And regarding Jackson's words, by his logic, every superstar in every sport is bad for the game.

Not everyone can hustle like Pete Rose, so he's bad for the game.

Not everyone has Kidd's vision; bad.

Not everyone can be both as fast and strong as Bron, so he's bad.

Not everyone can climb and swing like Trout, so he's actually hurting baseball.

 Kobe gave us all middle fingers getting rings his own way

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

Nah JVG had to make that point. They were all pretty shocked because he wasn't wording it like "Kids are copying a guy who's a once in a lifetime shooter." He was saying "Steph Curry is ruining the game." Totally different.
 
Don't think Mark had any ill feelings with that comment.  People and the media would rather see something like this take place though.  

I think everyone knows by now that Curry is one of a kind.  He's certainly the new lead for the NBA because of his image and on court performance.  Something LBJ / HARDEN / KD / WB and various great players don't have either.

And with Bogut being salty?  Who cares about him.  He's on Cloud 9 and has no friends as evident of his past.  He finally finds some solace and closure w/ GS as a scrub filler.

[quote name="itsaboutthattime"]jackson's point would have been better delivered using someone like Kobe, who every game I see is throwing up an air all or two[/quote]I really think dudes switched with a quickness on him once he announced this is his final year. People used to come IN DROVES to say what you just said, but now if anyone says it, they get the stinkeye. "You nuts? Kobe a beast."

Essentially it boils down to do what works for you..

Kobe is 6'6' and was athletic as hell.. AI was an athletic freak, although not that big or tall


Kids trying to emulate them, would be worse off becaus there is very very few who have the other stuff to go with their games


Hell kids trying emulate white chocolate and them and1 dudes was horrible for the game too

[quote name="JsindaA"]Ska won't ever give Kobe any credit lol[/quote]False.

Dude has an infectious work ethic, pays attention to detail like a madman, and has incredible footwork.

And I've never gone too long neglecting to mention those things. I never said he was worthless or that he had no redeeming qualities, but people generally think in extremes, so if someone's words are not all good, then they must be all bad. :lol:

Would he be in your Top 10 all time? If not, top 15? 20?

That's just Ska's trademark posting style. It's like Eminem's flow or the way Chris Rock does stand-up.

No doubt. I find it hilarious. I may have not gotten that across originally. It was more of HOW he does it than it was THAT he does.
 
If playing one of the best seasons ever is bad for basketball, there's something else wrong, not Curry. "Curry is hurting the game" is an outlandish, bitter statement.
