Does that mean
that Curry is the co-ed, and Evans is the chair?

Tyreke Evans is the NBA's version of Jim Brown.

No mistakes in the tango, Donna. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
That's kinda creepy, Kobe.

i would much rather had tyreke
stephen is small and is a shooter with a great wing player in the back court. im tired of players that are skinny like martin. i want a player that can take some pounding by bigger player (which you cant really say that about tyreke since he is bigger than a lot of power forwards)
stephen seems like a player that will get injured, a lot like monta and kevin martin. that take the breath out of the team and is a wasted season when your best player is constantly injured. tyreke seems like a kobe type, a assasin. he wants to win more than anyone.
Tyreke — that’s a grown-ass man

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

I think Tyreke reminds him of...
a Colorado hotel worker.
The Sacramento Convergence concept offers Sacramento, the Central Valley, and the State a solution to feasibly construct a new multi-use Entertainment and Sports Complex.
I feel dumber for having read your post.
But, thanks for sharing.

Kobe must not have checked Tyreke’s ID. The kid is only 20!

Really!?!
I mean, I was around for the old rivalry and I hated me some Kobe, but the guy is too damn good to disrespect, IMO. I guess the way he gets hated on is a testament to how good he is. Laker fans will someday feel the same way about Tyreke!

I can't believe that Curry v. Evans is even a debate
Frankly, it pisses me off. It’s not even close. Curry is not half the all around player that Evans is. He’s a nice shooter that can’t guard anybody. And he’s not even his team’s best player.
Evans has superstar written all over him and already has an aura of “winner” that pervades him.
The only trophy that Curry is taking home is the one given at the All Star 3 Point Shooting contest.
Yeah I agree and disagree..
Most say that Evans and Curry is a debate due to the way that Curry could probably play with absolutely ANYONE and still produce. The fact that ‘Reke and Speed didn’t mesh a whole lot leading to the trade of Speed is probably why people (right now at least) think it’s hard for teammates to feed off of the energy and ball-domination that comes with Evans style of play. But I agree, that it’s pretty obvious who will win ROY. And in time, Evans will have everything Curry has, with the exception of 3-point shooting efficiency, and more.
There is a flaw in your argument named Monta Ellis
There are some guys smarter than me, some guys better looking, I take comfort in the fact that there is no guy that is both.
This is why the ROY is still being discussed:
And in time, Evans will have everything Curry has, with the exception of 3-point shooting efficiency, and more.
The ROY is being judged on current performance not projected future performance.
I would like to think that Tyreke has the ROY locked up and I would have thought his triple-double would have ended any further discussion. But there are those in the Curry camp who feel otherwise. Personally, I believe that Tyreke will win it, but I have to admit that Curry has come on strong in recent months.
To be the best, you have to do your best. Otherwise, you are only second-rate.
It's not close
Seriously. 20-5-5. Done deal.

As a GSW fan...
I don’t know whether to agree with what you’re saying or not.
but…Evans will never have everything Curry has and vice versa. The NBA pedigree, control of tempo, ability to stop on a dime, quick dribble, superior court vision, the cool instinct etc. are some things that Evans cannot develop. Nobody can. To say Evans will have everything Curry has is like saying Curry will definitely grow to 6-6 220 in a couple years and will become as good of a slasher and be able to draw fouls as well.
No.
You’re an ass, man.

And he’s a bad ass. He’s a record producer and he helped organize the Monterey International Pop Festival that took place in 1967. The Woodstock, if you will, of California. The coming out party for Jimi Hendrix, Joplin, and the Who and the legendary performance where Jimi Burned his guitar on stage in front of a bunch of stunned (and stonned) hippies.

Being a die hard Kings fan
I have to hate Kobe. But at the same time I have to respect him for the skill he has. His comment about Tyreke is on the money. Curry is a skinny little runt next to the beast Tyreke. Simple as that.
I guess Reke likes the ladies with the junk in the trunk
I've got gas - yea, i'm enviromentally friendly
yup
Tyreke can learn to shoot and dish better but Curry is probably as he’s going to be at the things he does. And, its unlikely he’ll add as much to his game as Tyreke will.

the best Curry can be is Steve Nash
I’d take that if I was a GS fan…the best Reke can be is 96% of Lebron…I’ll take that.

Minus a few more percentages.
Reke just doesn’t have freakish athleticism and high flying abilities of LeBron.
Steve Nash is a 2X MVP and a future Hall of Famer
While it’s early, I don’t see that in yourng Mr. Curry’s future. Yes, he can shoot….really, really well. But his court vision and handles are not within seveal area codes of Steve Nash.
have you seen him pass?
Curry has a lot of nice dimes and has really good court vision. I don’t know if he will be the next Nash and frankly, comparing him to Nash seems a bit unfair to Curry, but he is a good player.
agree with your analysis
He’s a nice player. Wouldn’t want him over Tyrke but would love to have him. Every team needs a guy who can stretch the defense and who really seems to understand the game well while possessing solid skills. I just don’t see him hitting Steve Nash superstar status.
Curry = Bibby
Maybe he’ll be a little better, and I’m sure given the early hype surrounding him, he’ll be able to make some All-Star games (which Bibby deserved, but never got, IMO).

Curry is a much better passer than Mike
although he has already picked up Mike’s defensive skills. Time will tell wether he ever gets as clutch as Bibby was.
When I said Nash could be his upside, I meant , he may be able to get to 20 and 10
There are some guys smarter than me, some guys better looking, I take comfort in the fact that there is no guy that is both.
You may be right
But remember, the young Bibster averaged over 8 dimes a game (and a 2.7/1 assist to turnover ratio) during his two full seasons in Vancouver. He was a pretty darn good passer when he was in a system that required him to initiate the offense.
SACTOWN ROYALTY - Try our thick creamy shakes!
True
Hard to tell how much effect the Kings system had on lowering his numbers and how much the GS system is inflating Curry’s
There are some guys smarter than me, some guys better looking, I take comfort in the fact that there is no guy that is both.
You may be right
But remember, Vancouver was padding their stats.
Canadians use metric
8 assistimeters = about 5 assists, right?
That could explain Steve Nash too.

Nash
sucked his first two seasons.
He had a skill set,
but his court vision and handles are not within seveal area codes of Steve Nash.
I believe Kobe was misquoted.
Kobe really meant, “…But Tyreke — that’s a grown ass, man.”
It's all about punctuation eh?
I think he actually said: ‘But Tyreke — that’s a grown, ass-man.’
Anyone else watch the series Chuck?
Everytime I see this Kobe quote, I punctuate it like this in my head. :-)
by nobodyinparticular on Mar 19, 2010 1:22 AM PDT up reply actions
haha nice.
Chuck is awesome.
Sometimes you just have to look yourself in the mirror and say....Tyreke Evans.
That just happened.
Kobe was misquoted! He said that Chapu is a grown ass man.
