But doesn't count cause the unanimous MVP gets graded on a curve. :mjlol:

And Dame would have lost to Westbrook every other season if the Blazers hadn't bowed out of the playoffs before they even met.

LeBron has outplayed Curry 4 out of 4 times that they've met. Curry's only won when he had superior supporting cast.

Overall Finals averages when facing each other from 2015-2018:

LeBron: 33-12-9 on 48% shooting, 35% from three
Curry: 25-6-6 on 42% shooting, 40% from three

Moses used to routinely put the beats on Kareem in both the regular season and postseason. Thats yall GOAT though, probably the most consistent undressing of a Top 10 GOAT by anybody...
I think you're exaggerating a bit there. You could say Moses Malone outplayed Kareem in their head-to-heads in the 1980s, but the gap wasn't huge. And Moses was MVP in 1979, 1982, and 1983, while all but one of Kareem's MVPs were 1977 or earlier, so Moses SHOULD have been equal or better than Kareem at that point. Not to mention that Kareem was 34yo by 1981 while Moses was just 26yo.



They don't play the same position though.
So i don't think the impact is the same :manny:
True, but the way LeBron would hunt for Curry on both offense and defense was pretty wicked.

It may not have been huge but it was consistently Moses outplayed him, and Kareem pulled a couple 4thQ no-shows in The Finals there vs Moses too...

Kareem was a Top 5 MVP finalist in five of the first seven years of the 80s. He had more than enough game and reason to think their H2Hs should have been more balanced...

Good for Bron. Come out the series as a winner instead of losing in 5 or getting swept and maybe the world talks differently

They don’t guard each other and play 2 different positions... Still Bron lost to Curry 3/4. You can slice it any way you want but you lookin wild foolish out here :mjlol:

Act like the cavs ain’t have the talent to get to the finals 4 years in a row brehs
