Not sure but probably only 2017 where Curry put together a very strong regular season plus playoffs. There is a strong case to me that healthy Wade between 2006-2010 is just the better player though.

I don't understand the tendency to devalue Curry’s 2015-16 season just because they lost in the finals and he had a subpar PS due to injury. His 2015-16 RS is GOAT-level, and some are putting Wade's 2007-10 seasons ahead of Curry even though Miami and Wade went out in the first round except for 2008, when they didn't make the playoffs at all.

Wade was nowhere near healthy in 2008, and Curry with Jermaine Oneal and Beasley wouldn’t have beaten the Celtics either. Stop these stupid ass arguments already. Most people in here made reasonable claims, and people like you drop in with this bull***t.

Warned.

Curry fans on this board are becoming the new Jordan fans. It’s all about winning and rings with no context for supporting casts at all or actual performance.

It’s getting seriously annoying.

Alrighty then. Thanks so much.

And what about the Hawks and Bulls? I agree 2008 was a baffling mention, as no one has ever suggested that is “peak Wade” or a better year than any of Curry’s prime years, but that is a severe overreaction to the general point that after 2006 Wade was not doing much with his teams, even when he had lesser matchups.

If you're referring to me and my post, since you just went off on me, I don't get this argument you're making here. My argument is that Curry's 2015-16 season should be his best season, or at worst 1b, precisely because of his performance independent of the fact that they didn't win the title that season.

In the current peaks project, Curry's 2016-17 season is listed as 11th, and Wade's 2005-06 season is 18th. In the Curry peak thread, there is discussion about whether his best is 2015-16 or 2016-17, and most people settled on 2016-17, but 2015-16 wasn't far behind.

You can throw "winning and rings with no context" around like a slur, but it's not unreasonable to hold Curry's 2015-16 season in high regard, even above Wade's peak season. If you think Wade is better, fine, but what I'm saying isn't some mindless Curry stan post.

Better season or better player?

Not sure which season Wade was the best version of himself, but I think you can reasonably argue for '06-'11 minus '08. Best season of those is pretty cleanly '06 imo.

Steph you're looking at '15-'22 obviously minus '20. I'm usually pretty harsh on PO injuries, so bit lower on '16 than some and '18 has pretty notably injury issues as well.

For better season I'd go with '15/'17/'19/'22 by a small margin in each. Probably '17>'22>'15>'19 in that order.
