This is OBVIOUSLY Steph's era- not Lebron's.

[dcstanley]

I remember Love and company bailing LeBron out in the couple of minutes he stepped off the court in the 2018 Pacers series.

Can you elaborate on this? Bron averaged 34/10/8 and dominated that series with a game winner as well. Not sure if Steph even has 1 of those in the playoffs in his whole career.

LeBron's numbers from heliocentric basketball don't impress me that much. Might as well say Westbrook was the best player in 2017.

On-ball Steph just averaged more shots in this series than Lebron did in any of his 2018 playoff series and Steph folded like a cheap suit. Got outplayed by a 40 year old who needs his foot surgically repaired.

This loss has hit some harder than others

It's to be expected when you support an overrated fraud that can't outplay a 38 year old man with a bum foot

Watching Steph try and fail miserably at his LeBron ball impression brings to mind the famous Ronnie Coleman quote "everybody wanna be a bodybuilder but nobody wanna lift no heavy ass weights"

You know someone is lost when they post an article trying to say LeBron's teammates "bailed him out" by being +6 for a 5 minute stretch in one game of a 7 game series, but conveniently forgets this little part of said article:

Game 7 proved a timely exception. No single player in the lineup for Cleveland had played a dependable series. Kevin Love shot terribly throughout. George Hill was making his return to action after a back injury. Larry Nance Jr. and Jordan Clarkson had played inconsistently, at best. Jeff Green was Jeff Green.

A blind squirrel finds a nut and you suddenly think he regained his vision.

This discussion can only be had by someone who didnt watch LeBron in 2018 playoffs. That was the best he ever played, and the greatest carry Ive ever seen on playoffs, culminating on that 50 pt performance in 1st game of finals. If you watched the games, it was astounding, really. Discussing it is a big waste of time.

Warriors fans salty.

[Kingdibs19]

What makes you think I have reason to be a Warriors fan? I am actually coming from a neutral point of view. I arrived at my conclusions based on objective evidence.

From what I can tell all the talk out there about LeBron being a top 3 player all-time is rather baseless.

Guy named 'WarriorGM' is riding HARD for Steph and trying to diminish Lebron at every turn. I wonder why anyone would think he's a Warriors fan. Hmmm....

He's one of the worst posters on GSW forum as well, don't mind him. Steph stan, the worst kind

Lol Warriors fans don’t even claim this guy. Just a delusional Steph Stan on an island.

Apparently you don't appreciate how a pace of 98 in the recent series compared to a pace of 90 in the 2018 series affects number of possessions and shot attempts. On the other hand usage% shows Steph at 31.6% while LeBron was at 34-38% before the finals where his usage presumably fell down to Steph's level because of the injury he was showing off with the cast he was wearing.

Since you bring up shot attempts though I do find it interesting how Steph with 139 field goal attempts in this series had only 17 free throw attempts while LeBron in the 2018 Pacers series for example with 150 field goal attempts had 77 free throw attempts.

Bron at that age was always going to get more free throws than Steph. He's built like a tank, would bully you around the basket and attack with ferocious straight line drives... Curry's always been all finesse no power.

[Heej]

People are really comparing Steph's inefficient chucking, bad decision making, defensive liability series to 2018 LeBron just because he did a s***ty "LeBron-ball" impression? Warriors fans down tremendously bad RN. Shout out Lonnie Walker saving basketball discourse for a generation. Imagine how insufferable these idiots would be if Steph actually outplayed LeBron and won this series . But hey at least they're not a bunch of frontrunners like their GOAT

Bron getting more free throws is understandable. Getting 4x more free throws is harder to comprehend.

[NbaAllDay]

Hard to comprehend sums up most of your ability to think critically if we are being honest.

Is it? Curry actively looks to avoid contact, LeBron seeks it.

[danfantastk32]

Curry is probably the biggest reason why Lebron won’t ever be considered the GOAT

You don't think Durant played a role in that? If you threw Curry on Cavs and Lebron on GS....do the Cavs win a game?

Sorry, but I look at Steph sort of like a light-saber, or some Hanzo sword: The perfect weapon, when paired with a well trained, powerful, disciplined samurai / jedi. The amount of work the rest of the team does setting picks, cutting lanes, etc is impressive. Curry also benefits from the complete swiss army knife that is Draymond. Having another top-5 outside shooter on the floor at the same time certainly helps. And the rest of the squad? That was a really deep team. And then they still needed to add Durant to "dominate" Lebron.

Best shooter ever. No doubt. He's a precise lethal weapon. The best and the sharpest. But you stick him in the hands of some mediocre team, and its a waste. Lebron is that Samurai. No fine edged killing weapon.....but everything else. He's the boxer with all the heart, the fight, the strength, the quickness. Curry is his vicious uppercut. Absolutely lethal, but empty in the arms of your average man.

Would have been cool to see them paired up. I think both are amazing, and don't understand people who can't appreciate both.

absolutely in shambles, some of these posts are embarrassing really. curry has never outplayed lebron in the playoffs, not even hobbled lebron in year 20.

[Zvaart]

Curry stans, bron fans, bron haters, steph haters, you are all equally insufferable.

A nd look at you, you are all here.


So many dumb takes in this thread from all sides, geez
