McGrady on Curry unanimous MVP "It just tells you how watered down our league is"

How stupid are you that you still don't get the point? Obviously the athunder are from this era dumbass. The point is that they've been so successful handling because they've been so physical on defense. They're physicality on defense has thrown Steph and the Warriors completely off of their game. That's the exact argument that people you're calling "old heads" have been saying the whole season. The style of defense that the Thunder have played in this series wasn't allowed or employed during the regular season and that's the difference. This kind of defense was routine in the 90s now it's a rarity. Wen people pointed out that it would be different for GS if they had to deal with the physicality of previous eras they were dismissed and insulted. Now you're all seeing how valid the point is.whats the point of these threads getting upped today?!!yesterday's loss didn't prove any of the bullshyt T-Mac, Oscar, Oakley or any of ya NINETIEsexuals said
Curry and the Warriors lost to the THUNDER. Westbrook, Durant and the rest of OKC are from the same ERA as Curry. If you trying to shyt on Curry with, you have to give credit to Westbrook who is, again, from the same era. In fact, this loss means the NBA is so competitive now that the 4th seed can beat the team that broke the wining record.
What does T-Mac know about conference finals anyway?

Superstar
did you actually watch the video before you called me stupid?
T-Mac said:
“For (Curry) to be the first player to get (MVP) unanimously, I think it just shows you how watered down our league is. Seriously, because if you think about when M.J. played, Shaq, I mean, those guys really played against top-notch competition. More superstars I think on more teams than it is in our league today, but it’s well deserved, I mean, because he had a hell of a season.”
when did he say anything about physical defense?
(Curry is more of a shooter than slasher so I don't know how physical you can get with him ). Mcgrady was talking about the lack of superstars and weak competitions in this era which made it easy for Curry to win mvp unanimosouly. If the Warriors swept their way to the championship and Curry destoryed every player he faced, it would've proved T-Mac's point. But The fact that the Warriors are down 1-3 in the conference finals and Westbrook outplaying Curry (and Llilard and Harden held their own before him) says otherwise. Westbrook had 2 historical seasons himself but he still couldn't win the MVP award because Curry was that good.
you get it now?
Did you read your own post stupid?
^^^This is what I was responding to and you're clearly not just talking about this T-Mac video. I'm telling you why the threads are being upped and why this series with OKC does prove that men like Oscar, Pippen, Oakley, Hubie, Jamal Crawford, Barkley, Nique, Harper, and all the other ex players/coaches who've echoed the "the current game is soft and easier for perimeter players" sentiments have a legit point. You only dismiss it as "bullshyt" because you're the one wth the agenda. It's funny how you modern day basketball cocksuckers like to try and flip that. You people are the one's with the agenda but you try and flip it on those who don't go along with it. We're just laughing that right now it's blowing up in your face. All that "GS is an all time great team Steph is the best" talk was premature and lacking context. "Old heads" tried to put all that shyt in its proper context and clowns like you have dismissed them just like you've done in the posts above.whats the point of these threads getting upped today?!!
Exactly!
Not criticizing the league but these losers talking about zone defense making the league harder.

so you're arguing that only being allowed to double someone who has the ball makes it harder on stars? yeah the 2011 finals would have been so much harder for Miami if dallas was required by the rules to have a man tightly guarding mike bibby and joel Anthony at all times as opposed to shading over to guard LeBron or wade. yeah it's so much harder to score if defenders aren't allowed to come across the lane to double someone. #WPOY2016

lebron lost that series more so than this dallas "zone" that clamped him.
Dallas hasn't even won a playoff series since then with that zone.

he didn't take over because they were doubling him every possession regardless if he had the ball or not. that's a key part of zone defense, and are you gonna seriously act like dallas has put together a roster that can actually compete in the playoffs since then? you really don't know much about basketball do you?

better drafting and free agent signings, plain and simple. contracting the 76ers after the abomination they've put on the court the last few years would be nice compensation for all the fans too, including the ones in philly
Not what I said.
Save that WPOY2016 award for that fuccboi who said Draymond was better than Rodman and could guard Kareem

you said zones don't make it harder. clearly there is countless video evidence that shows otherwise over the course of the last 15 years, and if you think a player who makes a huge impact on both ends of the floor is worse than one who is only useful on one end, then there's no point in continuing to try to talk any sense into you. stay living in your precious 90's with your floppy discs and vcr'sNot what I said.

The only impact that Draymond is making on either side of the court right now is a negative one. He's looking like he's a system player at this point. Rodman proves that he was a winner that could produce in multiple systems. To say that Draymond is better than he was is clearly premature.This is what happens when you jump out of the window to rush to crown/judge people.
