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

i've actually talked about my issues with steph, to the dismay of a lotta guys in the Warriors threads. it's not blind stannery

But using endurance/motor and physicality as reasons why, when there is overwhelming evidence that he has proven himself in those regards is awful reasoning.

U have a good one tho

Context is everything, brother.Have a good one.

steph played 5 games in the 2020 season

Steph played with fringe NBA talent in 2021

at least Iverson had an actual team, although everyone acts like that 1 seeded 76ers team was trash


2021 GSW:
-Kent Bazemore - Fringe NBA Talent. Fell out the Lakers rotation last season after 15 games. out the league, hasnt been signed
-Eric Paschall - Fringe NBA talent. signed a 1 year 2-way contract in july, only in the league for 4 seasons and is close to being out
-Mychal Mulder - Fringe NBA talent. Waived after being on a two way contract with Miami
-Brad Wannamaker - Fringe NBA talent. out the league
-Kelly Oubre - need i say more
-James Wiseman - Fringe NBA talent. has no earthly idea how to play nba basketball. looks lost most of the time on the court
-Jordan Poole - 2nd year in the league at the time. On his way to being a good rotation piece.
-Draymond - 1 of 3 legitimate basketball players
-Andrew wiggins - the second of 3 legitimate ball players next to steph
-Nico Mannion - Fringe NBA talent out the league after 1 season
-Damion Lee - fringe NBA talent. Steph's brother-in-law
-Kevon Looney- 3rd legitimate ball player next to steph. unfortunately Coming off surgery. Had his minutes cut to accommodate future NBA Bust, James Wiseman
-Gary Payton II - played 10 games total in the 2021 season
-Alen Smalagic - Fringe NBA talent. Out the league
-Juan-toscano Anderson - fringe NBA talent. Cut out of the rotation for Jonathan Kuminga (a rookie) a season later.




2001 76ers
-Mutombo - the current DPOY, his FOURTH
-Tyrone Hill - former All Star, 10 year vet at the time
-Matt Geiger - 10 year vet
-Jumaine Jones - good defensive player, about 8 year vet at the time
-aaron mckie - 6MOY

The issue with this team was that there were no other scorers, but it was an incredible defensive/rebounding team.

The 2021 warriors were filled with fringe NBA talent from top to bottom, most of whom are out of the league, or on the way out. If you give steph the 2001 sixers they can make the finals. People are calling the 2022 warriors stacked. As long as you give steph competent NBA players, he can always contend. it was still a very special year for the 2001 76ers and special run. Still impressive due to the offensive burden Iverson had to bear, but his teammates deserve more credit because they stepped up in those playoffs even when AI was kinda losing his matchup in every series.

And if Iverson played in a good conference he doesn't sniff the finals. I can play that game too


Steph went through Luka and Jokic who are easily better than anybody Iverson played in the East

The 01 Sixers had the MVP, DPOY, 6MOY and COY on their squad. That's better than Wiggins who people said was a bust and the worst contract in the league and a washed Klay and Dray

 

[Da King]

Was defense allowed in 2001?

To be fair one year he was out the entire season

The other year they were a top 5 seed before he got injured. Afterwards proceeded to fall in standings. It’s not as if that we’re completely struggling with him available

Even with injuriess, in any other year they would have clinched the 8th seed

 

[daboywonder2002]

You nikkas on here are retarded

Hes not lying. The thing is Iverson will have 40 to 50 point games and it will make you forget that he had a bad shooting night. Plus he had the green light all the time so you really weren't questioning his shot selection. If you look up his stats he was having seasons shooting 39 to 41% from the field

 

[Smitty Belafonte]

That Philly team had the COY 6MY DPY and a number 1 defense. Yes Steph MVP season would have got them to the playoffs

 

[Shadow King]

Steph gets to the rim & finishes at an elite level. He also is the GOAT shooter.

This constant narrative to not want to put Steph with the Giannis/Bron types of players who can turn a team around just by their presence Is crazy

That presence didn't mean much in 2021, and the year before, even HE felt his presence wouldn't be enough

 

[Regular_P]

2022 and there's still people that can't accept Steph being one of the GOATs.

 

[NatiboyB]

No one would of let curry shoot like he does he would of been setting the table. AI was definitely the type who could Will you to the finals and no I don’t think curry’s that guy.

He’s a star and supremely talented but I have not seen him Individually lead the team without dray and klay and Andre iggy to a lesser extent.
