Who the **** is Rob Parker? A random RGM poser has more credibility.

I don’t know Rob Parker and didn’t watch the video but if all he said was that the Warriors won those two championships because of Durant then where did he go wrong? Is there something else he said in the video that was a false statement?

Rob Parker is a bigger troll than Skip Bayless. He just doesn't have the charisma to pull it off.

No clue who this is, but when you make Chris Broussard look like the smartest guy in the room, it's time to reevaluate some things.

Curry DID change the game with players now throwing up 3 early in the clock, half court shorts, and bigger emphasis on the three in general.

But I agree that curry wouldn’t have won those two extra championships without Durant. Also players like Lebron, Harden, Giannis, Lillard etc are able to carry a much bigger load and take talent depleted teams to the playoffs. Relying on Curry will get you to the lottery


let me know when any one of those players win 73games in a season or consistently carry their team deep in the playoffs (minus lebron). harden, giannis and lillard are all big playoffs chokers who have never even sniffed a deep playoff run. cant believe you even put harden and lillard in there who have been beaten by stephs team every single time with or without KD. only big load i see here is a big load of BS.

did you forget to put <|s> in your post??

He is right. OKC most likely would have made to NBA finals over Warriors and LeBron would have embarrassed Curry in the finals if he did.

He has done nothing without top tier talent. And when he has it other people in his own team have outplayed him on the highest stage. This year going to fight for the playoff spot without top 5 supporting cast.

Parker doesn't even say these things to be intentionally controversial, he's really just that dumb

Sometimes I wonder if it is people’s own insecurities that cause them to hate Steph. Stans globe on to athletes who are the biggest and baddest dudes on the planet. Then you have Steph who has done more with less physical gifts than probably any player in NBA history. He could walk down the street with a hat and sunglasses on and nobody would say, “that guy looks like a basketball player “. Is he the best player ever? No, but to say he isn’t great or transcendent is dumb.

I watched part of the YouTube and will promptly forget all Parker's except Anthony Parker. I will remember Curry.

Has he always sounded like that? He sounds like he's trying his hardest to be Stephen A. Smith.

IMO Steph is definitely not "average joe" looking in person even in street clothes like say John Stockton, Chris Paul, or Steve Nash. He's definitely looks taller and more fit than majority of people

I get what you're saying though.

lol, he led a **** Mark Jackson team to 51 wins on own, and took what was super team lob city to 7 games in the playoffs, also on his own. a lot of revisionist history going in your posts in the Curry threads, I'm noticing.
