if curry wins 4th title +FMVP

[KyRo23]

I also love how the title says "+FMVP" meaning they acknowledge that FMVP is important... even when LeBron has 4 of them. So is it important or not to be FMVP?

Such as....??

Unanimous MVP and a team that actually add more titles. Plus 3peat.

Your name is Warriorfan and you don't know that Curry doesn't have a 3peat?

You know LeBron would have had a unanimous MVP if some Knicks media loser didn't vote Melo MVP in 2012 right? All but one

Notice it says chance to add more titles. That is the context of 3peat.

Today is often referred as the 3 ball era. Lebron would not be the face of that.

So an accomplishment that hasn’t actually happened. Okay nice. Lebron has 10 rings nice

i disagree... curry is about to get his 4th title(tieing lebron), has achievements lebron can only dream of having.. and has the most unique skillset the modern nba has ever seen. he literally changed the game, like jordan did.... he is much closer to jordan, than any other ball players. if he has an impressive finals showing and wins.

Under a strict definition of a 3peat winning a championship three straight years Steph hasn't. But he did win three championships on the same run to five straight finals. That 3 championships out of 5 consecutive finals run is arguably more impressive than any other five consecutive years.

[WarriorGM]

And I completely disagree with that. Instead of some lazy East VS West argument why don't you point to a run of Currys that was significantly tougher than any of Lebrons?

How is that even a question? Can you make an earnest argument that any of LeBron’s ECF opponents were more difficult than the majority of the second or first round opponents that Steph played? I think there’s an argument to be made that the late-era Grit and Grind Grizzlies were more difficult opponents than any team LeBron played.

I think there's an argument to be made that every team Lebron played in the ECF and a fee 2nd round matchups are as least as good if not better then the Grit and Grind Grizzlies the warriors faced. Warriors played them one time at the end of their peak, Conley missed the first game and Allen missed several.

What other difficult matchups did Curry have in the first 2 rounds? A 53 win Houston team that Warriors still beat with a mediocre series from Curry?

the only truly elite teams Currys beat in the ECF were 2016 Thunder (The year Lebron went on to beat Curry) and 2018 Rockets (where Cp3 went down and Warriors still had a significant talent advantage prior to that)

Any ECF opponent LeBron faced? I guess that includes those 2015 Hawks that the Cavaliers swept with Kyrie and Love barely showing their faces? If that's the case I don't want to hear anything about Kyrie and Love missing in the 2015 finals.

LeBron won 3 rings in 5 years. 12, 13 and 16. Made finals in all those 5 years.

Yes but he jumped ship and changed horses. What supposedly makes a 3 peat particularly impressive is the difficulty and drain associated with consecutive deep runs. Take into account also the regular season performances and the Warriors being in the tougher conference and I don't think LeBron's matches.

Although, most of the Heat fans in general do like Lebron, there seem to be decent number of Heat fans on realgm who dislike Lebron..wonder why?

LeBron beat far better teams in more dramatic fashion, and Curry wasn’t FMVP for any of those. I can’t believe you’re even trying to argue this.

[SecondTake]

he will surpass lebron in both legacy and brand, imo. Curry has dominated the modern era of basketball with one team, didnt hop around from team to team like a chicken and was the reason golden state became a juggernaut...2x uninaminous mvp and broke rays record. If it was lebron on golden state when they struggled for 2 years, lebron would have "took his talents elsewhere ect.." by now... only knock left on curry is that he doesnt have an FMVP yet... he has a magic johnson MVP wcf award but he needs the finals FMVP too...

Yeah, he won't. It's not possible. There is nothing Curry can do anymore to surpass LeBron in legacy or brand. There is literally nothing Curry can do that will make people think that he's better at basketball than LeBron James.

i disagree... curry is about to get his 4th title(tieing lebron), has achievements lebron can only dream of having.. and has the most unique skillset the modern nba has ever seen. he literally changed the game, like jordan did.... he is much closer to jordan, than any other ball players. if he has an impressive finals showing and wins.

Fmvp is the most important award in basketball. It's the main reason MJ is considered the GOAT. Curry would need more titles and at least 3 fmvp to pass LeBron

I'd like to see the list of these supposedly far better teams. What does dramatic fashion have to do with anything? What that tells me is he couldn't put away games faster. What I cannot believe is the way people buy what the media has to say despite the evidence in front of everyone's faces. Those same media voices behind the FMVP selling such narratives as Lillard is better than Steph, LeBron and Davis are the two best players in the league, and the Warriors are done. You believe that hokum? I guess you do because you put any value in an FMVP. In comparison I put value in records and what records indicate is that Curry is arguably the best in history so thinking the Warriors were anywhere close to done was foolish—and guess what? here they are again in the finals.

Good argument for top 10.

Some of the Curry stans arguing for him over LeBron are embarrassing. Get a grip.

[damanick10]

This is where people put too much into championships sometimes. Nobody can say that Steph has or ever will be better than Lebron, but that's ok. Steph is the greatest shooter ever and helped pioneer a dynasty. Lets be real tho, the Stability that Steph has had with the Warriors far outweighs what Lebron has had minus the heat days.

It is true there are people being embarrassed but it ain't the ones that have been arguing for Curry.

You're one of the worst Curry stans on this website.

So you embarrass yourself plenty enough.

I agree with the rest of your post, but LeBron doesn't create stability himself.

I'm also one of the people who said the Warriors would go farther than the Lakers at the start of this season. I guess you think that's an embarrassing take too.

its a legit argument tho. lebron did not dominate this era because of the rise of steph curry....n now if curry ties him n gets a fmvp, its a wrap.
