Riiiiiiiiiiight
Sincerely, I thought KBY's collage is amusing.
By starting a thread for Curry Jokes I hope to take them out of the context of real basketball discussion and detach them from their subject, fictionalizing them like Polish Jokes. That way fictions that have taken on a truth in peoples minds, like the fiction that Curry doesn't attend to his conditioning, can not replace real facts in a quality discussion.
I would hope, seeing as how you don't think Curry is all that fat and all, that you would appreciate that.
Again Riiiiiiight.
Once again you and I with the round about conversation. Tell me one thing that I've said about Curry that was unfair?
He is the topic of discussion on the board for a reason. He is the centerpiece of the organization right now. When his positives outweigh his negatives you will hear the board focus on those. In the meantime you will hear the board focus on the negatives. That's reality. It's NY. It's why it's so hard to be a franchise player in NY. If the player can't handle it, he shouldn't be here. GM's have to know that only certain players can handle the scrutiny. So far I haven't seen evidence that he can't, but I've seen plenty of evidence that some fans can't.
My opinion on Curry is simple, and again I challenge you to find something that's unfair. And if you disagree with something than point that out and we can discuss it. I feel Curry has the physical tools to be one of the best players in the game today. With some polish he could get his PPG up around 25. With his size and athletic ability he could average 10-12 rebounds per game and at least 1 block(and that's being generous) per game. In my mind he is a tremendous talent that to this day has not shown the mental attitude and work ethic to take advantage of all his skills. Can he one day? Of course. Will he? I have no idea. Like any Knick fan, I know he's here for the long haul and I pray that he figures it out. In the meantime he needs to rebound and play D.
Again, point out something in my post that is unfair. If there is, we can discuss. If not, than what's your complaint? Is it possible that you are taking his criticism far too seriously? The guy has flaws, he is our centerpiece, so fans are going to talk about them. That's life.
