Not sure if you guys are aware, the old guys were breaking more records last night. Steph went 8/8 beyond the arc vs the 76ers last night, setting a new personal record. I believe the last time Curry was perfect beyond the arc was back in April 2024 when he went 6/6 against the Lakers, which was also his previous record. LeBron also tied Jordan's record of most number of 30+ point games; they both have 562 games with 30+ points. One thing to note is that Jordan achieved that number playing 450 fewer games than LeBron.
Oh, btw, @Undisciplined, congrats on becoming a part owner of ~Stacker_Sports! Well deserved and looking forward to see both you and GR running things around here.
I had that game on last night and vaguely recall a reference to LeBron setting a record but I wasn’t really paying attention as I was transferring some files to a new laptop I recently purchased.
Pretty incredible.
Do you think we will ever see another shooter like Steph again?

To me, LeBron hitting that record actually shows how incredibly good Jordan is (not taking anything away from LeBron, he is still incredible). Jordan did it with 450 fewer games played. Assuming they play all 82 games, that's still almost 5 and a half seasons more that LeBron needed to tie Jordan's record. Also factoring in the ease of scoring and type of defense being played / allowed for the two different eras... Jordan was really one of a kind.
Do you think we will ever see another shooter like Steph again?
I won't say never, and with the way the young guys are growing up shooting 3's, I think it's more likely than not that we will have even more good shooters going forward. Also, the danger of Steph does not only lie in his shooting; he can drive, he can pass, he has a great handle, he can definitely shoot, and his off ball movement is insane! I would say Steph is more dangerous off ball than with the ball. So I think there definitely will be pure shooters that shoot as well or even better than Steph, but someone with a full package like Steph will probably not appear for quite some time.

I don't think we'll see another Steph, but more for the whole set of reasons you listed. I'd wager that we'll see as good of a pure shooter in the next generation of players.

What's going on with Jimmy Buckets?
reply
He wants out and he's going to make things unpleasant until he gets his way.

So you are saying there is a chance he is coming to the Raptors. Thank you for your honest, unbiased and completely rational perspective.

Don't you spend them down almost immediately?
He said he'd play anywhere, so that presumably includes Toronto. That he hasn't been traded must mean Houston isn't interested, so I don't know which landing spot makes sense.

I missed both of those. I heard something about LeBron breaking a Jordan record and wondered what records could be left to break.
Edit: Thanks! I'm looking forward to being even more involved with SN.
