No and No
mark west was 1 of the best shot blockers in the nba that yr..has inkosi ever had to go up against 1 of the best shot blockers
Mark West was a bum. All the Suns did was outscore teams and play no defense. Chambers, SOFT. Miller, SOFT, Barkley on defense, SOFT, Dumas, SOFT. Great offensive team, shitty defensive. He had 2 CACs guarding him the whole series, Ainge & Thunder Dan.
He didn't come close to averaging 40+ against the Knicks in the previous series and shot a low percentage in most of the games. Why? Because a black person guarded him and they actually played defense.
Ok the Stephen Curry dick riding has officially jumped the shark.
Media turning this kat into Superman now...He's the greatest shooter, but not in the top 5 of greatest pure scorers:
1) MJ
2) Kobe
3) Wilt
4) Bernard King
5) Melo
In no particular order...
well he would have to be in an insane rythm,
the opposing defense would have to be somewhat lacklustre,
his teammates would have to be feeding him the ball relentlessly,
he would have to be on a defensive assignment where he had to exert no effort,
he would have to play imo the full 48 minutes(and likely at least 1 overtime)
probably have to get a minimum of 20 free throws
among other things
I dont see it happening to be honest
Word is Steph can kick a 75 yd FG, run a 3.9 40, bench press 750 lbs, surf a 150 foot wave, eat 200 hot wings in 3 minutes, run a 26 mile marathon while eating a cheese steak in 32 minutes, rebuild a cars transmission with no tools, hit a 3 pointer, a layup, a dunk AND a free throw on only one shot attempt, tie his shoe laces with his teeth, go all day only blinking one eye... Kid is fucking amazing!!!
I'm not sure he could finish the hot wings in 3 minutes, that's a stretch.
Funny that people (on and offline) are starting to talk about how the media is hyping Stef up too much but...
What about Linsanity? The whole world was riding that dudes nuts and he didn't do 1/10 of what Stef has done.
