Furthermore, if Steph Curry's game were translated into the 70s, the lack of a 3-point line, prevalance of very physical defense, and regression in medical technology in dealing with his ankle issues would have gave him a Tiny Archibald-like career. Overall Steph Curry would not have the same effect on the League.
