That debate should not even exist though, Kyrie played better last year, got his ring and that's it. While Curry is a 2 time MVP and we expect more from him than Kyrie

That doesn't really make Curry the better overall player though just more popular.

Curry is arguably the greatest 3 point shooter of all times and a top passer in the league while Kyre can do those things as well and is a better defender.


No he can't.

Kyrie cannot shoot the 3 the way Steph can.

Steph did not get a single open look after Game 2.

And Kyrie isn't the passer that Steph is. Not even close.

The only thing Kyrie can do better than Steph is isolation scoring.


I was saying that he's good at 3's not that he can do them exactly like Curry. However the fact still remains that Kyrie is the better defender which automatically makes him the better overall player. Why? because Basketball aint just about getting Buckets.

6. 2016 Cavs
7. 2009 Lakers
8. 2013 Heat
9. 2012 Heat
10. 2017 Warriors


So quality has a totally different meaning to you? It means your sentimental favorite? That's a new one to me.

Thats a joke. Sorry, Kyrie is a terrible defensive player and Steph is above average.

I don't know where you're getting that from.

None of the advanced stats will back you up on that dumb of a claim.

So basically you have no evidence for your claim and reject all advanced metrics for arbitrary reasons.

Ok bro. Watch the game.

Kyrie is one of the worst defensive players in the league. Steph torched him at the end of Game 5. And unlike Steph he wasn' being doubled.

He believes in reality. You on the other hand must be living in fantasy land. That is one of the worst takes that is factually proven to be wrong.

I'm sure there will be. The Patriots went and the Clemson football team just went yesterday. The Warriors just seem like a very very liberal team, led by a coach who openly shows his hatred for Trump. Also they are in the most liberal area of the US.


None of the 3 contenders would have went (Spurs, cavs, warriors) Lebron is as liberal as it gets and nobody on the cavs would want to go if LeBron didn't go. pop is openly very critical of trump, spurs wouldn't go if pop didn't wanna go.


Agreed. in addition, I doubt its strictly a ideological issue. I don't think they'd have a problem visiting a Bush, Reagan, or any prior Republican/Conservative administration. The issue is with the specific individual currently occupying the White House.

Sure. Not written in stone but in my opinion at that moment that's my top 10 in quality. If you want to quantify which championship was the best I'm sure the 2017 Warriors had the best one. But Dallas had a great struggle to overcome to win their championship and I respect what they had to go through to win it. It had a story about it of a hero overcoming unsurmountable odds. Here it's the hero tying up with a bunch of other hero's to take out lesser foes.

Right. I honestly think they visited Obama because he was such a huge NBA fan, more than his political views.

Do you even understand the words you speak? "If you quantify which championship is the best then the warriors had the best one." What??? Quantitatively, they're all the exact same. They all have 1 championship. That's quantity. Quality means how good. The warriors are technically at the top. Highest margin of victory and best record. Best quality. I don't understand what you're saying.

As a ranking of your personal favorites, I don't think people can argue that list. I can't tell you to like the Celtics title more than Dallas' ha. So long as you realize your list is 100% subjective and specific to you.

That said, the 2013 Heat and 2017 Warriors teams are top 2 in talent out of that list IMO. Celtics third, but maybe swapped with the 2014 Spurs.

Excuse me, but LeBron waited over 7 years for the Cavs to put some quality players around him and all he got was a bunch of scrubs outside of an old declining Ilgauskas. Same for Kevin Garnett in Minnesota and it always mystifies me why KG gets a pass joining 2 other all stars and a fringe all star but LeBron gets hammered for going to Miami which outside of those "big 3" had a paperthin roster.
At least LeBron did not go to a potential title candidate, I wonder how all the LBJ haters would rail on him if he went to the Spurs, Lakers or Boston at the time.


Celtics traded for Garnett though.


And?


KG had a no trade clause I believe, but even though he accepted the trade, Minny at least got some assets in return. KG also didnt collude with other top players to create a championship contending core.
