Does this same logic apply for Lebron or anyone else who has won MVP in this decade? Or is it just because it's curry now?
yes and no. the reason it somewhat applies to bron and yall heard me say this. He came in(no fault of his own, same with steph). when the ballers super alpha dogs were on their last leg. the moment bron started becoming super bron and stop carrying about what we thought and started taking the wide open jumper, started posting up. this bron didnt really have much comp at the top. kobe was old and hurt, kg old, duncan, old. KD is younger than him and it shows. westbrook is younger and it shows. young in nba years. harden is coming along but we know harden aint no real deal. he's a guy who found the glitch in the game and expoited it. but thats not enough to be one of those legendary players. not in my opinion. so yeah it applies to bron too. the difference is this. lebron never won the mvp trophy in a unanimous decision(thats why they said "for the first time ever." when they gave it to steph this season.)

to win it like that for the first time ever and you look at the list of guys he's up against in this new era league. you realize well he would've won and should've won. but unanimous doesnt really have the same effect when you look at who he was going up against. thats all i'm saying. like they really should've left that part out. because it doesnt really mean much because his comp was all that this season. lets just be real.

or put it this way. Curry for the most part only plays offense. he has average defense at best. (aint as bad as harden of course. lol.) so he can virtually play one side of the ball. and win a unanimous mvp vote. thats unheard of. bron, kobe, jordan, etc. all played both sides of the ball. i mention those guys and not nash for a reason. nash didnt either. which is why its a travesty that nash has 1 more mvp than kobe. it shows you what the voting is all about. they like guys who pass the ball a lot. the only exception was jordan because similar to curry now. during his prime run. he had legends out there. but no one at his position to slow him down. so watching him was like watching an anomaly. vs watching say kobe when you had a tmac, a vince, a ray allen, etc, etc. we had other ballers that were 6'5 to 6'9. like legendary ballers. prime tmac is a legend, prime vince is a legend, prime ray allen is a legend. shoot little ai was killing it too. so kobe had to give you the ridiculous stuff every single night, year in and year out until you realized "wait a second. this nucca kobe is better than all those dudes. wow.." vs watching jordan and immediately realizing this guy is the best sg period. again this aint the usual curry hate. this is just the media hate pretty much for over doing stuff. he won 2 mvps. which unlike nash. he deserved.

Dem hexagons in the paint look mighty big to me breh :francis: Keep it 100 @Malta, has Steph Curry faced anything resembling what Iverson faced in the paint on a nightly basis? MJ? Isaiah? Bird?
no. the game is different now.

AI, bird, MJ, kobe, etc. these guy were not getting screens like that back then. so if they were to score. they were scoring by abusing their man without the screens. without any assistance. most of their points came from them destroying someone. and a few fast break points here and there.

this is why as much as i love to watch the chef cook em. i probably will never call him a better player than jordan, kobe, bird, and some of those guys. it was more difficult for them to score back then due to the rules, to the comp, and just how teams played. now of course those guys should've had more screens set for them and ran them off of more picks to get open. it was dumb not to in hindsight. thats why curry smiles so much. because its actually easy for him now. yes he worked his tail off to get to this point. especially with the shaky ankles(i'm proud of the bruh and the medical staff for pulling off that miracle). but he knows its a lot easier to score than it would be if his team wasnt setting constant screens. if the rules were different where guys ride him all game long and handcheck him, grab him all game long for little to no foul calls along the perimeter. and i'm not saying he couldnt overcome that too. i'm saying i havent seen him overcome that because thats not how the game is played/officiated anymore. so we never will.

You made some good points but you trying too hard. History is made to be broken.. I think people have a hard time accepting it because curry is not the prototype bball player and the fact that he's paving his own way and doing it in a way we've never seen before.. People(Bron stans)can't seem to wrap their head around it.

Bron Stan's right now:francis:

He missed it by 1 vote to be the first unanimous vote getter in I think 2013 some nikka who worked in the media voted Carmelo fukking Anthony brehs
:laff:


That shyt was fukking ridiculous. I remember that year.

And the Cac had bullshyt reasoning too:martin:


But anyways, shoutout to Curry, he definitely deserves it. Dude shoots at God levels of accuracy and he's lowly the most exciting player in the game. Just a deadly deadly assassin of a shooter:wow:

not really no way in the world they win even 65 plus without draymond. he IS that team. He should have gotten a mvp vote too. nba is lame asl with all of the bs they are forcing us.

Two teams have won 70 games in league history u stupid rat
And ur sitting here saying kyrie, lillard = curry in terms of winning on this team. After one of the most efficient and record setting seasons ever by a player. You are DUMB. No offense, you are just fukkin stupid.

naw that aint it. zero hate for curry. but i know what i'm seeing. just like i was one of the few who knew he was going to be a legend in the nba(assuming health) during his college days. due to his footwork. he has a video where he speaks on why he can shoot so quickly. his dad taught him "do your work early." its positioning of your feet to get balance, squaring your shoulders. i saw this in him in college. when other dudes were just balling off of pure athleticism or a dead eye aim they got from birth. nope this guys footwork looked like a mini kobe. i knew what i was looking at. half of yall new found warrior fans didnt even believe in the chef like i did. so understand i know the guys game in and out. and i'm telling you. what you are seeing is incredible. BUT puttting things in perspective its not so out of this world like the media is trying to make it seem. especially after i've witnessed magic, bird, jordan, kobe, hakeem, we're talking highly skilled guys vs whole defenses that just try to stop them. with no rules to help them early on. guys just riding them all ...game...long. hack hack and more hack. ref turning the other way until they retaliate and then hit them with the whistle. like "ref, you aint calling that or what?" i dont know what curry would do in that scenario. i dont know if he woudl be just as chef-ish or just a good player. i have no idea. i do know if he didnt received constant screens he would not be nearly as effective at the nba level. but again. aint his fault. thats the new era game. they figured it out. why try to beat an entire team off the dribble when you can get screens set. again truth is what jordan, kobe was doing was stupid when you really think about it. well not stupid. just less smart, not as efficient as what the warriors/curry and some other teams are starting to do now.

a great player meets the most efficient offense = "oh my gosh i've never seen this before".

what happens if jordan is placed on golden state with this same efficiency? his fg% woudl've been even more unreal.


what happens if kobe played for gstate.

all in this era.
