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


Curry has avoided playing fiba basketball almost his whole career, while LBJ was available for most of his prime and helped team USA win gold medals. Curry was definitely better in NCAA basketball than bron. I'll give you that.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

You must be new to RealGM, so I'll educate you. Finals losses are worse than missing the playoffs for legacies.



Also going to the finals and losing is better than going to the finals and winning.....


Got to admit, I have not heard the West > Russell take. Where did you see that one?

Yea it's a pity lebron was only 19 at the time. It was weird that prime Duncan and prime iversen couldn't get the job done.
Out of all NBA players I think only luka could have truly made an impact on that team at age 19. I'll give MJ the benefit of the doubt.

I don't think Steph can catch LeBron without something coming out causing LeBron's legacy to go on a downward spiral. Maybe a Barry Bonds-esque steroid scandal involving LeBron. Even then, I'm not so sure.

. They lost versus Italy in pre season. Sorry but Fiba basket is a different sport. There are true basketball rules. I cannot see Bron travelling on every single possession and believe this is basket
