no?
CP3 is the current WS/48 leader, of all time. Just ahead of Jordan. His impact on a team cannot be understated. I used to think it was because he was great but on bad teams, then he joined a good team and led the NBA in real plus-minus.

Best PG yes but best player? Not even close. I would even put Dirk over him if we're talking about the past decade. CP3 has never came close to doing what Dirk did when he won the championship.

Past decade refers to accumulation of impact season on season.

Curry also had a much better team in the last 4 years than CP3 ever did, including this year.
What did Curry do before 2015?

Life is much easier when you're on a team that can win multiple playoff series without you.

Not really.
In 2016 they basically beat the Rockets without Curry and were up 2-1 in the second round before he came back. They could've possibly gone to the WCF without Curry.
This year he only played in two second round games and the Warriors still got to the WCF easily.
Klay Thompson alone is arguably better than anyone Paul played with.

w/e you say, a out of prime cp3 is outplaying Curry in this series, what would a prime Cp3 do to Curry, no chance. Your joined date is 2017 it's obvious you didn't watch basketball until recently.
Right, a poster's join date is directly correlated to his basketball knowledge or age.
Great logic. I guess we can assume all 2018 posters were born in 2000.

Nobody, and I mean nobody, on this board had CP3 even close to a top 5 player at the end of the RS. Harden basically carried that team all year leading the MVP race while CP3 was along for the ride having multiple stinker games.
He has one good 4th quarter in game 5 (not a game 7 - nothing was “on the line”) of the Utah series, and doesn’t disappear last night, and now he’s suddenly better than Curry and Durant?!?! - two consistent top 3 players for the past 5 years, biggest superstars in the league, 3 MVPs between them, etc.?? You people are smoking some good stuff.
Dude is 33 years old and hasn’t accomplished anything till this season after teaming up w/ Harden on an already really good team. When he was the head honcho on “his teams” he couldn’t do squat. He’s in his 13th year in the league - 13th.
Can this board please stop wildly overreacting after every single game. The Warriors didn’t lose last night because of CP3...they lost cause KD and Steph shot like crap (for them) and Kerr screwed up by not calling a timeout. CP3 had 27/2/4...yeah, 4 assists - ooooh. He was iso ballhogging the whole time and so was Harden - Warriors were just worse.

So transforming mediocre team to contenders is accomplishing nothing? It is better than 95% of NBA players in history probably.

Even pre durant Curry accomplished more and it's debatable if currys cast was super good before durant everyone overrates players when a team wins curry had the best offensive season in the nba are we just gonna act like cp3 hasn't had a decent cast? He is great but not as great as curry
