Scottie Pippen: Curry not dominant, isn't even the best Warrior

Chicago Bulls legend Scottie Pippen had some intriguing critiques Tuesday on ESPN's "The Jump." Pippen, a six-time NBA champ and seven-time All-Star, calmly called Golden State's Stephen Curry "a great player," but stopped short of calling him "dominant."

Pippen prefaced those remarks by also saying the two-time MVP is neither the best player in The Finals nor the best player on his own team.

While it is fair to stipulate that Curry isn't the best player in the NBA Finals considering the presence of LeBron James and Kevin Durant, failing to recognize Curry as a "dominant player" seems to slight the guard's historic shooting numbers.

In 2015-16, Curry shattered his own league record for 3-pointers in a single season, knocking down 402 threes in 79 games. With just eight NBA seasons to his name, Curry already sits 10th all time in 3-pointers made and third all time in 3-point percentage (43.7).

As a four-time All-Star, two-time MVP, and NBA champion, Curry's prolific shooting has come to define the modern NBA's focus on the 3-pointer and its impact on the game.

It's a minor detail, but this year the Warriors averaged 1.197 points per possession with Curry on the floor and Durant off it. That number fell to 1.102 with Durant on the floor and Curry sidelined, per nbawowy.com.
