That's because there aren't any. Just so we all remember, the dude has 400+ threes....no one else has even done 300

.....and his teammate is less than 2 dozen away from 300.

This Team is scary.

We are watching greatness right now, in real time. People need to realize this is pretty much like watching the 1990s Bulls.

Klay is the greatest human 3-point shooter because Curry is obviously not human.

Kobe going for 50 shots haha

 

[Black Adam]

sorry about the double post, but 45...and counting...

 

[Black Adam]

Kobe going for 50 shots haha

lol yeah, he's already shot it over 40 times...

 

[CodeBreaker]

Curry should have broken Kobe's 3pt record on the same night Kobe retires xD

That super quick release and ball handling allows him to put up so many shots. I don't know if any of the other great 3-point shooters had that. And obviously, Curry's pretty accurate, too. It's to the point that defenses can really do much except hope that he misses or overplay the 3-point shot so much that they leave themselves very vulnerable to drives, pull-ups, and dishes inside.

The fact that Curry is so fricking likeable makes what he's doing all the more satisfying.

Kobe's last game >>> MJ's last game. FCKING 51 pts!

 

[CodeBreaker]

Going for 60???!!!

That's true....MJ and Kobe were hard to really like/love to watch, even as you knew how awesome they were.

 

[CodeBreaker]

Kobe fucking clutch!!!!

 

[Robotech]

Maybe Kobe shouldn't retire.

LeBron also had similar unlikeability.

LeBron also had similar unlikeability.

Not to me, he plays with more joy, and he's not as driven and as much of a jerk to other people. He will probably end up with fewer rings because of that.

Disagree

Amongst the general public, Lebron's likeability goes up and down all the time.
But, Lebron is beloved by his fellow players and peers.

Kobe never really had any friends during the peak competitive years.
Shaq was the life of the party hanging out with the team. Kobe would go home by himself and shoot baskets.

Yes, Kobe softened in his later years...and a lot of players praised him last night.
But, no player wanted to play with him. He was something of a hyper focused ass.
Jordan was similar as well. Both guys had standards that made it uncomfortable for other players.

Meanwhile, every player loves Lebron.
Guys want to be in the Lebron circle. Players will conspire to join up with him on teams.
