If you were to put Steph Curry on the 2001 Sixers would they still make the finals?

Would Steph be able to take that bum ass Sixers team to the finals?

What’s being lost in all this is Steph is very brittle in comparison to Iverson. Steph also gets hemmed up, grabbed, all sorts of shyt and this was with other scorers like KD and Klay on the floor. On that 76ers team with limited offensive options, it would be open season on Curry(pause) doubles and triples coming. Kobe getting up in his jersey(pause again) it would be ugly. Steph spent the first half of his career hurt and considered injury prone, which is why he had that small contract that allowed KD to come in the first place. I don’t see it for Steph tbh. Iverson played through a lot of injuries that would have ended Curry’s season immediately.

It's not getting lost in all this, at all.

This point has already been addressed and debunked many a time all throughout this thread.

Comments here are looking funny in the klay-less, durant-less light.
We saw Curry in the KD-less and Klay-less light explode in the finals against a defense significantly better than anything Iverson faced on his road to the finals.

You mean after Steph just led his team to five-consecutive Finals appearances, that somehow proves he wasn't durable enough for one postseason run, all because of a freak accident where a goofy-ass 6-10, 260lb player landed on his hand?

:usure:

The greatest shooter that has ever lived wouldn't need to take the pounding that Iverson took to prove he could lead that '01 team to the Finals; he wouldn't need to drive into the paint with reckless abandon because he could rely on his jumpshot more. Why does this seem to escape your logic, as if somehow, you think Steph would need to exist in the paint to the same degree that AI did, in order to win?

And furthermore, the fact you keep trying to stamp this point of durability all throughout this thread, tells me that you've inadvertently conceded that you believe there's no other factor in Iverson's favor. And it also tells me that since you're hanging onto this frayed thread of durability, that you're incapable of weighing this up with any objectivity.
