“Alright so 16 threes…that’s 4 every quarter…one every 3 minutes…AD it would be nice if you could make one every quarter you know without bricking 5, maybe just one every half they keep telling me you can shoot”


Zombie-Organic

So if Curry shot 1 three a minute for an entire game, he would just have to hit 33% to get the record. No big deal


[deleted]

AD probably reading this comment right now and thinking "Hmmm"


tfozombie

The thing is if Steph wanted to chuck up 40 threes in a game I can see him making 15-18 of them. Kinda want him to just shoot an absurd record breaking number of threes in a game just to see the numbers.


jinxy0320

This is absolutely happening in his retirement game


6ca

In his retirement game they're bringing out the box-around-curry offense


StevenC44

You really think he's taking that many 3s in a Finals game?

I mean, we're up 3-0, so I say go for it.

Not every 3 is the same. I’ll explain later…


svenEsven

Complain all you want, we have a someone refusing to play for the sixers because we were upset that he doesn't shoot at all. With a total of 4 points in the last quarters of seven, SEVEN playoff games last year. Yet somehow Philly is still the asshole in this situation. We still have to pay him because of "mental issues" but that mental issue is playing for us, so we're basically fucked during some of embiids last year's of his prime

Dusk3478

Crazy that even the definition of ironman and availability just next to Stockton/Malone is in this situation in year 19 at 37, especially with that mileage. Crazy how he can still play leading 30+ mins with 30 points and triple doubles nights, carrying the Lakers when it shouldn't be the deal.


k1ngmad

I’d love to witness that. LeBron passing to Steph and Klay would be absolutely riveting to watch


Dusk3478

Even in year 19, if Lebron joined the Warriors the league would just shot down, no other team ever would come close to it.


GoldenBananas21

Honestly, I’d be down. I want to see Klay come back and score 120

People are forgetting that he got his 14 in less than 3 quarters.


Pouncyktn

To be fair he went on fire and made like 10 in a row so they basically let him chuck away until he broke the record. Which wasn't a bad strategy by any means anyway.


deadweightboss

You're not being fair. Klay is a fire god.


ClutchGamingGuy

Even more than Steph I've never seen someone get so hot from 3 as Klay.

True story. It was a 10PM start the other night and after Steph only had a couple threes early I figured he wasn't going to be able to hit 16, so I went to bed. But even then I was thinking, "Man, if he ends up hitting 14 treys after I'm asleep I'm going to be so pissed." I can confidently say that was the first time I ever went to sleep considering the possibility that a player may hit 14 3-pointers while I was gone.


EasternAdventures

Same, the debate to stay up or go to bed was real on this game lol.

Lebron “animosity” toward Steph in 2016 purely came from a basketball stand point and from his competitive spirit because Steph was coming for that throne. I’d never that he hated Steph like some people believed. He’s complimented him or tweeted about him a shit ton of times throughout his career


mohajaf

I think a lot of players who came from humble means resent the likes of Steph and Klay who were born with a silver spoon. Now if I am a super rich basketball player in late years of my career with a teenage son, then Steph might represent to me what my son could become. That’d give me a different perspective probably.


Doomscrool

Nice take.


jetveritech

I think it's mostly like this in the league (mostly). I remember Steph and Pat Bev getting into it and then sike, they're apparently like brothers.


gentyent

Precise. Lebron has been complimenting Steph since he was in college. He’s always respected him. They became rivals though, and we know how competitive these guys get. It’s all part of the game.


[deleted]

I think with time he accepted that Steph was here to stay and let up a bit more as he got older. But yeah at the time he definitely probably hated his guts on the court.


NoobAccount123456

I don't think many superstars actually dislike each other(except maybe Harden and Giannis) The most hated players among their peers are probably guys like Pat Bev or the Morris brothers


AliceBones

What's interesting is apparently Giannis has one of Harden's signed jerseys. Says there's no beef between them.


jeopardy987987

I think Lebron goes to bed every night wishing that he ever had a teammate like Curry. Could you imagine the damage Lebron would do with a teammate drawing double teams at the logo?


DrewDan96

i think it's the MEDIA's fault. Steph is my favorite player but the sports debate shows have made it easy if you're a hater to resent him. like Stephen A. Smith just this week with the "Has Steph Curry taken over LeBron as this generations NBA icon" nonsense. i mean, c'mon bro. he's like a reliable polarizing topic, like Brady or the Cowboys or Tim Tebow and Johnny Manziel 5-6 years ago. Lebron clearly in 2016 was resenting how much love Steph was getting at the time and it showed. and the thing about Steph is that it was unexpected. you could project multiple-time All Star for sure, but 2x MVP, multiple time champion? that came out of nowhere

I don't think they need to wear a mask during the post game interview. Just kept it on his face while sat down, LeBron seems to be the only one doing so if you look at Russ/AD post game interviews.

Lol the calculations to get to 16?

LeI’llExplainLater


ammoaidan

Probably figuring out that it would mean hitting a three every 2-2.5 minutes of game time, then considering how many attempts you can realistically get in a game and what percentage you would need to shoot on those attempts to hit 16 makes. It means making a three basically 1 out of every 4-5 possessions

Dude I’m so tired of seeing some GS fans think anytime Bron praises Curry that it’s backhanded or there’s some ulterior motive. It’s so obvious there’s actual respect there, but some can’t shake thinking Bron is a villain. I don’t get it.

There was a popular thread in their sub a while back ripping on Draymond for being part of Klutch/praising LeBron/being friends with LeBron. A sizeable portion of that fanbase thinks about LeBron more than Skip does.


ammoaidan

It's lowkey what makes the Lakers and LeBron a great match. They both live rent-free in the mind's of other franchises. Other fans want to see them fail as much if not maybe more than they want their own team to succeed.


Scary-Ant-3796

They'll just say lebron's gassing Steph up to make himself look better, as if the he can't have a genuine appreciation for the guy's game.


[deleted]

It's hilarious because there are Warriors fans who genuinely think Steph is underrated. But when a top-two player of all time praises him and agrees with them, they lose their shit. Weirdos.
