New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

[Steve williams]

here's an interesting morning fact...the Rockets are on a 6 game win streak which currently is the longest in the NBA....still in the near bottom of the standings

Records are made to be broken , so is there any doubt that Steph is the greatest 3 point shooter of all time and he will break the record in the near future

Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry is on pace to pass Hall of Famer Ray Allen as the NBA’s all-time leader in 3-pointers made.

Curry hit five 3-pointers against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday to increase his all-time total to 2,951 3-pointers, which brings him 23 3-pointers away from passing Allen for the top spot. The Warriors’ next game is Monday against the Magic (10 ET, NBA League Pass).

All-Time Leaderboard: 3-Pointers Made
• Tracker: Curry needs 23 more 3-pointers to pass Ray Allen.

My guess is he will surpass Ray Allen in between 4 and 7 games

The way Steph can shoot it could come even sooner but it will happen

Steph will go down as the greatest shooter of all time. I'm hoping Klay will make a big improvement to the team when he returns.My only concern is he hasn't played a game in. over 2 years and might find it difficult getting back into the lineup before he irons out the deficiencies

 

[christoph]

The way Steph can shoot it could come even sooner but it will happen

I would say realistically 5 games and 7 games tops

 

[Steve williams]

Interesting that Steph has scored just over 19000 total points as a player which doesn’t even put him close to being in the top 25 of all time scorers

 

[JackD201]

What does he rank among point guards?

We called your Bulls Bob!

Higher than what I would have guessed.

To me it shows that the 'sky hook' is better than the 3 ball.

 

[Steve williams]

The sky hook was something that only Kareem could do Justice to. It was copied by many but equaled by none

i was at many games watching Kareem make that shot.

I was a teen starting to play the game when the Sky hook of then Lew Alcindor really got me in total awe. And mostly I saw 'swish' through the net, that's how accurate and deadly that shot was. Magic finally got on baby sky hook to count when it matter in a Finals against the Celtics. That was a dagger shot over McHale.

 

[Steve williams]

If I were going to make a guess, I would say that even though it was copied but never equaled, the closest to do such however was none other than Magic Johnson. I will never forget an OT win Magic made. The tickets were 3 rows behind the Lakers bench and when Magic made that sky hook to win the game.....well the rest is history

 

[Steve williams]

so Phil, game 2 between Celts and Lakers is tomorrow at Staples. The last game was utter dominance by the Celtics who totally humiliated the Lakers

LeBron is back so that should make some difference but when watching the Lakers it s the 3rd period collapse where age catches up and affects their play in an adverse way
No team fears this Lakers team regardless of its "who's who". They just don't play defense hoping they will outscore their opponents

Despite the smiling look of Magic, he looked menacing later with his trimmed beard.

 

[Steve williams]

Kareem IMO was not only a great player , he was a scholar and an advocate.He was a true Laker

I loved that he called out LeBron on his ball holding danceAnd that's from one hall of fame Lakers to a future Hall of Fame (but hopefully will enter the HOF as a Cavalier. Hw won't win another ring as a Laker and also unlikely if he "takes his talents elsewhere"

 

[Steve williams]

Celts are 13-11 whereas Lakers are 12-12 so I'm still favoring the Celtics tomorrow Phil

I remember as a kid watching Bob Cousy play for the Celts

Imo, Westbrook is confused each game as to what his role will be. He doesn't have the blank check to shoot like he did in OKC or Washington. Lebron calls the plays and most often it's his play for his stat padding campaign. Westbrook is not a catch and shoot guy and needs to weave. I can see that he performs better when is is the real point guard.

I agree

In LeBron's absences Westbrook went from scowls to smiles so he likes to be in charge

BTW I think it is a good thing that he doesn't have a blank check because he misses a lot of shots that should normally be made

Clippers pulled ahead at the end to beat a Portland team that was without Lillard and CJ McCollum...continuing a streak of barely mediocre basketball for LAC.

Final score in Portland, LAC 102 Blazers 90

@christoph...the wait might be shorter than we predicted......

Curry drills 7 triples as Warriors cruise past Magic

Stephen Curry inches closer to Ray Allen, drilling 7 more 3s on his way to 31 points, and Andrew Wiggins hits a career-high 8 3s for 28 points in the rout.
