He does not have a point. People always try and emulate the greats, you can make that point about any player.

The point is young people are trying to emulate a player who they can't be. Ignoring the fundamentals and skills they might have in pursuit of being the next Curry. Sure you can use any player as a example but the point remains the same.

It's just Jackson saying it that people have a problem with. If Hubie said it I'd doubt many would care he did.

Besides being the greatest shooter ever, Curry is an underrated all around player too.

I agree. You know how a child's mind works. It's the flashy parts of the game they emulate. It's why we have so many people who value scoring over all other parts of the game now. The fan mentality has also become child like.

Wall is the perfect example. Elite passer and great defensively but "he can't score" is often brought up. Averaging about 20 in the NBA is looked at as not being able to score in 2015.

Mann I caught that Mark Jackson comment during the game and I knew the media was gonna blow it up smh. It really wasn't that serious for Bogut to say all that. What a beef
 
bogut and barnes were the two that were glad jackson was gone
mark couldve just joked and said, "kids dont try this at home" etc but had to go with steph ruining the game and went into it like he was serious :lol:

Bogut never gives any damns. Why would that change when his teammate and MVP are getting criticized on Xmas day on National TV

Bogut was in the right for sticking up for Curry. Kind of wish he went in harder on Jackson

I see yall's point. I guess he could've gone with a better choice of wording. He was just making a statement - Curry excels at a rarely successful style of play, and everyone is trying to emulate that. if anything he was coming at everyone else in the world
 
Jackson just ignoring everything else that Curry does 

If anything Jordan and Kobe were bad for the game too then for their ball hogging, black hole and terrible shot selection ways. Dudes would consistently take on triple teams. Triple pump fake fadeaways

As soon as I heard what Mark Jackson said I knew the thread would turn it into some sort of shot at Curry :lol:

It sounded more like a compliment to me. Curry is one of a kind. Nobody else in the league can get away with pull up 3's on 3v1 fastbreaks or 35 ft threes with 15 seconds left on the shot clock. Kids shouldn't be trying to do that because nobody else has ever been able to do that :lol:

I didn't take it as a shot towards Curry, more so saying unnecessary things while ignoring other aspects of Curry's game

Like I said, Kobe and Jordan did things that consistently wasn't "good basketball", there's no reason to really mention that though without sounding somewhat bitter or ignorant

Wasn't the very next comment about how Steph does much more than just shoot threes? I remember he and JVG were discussing his ball handling, screen setting, cutting as things thenkids should try to emulate instead of just the threes. I just feel like every time he says something the thread turns it into him being salty :lol:

Did Jackson say that after? If he did then my mistake. Either way, I have don't have any ill will towards Jackson. I do think that he's making sweeping generalizations as if he watches every youth basketball game across the country and can confirm that the kids don't emulate the other things too
 
Also, on this Jackson thing, the increased emphasis on 3 point shooting started way before Curry's rise to prominence. It's probably like 10 years ago now that I started to notice people shooting way more 3s in pick-up games. Maybe Steph is causing more people to now shoot pull-up 3s on fast breaks and **** like that, but he's not the reason kids, etc. are disproportionately focusing on 3 point shooting. That started before him

jackson's point would have been better delivered using someone like Kobe, who every game I see is throwing up an air ball or two
