{The Official 2021-22 NBA Thread} - Finals: Warriors vs Celtics…{4-2 advantage warriors } Dubs NBA champs, Curry MVP

Off of that list it would be easy for me to insert Curry and remove Bill Russell. Sorry but his 10 rings don't mean shit to me.

2. He won them in a era where no mobility white boys were the league average. I'm sure that competent modern day AAU team could give them white boys a scare.
With this argument you could remove Shaq. There was no one his size in the nba. He had no post moves just bullied his way to points

  1. He won them for Boston. A city that was still calling him a n***** while he was gifting them banners.
  2. He won them in a era where no mobility white boys were the league average. I'm sure that competent modern day AAU team could give them white boys a scare.
Now remove two more.

I completely understand what your saying. Honestly that logic is why I usually try to avoid 'best of' discussions. The NBA more than most other sport leagues is a game of eras.

If I was a GM of an expansion team during the1960s and had the choice of Steph or Bill, I'd be crazy not to pick Bill. There was no 3 point line in the 60s and half of the dribble move Curry does on the regular would probably be illegal.

That scenario changes a lot if I'm a GM in the league today with those same options. I'll say that during the time I've been an active NBA fans (90'/91' to now) the choice will be Steph 10 out of 10 times, twice on game day Sunday.

Side note: it will always be crazy to me that Bill won that city chip after chip and still had to deal with the racist bullshit. Like the same white boys who are cheering you in the fourth, turn around and refuse you service at a bar an hour later. Fucking Boston bruh
 


Glad he got the Finals MVP but I wish he hadn't spoken directly about finally getting one because it makes those hating analyst feel like their words mean something. He said he couldn't think of anything clever to say, I said yesterday I was hoping he'd say “Can I get my damnn respect“ like Lebron did that had the analyst crying talking about “why you have to ask for respect, your play should speak for itself”
