Don't get me wrong I think Curry is a great player, maybe the best shooter of all time but people bash the likes of Harden for his mediocre defense, why does Curry get a free pass?
Curry never needs to guard the other teams' best player. It's always Klay, Green, Iggy, Barnes etc
Closest comparison is probably Steve Nash

Why does Curry get a free pass when he only needs to play on 1 end?

congrats he got a rebound against a taller player, bet that's never happened before. Did you know Nate Robinson blocked a 7 footer? Originally Posted by warriorfan

Because he's dominant offensively. Magic wasn't a lock down defender as well and is the better point guard ever.

Meh, why would I bother, it's not like it's that impressive. Just a rebound Originally Posted by warriorfan

Curry is a great team defender, NBA isn't a playground pickup game, son. Originally Posted by shootingcomets

He got a surprising amount of all nba defense votes. Think even a first place vote (which is laughable).

So basically you are saying in Nash's 17 year career he never snuck in and got 1 rebound from a 7 footer? Originally Posted by warriorfan
