NBA Tonight

Depends on what rules they play by. IF they play by 70's rules then yes. If they play by todays rules current Dubs would blow both teams out.

Who are "the Dubs"?

 

[Billo_Really]

Neither of those 2 older teams would know what hit them if they played by todays rules.

'74 warriors didnt have a better shooter than Curry. No such person has ever existed in the history of the NBA.

Yeah they did. And he shot a career 91% from the line. He also filled it up from distance in a league that had no 3 point shot.

Curry is at 90% and he isnt even done. No one has filled up it from distance like Curry. Its not even close. Besides Barry wouldnt be able to guard anyone on Dubs now except maybe Brandon Rush.

I'm not so sure, this team is winning by some big numbers against som e good teams. The are playing real good team ball and that front line is getting better.

The '72 Lakers beat a lot of teams by 20 points or more. And the Splash Brothers can't run that fast break if they don't have the ball; I don't think Drayvon can outrebound Wilt. Or Happy Hariston. West is a better clutch shooter than Curry and Goodrich has more "O" than Thompson.

As for the '74 Warriors, they have a better shooter than Curry. And if that isn't enough, two words....

...Clifford Ray.

Barry could light it up with the best of them. Not sure if I'd put Curry there yet. But they are close.

Barry is the only person of any credibility that doesnt think Curry is a better shooter than him and he wont even come outright and say it. Instead he says its not fair to compare since people in his era didnt have the 3 point line. Everyone else has long ago conceded Curry is the best shooter the NBA has ever seen. He can do it off the dribble or catch and shoot. No one has been able to do that in the history of the NBA as well as Curry can.

Its also the opinion of the best shooters the game has ever known. Of course I'm entitled to it. I already knew that.

He hasn't done anything Jerry West didn't do. West could shoot off the dribble, catch and shoot, go to his right or left and was the greatest clutch shooter in the history of the NBA. West was also on the all defensive team 12 out of 14 years.

There were a lot of guys who shot as well as Curry:

• Oscar Robertson
• George Gervin
• Nate Archibald
• Pete Maravich
• Andrew Toney
• Isiah Thomas
• Gail Goodrich
• Bernard King

Wilt Chamberlains field goal percentage for an entire season was 74%.

None of them shot as well as Curry including Jerry West. I saw you tube on West and he wasnt even in the discussion.

Wilt Chamberlain didnt shoot 3 pointers or even long 2 pointers.

 

[Papageorgio]

My best would be Bird, West, Allen, R. Miller. Those to me are the top, you could toss Kobe in the discussion also. Mullins was pretty good also. For all the rave about assists and steals, Stockton was a good shooter. I think Curry is up there but I am not sure he is the best.

Didn't have 3's to shoot back then.

Yeah but the court was still laid out like it is today. Wilt did most of damage in the paint. Pretty sure he wasnt out there knocking down long 2's off the bounce.

He did shoot a few long range jumpers but when you are over 7' you can shoot in the paint a lot easier than I upside. Of course Dirk has a pretty good outside shot.

You forgot Dana Barros and Nash.
