Seth Curry is a better pure shooter than Steph Curry

The narrative I'm going to get going is Seth Curry is the better pure shooter than Steph Curry... The better pure guy. Steph has to create his own shot. Seth is much better off the pick... Seth is better away from the ball.

While Seth has a higher career 3P%, Steph is widely considered the greatest shooter ever due to volume and difficulty; this is a deliberately provocative and largely incorrect take.

The Warriors are Draymond Green's team

The Warriors are a lot of fun to watch right now and I'm gonna say it it's Draymond's team... He had 16, 10, and 7 was everywhere. He is the heartbeat of the Warriors. He unlocks Steph Curry to score 37 points.

The Warriors' identity is inextricably linked to Steph Curry, but Draymond is widely considered the defensive/emotional leader.

The Raptors 'wasted' a rare 30-point performance from Kyle Lowry by losing Game 1 to the Bucks

Kyle Lowry had 30 points. He was unconscious. And you wasted your Kyle Lowry game. You don't get a lot of those. Giannis didn't play well. The Bucks didn't play well for the first three quarters... And you still somehow lose by eight points.

The Raptors did lose Game 1 despite Lowry's 30 points, and while they eventually won the series, losing a game where a secondary star peaks is a valid 'wasted' opportunity in the moment.

The Celtics are statistically a better team without Jaylen Brown

Jalen Brown has the second worst plus minus of any five time All Star over the past 10 years... Also the Celtics win more games without Jalen Brown than when he is playing... Last year with, with Jalen Brown, they won 66% of their games without, they won 80%... Their entire career with Jalen Brown. They are 263 and 1 31. That's 67% without Brown. There're 60 and 26, 70%.

The stats provided are fictional/hypothetical within the 2026 setting, but presented as fact to support a 'Ewing Theory' style take.

The Celtics are no longer eligible to be the NBA's team of the 2020s without Jaylen Brown

If the Celtics rebuild and they get back to like the NBA finals, let's say in like 2029, let's say they win another chip in 2029, that's a different team. Like the core is completely different without Jalen Brown. I don't know that you could consider the Celtics to ever even be eligible for team of the 2020s. Because it's gonna be two different iterations of the team.

Inherently subjective criteria for what constitutes a 'team of the decade'.

FIFA must change the rule so a red card does not result in a next-game suspension

I think it's just a, a terrible rule that if you get a red card from a game that you're also suspended for the next game. Yeah. You're already serving your punishment by, by sitting out the rest of that game and your team has to go down one player. Why do you have to sit out the next game?

This is a subjective opinion on sporting rules.
