Exactly breh, i mean obv I would like to see a full season before I rank him too but I'm jus saying, I'm no a risk taker. With an injury like that, as good as the other 6 guys are, I'd take them, gun to my head..
Taking his injury into consideration, where do you rank KD?

Him boxing out makes solid NBA centers look like HS walk ons. Dude dominates the paint. Also Doc runs a weird defensive scheme, in the right system I think he'd be even more dominant defensively. He needs a good playmaker to get him the ball but there is plenty of good to great PGs in the league right now. We saw what he did w/o Blake this season (like 20 boards a game!)
Unless this was a contract year performance but I'm hoping he keeps this up and he doesn't seem like the type to slack.

Nah breh I meant Curry or LeBron..
I'm just wondering, cause all I see for the past year is Curry playing better than Bron but ppl still saying Bron is the best. I understand you don't wanna over react but when do we give Curry his credit. If Warriors win the finals and Steph outplays LeBron?

Is he a top 15 player in basketball? No...he doesn't have half a post move...
Is he one of the 15 most important players in basketball? Absolutely...best rim protector in the game...one of the best defenders in the game...his weakside defense is PHENOMENAL...
Without him clips give up 130ppg...
As a Spurs stan I wouldn't sign him to the max...but that would be after hours of debating with R.C. and finally deciding not to do it...
I never understood why people get so wrapped up in who these "best players" are and not who are the most important players...
If I could build a franchise with any player in basketball...I'm debating over Rudy Golbert, Anthony Davis, and Kawhi Leonard...not even thinking about anybody else...
Not even Bron...I don't want to have to shell out all that money to a PR department to keep covering up his PED use...
Don't need Phil Colson on my payroll forever cause he picked up some "vitamins" for lebron in miami...

Good post. I dunno about the LeBron/PED mini rant but everything else is on poin
Oh and also DJ def deserves the Max and will get it. Especially with the cap rising

He is definitely getting a max contract...
But I personally couldn't do it for a guy who has never done a real post move...

Lebron left a championship team that didn't make the playoffs this year...... and went to a 30 win team that's probably going to the finals without one of their better players......
Bron the real MVP..... I aint mad at Steph getting it...... but damn.....
A healthy KD is unguardable.... never seen a game like his for real..... These two players are easily 1A and 1B, depending on health of course

One player just for one season? It's clearly LeBron still. CLEARLY.
I'd take Durant after that but I can't act like his injury potential doesn't scare me, but he's talented enough when healthy (clear number two with a considerable gap) to take the risk.

KD 2014 performance > Currys 2015 (although it's close)
So yes if KD is healthy id take him but the whole point is we don't know
Now Curry has had ankle issues himself but he seems fine and hasn't had any issues recently so right now I'd take him over KD. I'd think twice but I'd take Steph.

So i ask you the same 2 questions. Who's played better over the past year and in particular in the playoffs (since that's when everyone goes all out)?
Steph or Bron?
Question 2, what would it take for you to chose Curry?
#1 Lebron
#2 KD
Playoffs ain't right without the Thunder. I know we woulda got some classic games and highlights from KD and Young Sabo and some fukkery from Adams. Everyone eating so well while KD's hurt.
Enjoy it while yall can.

Curry has had an amazing year but let's take it easy that team is stacked, LeBron will be the best player as long as he's healthy and still in his prime

Well I hate to beat a decomposed horse but:
Redikk, Barnes, Crawford and Rivers over the last 3 games:
14-67(!!!) From 3, i watched the games, they had good looks, they just choked under pressure.. thats 20.9%.. they werent better inside the arc either:
20-56 (35.7%)
Credit the Rockets D, especially Dwight but they had a lot of solid looks that they blew.
Meanwhile:
Ariza, Jones, Smith and Brewer shot 24-50 from 3 (48%, that's Kyle korver numbers but from those 4?)
Plus 39-70 from 2, (55.7%)
I know people say that Paul gets props when Clippers win but doesn't get shyt on when they lose.
Everyone on the clips deserve some of the blame, just like everyone on the Rockets deserves props.
However, there is no doubt in my mind those 8 Players performances is what decided this series.
In fact, when 2 evenly matched talented team match up in a playoff series, it is often the case that the role players and not the stars decide the outcome
The truly great stars WILL show up, the question is are the other guys on their team gonna perform up to standards?
We see this with the Cavs in particular, but to an extent with all 4 conference finalists
