Caution! Due to inherent human biases, it may seem that reports on articles aligning with our views are crafted by opponents. Conversely, reports about articles that contradict our beliefs might seem to be authored by allies. However, such perceptions are likely to be incorrect.

Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Appeal to authority

Using the opinion of a famous person to support a claim

Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal became the latest to shower Curry with praise. 'I’m wondering — I’m not saying, just wondering — because he’s been consistently the best shooter his whole career, I’m wondering is it it time to start putting him (in the conversation) as the best player of all time?,' O’Neal Tuesday on TNT’s 'Inside The NBA.'

Provide additional evidence or analysis to support the claim about Curry's greatness instead of relying solely on Shaq's opinion.

Biased language

Using words that express a subjective opinion or emotion

The NBA world marveled at Stephen Curry, as it has for the past 15 years, as it witnessed his latest act of greatness. Curry once again stuck a dagger through the Celtics’ chest, sinking a rainbow 3-pointer from the wing off a from Chris Paul. The overtime 3 — a 'moon ball,' as Klay Thompson said — gave the Warriors an impressive over Boston.

Use neutral language to describe Curry's performance and avoid subjective terms like 'marveled' and 'impressive'.

Oversimplification

Presenting a complex issue or phenomenon as simple or one-dimensional

What Curry has, though, is a claim to changing the sport unlike any other player: His unique skills have inspired a 3-point revolution that has taken over the game at all levels.

Provide more evidence and analysis to support the claim that Curry's skills have inspired a 3-point revolution.
