NBA somehow made the All-Star game even less relevent.

Wish Booker would have made it, would have been nice to get an all white Booker Suns jersey.

At least he was able to avoid the Kevin Hart awful joke sequence.

IDK, some of them were pretty funny. Sounded very off the top of the head and not scripted.

This would be the best solution to make the game more competitive imo.

They got the 2 best players. But a lot of injuries. IDK, still go with Lbj.

I also don't think it's fair that curry was a cap, he's not even close to a top 5 player, hell not even top ten, automatically makes the teams unbalanced when kd goes with LeBron.


Curry's not a top 10 player? OK.

He is the MOST important player on the best team. This is the NBA in today's world. His gravity and shooting is so game changing that it creates opportunities for everyone else. They broke the record of most wins in a season before KD arrived, and Klay/Dray are important, but Steph is the key of it all. The Warriors are no where near where they are without him.

LeBron, kd, Leonard, ad, harden, giannis, Westbrook. As an individual talent, id take any of them easily before curry.

That's 7, n then you have Butler, George, - both elite defenders with size, i think they're better, especially Butler. That's 9.

Then there's Lillard, wall, Irving, cousins, all arguable.

N those are just the players with long resumes. There's a host of others that are compiling resumes, who while they may only have a couple big seasons going, could also be arguable in the next year or so.

I think you're getting starry-eyed over gsws SYSTEM, ORGANIZATION n COACHING. They put together such a synergistic team, from the starters to the last guy they play. Hell of a job. Classic whole is greater than sum of it's parts. You put curry on just about any other team that's just average, that isn't built for his strengths, and he wouldn't be seen in the same light. Not even close. He's been very fortunate in that respect.
Very few players in this league are game changers in that sense, n he isn't one of them.

One last thing. I called that Payton would absolutely abuse curry the other night, Before the game. N he wrecked him. No top superstar should get hammered by an also ran pg for a joke of a team. Like I said, a lot of it is about circumstances n opportunity. He's been fortunate.

N these are all opinions of ours. So if you'd take him over my top ten, ah salute.

You are overrating defense and athleticism and vastly underrating efficiency. I could do the same with Nash in his prime. Curry is easily one of the top players in the game, just like Nash was. It's not just about raw talent. Absurd skill level matters,

Na, never underestimate defense. I'd put him top 20 for sure, even top 15, but not top ten. N that's no slight, top 15 is quite good.

N to be honest, he could be borderline top 10, like at 10, maybe. So I guess I could be slighting him a bit haha.
