    Stephen Curry --- Impressive

    This guy can do it all. Has 59 made 3-pointers in 13 post season games. Reggie Miller is now #2 with 58 3-pointers in 22 games. I just like the effort he seems to give.

    The kid is amazing... Assuming they make the finals, that number might be pushing 80.
    Reggie was one of the best shooters I watched growing up, but Curry is on another level right now.

    He has the quickest release of the ball than anyone I ever seen, almost like he just throws it. UNREAL GOOD

    I was watching a Golden State game the other day and was amazed at how quickly he gets his shot off!! Curry does not need much room to get a clear look at the basket.

    i must have missed where the OP compared a 6 foot something guard to a 7 foot center. The game has changed tremendously since the Philly Warrior days. Maybe you should compare Wilt to another big man from those days. Maybe the guy in green with all the rings.

    Yep Wilt got the press, but Russell got the rings.

    The era of dominant big men that lived in the post was many moons ago. Shaq was the last one I remember offhand.

    Different game than even when Shaq was in his prime. Refs call offensive fouls now.

    while we all know the game has "changed" still an outstanding player in his time, kinda like comparing Babe Ruth to todays players, I think what is most impressive is how he conducts himself on and off the court,

    I remember when he came out of Davidson Collage as a rookie with Golden State all the sports writers said he would never make it in the NBA, much too small. Well I guess he has proved all of them wrong. He has amazing skill staying away from all the big men and making incredible shots from all over the court.

    If he played at a bigger school their would have been fewer doubts, a lot of it was because he played for Davidson

    His old man could fill it up too. The kid can flat shoot.

    Did you see the way he blocked out Dwight Howard down low? This kid can do it all. More importantly, he conducts himself like a professional off the court. That seems to be the hard part for a lot of them.

    Impressive talent YES indeed. But keep in mind the game is different today than in the 80's and 90's. Back then play was much more physical, teams would have fought hard through pics and screens, he would not get as many open looks, not to mention how physical they would be with him just bring the ball up the floor.

    Remember the Pistons guards of the 80's and what a beating they took, even Jordan got banged up by opponents. The Pacers/Knicks rivalry or shall I say Fued. I'm just not sure he could do what he's doing today if the game was officiated the way is used to be.

    Today the game is geared towards the team with the ball, and the defensive team have to play soft, I see the NFL going the same direction though too.

    Saw a piece on him the other day. Said at the end of every practice, he shoots 100 3 pointers. That day he hit 94 of 100.
