Devin Booker is who Steph Curry wish he could be

[Thegooch]

Is there anybody on BGOL that actually posts stats and metrics anymore? Does player comparisons? The Kobe and MJ stans turned this shit into a popularity contest.

Carrer PPG avg Booker 23@24 y/o/Steph/24.2/Kobe 25ppg

Career High Game Kobe 81/Booker 70/Curry 62

Finals MVP Kobe 2/Curry 0/ Booker 0

Reg Season MVP Curry 2 / Kobe 2/ Booker 0

Booker is heading into his prime with a higher scoring avg than Curry and Bryant. Booker is on pace to score more total points than Curry.. Currys lack of health and starting hus NBA career later than Kobe and Booker, I could see Booker eclipsing Curry on the all time scoring list.

Due to heath issues and lack of defense, Curry probably isnt playing until 40. If Booker stays healthy he has a chance to keep playing past 35 because of his size and PG skills. If Curry ever loses his shooting touch or gets even worse on defense you will have to sit him because he inst 6'8 like Camelo.

Rings are subjective to the teams you are on. Steph hasn't proved he could led a team to the playoffs without prime Klay Thompson. Booker beat the Lakers/LeBron with a 35 ylo Chris Paul and a bunch of player not close to their own primes.

Steph needs to prove he can win without Klay or a suoerteam. Booker is doing that at 24 y/o with no Klay Thompson. They held it down in the bubble last year and only added Paul to a young ass squad. If Paul was in his prime then the Sums might have a chance vs the Nets.

If the Nets stay healthy, I can see them losing to the Suns but I could see Booker getting a Finals MVP in a losing effort if he puts uo 40-45 ppg in a six game series. Kyrie and Harden aint guarding Booker. Booker id going to roast those two and make a name for himself. If dude goes for 70 pts in the finals, what yall gone say then.

PS. The Gooch doess not advocate light on light skin violence. The comparison made was not due to their light skinnedness only their scoring acumen. They are both scoring guard, Ive made this comparison because I feel they are two of the best shooters in the game besides Dame who I feel is more of s traditional PG forced to svore because his team aint never been shit on defense.

If Dame was a Piston he would have to rings by now.. Portland has always been 2ndplaceville.

All this light skin dark skin shit is ridiculous. Especially amongst black people. Naw here’s the thing we root against Lebrun because he’s dark skin but Jordan or Kobe neither of the two are light skin. Then it’s well their spouse are non black.

i said months ago dude was out of his mind trying to bring that bullshit twitter narative to BGOL about lightskin and darkskin. When black on black wasn't working out too well for him, he changed it to light v. dark. i'm surprised people still even interract with that psycho. Let him have his meltdown. Shit is funny because everyone is laughing at him and he thinks he's the one pulling the wool over our eyes. But remember this, when Lonzo Ball came to the league, and even before that, he was giving him the same amount of love he was giving to Lebron.
and yeah, this is a dumb ass thread.

I dont think you meant malicious intent. Just understand on a website like BGOL the preference is that we pit light skinnned athletes exclusively against darker players, not each other and celebrate that success to let WS know "we hate them niggas too".

This is a great thread, the light skin bias is on front Street for every one to see. Team Light Skin of BGOL is like white supremacy's Doja Cat.

I thought I was on ignore anyway? I pretty much changed the tone of the board. Every melenated Black man up here sees the lil game. Why you think its just you, a couple white boys, and TLS members liking posts? All the Black people up here looking at you dudes funny style.

 

[lazarus]

this was an idiotic thread. compare 3pt% between the two and quietly shut the fuck up

Weaponizing every light skin NBA player and creating a forced rivalry betwen Steph and LeBron is stupid.

No, lets not. Why are yall deflecting so hard from comparing these two? You never do this when we compare Steph to a melenated player? Just admit you guys see yourselves as white and dont relate to Black people.

I wanted to witness your meltdown. It's epic. Keep hiding your tears behind those laughing emojis. We all know you're hurting in inside.

Look at the anger from Team Light Skin. Now that we comparing 2 guards in the Western Conference they mad and deflecting. All my bitches that swear they ignore me poppin up.

The lightskin replies are telling. Some of these "men" have a crush on Steph. These responsea are almost female like.

Im just not a big fan of Steph and feel the Warriors are Klays team. Klay wore his body out carrying the team guarding the other teams best back court player while Steph diddled with himself and played hopscotch with the worse player on offense in the corner People had the nerve to call Steph a PG when he was never the primary ball handler nor guarded the point of the defense.

Klay has Reggie Miller type shooting ability and you would NEVER see Reggie chasing the other teams best scorer all day. Harden and Kyrie aint guarding anyones number one option. Bradley Beal never has to guard the point because of Wall/Westbrook.

Steph hasn't shown the ability to excell without anyone else but Klay. Explain. which other 20ppg + scoring guard gonna give up touches, guard the other teams best guy, carry the team when Steph is hurt or cold and sacrifice his body so Steph can get all the glory.

Steph is lucky Klay comes from a basketball family and dont play for money. Anyone else would have said fuck that dude and siad my team and my bag. Props to Klay for sacrificing his body but I can't say I would have done the same.

When Klay comes back. Steph bitch ass is gomma have to play some PG defense. Klay is going to need time to get back to form. Hes not guarding the best player on offense freash off of injury. You can't hide Klay and Steph on defense.

One of the two is going to have to be traded or Steph is coming off the bench. The Durant cheat code is on the Nets and the Warriors are going nowhere fast. If Steph plays until 40, it aimt gonna look good.

Exactly. That shit is toxic as fuck. I don't trust nobody saying they black but encourage segregation among blacks due to the shades of their skin. Bogus as fuck.

Forgot all about that shit. He loved him some Lonzo.....

He's trolling. A pathetic attempt. He comes on BGOL with that anti-lightskin shit and segregating blacks my shades of color.....but if you see his posts from that cac ran Panthers message board he was humble as fuck and on his best behavior......

 

[Thegooch]

Moist boi gang sticking up for Steph with no facts or stats tho. If Devin wins a title or two, can we bumo this thread with no malace ?

Are we really gonna debate shit like Booker ending up higher on the all tume scoring list? Steph can't stay healthy and Booker is avg 1pt less than Steph for his career. Imagine the numbers Booker is going to put up when he has years he outs up 25 shots a game vs a modern NBA defense. I could see Booker having a 35ppg season with violume shooting like Steph.

Lol dumbass got his burner in over drive co-signing his bullshit!

Only on bgol!

Im a fan of Lavar Balls black empowerment
Imma stick the facts. Lonzo is turning into a player and will have a couple of all star appearances. LaMelo is looking like a perennial All Star. Happy for the Ball family and I would take them both over the Curry brother who are one dimensional shooters.

Find me when Curry can make the playoffs without Klay. Ironically, Booker is probably the only other guard that can make Steph look good. But the reality of the situation is that the Warriors have the highest payroll in the league and two untradable contracts in Andrew Wiggins and Draymond Green.

Klay is due 120M over the next three seasons coming back from injury. Stephs contract is up after next year and nobody is going to pay the highest payroll in the league to not make the playoffs or lose in the first round.

Steph may not even be a Warrior after next year. I bet those words scrunch up some dirty panties but the reality is that it may not be economically viable to heep Klay, Steph, and Dray on the same team. They were lucky Steoh/Klay were underpaid due to growing up rich the first time around.

Now that they are getting mkt value, there is no more being the underpaid hero. Steph has to prove his worth once Klay comes back..

Whats interesting is, if Kevin Durant wins the chip with Kyrie, Team Light Skin on BGOL is gonna use KD to diss LeBron, even though ever since KD left Golden State, Steph hasnt sniffed a playoff and IMO it makes him look bad if KD can easily duplicate the success he had with him with Kyrie while he sitting at home at the playoffs. Team Light Skin dont care though, they hate LeBron more than they like any of these players today.

You make some interesting observations about Klay. I never looked it at that way, but makes a lot of sense. I'm from Charlotte, Steph's hometown, so I always laugh at his stans on BGOL that act like they were saying his name 10 years ago on this message board when I was. People hopped on his wagon simply because he was a light skin star they could cheer for against LeBron when Bean the Swirler retired.

 

[KingTaharqa]

Anybody that ever pit lesser light skin players against LeBron is promoting a Light Skin vs. Dark Skin division, there are plenty of threads I can bump. Now that Team Light Skin is on front street they are uncomfortable. Guys, you're not gonna be able to promote white supremacy and hide behind sports anymore, those days are over bruh. Covid killed that. If you cooning as a fan or promoting white supremacy its gonna get acknowledged. PERIOD.

 

[geechiedan]

one got 3 championship rings, a unanimous MVP and almost singlehandedly revolutionized how the game is played in the last 10 years.... and the other has 70 points in a losing effort in a game where his team was down by 20 and never lead at any point...just sayin...

0 without Klay or Durant. Lets see dude run and win with another squad like Lebron/Durant/Lenarrd. Hell Kyrie and Harden willl be making and finals appearance's with different teams. Some of these guys are doing it in both conferences., while I cant see many situation were Steph wins a title post 35 like LeBron.

Steph might flame out like Wizard Jordan. I dont see a place for him k in the league onve hus shooting is normal. He doesn't even lead the league in 3pt % and the rest of the league has caught on to smalll ball and 3 pt spamming.

Its not ike the Warriors didn't have shooters.. Draymond is the main reason for defenses sagging on Steph, not Andrew Wiggins and the other scapegoats.. it probably makes sense for the Warriors to build around Wiggins and Klay going forward.

If the Warriors I would trade stuff while he has a year on a contract and value as a score. As soon as he seen for the one dimensional player he is he's going to get the Carmelo treatment as a hot shooter off the bench.

Nobody can be a one-dimensional player in today's NBA. Once the NBA allowed the three-point shot to be a uncontested shoot it basically invalidated Steph's most valuable skill.


Now hes 2 years removed from the playoffs and the finals with no clear path back in sight. IT'S GOING TO BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THIS PLAYS OUT BECAUSE PLAYERS SUCH AS MVP type players like Dwight Howard BEN WALLACE CARMELO ANTHONY AND ALLEN IVERSON all feel off quickly when the team was no longer built around their weaknesses.

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

Steph needs to prove he can win without Klay or a suoerteam. .

And this is why your entire post is full of complete shit and why any Steph conversation is stupid


Klay Thompson wasn't the 2nd best player or 3rd best during that 1st ring
Go look it up
You didn't even know who Klay was until the 73 win season.

The ring wasn't the 1st time Steph led a team to the playoffs.

He led the warriors to the playoffs years before that when Jarrett Jack and David Lee were his 2nd and 3rd best players


You all started watching him when he became MVP


Stop talking about Steph

Thanks

How long does Steph get to live off what he did 6-7 years ago? Keep in mind yall judge LeBron off every playoff series he plays in, and its year 18. But Steph can go back 5 Finals ago and say "hey I was the best player back then!" Then why didnt he win Finals MVP? Why didnt he lead them back in 17 instead of deferring to KD? KD walked away with 2 Finals MVPs, Steph got nothing out of the deal. Steph cant lead a team to the playoffs, we just watched that dude 2 years in a row. Team Light Skin needs to find a new hero, 2015 was a long time ago homie. Book is a good candidate. He's a very good player, yes he's cool with LeBron which I know yall dont like, but dude is a beast. Teams fear him more than Steph no doubt.
