Steph Curry playoff record vs other stars. 17-11 vs Lebron

[Don Homer]

I don't care about Steph. Ya'll just love abandoning context to push a narrative. Steph only beat Bron when the scales were massively tipped in his favor to the point where he wasn't even the best player on his own team

And that's laughable, Dray is the best defensive player of this generation and Klay is arguably the second best shooter of all time. Klay and Draymond went 9-3 in playoff games without Steph

But Steph beat Bron huh

Kevin Love was an all-star that year. Be mad at ABC for excluding him in the graphic

But in context no one is arguing that Nash is the best player of his generation. Why can’t threads ever stay on topic on the coli ?

Curry actually has an argument for being the best of his era because of his success in the finals . Nash never won any ringsz What’s Nash’s record against Kobe and Duncan in the WCF ?

So Kobe was getting sonned head-to-head by a player that wasn't even in consideration for best player of a generation?

Bron lost to Curry with KD while Kobe was struggling to beat a ringless Nash

I agree. I said it years back, it's the same shyt ('11-14 Heatles & '17-19 Warriors) so keep the same energy.

Was it "fair" to Durant, Russ, and Harden that they had to face a constructed super team in 2012? That title would've changed how all 3 of them are perceived, especially the latter two. Is it fair to Duncan, who would likely have 1 more finals MVP (2013) and 6 rings total to push him in top 4 GOAT conversations? And if ppl say it's not a sure thing they would've won... well it's not a sure thing the '17 or '18 Cavs would won since the '17 Spurs and '18 Rockets were better in those seasons anyway.

So yea, naturally i got no love for GSW during that era but you can’t hold super teams against Curry's legacy in service of propping up hypotheticals for LeBron, when LeBron's legacy benefited from the same shyt at the expense of others.

The Warriors were already one of the best teams in the league with four future HOFers, the best regular season of all-time, and a championship ring before they added Durant. You can't compare that to Lebron languishing on the Cavs with Boobie Gibson and Mo Williams going up against the big 3 Celtics.

The Thunder, while young, were still a team comprised of three all-star level players. Harden was 6 MOTY, Russ averaged 24 that season, and KD was the MVP runner-up. The Spurs were a dynasty that consisted of three HOFers and a young future HOFER in Kawhi. Those matchups against the Heat weren't some David vs. Goliath shyt. They were relatively evenly matched up, especially considering the health issues the Heat had.

The Warriors were the best regular season team in league history able to add a former MVP due to an unprecedented cap spike. You can't really compare it to any other situation. And even so, nobody is devaluing their rings but they deserve context when you compare Curry and Bron's head to head records. Just like you would provide context for Jordan being winless against Bird and having a losing record to Isaiah.

So it’s ok for LeBron to build teams and abuse parity to beat the Celtics but it’s not ok for Curry to have Durant?

Nah it’s fine you just cant call it the curry era when one of his teammates has more finals mvps than him lol

Make the thread if that’s what you’re trying to argue that Nash ranks higher all time than Kobe

But this thread is about Curry possibly being the best player of his generation

nikkas doing whataboutism for Kobe in a steph thread

 

[Don Homer]

It matters because Lebron didn't even have an all-star next to him in some of those matchups while Curry was playing with four other HOFers

But to answer your question, Lebron's been to the finals without any of those teammates.

MJ, Kobe, and Tim could hardly win playoff games let alone rounds without their HOF teammates

so what? I've seen Bron get smoked by teams with 1 all star while he has 3

 

[MoshpitMazi]

Curry is THE GREATEST PG OF ALL TIME




And the creator of the 3point era
He has so many mini mes shyt is disgusting

It’s strange because nobody calls Nash the best player or even best point guard of his generation. So idk how Kobe is relevant to this convo

never underestimate a Kobe Stans' ability to make it about Kobe

In terms of his style of play I would agree but everything else is highly debatable. No way yall would call it the lebron era if he had teammates win fmvps over him

And THATS why he tanked the 2011 finals.

We wouldn't even be have this discussion if Bron did his job and Wade won FMVP

 

[RedBull]

LeBron got wade & bosh just to beat the washed Celtics

Then when golden state did what LeBron does “it’s unfair”

Truth. No one admits it.
