Lmao this is one way to put it... :lol:

I'm really just confused here. Who did Kawhi "team up with" to beat him? He was traded. The only player who "teamed up" for a win vs steph was Lebron and he teamed up with....kyrie


I didn't think about it beyond LeBron honestly but yeah Kawhi's makes even less sense lol. Just an odd comment all around

Being the best player.

What makes Bron better than Jordan?

Playing the sport better.

Bron potentially will have won only once against Curry in the playoffs his entire career. It’s not like we can act like Curry has an elite team this year either

We can say Curry had the better team than Lebron every year, and this is pretty much the same exact team as last year minus Otto Porter.

But Lebron doesn’t play the sport better :roll:

Why, because he is not as good a scorer?

He neither wins as much nor has as many Finals MVPs nor has as many MVPs. He’s flat out just not better lmao.

Well in that case why are you bringing up Curry with his paltry one Finals MVP and two MVPs?

And no, Curry doesn’t have a better team this year. Warriors aren’t even a play in team without Curry. At best, GSW and Lakers are pretty much equal

The Lakers literally were a play-in team with Lebron, and with Lebron grading out as more impactful than Steph by all the regular RAPM measures Steph stans have always loved to argue for him,

If we actually look at an era instead of the moving target sign that is Lebron's career, The 2010's ended with Lebron winning more championships, making nearly twice as many finals, winning as many mvp's, making more all-nba's, winning more mvp votes. And that doesn't touch into the rather large emperical gap between the two in-terms of individual value in the regular season and the playoffs or milestons like becoming the #1 all-time scorer.

If Curry wins this championship he would have a head-start for being the force of the 2020's(and overall more team success if that's how you look at things) but this is a bit premature right now


This is flat out wrong lmao. Steph has won 4 rings in his prime. Bron has won 2 rings in Steph’s prime. Your argument falls completely apart with that.

Unless we count 2015-2020 as post-prime for Lebron, 2012 and 2013 certainly count as Steph's...


Really, the 2011-12 season where he averaged 14 PPG and was injured all season and the 23 PPG season in 2013 where he wasn’t an all star in either of those seasons is his prime? That’s a lack of common sense. Curry won 0 accolades either years. His prime clearly started 2014. So yes, Bron only won 2 rings in Steph’s prime

Lebron made it to the finals with that cleveland team.

Bird would have won 4 rings with that team, in this weak ass era of basketball.

This was locked due to being an absolute mess of a thread with multiple personal attacks.
