Has Steph Curry supplanted LeBron as the 'Best Player in the World?' (CP Alert)

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

you do understand that curry play no defense not one bit so no he is not better are you under 30

I won't even disrespectful by going into detail about how stupid you sound... I'll just tell you straight up, but I won't add adjectives or anything... Out of respect

 

[Day_Carver]

Curry is a better Shooter.... That's about it.

Curry is a better offensive player...thats about it

 

[mrJR]

Ask Chris Paul if Curry is an average dribbler. Lmfao... Dudes are delusional.! An average passer? Ya smoking crack bruh

 

[Day_Carver]

Again, foolishness. What did Miami do once Lebron left? What did Cleveland do the first time Lebron left? The warriors are such a great team they won over 20 games in a row with their coach gone. That's the system. Curry plays in an almost bull proof system. Lebron makes his team good.

How does LBJ make Love and Irving better??

 

[NER0]

I tried to frame this avoid this type of response. First off, we're going to leave the GOAT as just being in a group of people that others consistently argue for....

2nd.. the question is "if he continues to play at his level, is he in the argument?"

It's qualifying his current play.

There were many great players who had back to back great seasons that never had this type of impact so the question never needed to be ask what would it mean if this was extrapolated out.

Well, if he won Mvp every year and championships every year and averaged 30ppg every year until he's done...he'd be the GOAT
HE WONT THO...
The dude has won One title... No need to even ask...

 

[NER0]

Curry isn't even greater than Tim Duncan at this point....

 

[NER0]

Or Kobe

 

[NER0]

Or LBJ.... Delete this shit

Not only safe, but inspirational. all these non athletic CACS and non-blacks are envisioning themselves, their kids, and all their non-black peers and counterparts having a chance to be BBall stars. This is why the NBA media and sports writers are so committed to elevating Curry and the way he plays to GOD status as well as propping this current pussified version of the league vs. previous iterations. Theres never been a white or non-Black Lebron, Jordan or Kobe and there never will be. Ever. But theres been plenty of white boys that could shoot the lights out. They tired of watching the game being judged by criteria they dont meet so theyre changing the narrative and they all looking forward to a league with WHITE (or close to) stars again, Steph Curry is helping to set it up for them

Name one white or non black steph...

 

[theteacher]

But this is what I mean about this generation. Niggaz souls' is hurting cuz he isn't named MVP!?!? But you supposed to be the heir to Jordan and Kobe?! Right. He sound real dumb trying to explain, what is what. You #1 in the east. How you answer back is by winning it all! Stop fucken talkin...

Steph has won One NBA title
Lebron Two...
Lebron has taken scrubs and more to the Finals 5-6 years in a row
holla at me when Steph goes to the finals 5-6 times win or lose..

 

[BDR]

you are a ninja that doesn't know shit about basketball. The second you think Curry up there with Jordan, you don't know shit. It's laughable, really.

I'll wait until Steph does this:

Member of six NBA championship teams (1991-93, 1996-98)

Five-time NBA Most Valuable Player (1988, 1991-92, 1996, 1998)

Six-time NBA Finals Most Valuable Player (1991-93, 1996-98)

Ten-time All-NBA First Team (1987-93, 1996-98)

Nine-time NBA All-Defensive First Team (1987-93, 1996-98)

NBA Defensive Player of the Year (1988)

NBA Rookie of the Year (1985)

NBA All-Rookie Team (1985)

Three-time NBA All-Star Game MVP (1988, 1996, 1998)

Holds the NBA Finals record for highest single-series scoring average -- 41.0 ppg (1993)

Member of the gold-medal-winning U.S. Olympic team (1984, 1992)

Holds the NBA Finals single-game record for most points in one half -- 35 (June 3, 1992 vs. Portland)

Point to me where I said Curry is up there with Mike in accomplishments


I'll wait

From the title I was expecting to read Lebron talking shit but the reality is that what he said is true.The Warriors are still a really good team without Curry.Lebron can pretty much take any team and make them good.The cavs without Lebron is a pretty bad team. Lebron isn't as good of a shooter as Curry but he is better in every other way especially defensively.

hes not better in any offensive category than steph, none; hes better defensively and thats it...

yes
yes
and yes
Kyrie has more handles than Curry to be honest
and lebron is a better passer with better court vision than curry

You sir are foolish and dont watch basketball...

 

[godofwine]

Well, looks like his finals win percentage is about to get worse.

I see this too. I am from Cleveland and live in the south suburbs. LeBron for all his Basketball IQ does some low IQ shit (like that shot at the end of game 4 in the Atlanta series. For as great as he is he confounds fans, and likely coaches and players too with hero shots - that far too often miss, ISO-Ball that leads to turnovers, and dribbling to run the ENTIRE clock out and then force a horrible shot. The thing is, Curry takes bad shots, too, and very often. The difference is Curry makes his bad shots at a better than 50% average, and LeBron's percentage is half that.

All that said, Without Curry I can see the Warriors winning 50 games, finish in the middle of the pack in the west, while Cleveland sans LeBron would be a step above a lottery team if not a lottery team, so I could say that LeBron is the MVP. But with Curry improving in nearly every statistical category and having marksman-like accuracy from the 3-point like and was the catalyst to the Warriors winning 73 games Curry was the easy choice for MVP.

I can see LeBron and the Cavs losing to the Warriors again because LeBron is convinced that he is a jumpshooter rather than a low post man who can occasionally stretch the flood and shoot 3's.

One word for you..... UNANIMOUS

 

[therealjondoe]

How's Cleveland a lottery team without Lebron?
They've got 2 other all stars and the highest payroll in the league, no?

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

I'll wait

Dude Curry has dudes losing their mind saying dumbshit today!

I had a dude argue with me on the fact that Magic was better, and for me to prove him wrong but we couldn't talk about offense!?!? Nigga dumb as hell

Kyrie + Love alone makes them much better than a lottery team in the East

 

[mrJR]

These dudes trying to hug the heavens standing on a soap box..... REACHING

 

[therealjondoe]

one word for you: STATS

How many years head start ?
Lebron's played way more games of course he will be ahead in stats.

 

[therealjondoe]

These cats don't watch the games.

 

[militantmidget]

you do understand that curry play no defense not one bit so no he is not better are you under 30

How do you lead the league in STEALS and play no defense?

 

[Day_Carver]

when he becomes a great two way player. Right now he hides very well in the team defense.

name a player in the league right now(not name LBJ) that is as dominant as curry on offensive, that plays better defense??

 

[Confucius]

 

[Confucius]

the point is that he is a big beating him in small ball categories and big man categories

 

[Day_Carver]

How do you lead the league in STEALS and play no defense?

people who say that are ridiculous and are just hating...

 

[Confucius]

How many years head start ?
Lebron's played way more games of course he will be ahead in stats.

The bottom ones are averages not cumulative

 

[therealjondoe]

How do you lead the league in STEALS and play no defense?

On one of the best defense teams per 100 possessions in the league I believe

 

[godofwine]

Kyrie + Love alone makes them much better than a lottery team in the East

The Cavaliers are 1 win and 5 losses without LeBron this year, including a game but they gave up a 20-point lead against Houston. Given one of those games was the final game of the season that did not matter I would say that they are one and four without LeBron this year - a lottery quality team

 

[THREAD_CRITIC]

you do understand that curry play no defense not one bit so no he is not better are you under 30

Why does everyone say Curry don't play Defense? He's not the glove but you have to play some D to lead the league in steals

 

[THREAD_CRITIC]

How many years head start ?
Lebron's played way more games of course he will be ahead in stats.

Ummm averages...

 

[THREAD_CRITIC]

Curry is a better offensive player...thats about it

Jump shot....that's it.

 

[Spectrum]

Curry isn't even greater than Tim Duncan at this point....

Yall niggas are functional retards. We're talking about NOW not careers.

 

[militantmidget]

On one of the best defense teams per 100 possessions in the league I believe

So he leads the league in steals because the other 4 guys on the court play defense, but he plays none?

Ok, yall just HATING at this point.
