Teams win and lose championships, not individual players.

If Curry is the best player on either team but the Cavs still win the Finals, how is that a knock on his legacy? Same goes for LeBron which you could've said in last years finals. It all should depend on how they actually perform

When we look back at Lebron's career we'll see 6 straight NBA finals and his overall stats & realize he's one of the greatest to ever play this game regardless. People have already written off Bron this year anyways.

Unfortunately for Curry there's some really stupid people out there (i.e.: Barkley) and others who feel like they got lucky last year in terms of injuries. Even with 73 wins and a unanimous MVP, Curry needs this chip to validate last years championship in the eyes of many.

Hard choice for me. Curry needs it to cement the season he had and the record his team broke. Bron needs it cause he is in year 13 and eventually someone will take his throne in the East just cause of the fact that he has a lot of miles on him and has played deep in the postseason his whole career basically. Wont happen next year probably but sooner than later Bron is gonna start to feel the little aches and pains that all players who have played as many minutes as he had and he wont be able to hold cats like Wall and George who even in 3 years will both be under 30 and in their primes. So i'll go with Bron cause he doesn't want to wake up in 3 or 4 years with a 2-5 or 2-6 Finals record and wonder what if.

Curry imo.

I think with the way GS was playing everyone sort of wrote LBJ off already.

If Curry loses after winning 73 the amount of hate and mockery that will come his way will be disgusting. :sadcam: A lot of people lowkey hate these dudes but can't say shyt since they're winning so damn much. :snoop:If they lose it will all come spilling out. :damn:

That's crazy I don't think purists hate them how can you if your a real fan of "The Association" I think it's more of a media thing. I'm a Spurs fan but I could never truly hate a great team or player(unless it's against my squad that particular night) Now stans are different

If we're being objective here Curry. Anything short of a ring after 73 wins is considered a massive failure. And to lose to the team that everyone said you wouldn't have been able to beat if they were healthy? Double the ether. To a lot of people, that imaginary "asterisk" becomes justified.

Daped and repped this is it right here nikkas souls would be eternally torched add to the fact all the Bulls talk:mjlol:

y'all tripping. IF curry win this year...dude already on the all time list FOH
How high though:usure:

Bron is top 5-10 all time regardless, he can only add to that at this point

If the Warriors dont at least beat healthy Thunder and healthy Cavs, it confirms that their entire run the last two years has been a fortunate run of good luck and nothing more.

He needs to win one for Cleveland to get into top 5. We can all look at his stats and how many times he has been to finals, but he is going to remembered for more negative moments in his career if he does not win one for Cleveland. Trust me!
