2024 NBA Season

[dwyane36]

There's no surprise with Curry since he is the best 3 point shooter in the NBA now, but that 10 3s in a game, it seems like everything is so easy for him now and he has really improve with his shooting. I think he will easily win the 3 point shooting contest if there's an all star this month.

Yeah, Curry has a great performance this season, and I guess that sometimes he is playing even better than he played before the injury.
Have they already announced the list of participants for the upcoming three-point contest?

[rig4hodlers]

I just hope Klay could play again with Steph. He's been present at some of the team's games but he can't get on the court because he's still in his rehab. It is just sad to see him as a reporter and how he's been applauding his teammates in that seat. 

We all know Steph, he will keep on firing those threes until his brother comes back in the court with the team. I am also hyped when he comes back, that would be really amazing. GSW would start another rain of threes, they are even doing it without Klay, just imagine Klay being there with Steph.

Yeaaah man, that's what all the people are waiting for but we have to wait until next season. Klay Thompson suffered a torn right Achilles tendon during a workout, so he won’t be back at any point this season, but there’s hope he will be back when the Warriors start their next regular season 2021-2022. We miss him so much ...

Alex Caruso is back in the top 10 again in all star voting! Get your votes in for him! I would absolutely love to see this guy make the all star game. He deserves to be known nationally and most casual fans have no idea who he is.

[boltz]

Alex Caruso deserves the all star voting and NBA fans should admit that this guy is the engine behind the Lakers team. This guy enters and delivers all the time in both defense and offense with making important plays and when the team needs him most , he makes 3 points clutch shots that most of the players cannot do. Look at PG per example , can he deliver a clutch 3 point ? I doubt it.

So yea, Caruso will have my vote this year.

[barbara44]

^I don't know man, I mean I like that fans do favorite certain players even if they are not superstars on the court, but seriously? Alex Caruso? Dude is averaging 5.5 points 2.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1 steal per game. Sure he has a high motor and he works very hard and you can see that he gives 100% every time he is on the court but that is even sadder, dude gives 100% every time he is on the floor and these are the stats he gets.

I am not saying stats are the only thing we should check during voting, that is absurd, of course not, look at Westbrook, dude is 20 points per game but I wouldn't dream about giving him a vote, but when we are not looking at stats mainly, we should at least consider it just a slight bit and not make a 5.5 ppg guy an allstar. He is just not in my list, I will probably not want to see him but someone who is more of a star to play in the game.

I did not vote for him but I'm surprise that he is already in the top 10 according to @OgNasty.

This guy just came out of nowhere from a regular player into an all star, I like his contribution with the Lakers and I like how LBJ trusted him during clutch times. I'm excited to see what he can give during the all star game, keep voting, mine, I'm done and I regret I did not put him in my list, just for a change though. 

[blockman]

I'm in guys, I have already voted for Alex Caruso. I agree with all the good words that you've said about him. He should be included in the upcoming all-star game.
He's underrated but his contribution even on the last season made the Lakers become the champ is noticeable.

He is not a type of player that can score big time in a game, his contribution is more on "when the team needs to some offense and defense"

If you look at this stats this season and even in the past, his PPG is not that impressive.

Yep, its not impressive but true basketball fans wont really be looking on that one but instead of the contribution and effectiveness of said role that he do plays
when he's in the court.I do really agree that this guy is underrated.When he tend to step to the court then you would really able to notice it out on how
he do make out those crucial clutch shots and majority of people do really just ignore that kind of contribution, they do just focus out more
on common all star player but its not bad on looking to  those whose underrated.

With the limited minutes he played in the court, it's just normal to have that average this season, what matters is the impact of his contribution to the team, he step up whenever necessary and that's how people respected him for that, he would not be in the top 10 if he is not valuable, all star are usually for valuable players in a team.

Hey guys, did you see the last game between Golden State Warriors and Oorlando Magic? what the hell.... Stephen curry got x10 3 point basket lol
Steph deserves to win MVP this year despite his team’s seeding, what a wonderful player! Nice to see he is on fire, lovely game!

That's normal for him. He's been known to be a good shooter. That's why GSW became popular and strong a few years ago, it's because of his shooting skills together with Klay Thompson.

They're becoming better this season.

I think what's not normal though is that he started to fire 3's the first moment he touches the ball in the first quarter. It seems that he has a mission to win this game very badly for his team, or he wants to hit as many 3's as he can because he wants to get closer to that Ray Allen record. They are in a 2 game winning streak, number 8 in the Western Conference, very tight spot. So he really need to wax hot to bring and have at least a breathing room for the last spot.

Frank Vogel: Alex Caruso has become ‘one of our best players’

As per mentioned;
The Lakers once viewed Caruso as their secret weapon. Now, there’s no hiding how valuable he’s been to the team

His two year contract will expire.Is there any chance for some raise?

Agree, he's not a superstar caliber player, but a very good addition to a team. His presence on the floor makes his teammates boost their confidence, because the fans have made enough hype for him.
He might not be a type of player who fills that stat sheet, but sure his defensive effort and hustle is incredible that could actually win games.

[akirasendo17]

I think Caruso improve and get better since James came to the lakers, James respects Caruso skills trusting him on the floor, that's boost more confidence in a person being recognized by the best player in the world, I think you have notified to that everywhere James go, some player who plays with him gets better I don't know if you have noticed that, but seen it over the years,

[Reid]

GSW punished the Magic for not having a point guard.
Wiggins, Oubre Jr, and JTA.
These 3 guys were pests upon inbound of the ball. Full court press on the whole 4th quarter.
A good defense will give you a better offense. They proved that today.  
40 points for Steph again with 4 steals. Draymond with 2 blocks and 3 for Wiggins. Cool.  

Curry has gone crazy in this game, his shot attempts are almost 3 points shots.  He has 19 attempts in 3 points of the total 26 attempts, what a game by him, another success for him and surely his stats going to the all time 3 point shots made will continue to climb.

He gets better and better as he grows older in his shooting skills.
Just watching him running without the ball and making screens all over the floor makes me dizzy already. I can't keep up.  
What more when you are the one defending him?
Steve Kerr really did something amazing in this GSW team that is focused offensively for that dude.
I think that is also why you will never get bored watching the dubs play.

Curry needs to proved to Ray Allen that he was wrong.

I don't think he needs to prove that with just one guy.
Even Reggie is amazed at how Curry performs when he is the commentator for the GSW.

“Stephen Curry is not the greatest shooter ever”: Ray Allen snubs Warriors star as ‘GOAT’ 3 point shooter, reveals his controversial pick

I don't see this as a big deal for Curry. Reading the article, Ray Allen does have its own criteria why he chose Reggie Miller and it's actually make sense so we just have to leave it that way. His explanation is well-enough.

On the other hand, Curry don't need to proved anything to anyone. He will create his own legacy and up to the people on how they will looked at it. No difference on the GOAT conversation between MJ, Kobe and LBJ.

And not only on Allen but for everyone who still have doubts as he will surely get into the number 1.

To be honest, Curry doesn't have to prove squat to Ray Allen or anyone else for that matter, his numbers speak for themselves. Reggie Miller is one of the greatest shooters of all time, no questions about that, but Steph is on a different level, based on any metric available. Just the fact that it took him half the games Reggie needed to catch him on all time list while having higher percentage ( 4% higher) is enough to end that conversation.

Allen doesn't like the fact that he will be overpassed as the leader on the list of 3 points made very soon, most likely the next season if Steph remains healthy so now he is just talking bs.

Agree with you, Allen needs to stop talking because Curry is on a different level than him.

Curry invented the 3 point shooting as a weapon to beat a team, and even now we are seeing most of the teams are focusing on the 3 point shooting, even the big man, because it's a proven strategy and that's the recipe for the success of the GSW.

This is so close man, Curry could end up in the number 1 spot by next season if he will fall short this season.
