Which player would you rather have for the playoffs

Starting a team from scratch and fully healthy for this Year

My guess is Giannis wins this 70/30

healthy Steph Curry.

i think more playoff teams would want curry
and a team or two might pass on giannis

Curry for sure


Giannis shooting makes him easy to expose

curry. the attention and spacing he creates is more significant in the grand scheme of a team..

and i would rather have ball in curry's hand with 2mins left in the 4th in a 5 point game (down or up).

Giannis is the league MVP. He's the best 2-way player in the NBA. Probably deserves to win MVP + DPOY.
Steph is amazing, but anyone not choosing Giannis is kidding themselves.

Fully healthy Curry? Yes

Giannis. We saw Curry this year and it wasn't pretty.

"Easy" is not exactly true when it comes to exposing Giannis, but if his teammates ain't making 3s, it becomes a bit harder for him.

This is exactly it. If Giannis has two regulars hitting them at a sub 16% clip while a player on the other team hits a high volume at an 87% clip Giannis is in trouble. Then again pretty much any player in the league is in trouble.

I don't think people properly appreciate the buzz saw that the Bucks saw in games 3-6 last season. It wasn't Kawhi man handled Giannis. It was more Fred Van Vleet crushed, tombstoned and defecated on Bledsoe and Nikola Mirotic's grave. Any one of those three players play more to their career averages and it is a completely different series. Hell that series led to Mirotic looking like he was getting a 3 year/$45 million deal to out of the rotation/league.

Apply the same argument in regard to Harrison Barnes and Curry would have 4 more titles than Giannis as it stands just now.

Double

It's a poorly worded question, anybody that doesn't pick Giannis didn't read it clear enough. Fully healthy and starting this year from scratch? Come on now. I expect this thread to descend further into Raptor and Warrior fans patting themselves on the back because ringz n 3 pointers, hurrrrr exposed.

Steph has gotten severely underrated. Not a shot at Giannis ( cause clearly) we want him. But I think Steph's gonna remind people.

This alone shows stephs underrated. 70-30?

Steph has never been as good as the freak is right now.

Lol. There is nothing easy about stopping Giannis. Comments like this are hilarious.

Until Giannis can prove he can be a winner, taking Steph right now.

When has Curry proven that he is a winner (other than winning against an injured Cleveland team)?
