Lakers won 35 games and were improving nicely before LeBron got there with about the same roster. Take Curry off the dubs with Klay out injured and they might win 15-20 games. Might.
Yes, Lakers roster was way better.
I couldn't remember when Kobe fucked up an elimination game so joke's on me.
There was that time that people said he shot too much in the 50 point game against the suns so the next game he didnt shoot at all.
wow okay okay you got me there.
but look here, Harden would never have a statline like that in an elimation game.
or Kobe,
or Lillard, or Giannis
Exactly so how is he unstoppable? That's what I initially responded too lol
Yeah...in an era when pretty much everyone knows you have to have at least 3 shooters on the floor at all times the Warriors had just one (Raptors were routinely putting out 4-5 dudes you could not leave open beyond 18') Curry almost got them to a game 7 in the Finals (after pretty much single handedly destroying the Rocket's souls followed by the Blazers). He was fucking magnificent. Even on his low % nights he drew all the defense...like every person on the other team. The Raptors ran a fucking college box-and-one defense at him because he was so far beyond what his teammates were capable of they were irrelevant. Warriors did not box-and-one Bron when he had to carry his team (and lost) in 2016 (he actually had a few shooters around which made that a bad idea). If the Warriors ran a box-and-one at Leonard he would have scored 7 points but his team would have won by 30 because they would have just drained 3s all day long. Dubs were not in a position to have that sort of shooting with every ounce of non-Curry salary tied up in two super human shooters who were hurt.
My boy? I can't stand KD bro.
What I am saying is KD was the man of those last two Warrior teams that beat LBJ, not Curry. The only time when Curry was the best player on the Warriors was when LBJ was without Irving and Love.
By that standard, nobody outside of MJ can 'score at will'. Raptors had the best defense last season and were willing to let anybody outside of Curry beat them. Even the Warriors when playing LBJ didn't dedicate the entire defense to Bron like that.
well eff, true.
hm, so if Curry isn't a HOFfer
I guess Lebron is.....
and literally no other active players would be above curry
dang, that's a bad era.
You can try a box and 1 against Shaq, LeBron, MJ, KD etc. and see how well that works out for you.
Curry is not some unstoppable force on the level of Shaq is the point I was making. He probly needed about 4-6 more inches to reach that level.
currys gravity couldn't help make that last wide open shot. The brick 🧱

Curry has 2 all stars and WCS. That's far better then Lonzo, Ingram, Kuze and Rondo
Michael Jordan is fantastic at evaluating talent. I'd trust his opinion over anybody else's when it comes to Curry. Just look at the teams he's built since becoming GM in 2006:
Why couldn't Jordan just fade into existence gracefully?
Pels by 10. Raps still hungover. Ibaka gonna passout in the shower.
