In the long run I think you'll realize it ain't worth it and that it really isn't the least bit what is important in life. BTW - I wasn't trying to speak to anyone specifically, just the general tone of the curry haters on here. Carry on... I'm done preaching.flamehunter wrote:He came, we all cheered him on, we loved watching him knock down 3's. He made a decision to better his personal situation (in his own opinion - which is the one that counts for him) and left. If you hold a grudge that's a personal problem. You don't have to like his decision, or even like him but to still be bitter is only hurting yourself.I'm so thankful for this sort of life advice. I didn't realize how much I've been hurting myself.
BuryYourDuke wrote:I should clarify that this doesnt affect my life outside of this message board. There are a lot of things that are much more important than Liberty athletics. I'm passionate about it, but this is generally my outlet for that. I spend very little of my life thinking about Seth Curry. I spend most of my life working to make my city a better place and living the gospel for the good of the city.That is great to hear. I generally am pretty patient but I get irritated when I keep hearing the same complaints and gripes and whining over and over. Some people seem to place way too much importance on things of this world. (See any vtechhokies20 post). Thanks for clarifying. I hope others share your priorities.

Around the 5:00 mark in the second half, he attempted a 3 from the corner near the bench, with the Clemson player closing in on him. He rises up, fires, then as he is on his way down, he brings his right knee up...way up to draw contact against the defender. He shot 3 FT's.
I can understand doing the Reggie Miller thing where at least it looks like part of the shooting motion & drawing contact. But, this one was just blatant & goes against the spirit of the rule & the game.

(He also leads the team in 3-point shots made.)
