Phil Jackson compares Steph Curry to ... Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf?

[Sportsguy9695]

NBA players, coaches, execs, analysts and fans have struggled to find the proper comparison for Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry.
On Sunday, New York Knicks president Phil Jackson offered his own Curry comparison on Twitter.
On the surface, putting these two names in the same sentence may seem silly -- particularly given how Curry performed on Saturday night.

Phil is rehashing the 2009 draft comps? And now?
Why?

I really don't understand the recent Steph hate. He's extremely talented, deal with it.

Chris Jackson was extremely talented too

I would have to agree that a 35% career 3PT shooter reminds me of the greatest shooter who ever lived

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I don't think he said they're talent equivalents, just that their play style is similar

 

[elcheato]

Steph reminds me of Jon Diebler

High school Diebler maybe
