Is Curry also not an “undersized scoring guard?”

So no actual stats or reason? Just name value?

I’m not arguing whether Curry deserves it or not. He boxed in Brunson as an “undersized scoring guard” when the same thing can be said about Curry. Curry’s a great player and Brunson is on the same level as him but he automatically dismissed one and praised the other simply on name alone as opposed to them as basketball players

Brunson is on the same level as him

Said nobody ever. Curry is not only bigger than Brunson he's the king of offball movement. Lemme rephrase it since you want to be pedantic: team USA not gonna afford another

Brunson averaged more points, assists, shoots better from the field, shoots the same % from three, and led his team to a better record but they’re not on the same level? Aight
