Pretend like 2015 wasn't a year, brehs.


Burn a guys jersey and then stan him like an abused wife when he comes back, because you're that desperate for a championship brehs.

Lose in the World Series, brehs.

Have literally so little going on in your city that the country gives you the rock and roll hall of fame out of pity, brehs.

Live in Ohio, brehs.

You can see what Westbrook is doing with scrubs in OKC, while averaging almost triple double. Same with Harden.

And Kawhi is by far the best two-way player in the league.

Once you take Curry's 3-point shots away - he's a liability.
He's shot 70% at the rim over the past two seasons. If all his 3's last year were 2's, he would still have averaged 25 points per game.

That's not how this works though. You can't just take someone's abilities away and then judge them after lol. That's like saying Allen Iverson is a liability without his handles, or that Dennis Rodman is a liability without his ability to box out and grab the rebound.

Kawhi is the best two player in the league - true. His ability to play incredible defense is something that Curry cannot do. Curry is by far the best shooter in the history of basketball with a top 2 handle presently and incredible court vision. Those are 3 things Kawhi does not have.

Harden and Westbrook are better rebounders than Curry. However, Curry is far more efficient and a much better shooter. They are averaging more assists because their teams don't move the ball the way GSW does, nor do they have a passer as good as Draymond to take away from their assist totals.

Westbrook and Harden are not "definitely" better than Curry. They all have their strengths and weaknesses, but I'm taking Curry over both. And since he's the two-time MVP and the only unanimous MVP in league history, I would say the onus is on ya'll to show and prove otherwise with actual substance and facts lol.

Steve Nash won two MVPs but was he ever better than Kobe?

I can't imagine thinking Westbrook is better than Curry.

Because folks fall in love with the yelling, the angry personality, the athleticism, and the triple doubles without looking at the whole picture lol.

Efficiency matters. Basketball IQ matters. Playing within an offense and not sabotaging your team on a whim matters.

Westbrook is a great player but nobody ever wants to talk about his flaws because they're so in love with his pros lol.

Steve Nash didn't win the first unanimous MVP in league history on his way to a championship ring and a 73-9 season. Steve Nash didn't have a season that had people wondering if he was offensively better than Michael Jordan.

You know who else didn't?

Russell Westbrook.
