Intramural flag football at my school did a thing where for extra points you could go for 1, 2, or 3 points depending on how far from the goal you started :getin:

Paul Pierce seems difficult to hate with any enduring passion unless you are a Lakers fan and he prevented your team from one of the ~ 5-20 titles they've competed for in your lifetime. Or you hate him vicariously through Kevin Garnett, which is reasonable.

Steph Curry is the best shooter I think I have ever seen.

I'm gonna have to go back and watch some Reggie Miller clips but I think Steph is the going to go down as the best shooter ever.

I think Curry's the best shooter just because he can also create a whole team's offense. Basically a far more explosive prime Nash.

The Bulls excel at losing games by double digits even when holding the other team's HOFer to zero FGM.

I am very comfortable calling Curry a better shooter than either Bird or Allen. For their time, both were incredible but neither were able to do what Curry can do.

I don't disagree that he has HoF potential, but I think he has some work to do still.

Or maybe this is a clever Derrick Rose troll?
