And it ain't even close. Curry's putting up better numbers (historically good actually) on better efficiencies on a team that looks like its on its way to repeating. Meanwhile prime McGrady never got out of the first round.

And don't start that Curry has help/McGrady did't garbage.

Like I said, it ain't close. :birdman:

Prime t-mac was neck and neck with prime kobe. :myman:

But it ain't close tho. Pure blasphemy.:mjlol:

Why you talking about Handegg in a thread about basketball? Why you coppin pleas bruh, what do Scottie Pippen, Gary Payton and Jason Kidd gotta do with a Tracy McGrady led team losing to the equivalent of the Blazers of their day? You implied that McGrady was losing to HOFers, meanwhile he choked time and time again and lost a series with homecourt to an untested young team, now you trying to say it was cause of Sloan :mjlol: If those Rockets were in the league today, the first round virgin would have dropped the series against the Blazers, it's not like he didn't lose to young ass teams before.

Your other point doesn't even make sense, the Western conference has won the majority of the titles the last 20 years :ld:

@Malta breh don't make me lose faith in you, if I saw the league is basically the Western Conference that should obviously insinuate I am of the opinion the Eastern Conference is a sh*tty JV league, which as a matter of fact it is :heh: You also conveniently forgot to mention that same young Jazz team went to the Western Conference Finals, and lost to the same Spurs that swept Lebron 4-0 :sas2: You still want to argue that Jerry Sloan isn't a top 5 difference making GOAT candidate in terms of NBA coaching:sas1: Don't make me hand you this L travel breh, go on now, grown folks is talkin' :camby:

I don't care if you lose faith in me, or never had any to begin with :birdman: The Heat won 2 of the last 4 titles, so explain how it's a JV league in that case? I didn't forget anything, the Rockets were a veteran team led by T-mac, they lost to a young team that had no playoff experience, yet you're trying to criticize Curry today who is handling his business against a young team.

You can't possibly be serious. In '14 the Heat had to beat the Bobcats and the Nets to make it to the ECF, they had two top 50 players in Wade and Lebron and it still took them 6 games to beat the Pacers, only to get swept by a team Kobe had to beat almost every year to make it to the Finals:laff: Don't get me started on the Heat losing the championship and having the Mavs pop bottles in their own city :laff:

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
I don't think his comments are jealousy fueled tbh
made perfect sense.... what does it say that a prime wilt avg 50 points wasn't unanimous... prime oscar robinson avg trip double... prime shaq... prime jordan... prime lebron.. none of them were unanimous


but now all the sudden you can say "this guy is better than every single other player in the league and there's not even 1 single player we consider is better"


is he the greatest of all time? or does he just have the greatest gap between competition



I drew no conclusions with regard to that.
What is of interest is that the league adopted a game style that has moved further and further from the basket.

That's not to say that players back then couldn't shoot from deep. It's that they simply didn't. And that's why I take issue with this idea that the league is unquestionably better or deeper. More than anything it's simply different. Trolling about how great the 90s were aside.
it really makes no sense how some of these dudes think

like if the same players, were playing today, they somehow wouldn't understand/learn/practice shooting the 3 from a different length and more frequently

larry bird out here shooting 100 3s at every practice, but they move it back 2 feet and say, shoot 5 more a game... and he'd be like "nah fukk that, i quit"

T-Mac played on horrible teams. It was supposed to be him and Hill and Hill couldn't stay healthy. nikkas in here don't post the details, T-Mac had to do everything with a complete nothing squad in Orlando. People who use team accomplishments to judge everything are because they've run out of ideas. Anyone who questions T-Mac's actual basketball abilities is either a hater or didn't see him play in his prime.

T-Mac at one point was as good if not better than a prime Kobe Bryant. In those days the Western Conference was 10 teams deep, there where years where teams went over .500 and still didn't make the playoffs :damn:

So the JV conference has won 50% of the titles in the last 4 years, makes sense :stopitslime:

And the Heat weren't swept in 2014 :wtf:

What does any of this have to do with McGrady losing to a young ass team? :jbhmm:

They were seen as peers for a few years. The board will likely act as if that time didn't exist

It may come off as harsh but he's got a point.
How many other first-ballot Hall of Famers are playing in their primes right now? Bron?
Where are the prime equivalents of Malone, Shaq, DRob, Kobe, Hakeem, Ewing, Duncan, etc?
This is indisputably the weakest point the NBA has been in terms of top players.
This is why nostalgia sucks. You just asked for guys in their primes, yet named players who were in their primes 3 different eras.

Well its like this...if bill Russell, Oscar Robertson, Wilt Chamberlain didn't get unanimous and mj bron and shaq didn't get unanimous...I don't think curry should be either.

Wilt Oscar and bill were denied because of racism...and every black baller had to suffer the same just so them not getting it could seem status quo...or normal. Steph is great, we all agree, and he deserves mvp, but to do this is disrespectful flat out...Tmac is comin from what he knows about the process and the bs over the years....so this happening now has to spell out national stanning. (Or fear because of being seen publicly as a voter)

These writers arent bright...sadly Michael Wilbon who I didn't expect to do this, is amongst them. But hey, it is what it is. Right now we dealing with a lot of fake forced cronyism to blur racial lines...this is an example. :yeshrug:
you sound like the baseball writer voters who wont didnt give Griffey a unanimous vote because Ruth and Cob were not unanimous. Stop being stupid

Name any era that doesn't have at least double the amount of all time greats this era has. We'll be waiting :stopitslime:
