I think it's time to have this convo, Is Stephen Curry right now good enough to be the best player on a title team?

I honestly think 2 years ago that might be the case but last season we saw declines and this year I don't see that burst and explosion... I know age is real but I also don't see how trades can change the outlook, what do you guys think?

#2 guys on top teams:
Boston - Jaylen Brown
Cavs- Evan Mobley
Thunder-JDub
Grizz-JJJ
Lakers-AD
Knicks-KAT
Just to name a few

Give Steph any of those guys and he’s the number one and the team is top 4 in the West imo

Is Steph still great? Really? One of these days I'll figure out how to load toilet paper into the laser printer so that I can wipe my butt crack with threads like this one.

Curry is surrounded by the worst shooters in the league. Supposedly, Buddy can make 3s but for the past month or so he's been terrible. Who else can shoot? Look at your starters. TJD? Draymond? Schroeder? Wiggins? Also, this team has no size and Kerr makes it so much worse with his 3 and 4 guard lineups.

Curry is playing with trash, man. Put him on an OKC team and watch him magically look like one of the 3 or 4 best players in the league. Suddenly.

What's sad is this FO hasn't even tried to get any real help. They love Podz & JK.

And yes, not to recognize that Curry is still elite is to become a prisoner to the brainwashing of this FO. Be better. And smarter. Just look at tonight's game against the Kings. Curry had 20 and was almost perfect in the lst half. Result? Warriors down 20.

Bro, you need to seek absolution. Go. Climb the mountain at the top of which you will find a shrine to the Baby Faced Assassin. There, and only there, can you acknowledge how you done Steph wrong. :lol:

I created the "He's not" thread so thank you for creating this one.
Watching him early in the season, he looked tired, slower, sloppy with turnovers.....
Apparently, that was almost all psychological AND he now has a legit 2nd star who settles EVERYTHING down.

So, the answer is YES HE IS as long as he has enough help.

I had doubts as well the way he was playing, so you're not the only one. :P

I must say, my post here stands the test of time pretty well. It's one thing for the OP to be this stupid, but apparently, the FO has also been this stupid for several years now.
