Almost as good as G3 2019 NBA Finals

I dont see the 2019 finals on the same high level of basketball as we see in this series though. I think the Raptors took game 3 from the warriors, who were heavily hurt by KDs and Klays injuries.

And how does this make Curry's game in 2019 any worse?

Top 10 all-time. I think he'll end up as the second greatest guard of all-time.

Steph vs Magic might be like the Lebron vs Bird comparison.

If you have him Top-10 alltime then there is a good chance you also have him as the 2nd greatest guard of all-time

Insane performance against the best defense in the league

This guy is something special

I think it'll end like this:

1. Jordan
2. Curry
3. Magic
4. Kobe
5. Oscar
6. West

Incredible performance in the finals.

He's played well in 2 straight finals without KD against incredible defenses now.

But this is definitely his iconic series.

Face of the league.

Not sure what's left to say about Steph at this point. The guy's an all-time great who revolutionized the league and just had perhaps the best playoff series of his career. Not to mention that his teammates love the hell out of him. We're lucky to watch him and I hope he can keep this up for years to come.

Curry in the last 4 years has really addressed his prior shortcomings by bulking up and becoming a significantly better finisher inside and just having more experience with the wide variety of strange defenses that are thrown at him. Now there's really no good strategy for defending him and he's also much less exploitable on the defensive end. While he's clearly not at his peak in terms of numbers that's partly because in 2015/16 people simply didn't know how to defend him. Cleveland started to lay that blueprint in the Finals (blitz the picks, be extremely physical off-ball and hope the refs let it go in the playoffs) and it's taken Curry a couple of years to adjust to counter that strategy. In a vacuum I think Curry now is a significantly more robust player than his MVP years. I'd put this edition of Curry above Magic as the best PG / highest team offensive impact ever and clearly a top 10 player all-time. Too bad for him that he didn't get here until later in his career, but with modern training it seems like primes are lasting longer so maybe he has time to really cement his overall career in the top 10 all-time (not sure he's there yet - but another run like this year and I'd have to put him there personally).
