Wonder if there were idiots at Davidson who thought Curry hurt them

[Loose Cannon]

Mr. Police, I would like to report a murder

Brilliant.

[Galway Eagle]

You may want to go check who Curry played at davidson.

13 regular season games against P6 competition in his career, is that what you meant? Because that's not a great argument.

[wadesworld]

Would you like to name more then one player? Or does your All time players list usually consist of 2.

PS Do you even know who Bob McKillop is? Because he's certainly not one of the two best players in Davidson history...

[Loose Cannon]

It's truly amazing how much you missed his original point by.

Air ball.

[Billy Hoyle]

I can't believe there are actually people who don't like Markus Howard.

Does he play bad some games and still shoot the ball a lot? Yes. Does he occasionally miss an open teammate and end up taking a difficult shot or turning the ball over? Yes.

But he's one of the best college players of this generation. And literally every unbiased analyst says just that.

Best scorers, not players. He's not even the best player in the country this season.

That Curry shot more than Howard? Only because he, well, simply played more? Shocking.

this is one of those arguments you get into while glancing over stats while not looking at the full picture. Curry literally was his team. And still managed to get them involved. Howard has been around top recruits his entire time in college, and still couldn't do what Curry did.


Howard is a good player, but Curry levels? Are you kidding?

Had Howard been surrounded with top recruits he would of scored a lot less in his career at MU.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Auburn: 1
Unleash: -12.5

Not only that, but Auburn did it in at least 1500 fewer words. That's efficiency

[Lighthouse 84]

Fail.  Enjoy your beer.  Enjoy the win.  Stop posting.

And here I thought Rocky was giving Unleash a vacay for his priest comment....

[lawdog77]

Unleash now, you know how Chico's feels.

That Curry shot more than Howard? Only because he, well, simply played more? Shocking.

Steph Curry:  3,387 minutes played.  862 2 point shot attempts.  1,004 3 point shot attempts.

0.551 shots attempted per minute

Markus Howard:  3,747 minutes played.  900 2 point shot attempts.  988 3 point shot attempts.

0.504 shots attempted per minute

Shocking.

Unleash is who this meme was made for.  Now lets cure cancer.

[The Sultan]

This is a very typical example of how a fanbase can view a player who does some frustrating things.  And an example of how someone's legend can be amplified with the passage of time.  Curry was great.  But he missed a lot of shots.

The bottom line is that Marquette's all time leading scorer and All American has one game left to play at home, and some of our fans STILL don't appreciate him and downgrade his impact.

Very Scoopy thread. Good clean Scoopy fun.

Honest questions for Auburn:

IIRC, Curry carried Davidson to to Elite 8 his junior year at Davidson. By your metrics who was the #2 player on that team and where did he rank on your "value added" chart?

When we lost by 20 in round 1 of Howard's junior season wasn't our #2 guy a top 25 value added guy?

How often does a team have 2 players in the top 25? How have those teams performed in the tournament?

Thanks.

don't forget the one game against Loyola Maryland where Curry was double-teamed the entire game so he deferred to his teammates, taking only three shots and letting the rest of the team play 4 on 3 and win by 30. Defenses were designed around stopping him specifically.

Are we watching the same games? Seems to me like defenses are almost always designed around stopping Markus specifically for the past two seasons.

I need to drink more often.

That was fun.
