Check malc's rep and the comments left. I counted 87 times in one night.
For people trying to put Curry, Lebron, Kobe on MJ's level all I have to do is sum it up with..
- Thread starter Ethnic Vagina Finder
- Start date
Curry is a beast and adding to his legend by the day but he has a long time before he is able to compare to MJ. Especially in the postseason where Jordan was usually better then he was during the regular season.
See -
I was only really poking fun at the OP - who created a straw man argument by showing Jordan's postseason resume as if anybody was comparing his to Curry's in the first place. I mean if we get down to all the base stats, time on court, dissect how many points each player created for their team (offensively speaking) etc etc - his 14/15 postseason probably compares to a few non-title runs but that's besides the point.
The point was to illustrate how nonsensical, cheap and unfounded this thread was to begin with. Nobody ever argued that Curry's career (postseason or regular) was even comparable to Jordan's. Most of these dudes fail to realize what Jordan references/comparisons are being used, then in turn taking as if it means he's being compared to him defensively or how many accolades/stats he's earned over his career.
Everyone was negging him multiple times. shyt @cook probably negged him over 100 times, at the very least. Does he suffer from autism?
The question is, why does the OP (and everyone that's in agreement with him) think anybody is trying to compare Curry's career to Jordan's in the first place?
Because the media is starting too. I'm trying to kill that shyt before it starts. And in the title I just didn't throw shots at Currry.
As the years pass players who played in older generations continuous get marginalized. I give all the current past and present players their props but Jordan is GOAT. Nobody is in his lane. nikkas still rocking his shoes from 30 years ago.

Still don't think Pippen had the most defensive impact in Game 3, after the evidence provided?

Nah they're not. And quite frankly this thread is dishonest because nobody on this board is trying to prop up Curry like that. Clearly you taking jabs at dudes on this board when they've never made the connection in the first place. It's a straw man argument. Posters compare Kobe's and LeBron's careers all the time on this board, nobody tries to use Curry's in the same manner.
I'm still figuring out how this board believes Iggy was more deserving of the FMVP than Curry was, yet Pippen didn't have a even good case (not the best) for FMVP in '91 and '98. After all, both players were quite clearly the second most important/impactful players on their respective squads.

Bro Iggy was actually voted as the FMVP where Jordan was FMVP in those years you are talking about. Pippen may have had a case but Jordan was voted the FMVP. Curry had a few games where Delly was all into him in the Finals. Curry figured it out but he wasn't as dominant as one would expect a player of his caliber to be. Where Iggy played at a high level on both ends of the floor.
I think I know that. What I'm saying is a good portion of this board believes Iggy was more deserving than Curry, despite the fact that Curry was quite clearly their most important player and had the most impact on their success in that series. Did Iggy have a strong case? Yeah sure. Same applies to Pippen - yet dudes in here acting it's some wild shyt when I say he had a strong case. Why isn't some wild shyt when Iggy was voted FMVP? I see everyone dapping the post with Jordan's and Pippen's box scores in the Finals, yet why don't they apply the same logic to Curry?
In case you didn't get the memo -
"81.5 percent of Iguodala’s scores versus Cleveland were assisted. The nearest defender on all but nine of his 37 made field goals was Mozgov, Thompson or 34-year-old James Jones."
Curry - 26 ppg, 6.3 assists while generating a large percentage of the Warriors points due to being trapped and double-teamed
Iggy - 16.3 ppg, 4.0 assists while taking mostly open, assisted shots while teams were focused on either Curry or Klay
Curry struggled with his shot in Game 2 and shot 50%, 50%, 47%, 56% and 42% in the remaining games. It was less Delly and more the team defense - trapping and doubling him, forcing the ball out of his hands on almost every possession - Iggy and others were the benefactors of this as it gave them open looks at the basket or open driving lanes.

Easy, saying Iguodala deserved it more allows them to hate on Curry, we talking about the same people who say Delly shut him down.
@Brozay what is your opinion on this? Surely if you believe that Iggy either was most deserving (more than Curry) or he had a strong case for FMVP (not as much as Curry), surely you can't think that Pippen didn't have a similar case in '91 and '98?I'm still figuring out how this board believes Iggy was more deserving of the FMVP than Curry was, yet Pippen didn't have a even good case (not the best) for FMVP in '91 and '98.

Nobody on here is really old enough to remember 91, but you're not going with the #2 scorer for MVP in a 5 game "sweep". Jordan dropped 31 6 and 11 on 55% shooting
. NOBODY thinks Pip had any argument for FMVP.
All I remember from 98 was game 6, don't recall anybody then or now talking about Pip as a possible mvp especially after MJs storybook ending..
Last year Bron was the main reason Cavs won two games and Iggy was the main reason he shot 8% outside of the paint. I think you can make a serious argument that the Warriors wouldn't have won if Iggy didn't play and that they still could've won if Steph didn't. Steph wasn't bad just not great by his standards, 44% from the field 38% from 3. Finals was probably his worst series in the playoffs.
