That's correct, not in the top 5.

And you would be dead wrong.

Knick fans never learn


They had to keep hiding him on defense.

Get it together Greenie

Because he’s a top 3 offensive talent in the NBA. Too bad about the defense

Try the best offensive talent. His defense ain’t as bad as you’re trying to make it.

But go off...to that foe list.

No, KD is definitely better. He is just unstoppable and was taking over this playoffs.

Defense "aint as bad" but definitely bad enough to move him just outside of the top 5.

Greenie is dead wrong about passing on Kevin Durant, but Stephen Curry, at least on that team and that system, is the more impactful player. He can shoot like **** and the team around him will still succeed because he draws so much attention, more than Durant.

Not taking the back end of some of their contracts into account but taking their historical health (AD, Embiid).

Tier 1 - Best player on a title team
Giannis
Kawhi (I think his injury last year was at least partially fake)
Durant
Harden
Curry

Tier 2 - Can be best player on a title team with 2-3 other tier 2/3 players
AD (Tier 1 talent but health has been an issue)
Jokic
Dame
LeCry
Paul George

Tier 3 - Great starters
Oladipo
Klay
Luka
KAT
Blake

Tier 4 - Flawed but All Star level
Kyrie
Gobert
Horford
Kemba
Embiid
Butler
Middleton
LA
Jamal Murray

I think offensively, at every aspect, minus maybe posting up players, he has everyone beat, even KD.

But kawhi, AD, KD, and giannis have just too much defensive talent versus his ineptitude. And curry isn't even **** at defense, those 4 are just so great at it, maybe not so much KD

Curry just seems like he can do **** no one else can
