You should stop while you aren't too much further behind, if thats possible.

No draft pick this year, no head coach, Jackson will only pick from the triangle tree, several free agents have already balked at the triangle, many other teams have the same amount of cap space or more than the Knicks...

It's bleak, man. No lollipops, rainbows, or ray of sunshine until the June 2017 draft.

Honest question...you say "several free agents", i only remember Rondo saying something about the triangle. Who else has mentioned it specifically that is an upcoming free agent?

We heard last summer that a few guys were not interested in the Triangle. I honestly don't remember who, but those were the whispers last summer.

I am just curious if Chuck can name these "several free agents". He has produced a ton of false information to support his claims recently on a variety of topics, which i have called him out for several times and he did not respond to. I won't say this is one of those times, i will give him the benefit of the doubt until he responds. I only remember Rondo saying something, i would like to know what other upcoming free agents said something about the triangle.

Must be a typo like Goink. Remember people that the 3 point line was shortened to 22 feet from the current 23'9 that it is now during Abdul-Rauf's prime(1994-1997), yet he still failed to leave a mark in NBA history. They restored it back to 23 feet 9 inches for the 1997-1998 season.

You still under the hot garbage delusion that Phil was saying that Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf and Curry are comparatively equal? Or perhaps there is some wiggle room there that each has some similar traits?

You know what's even sadder, is Abdul-Rauf was a very decent player. Now he's being brought back into the public spotlight for all the wrong reasons for Phil's unnecessary tweet.

Just like when Phil brought negative shine on Shawn Bradley's career to compare to Porzingis, even though he was a really good shot blocker, just not the gifted freak KP6 is.

That's the whole point of this thread...why bring these things up at all? All he does is shyt on players and teams on twitter. He should take a step back off that high horse once in awhile.

Clearly Curry is an MVP whereas MAR was a very good player for 4-5 years in the mid-90s. But if you watched MAR (I did as I spent some time in Denver in the 90s), it's very comparable and/or reflective to see a player from 20 years ago pulling up for long 3s off the dribble, with a great handle and ability to get his shot off despite defenses focusing on him. I've watched MAR pull up from 30, hit multiple 3pters in a row, clutch shots etc... So while MAR never came close to achieving what Curry is doing, it's strange why so many people are taking issue with Phil reflecting back to another great shooter who played a similar style. Maybe he is annoyed at Kerr, jealous of the record being broken... or maybe he's trying to say, "I've kinda seen something like this before."

But no doubt, Curry is taking things to an unprecedented level. From a fan perspective, Curry's performances remind me of how fans felt in the early 90s when Jordan was showing such a killer instinct and rising above all these other great players (Barkley, Magic, Bird, Ewing, Olajuwon). Don't remember getting that excited watching a player in today's current day, as his skill set and determination are remarkable. And the fact that he doesn't rely on athletic ability or speed suggests he should be able to perform at this level for years to come.

Its interesting, when Phil brought up this comparison, i actually felt like i had heard that before. Sure enough, MAR is listed as the comparison from Curry's draft prospect profile on nbadraft.net. It doesn't mean anything, but just proof that stylistically this isn't the first time they have been compared. As far as on the court performance, there is no comparison. But as Phil clarified, he is referring more to style than substance.

Hey Chuck, still waiting for you to list these "several free agents" who spoke ill of the traingle, besides Rondo. Or are you just going to ignore it every time you get called out for posting lies and exaggerations?

Stay on topic.

Thank you for acknowledging.

Yeah i waqs wondering that myself. Lets see if ole Chucky can come up with a real answer on that one.

Comparing Steph to Chris would be a disservice to all the work Steph put in to get to this point.
