We know the obvious similarities between Steph Curry and Larry Bird: They shoot threes real good, they’re white, and they’re fragile.
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Will Curry (~670 as of mid-February 2019) pass Bird (897) in total NBA games played?
I know, I know… Bird was anything but fragile. And Curry’s injuries are largely thought of as “freaky”, not a result of weakness or anything… *ahem*.
Just punching buttons randomly tonight. I know probably I just hit one of yours.
“Curry is light-skin my guy,” one NBA fan told me when I claimed Curry is as white as Bird.
As white as Larry Bird: Whatever THAT means, right? 😂 We could go a lot of directions with that one.
But my main question is, Do you think Steph gets heated when people say he’s not black? Not talking about his media-tempered reaction. His genuine one.
[I promise, this is not a Kevin Durant burner blog.]
“Curry isn’t white,” I’ve heard, along with “Curry is biracial.”
Then there are those who point out, “Curry being ‘biracial’ would require the parents to be different races. He’s black. You could say mixed, but nonetheless black.”
Wait, ain’t his mama white? “No, she’s mixed or light skin.” What does that really mean? What are you people?! That chick is confusing me…
Well, which is it, folks? Black, biracial, white?
All of your programmed terms are confusing and somewhat irritating. Probably, that’s the point. No one is sure of the definition of anything, and yet people still run around emotional over the fact that others think differently.
Right now someone is throwing up her hands and crying that we shouldn’t even care about this stuff. “so stupid that COLOR is even mentioned!” Yeah, yeah.
Maybe that higher-path stuff is true, but we still do care. We talk about it, which means it matters on some level. Even jokers like me find it interesting enough to poke a stick at.
Serious question in my mind, though…
I can see Curry fading really quickly, in the next three to five years, because of various injuries.
You might disagree with that last line. You might answer that Steph Curry’s game relies heavily on skill. That you can see him not being able to get the same shots off the dribble, but the shooting and the passing should decline far slower.
You could continue be saying, most of the injuries he’s had in the past few years are fatigue (i.e. “freak”) injuries. You could point out he has never had a body breaking down kind of injury, where he just gets hurt seriously, playing normally. He’s either landing on someone’s foot, or slipping on a wet spot.
Good points, but freak injuries are still injuries. And they’ll still accumulate onto your bottom line. The athlete’s physicality will be affected long-term by all of it.
Someone right now is thinking: Tf is this post? 😂
All I’m saying is, Curry is good pretty much no matter what at this point. Even if he’s in a wheelchair by age thirty-six, he might turn out to be the deadliest off-the-bench threat in league history.
I’m also saying: Yeah, Curry is china-white. Gotcha
‘If Steph Curry is “white”… Nah, I can’t go on. Hold that L, cuh,’ one fan said when I brought all of this up in conversation.
>>Curry needs three or four seasons to limp past Bird.
STEPH CURRY’S INFLUENCE A GOOD THING?
IS THE THREE-POINTER OUTDATED?
