By now you’ve surely heard the rumors. Golden State Warriors two-time MVP Stephen Curry is bad for basketball. Those ridiculous, 35-footers with a hand in his face? Bad shots. Encouraging bad behavior.
Never mind that he, you know . . . makes them. Which is kind of the point of shooting in the first spot. Never mind that he shoots a higher percentage from 25-29 feet than Russell Westbrook, James Harden, or LeBron James shoot from 10-14 feet.
Remember when Curry’s former coach, and human salt block Mark Jackson said that Curry has “hurt the game,” because kids want to imitate him?
