Now that the media seems to be over the "Steph Curry is the best player in the NBA" hype...

[Regular_P]

Not a fluke, but definitely overrated.

You lead a team to 73 wins, get unanimous mvp and then not even the best player on your own team the very next season?

KD isn't even the best NBA player either

What does that have to do with the last two seasons? Why do you think Durant is having the best season of his career?

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

The only thing Steph does better than LeBron is shooting? So how is Steph the better basketball player?

Lebron handles the ball better than Steph Curry?

Lebron handles the ball better than Steph Curry?

Depends on what you mean by handle. He's definitely a Better PG.

Brons best single season assists and assists/to ratio is higher and better than Stephs

Lebron handles the ball better than Steph Curry?

Handles as in flashy dribbling? Then that goes to Steph... Which is also irrelevant because that is nothing but pleasure for the eye

Probably 08-09

09-10. Before that Kobe. And we could squeeze Wade in for a couple of those early years. 04-05, 05-06, 08-09 Wade was putting up ridiculous regular season and post season numbers. Wade always got lost in the sauce for some reason in those debates. Hell, Wade made the leap in his rookie post season.

I completely agree with this statement. Lebron didn't even separate himself from Carmelo until their fifth or sixth year.

I always said 04-05 he was the best all around player

27/7/7 47% 35% from 3, 2 steals and almost a block.

Just didn't have the team success yet but those are MVP caliber numbers.

U nuts for thinking that shyt.

U really think 05 LBJ was better that '13 Lebron

 

[ManBearPig]

Steph was better the last 2 seasons regardless of what happened in the finals

At no point was Curry better than lebron in 2015.

 

[Biscayne]

I completely agree with this statement. Lebron didn't separate himself from Carmelo until their fifth or sixth year.

Wade made the leap so early in his career. He was in injury away from leading Miami past Detroit and into The Finals in his sophomore season. 04-05 he avg 27pts, 6ast, 5rebs in the post season. In only year two.

na....Lebron was already on another level from Melo by his 3rd year

Melo reg season raw numbers 2005-2006

Does being clutch count for anything?

 

[Versa]

Kevin Durant is the best player this season and was the best player the season he won the MVP.

Curry was the best player last year obviously. Curry's first MVP when KD was injured, I'd say LeBron was the best player.

Every year besides those, he's been the best player since 2009 at least.

DURANT > LEBRON

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

Steph is a better basketball player, Lebron is bigger/stronger. The fact that Steph is 6 inches shorter and 80 pounds lighter and in the conversation says enough.

Give someone 6'9 260 Steph's skill set and they're an all-time great.(not that Lebron isn't)

nikka Shaq is bigger and stronger than Bron
