cats got love for chef don't get it fukked up
the pushback comes with the way stat whores nerds and talking heads throw his name up with the gods
everyone knows he's got a cheat code of a skill in his shooting
but he's not in that class of one man army types the team elevates him not the reverse

Be considered dominant while not being athletic at all and getting sonned 2 years in a row on the biggest stage brehs
Steph Curry is NOT DOMINANT. He has a certain aspect of his game the can be dominant but he can be neutralized.
You can't be a dominant player in my opinion and not have a physical component to your game
what 2 years are these
Don't win finals MVP and be called "dominant" brehs
What holds more weight, the RAW numbers I gave you or you insisting he got exposed/locked up even though the NUMBERS disagree
Who gives a fukk about who 10 old cacs voted as MVP? Iggy made key plays but him winning MVP for holding Brawn to 35/13/9 is just as big a joke as Delly "locking up" Steph.

@Gil Scott-Heroin on your period again today breh? hope it clears up by thursday so you can enjoy the game...
More proof that we need to get rid of the box score. I still don't quite understand how NBA players (past and present) can't identify impact.
The numbers you gave aren't "dominant"
Good but not dominant, which is what this thread is about
Why is this fukkin piece a shyt Gil Scott Heroin begging when I have his ass on ignore?
Never said they were, they were a response to the stupid
point about Steph being exposed & locked up by Delly.You think Curry's "dominance" only exists through surface numbers?

In the early games int he series, Golden State went on some badddd scoring droughts (thanks in part to Dellevadova locking up Steph). Cavs would be say within 5 but then Iggy (and mo speights) would come down and hit a three and get momentum back on offense. Iggys FMVP was a very non flashy one, it was pure grunt work that paid huge dividends.
Players who don't think Curry is dominant domt understand basic defensive schemes and principles. It's that simple.
Curry is like a +10 stat boost for every other player on the court. He's a perfect example of how playmaking isn't just passing (Even though he's a very talented passer with great creativity and vision). His use of misdirection, his offensive gravity, and his basketball IQ is probably top 3 in the game.

Can we stop saying this nonsense? Delly was NOT locking up Steph -
Curry had ONE bad shooting performance in the '15 Finals, which was mostly down to him missing easy looks and/or on other defenders. The Cavs centered their entire defense around stopping him and getting the ball out of his hands - it wasn't just Delly - they had 2-3 players in his vicinity regularly all throughout the series. Which is why his teammates were getting so many open looks. Once they started hitting them at a respectable rate, the series quickly came to an end. Same shyt happened in the Finals last season; force the ball out of Curry's hands and force his teammates to shoot.
The fact he receives (well, received since Durant is now on the team) more defensive attention than any player in the game, and more than arguably any player in the modern era, and yet still has all-time great BS #s should tell you all you need to know. He's one of, if not the most dominant offensive force this game has ever seen.
Only players more impactful than Curry are Lebron and Durant.
Lebron is the best playmaker, most experienced leader, has the highest basketball IQ, and physical gifts.
Durant is the most talented and best scorer, a great playmaker (Not Curry or Durant's level though), a legit defensive anchor, and absolutely unguardable.
Curry is a scheme breaker. The fact that you have to consistently pick him up 35 feet out already screws up how most defenses get set up. He's not quite the natural scorer Durant is but he's smarter, better at being a decoy, a more talented passer, and he's a better leader. He's not quite the playmaker Lebron is but he's a much better shooter and much better off the Ball. His weakest aspect is that he's only a good defender but he's never gonna be a game changer like the other two.
They all got advantages but I'd say Curry is probably a tad more impactful than Durant on offense (Despite being less talentedX obviously) but much less on defense.
