Steph Curry and the Gaslighting Campaign Against Him

[WarriorGM]

Why in the world would you come here to learn anything?

So you don't know either? I came to learn that.

Then **** google it.

This took 6 seconds. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nba/who-votes-on-olympics-mvp-breaking-down-voting-process-and-revisiting-basketball-award-winners-by-year/ar-AA1oyL0R

It took 6 seconds to search for the article but apparently not to read it. I think I saw that before and yes it provides no names and no specifics on who actually makes the selection.

Wait someone said Lebron makes his teammates better? Stop playing now. Y'all going to make me spit out my coffee. That would be an obvious no.

Ask Bosh, Love, Westbrook and many others if Lebron made them better. And if they say yes they are lying! Anyway regardless of what they say we have 21 years of evidence to the contrary.

I always ask this question to the fanboys and they go silence real quick. How many guys have made their FIRST all star game playing along side Lebron? Keep in mind this is a 21 year career as well.

People always say Lebron doesn't have enough help. What they won't tell you though is Lebron doesn't make anyone around him better. That could be on the court as I pointed out above.

Or that could be just by the guy sucking up all the oxygen in the room. I'm sure we all know people like that. They feel they have to always talk and be the center of attention. They feel they have to try to lead when nobody asked them to lead.

This thread already has enough terrible takes from a warriors fan, it doesn’t need your help.

I just googled best nba players of all time. The first two hits had Curry 10th and 15th.
Look at his numbers vs Durrant in the 2017 finals. That’s hard to argue with. Durant was a beast.
Iguadola MVP….yes should have been Steph. That’s a difference of opinion. 2017 reg season MVP. Could have easily been Steph I agree. There were several guys right in there, super tight. Not gaslighting but a difference of opinion. Steph was the MVP the previous two years…was that gas lighting Lebron?
This Olympics…J mean they were both in the mix, no clear cut favorite to me. You wanted your guy to win and I get it.
It seems to me that Steph is fairly rated by Media and fans as one of the all time greats.

As an all-time great who is still currently playing and can still add to his legacy—I ask you isn't it odd that there isn't even more hype?

Where is the discussion wondering how good can Curry actually be?
Where is the discussion asking if he can surpass LeBron and even Jordan?
Where is LeBron vs. Steph?

We see every dumb comparison out there repeated ad nauseum but the most obvious one is avoided like the plague?

While we're given the narrative of LeBron chasing the ghost of MJ, we're fed the baloney that that's it, that's all Steph can do—and that basically started right after getting the unanimous.

That is completely unusual and unexpected—and bogus.

Go ahead and try explaining it in any logical fashion. The one that makes the most sense is that vested interests intervened to stop the Curry hype and it is clear they are still active.

You try too hard and make more damage to Curry legacy than helping in this forum. Choose the right target - Magic Johnson.

i think the poster is Ayesha Curry, she always hated LeBron. LOL

Steph should’ve been Olympic MVP. Because the USA won, folks were crowing that Lebron is still the best player in basketball. No he isn’t. And wasn’t.

Tatum suffered for LebronGate as well.

Yeah curry definitely would've been able to run the whole Olympics Offense and play great defense on Jokic just like LeBron lol

Ok, it was: Gloria James, Savannah James, Bronny James, Rich Paul, Lebron's HS coach, JJ Reddick, and Delonte West. Is that what you wanted to hear? Do you feel better now???

It’s easy to play defense when you haven’t been doing it all year and have the energy in a tournament watched in a global setting. And have 10 other All-Stars around you compared to Jokic and two role players.

Cool just Like Curry not playing defense all year with the warriors the past season where he didn't even make the playoffs.

Curry literally played like a YMCA Shooting Guard running around to get a pump fake 3 or crossover Steph back prayer 3 being setup all Olympics by LeBron James

He didn't create any fast break defensive possessions or ran a Curry PG Centric Offense playing the main Point Guard vs Old Man LeBron doing everything on the court.

There is a reason why LeBron won MVP, Because if he had Stockton running the point Guard position.. he could focus on simply scoring..aka #1 all time in the NBA of all time in scoring

He could post up smaller players, or attack the paint vs slower big men. Something Curry could never do in his offensive arsenal, he could also hit a dagger 3

LeBron will and always be better than any player because he can become Magic or Become a MJ/Malone Hybrid that will always have the advantage.

#1 all time

Steph can be compared to Magic. Steph can be compared to LeBron. Steph can be compared to Jordan.

Curry discussions and comparisons do not need to be limited to anyone.

Having a discussion forum where things aren't really discussed is more likely going to kill it than actually having a discussion.

Well he for sure would of been able to lead a better offense as he has demonstrated his entire career.

That's yet another thing with Lebron. He's been in the league for 21 years and very rarely if ever has lead a top offense. But his Klutch/Nike rep like to compare him to Magic, lol.

I can guarantee LeBron is a better pure point guard than Steph Curry.

Curry is the better shooter
LeBron is the better passer & game manager

If Curry was so great as a point guard they would've played LeBron as PF like ZBo/Zion

Curry is truly the best of all time smallest Shooting Guard of all time. Only reason he doesn't call himself a shooting guard is because he knows he can't challenge MJ/KB

So he calls or atleast the media calls him a "PG" to dethrone Magic.

When you close your eyes and Imagine Curry.. you think "Shooting" not "Point Guard"

Curry is the best shooter of all time aka shooting guard

And yet Lebron never has and never will in his entire life be on any offenses as good as the peak Warriors offenses despite over the course of his career playing with more offensive talent.

In fact MANY of the offenses Lebron led weren't good. But yeah I know the guy is Magic Johnson right? haha, what a joke

Curry is definitely not even close to Magic Johnson
LeBron atleast has a argument

There is something you and I agree on

Curry certainly doesn’t get the respect he deserves IMO.

He’s the most impactful offensive player I have ever seen alongside Shaq and has entirely changed the game (and yes I think his impactfulness on offense is more than Jordan).

That said, I don’t think this is some kind of conspiracy as much as a combination of a lot of factors. He’s had his prime at the same time as LeBron James. And that’s just how it is. He was always going to fall into his shadow.

Throw in the way that LeBron courts the limelight and manipulates the media alongside Curry being a low profile, kind of goofy, team first guy and it’s inevitable he’s not going to get the dues he deserves.

If NBA made all points 2 pts and removed the 3pt shot no matter the distance. How great would've curry been?

When you have to literally create a different game to knock someone down, it’s time to take a seat and relax buddy.

Ok I'm just saying because he's great because of the modern rules

But he's the Greatest shooter of all time I can't disagree with that
