Barkley: Curry 'not more than a shooter'
Steph Curry is averaging 29.8 points and 6.6 assists per game this season.
But according to Charles Barkley, the reigning MVP isn't a great playmaker.
The following is an exchange between Dime Magazine and Barkley from Thursday night in Toronto:
Barkley: "He's just a great shooter."
Dime: "But he’s more than a shooter, right? Because he’s..."
Barkley: "No. He’s not more than a shooter. He’s just a great shooter."
Dime: "So, he’s not an incredible playmaker? Doesn’t make the game easier on his teammates? Stuff like that?"
Barkley: "I wouldn’t say that. But he’s not a great playmaker. He’s just a great shooter."
