I'd be pretty embarrassed if I was a GSW fan chanting MVP at Curry in the 4th. Not only did he brick everything, but if he had just held onto the ball to the very end and bricked the buzzer beater it would've went to overtime. Instead he passed it to the wrong team and allowed Jokic to show him how to shoot a proper buzzer beater.
You can tell from Thompson's body language that he was preparing for it to go in. He had no reaction at all. Just kept walking through the shot and off the court with no emotion whatsoever.At the post game presser Thompson was asked what was going through his head when Yoke was squaring up to shoot as time was expiring and his response was "No way.". I don't know if he watches Yoke play, he should have been saying to himself "Uh oh". Unless it's a one armed heave from his own side of the court I'd never feel confident that Yoke is gonna miss a shot, even with a defender on his face. Like shit, against the Lakes in the playoffs last year he hit three nothing-but-the-bottom-of-the-net bombs with defenders up in his face time pressured shots.
Edit: it's unheard of I think on the true modern game, Wilt has done it, though I'd assume overwhelmingly camped under the net dunks against hapless opponents. But yeah, in today's game 39 of 44 is excellent from the charity stripe, and just absurd from the field. You know next game he's gonna miss two in a row and some commentator is gonna say he's washed and the other team has figured him out.
Even with Corey getting a 5th ring he’ll never surpass LeGoat.
Steph wasn't even the best player on his team for most of those championships.
Sure. But he has to start getting out of the first round without Brunson.
You should say make the playoffs. Last year was a debacle. He'll be fine. He's already more successful than Jordan was lol
