Everyone is playing against bad teams. Luka played against the worst possible team two game in a row

They mentioned 4-5 names, and Steph Curry’s never came up once in the podcast. What generational player is less respected than him? Giving D Book 1st Team over Curry last year was a joke as well.
Literally record breaking start (better than his 2016 unanimous MVP stat line, which was unarguable due to the record breaking wins), and he’s not a *mention*. It’s wild how clueless people who do this for a living can be.

That whole network just doesn’t like curry even if they say they do.

I think Lebron may have something to say about that ..

Past 10 years? Good luck with that argument.

According to your logic, Tim Duncan doesn't deserve any respect.

Curry wasn't all that in the regular season. I don't think he deserved first team all NBA and I'm a Steph fan. Once the 3 point record was within reach he started pressing and his efficiency took a hit like we never seen before from Steph. Then once the playoff came around he went nuclear but that shouldn't factor in
With that being said, what he's doing right now at 34 years of age is super impressive and he should be in the MVP discussion despite the Warriors 8-9 record. He's playing as good as he's ever played, especially distributing the basketball

I mean Booker was 1st Team and Curry had the relative same counting stats with a better advanced line across the board, with it not being close in the PM on/off stats. It wasn’t his best season (despite being the near unanimous MVP through the first two official “straw polls” of actual ballot voters), but he was inarguably the better player and should have been 1st Team.
That’s in the past, but hearing that podcast of 4 diffeeent “NBA experts” not utter his name once when counting down the best players of the season this year was glaring. A guy like Kobe never played close to this great at his absolute peak, and we never would have heard the end of it had he.
