ESPN: Bobby Knight praises Stephen Curry

[makeitrain47]

I'm glad Steph made it, especially with my hometown Warriors. the NBA is starting to realize that skills, heart and feel for the game are more important than your vertical leap, how fast you can run from one end of the court to another and how much you can bench. Kevin Durant could only bench 185 lbs. twice! Now look at him.

[PlyrJM25]

This is from the man who coached Isaiah Thomas. For anyone who thought Knight was crazy, and are skeptics of Curry's ability at the point, than they don't know jack.

[makeitrain47]

if you read Steve Alford's autobiography of his Indiana days, Playing For Knight, you get a great idea of the basketball genius Bob Knight is. everyone who's been around Knight for a period of time or has done their research agrees he knows the game of basketball. sure, he's kind of a dick, but i think every genius has a touch of madness. =)

[fearnoone9]

say about bobby knight whatever you want, but that guy just knows basketball

[slipstream17]

@fearnoone9 seriously! people thought that Bobby Knight was either blind or crazy for saying that Curry was a great passer! The man knows basketball for sure!

[abprepboy33]

probably the highest basketball IQ coming into the league in over 5 years.

[jeanomics]

Wow Bob Knight really can break it down. Stephen has such good court vision!! And I would've never realized it without this.

[ucxsundae]

Damn, my boy Steph used to play qb and shit. This video made me feel a little bit better about us getting buttfucked in the draft lottery. At least we hit the jackpot in last year's draft. Who knows, maybe we'll get lucky and have a beast fall to us in this one too. The top 5 guys this year are the only ones I see with franchise player potential, and getting the 6th pick is just a fucking punch to the ballsack. It fuckin hurts like motherdicksack.

[goldenstateketchup]

Bobby "the telescope" Knight. Wow. He called it a year before, many people still called Curry a scorer and selfish. now look. he's being compared to Nash. And this man was right on it.

Don't forget the bowie-jordan thing

Bobby Knight: Get Jordan! He's the best player I've seen!

Gm:but we want a big man...

...

Someone needs to make a tribute to this man. What a monument to the game of basketball.

[grapplerke]

Curry is already showing that he's going to be a great PG, way better than Monta Ellis.

Tyreke Evans, Stephen Curry, James Harden and Brandon Jennings... What a monstrous draft! We'll have to see what Griffin will bring, but I think he will be an all-star as long as he doesn't get injured again.

The Knicks, Grizzlies, and Timberwolves screwed up badly.

[massacrene1]

for real. Thats whats so awesome about the NBA draft, you never know whose truly going to come out the winner despite all the "expert" opinions. Stephen Curry needs to take over that team and the warriors should trade monta ellis for a big with good offense and great defense. Monta Ellis reminds me of iverson. Hes just not a true PG.

[inclayman]

And DeJuan Blair, he its a monster

[lordjared]

YES THE GRIZ F'ED UP! Hasheem Thabeet...wtf? so lame. Mike Heisley and the griz management are quite stupid.

[richboievans385]

ellis isn't a point guard

[hornetwildcat630]

curry is good on both ends of the court

[maginick24]

@hornetwildcat630 horrible defense

[jeannecitta]

Did Bobby Knight ever say things like that about Chris Paul coming out of college? If not, that tells you where Stephen Curry is headed, ALL-STAR baby.

[78783]

His assist to turnover ratio could be an issue, probably why he will be a backup to start the season.

Luckily Randolph will have a breakout year and keep the pressure of Curry.

Excited to see how Curry does when surounded by talented shooters like Monta and Morrow. And big men with good hands like Biedrins.

[YVPrecise]

What about his assist/turnover ratio?

[abprepboy33]

assist to turnover ratio is a bit misleading, he didnt have a lot of good players on his team so they didnt make shots that good players would have made- thus giving him more assists

[chadmalik]

wow...as good a passer as has ever played college basketball?!?

man i hope the warriors can keep him AND get amare....then its ON!

[soadrocker856]

The chances of having both are slim to none.

[dogmonkeybottle]

warriors dont need amare they already have randolph

[abprepboy33]

yeah they had randolph last year and they won 29 games.... so i guess they don't need him, but if they want to improve- he might help

[dbwallace]

warriors!!!

do not trade curry!

[rileyrox101]

Thank Goodness he went to the Warriors, if they trade him, they are complete idiots.

[iversonodds]

what for amare they are a true team

curry is a rookie so could turn out like michael beasley who sucks or he could turn out to be like magic

[chamil1]

Beasely is good you idiot, Griffen and Curry though will both be better

[abprepboy33]

Im not sure curry makes them a significantly better team.... but I guess we'll see

[odubbs11skalla]

@rileyrox101 they needd to trade him now!

[CreamyBrown07]

meh, overhype

Those passes are nothing too fancy

Big whoopie, he knows how to use the bounce pass and finds people who cut.

Try looking at Rubio's highlights.

[Hatalles]

Passing is passing. It doesn't matter if it's flashy or not, just so long as the ball gets to where it needs to be.

[imfamousera]

true true true

[beyo2233]

i rather see him at the thunder with durant green and westbrook, or sacramento back court with Kmartin, or with the knicks, players get buried in Sota

[RBGdUP]

steph will put put on 20 or so pounds and become Mike Bibby 2.0

[iversonodds]

derreck rose man mike bibby is small and crappy

[cardo8605]

naw, bibby's just gettin old, check out his older highlights with the kings, same style of play as the Warriors. D. Rose is more of a slasher

[TKO2121]

Damn Curry at #6, please shape those wolves up real quick!

[StormChasr13]

Yeah I think Curry will go to the Wolves at 6. At least I hope so.

[ozan9067]

wizards

[y3kimik3y]

Knicks please. =]

[wetarded123321]

hes good but bobbys talkin him up a little too much he pooped his pants at the espys too..

[arguewitppl]

[PeaceLoveHappiness09]

Stephen is amazing!!
