back on topic - Curry is amazing. MVP!
I wouldn't be surprised if he and Lonzo are "rooming" together on the road.

Won't be long before we see Kyle and Lonzo hanging out with this "guy"...
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.

Apparently, there's nothing written in the Lakers hyena rube fanbook for this occasion.
I'm sure they're huddling in PMs right now like teenage girls trying to figure out how to claim Kuzma/Ball's overt femininity is actually super duper alpha or something.

Lonzo flips his hands around and stands just like a fag. It's pretty obvious.
PLUS THIS:
Lonzo's GF is obviously just a front. They went way overboard with that setup.
and......speaking of butterface...
He'll be coming out soon.
The garish green color must offend his sensibilities.

Only Anger General could take a topic about Curry's shooting and move it to detailed discussions about unrelated players' sexual preferences, fashion, and girlfriends.

Re: Is Curry Having the Best Shooting Season Ever?
This thread was much better than I expected when I read the title. Good work gentlemen!
Edit: And the OP is bang on with Curry. I think the expression he used in another thread was "floor warper" and it's exactly right. Having to guard a guy as slippery as he is from 32 feet out all the way to the hoop completely changes the complexity of trying to guard everyone else on the floor when he's playing.

Lonzo Ball is just as good, just in a different way.
LMBAO for thinking basketball is only about shooting.
Steph is like the queen bee at the local sorority, who is so out of your league looks-wise that you don't even attempt to flirt with her, but just stalk her on her walks back to the sorority until she figures it out and threatens to report you to the police and you respond by calling her stuck-up.
His biggest problem (shooting form) can be corrected with practice, work ethic, and repetition. Just like the fat chick with the great personality and cute face, but she needs to get he fat ass in the gym. Then she can have her ‘80s coming-of-age makeover moment (and of course when she takes off her glasses she’ll be instantly hotter).

Indeed, we are limited to some extent by our genetics.
I don't know what Lonzo's true upper limit is with respect to shooting, in the context of his natural abilities.

Maybe this is a better analogy... with that form... it's like he continues to eat a box of doughnuts every morning before working out at the gym later in the day.
Sure. There can be progress... but he's still curtailing just how much.

I was in the mindset of "it's going in...wtf do you want...leave me alone?" back then when people tried to change my shot.
But who knows...I might have been even better if I did the work to have a classic and more technically correct form.

Re: Is Curry Having the Best Shooting Season Ever?
It's weird. Two of the better shooters I play with today, shoot knuckle balls. In fact, I tease them when they actually miss a shot because normally it has too much back spin. I don't even know how that's possible to shoot from three without any spin. Are you not flipping your wrist at all?Bush4Ever35 wrote:I never had spin on my shot when I played.

I may or may not have had to overcome a pesky left thumb that led to side spin at times...
Not entirely sure how to shoot without any spin though.

The main issues are not flicking your wrist and keeping your guide hand on the ball for too long.Kingcarl24 wrote:

Re: Is Curry Having the Best Shooting Season Ever?
But even a two handed chest pass should have back spin. I can understand no spin if you're near the hoop and it's a floater or a push shot but to shoot from distance, it needs back spin.Bush4Ever35 wrote:The main issues are not flicking your wrist and keeping your guide hand on the ball for too long.Kingcarl24 wrote:
