It’s August, meaning it’s football time, and it’s difficult for NBA items to cut through the news cycle. But because we love Stephen Curry here at The Big Lead, a mention of this nonsense seems necessary:
Dahntay Jones, a 36-year old designated goon for the Cavs, was asked about the 2nd best point guard in NBA history, and Jones said the Curry wasn’t a top 10 player in the NBA.
Via a podcast with Barstool Sports:
“People get mad at me, because I don’t declare him a top-10 player in the NBA, which is fine,” Jones replied. “I’ve got him on the outside – like 11, 12.”
It’s difficult for me to even feign outrage over this because it’s so insanely dumb. Two titles. Two MVPs. Basically every three-point NBA record in addition to being the driving force of the league’s obsession with the 3-pointer.
