To me they both really earned and fought for 1 ring..

Curry in 2015 (without Durant) and Bron in 2016 (without Wade, Bosh and Ray Allen)

The other rings are cheap

2012 when Bosh injured and had a torn groin that crippled him, missing almost an entire series worth of games, Wade having his knee drained in between playoff game, and Ray not even being on the team?

The NBA doesn't move like that. They could've been suspended him and didn't. But all of sudden lebron complains before the close out game and all of sudden the NBA thinks its the right time to suspend dude. Coincidence huh.. And you can't see how that would shake a teams psyche. Your about to celebrate a championship and the nba does what everyone thought was a suspect decision at the craziest time. And yea their still gonna trying win - but the confidence and swagger was not gonna be the same. And if you say the Warrior's wasn't gonna close them out before the nba got involved - then you just lying. Lebron got that ring bc of help from the league

Except it was an accumulation of points that got him suspended and not any one action.
You’re assuming that Lebron complaining is what caused the suspension instead of assuming that the accumulation of points is what caused the suspension despite the NBA clearly stating one of them.

So a team with 2 top 5 players, another top 15 - and probably 2nd greatest shooter of all time- as your 4th option is not stacked? Did they rely heavily on lebron bc they had too - or bc Lebron influences that way of play? Did Dwayne Wade



Im talking about before Lebron stacked the Cavs. Curry was headed to dominance - before dude created another Super team. Curry was good without recruiting superstars

Ray Allen wasn’t on the team of the first Heat ring, Bosh got a torn groin that severely cripple him and had him missing more than half of two series, Wade was getting his knee drained after games, and you’re saying that 33 year old Shane Battier, 31 year old Udonis Haslem, 29 year old Joel Anthony, and 31 year old Mike Miller is a stacked team? Bosh missed 9 fukking games that playoffs and most of their game 7 slugfest with the Celtics.

Easily Curry :salute:

He never left his team. Went through the hardship of injuries and losing seasons, yet and still built his team up. He's the quintessential franchise player. Not only that, he's changed the NBA game to match him. It's his era while beating LeBron 3-1 to boot.

It's Chef Curry time now :myman:

All of Curry's rings came at the expense of Bron. If you are great enough to get there then you should be able to win, spare me the details:francis:

The fact that curry’s game will age well and can possibly get 2 or 3 more gotta have bron neevous as shyt because its threatening his universal best player status of this era. Jordan has his, Kobe had his and now bron gotta get that 4th before gsw then retire. Win it before them then run retire and take ya ball home like a lil kid

Again, stop being dumb. Draymond wasn't suspended because of that act alone and it wasn't all of a sudden. He got suspended for an ACCUMULATION of techs throughout the post season. Besides, he played on game 6 and 7 and scored 30pts on game 7 and they still lost so fukk yourself

I'm not understanding the Curry choices.

2015 the only ring he was top dog, but it took 6 games against Cavs without Kyrie and Love. They lose the next year when Cavs are at full health.

Imagine the reaction if Bron took 6 games to beat OKC without Westbrook and Harden. Y'all would be CLOWNING. :heh:

Let's put some context. 2015 the Cavs were up 2-1 and then the Dubs proceeded to beat them 3 straight games to secure the chip. 2016 Cavs at full strength was down 3-1 and on the ropes until Draymond got suspended and Harrison Barnes missed every open shot. In conclusion GS has always been superior to the Cavs over the last 4 years.

Why do FMVPs hold so much weight when Rachel Nichols has a vote. It's a media popularity contest and should not be viewed as some defining metric.

FMVPs don't hold that much weight. The award was invalidated when they gave it to someone the caliber of an Iggy. Iggy is a role player that will never lead a team to a championship. The award has been viewed through the lens of Lebron since 2012. :yeshrug:
This is why I have a huge issue with Bron Ball because media members have forgotten how to actually watch and judge the game of basketball. They have all become stat watchers and not game watchers.

When I watch the game, I look for impact and how the defense reacts to certain players and how the player reacts to the increased pressure/scrutiny of the defense. Defensively, I take into account the positions of the players on the court. Do they perform highly or adequately in their role on defense? That shows the true value and ability of said players on the court, not stats.

Curry checks all the boxes and sometimes outpaces his peers by a wide margin.
