"Steph Curry isn't the best 3-point shooter in the NBA. It's Ray Allen."

"You just say Steph Curry because you're a Warriors fan." Uh, no. This is an example of Grant talking out his ass. He does it often. He went on to say that Ray Allen is a more complete player and that he plays defense. This is a common problem for Grant. He starts arguing things that have nothing to do with the original statement. "Does Kobe Bryant wear shoes? Am I right? OK then. You just lost the argument." I prefer to let the stats do the talking. According to an article on NBA.com, Steph Curry is the top shooter in the NBA for several reasons, among them... • Of all players who made 500 three-pointers by age 24, Curry has the hightest 3-pointer percentage. • Curry, Magic Johnson, Walter Davis, Kevin Johnson and Michael Jordan are the only five guards in NBA history who had .582 or better true shooting percentages--with 500 field goals made--by age 24 • Steph Curry has posted four of the best nine three-point shooting percentage seasons in NBA history for players with at least 2.0 makes per game. When looking at this year's stats, you can see Steph Curry at #3 on the 3-pt FG% list, but this doesn't do justice. He had BY FAR, the most 3-point attempts this year. To do this over such a broad number of attempts is incredible. He's not just the best shooter in the game today; he may be the greatest pure shooter of all time.

In this picture, you can see Curry ended as the #3 shooter with respect to 3-point FG%. Anyone want Calderon or Korver over him?

In this picture, you can see the number of shots he took. He's the only one who took 600 three-point shots, and the next two are way down in rank on FG%.

So, does anyone want Ray Allen over Curry? Comment.

"Dude.... I'm fucking tired."

That was the response today when Grant was getting a lecture about his lack of communication. He is 17, yet he still gets his phone taken away, he still gets in trouble for petty things at school, and he still makes childish excuses. Today he was being lectured about not keeping in contact, for not informing me he wouldn't be home last night. He said he told his neighbor to tell his mom to tell me. Who does that? That is ridiculous. When I carried on, he continued with the fact he's tired and didn't want to hear it. Now, if he were a hard-working, responsible, and respectable citizen, then I could grant him this wish - to leave him alone until he is rested. But Grant played this card becuase it was convenient. He wouldn't say that if someone invited him to go see some girls or to go do something fun. Conclusion: Grant needs to get this kind of line out of his system. This is an old man's line, not a 17-year old's line. He has energy for everything fun, and that means he has energy to listen to me go off on him for not contacting me last night.

Welcome

So as the title and description say, Grant Saucerman doesn't know his rank. He says things he shouldn't, and he does things he shouldn't. The bad thing is, he knows it and does it anyway. Will he ever learn his lesson before it's too late? We will chronicle his mishaps to make this his first and biggest lesson in being sassy to his family, his teachers, and his tutor.
