I don't think Curry is interested in chasing West (9), Baylor (8), or LeBron (6) for most lost Finals, but you do you champ.

Against Curry's 73 win Warriors. End of thread. There is nothing Curry can do to be ranked higher than Bron.

im shocked you just see size diff. curry is pretty much kyle korver on steroids one trick pony. theres a huge fundamental difference lebron will never have 10pt games on 20% shooting and he also shoots a lot of 3s. no one is taking a midget pg who plays only one side of floor over a giannis with a 3.

All I'll say is Steph is a great player but a humbling of the Golden State organization, team, and their fans would be great for the sport. The 1st one didn't seem to do it.

That's a shockingly bad take. Trolling is an art, you're supposed to be subtle. :P

Pretty much this. Curry is elite in a couple of areas but LeBron excels in more facets of the game. I remember some of those Cavs teams where he was practically doing everything on those teams.

Basket or nba basket?
Basket wise is Curry, nba basket Lebron.
Travels and offensive fouls are so evident it’s not even funny, but nba was note pure basket.
Look at Fiba. Kd and Melo are better than Lebron. It’s not an opinion, but a fact

Play 10 more seasons at more or less prime levels.

Which is to say, it isn't **** happening

All of the examples culminate to 4 FMVPs against 0 FMVPs.

Thanks for the specific examples. Appreciate it. :nod:

Yeah I mean obviously. There's nothing in basketball that matters besides height and weight.

there is a reason why your top10 top20 is loaded with bigs or biggers and not guards. any reason you want but QED...it is there before you.

the javale mcgee/isiah thomas sarcasm is a menial, pointless, and dumb comparison. the uphill climb for curry is REAL like it or not, and that is the topic is it not. people are debating if curry should be a top10'er while already viewing james as a possible goat

so put your money on curry if you like. i think he has a better chance to not get into the top10 much less pass lebron. geez, i dont even know why i'm standing up for lebron,,,i'm not even a fan. curry - 13pts total in the 2,3, and 4 quarter tonight. the physical nature of his body alone.....his own body will stop him from overtaking lebron
