The other point to make here, and perhaps somebody has already, is that the 3 point line drastically impacts defensive strategy.
In Oscar's day, defenses would not have to extend nearly as far. If Steph wants to pull from 30+ feet, go right ahead. He might hit that shot between 35-40%, but if it is only worth two points, I will take my chances with allowing it. Oscar's point about defenses not extending far enough is somewhat ironic. Players in the 60s were not a threat to shoot from that deep because it was only worth 2.
That is true. Closer is definitely not better. An open rhythm 3 for a great shooter is every bit as good as a dunk. Heavily contested shots near the rim are bad shots for most players.
Oscar look even stupider tonight than he did on Thursday after that performance. Those guys from the 60's could not have defended Curry better than OKC most of the night. Several times Curry just drilled 3's with a hand right in his grill
I'm sure Oscar doesn't use the internet, but if he did, I'd send him a 1000 gifs of 7 ft Steven Adams all up in Steph's grill, like 6 inches away, and Curry still shoots over him from 30 feet and the shot doesn't even grace the rim its so smooth

Yeah, it kinda destroys the argument that if you get up on Curry, you'll stop him.
@Oscar still having your panties in a twist. You're gonna need a crow bar to get them out of your vagina.
LOL I'm not the only one. Van Gundy and Jackson was all over him.
The world is just waiting for his apology
Nah, pretty much, it's just you waiting for his apology. Most of the rest of the world has moved on.
Of course they were commenting on it last night, they were doing a GSW game. Everyone else has moved on...except you.
You're clearly not on twitter. Big O was getting hammered last night all across the world.
I don't do that twitter crap. Never will. I have no interest in people who think the rest of the world gives a shit about whatever stupid thing they are doing or thinking.
