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?

Neither Steph nor Kobe could’ve got that Sixers team to the finals…. Not sure they even make the playoffs with one of them

The only thing Iverson does better offensively than Steph is dribble. That’s it. Everything else Steph is either equal or vastly superior at.

shyt, Larry Brown was the coach. He could have ran a variation of the Rip Hamilton offense with Steph and they coast to the finals.

This makes zero fukking sense curry and kobe can do 95% of what AI can do

And whatever AI does better (handles) , those other two DESTROY AI in other areas

The sixers won games with AI going 10-30, 10-30, 10-31, 11-28, 10-32, 6-24, and 5-27 that postseason. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say that the greatest shooter of all time could’ve outperformed that sort of masonry.

Larry Brown ain't running that offense with Eric Snow, George Lynch, Ty Hill and Deke as the other 4...and having success. The closest to that type of team for Steph is his Pacers, and they still had another shooter/scorer in Smits...and never made the Finals with him coaching. Now, He didn't implement the same offense in Philly that he had in Det or Indy...and he coached the Spurs and they had disappointing seasons each year.

No matter how great a player is, it still takes the perfect blend of building a team that compliments them, implementing a style of play that maximizes their abilities AND everyone buying into said system. A better question is Steph over Reggie and how many rings do they have.

Another example - Nash was a better player than Jason Terry. Yet, when the Mavs traded away Nash, and became an all ISO team is when they go to the Finals almost instantly. Younger Kidd on that Mavs team goes to Finals, but Nash on those Nets teams don't, not back to back - not even in the East

the first response was straight forward and didn’t need further questioning or explaining.

My hand was forced for response 2:hubie:

These drugs are personal use only, cause I be stressing bad. Poverty and pain is all I had. When I was down in dumps, no one lifted me up. Said I would never make in art cause I was gifted enough. So why the hell would chill y'all? Id get felony charges before I share with y'all.
