stats" to compare him to lesser players as well.

    Better than completely dismissing someone. Trump seems horible so far, but he has decent ideas on some things

    Dame has yet to eat a jar of Vaseline or move to China so I don't see the comparison

    The thing is, if Arenas had his head on straight, and was healthy, he would've been a top 10 player for years.

    But because he was an idiot who was always hurt, it ends up as an overall negative comparison to Dame, for reasons that couldn't be further from relevant in terms of Dame.

    Marbury in this era would be a perennial all star (in the east anyway).

    Seems?

    I'm not dismissing it. I'm stating how it's bullshit all throughout this thread.

    We are talking about game vs game. Not the other shit. If you want to call him a better player because of the peripheral stuff then fine. I dont care. But the stats are eerily similar to the two. On the court there definitely were some similarities of their game.

    Dames TS% is 5 points lower than Curry's. Marbury's is 4 points lower than Dames.

    So if you think Curry's a bullshit comparison, and don't think yours is, then your showing your hypocrisy.

    In what way? He IS poor defensively. He doesn't really make his teammates better

    Marbury's a dildo. Lillard isn't.

    Simple.

    Okay, but there's many other payers with stats just as similar, just seems ironic then, that you'd use Arenas as a comparison in a thread comparing Dame to Marbury while a big portion of the fanbase has been Dame bashing.

    I explained this to you yesterday, and you had no response, and now you're saying I'm dismissing you?

    Again: "Lillard can't MAKE Aminu hit 3s. Turner isn't a player than anyone can MAKE better. Lillard couldn't MAKE Plumlee finish at the rim like a real big man. Lillard can't MAKE Meyers hit 3s or okay strong in the paint. Lillard has MADE Harkless better (which is why he plays better with starters). "

    @Mediocre Man And the 2nd part ties it full circle to how you agreeing with Canzano's bullshit was, well, bullshit:

    "When you have a 1-on-1, elite level scorer next to you (CJ), you're gonna get less assists. When you only have 1 player other than that he can shoot decently, you're gonna have less assists. When you have big men that play soft and don't finish in the paint, you're gonna get less assists.

    Canzano (and anyone who agrees with him, for that matter) is an absolute idiot."

    I never said you dismissed me. But you're naming a lot of players that he didn't make better. That's kinda the point
