Curry isn’t being put into conversations as the best ever nor has he ever taken as active a role in the construction of the teams around him. Sounds to me like it’s more about wanting the greatest of all time accolades for LeBron without the scrutiny that comes with it. Doesn’t really have anything to do with Curry tbh.


The whole crew flew to see KD to beg after giving up that 3-1 lead.

Its amazing that you just posted a long azz lie in defense of Curry. Im a huge lebron fan, but ive never tried to lie :noway:

You've said this already... Like, 1000 **** times actually

You're a LBJ fan, we get it bro.

Offensively yes. Defensively its one of the best supporting casts in the league and they play much better on that end without him on the floor.

Overall many superstars have had to deal with worse casts and led them to comfortable playoff position at least

Curry is treated differently because he treats the media, fans, team employees, and his teammates better behind the scenes. He is a genuinely good dude by all accounts who doesn't act like he is above the average Joe. Little things like these go a long way with the media. You are acting like he gets treated better for no reason.


Bro, are you REALLY insinuating the piece of shyt media like him for those reasons? lololol, hilarious. Becaue hes a good person and the ONLY good person in the whole NBA? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


If you dont think his attitude plays into how hes treated, it makes sense the bitterness you hold toward him. I cant think of any time where Curry reacted with attitude to reporters questions or tried to make them look dumb, or ever talked bad about teammates or opponents. While im sure there must be some instances, definitely not as much as Lebron has, or even worse how much players like WB, Harden, KD, etc. Yes i'm sure the other guys are good guys most of the time, but Curry isnt cursing out fans or tattooing Chosen One on his back.

And honestly i believe that is a huge part of his leadership, hes humble but confident, and never throws his teammates under the bus, and is the type of guy willing to sacrifice for the better of the team, even if that means he wasnt the focus of the team anymore.

Its a pretty simple formula really, be a good person to others, they are good to you. And add his skills and greatness on top of that, and of course media and fans are going to love him.

Theres a big difference in recruiting free agents vs getting coaches fired, demanding teammates be traded, and refusing to sign your contract until after your klutch clients have signed theirs.

He's been a monster the past few games. If his teammates played better in the clutch they would have a 4 game win streak

Taking out their centers has helped a lot as well. It's like a homeless man's version of the death lineup.

Draymond is the teams best defender. Top 10 defense in the league that plays at a top 3 level with Steph off the floor sounds elite defensively to me

Draymond, Bazemore, Looney, Wiggins, Mulder, Jta, Oubre. Wiggins is having a good defensive season and theyre deep on that end. Wiseman is inconsistent but has flashes of great defense too

Wanamaker is one of the best backup defensive Pgs too and Ive seen him play for a while in Boston so its not surprising it isnt scheme

Suggesting Curry has engaged in anything close to the type of organizational power flexes LeBron has is about the most disingenuous thing ever. And it still doesn’t address the weird insecurity some LeBron fans have with regard to Steph. Nobody is saying Steph is better lol. Let the man live already.

I can read. And I read you call Andrew Wiggins, Kelly Oubre, 19 year old James Wiseman, 2021 Draymond (who is still effective and gets too much grief here, but isn’t what he was), Eric Paschall, etc. one of the best defensive supporting casts in the league.

Wanamaker is one of the best backup defensive Pgs too and Ive seen him play for a while in Boston so its not surprising it isnt scheme


If Mulder was even average on Defense he'd be playing 36 minutes per game. He's absolutely brutal on that end.

They have a 107.1 defensive rating in 340 minutes with Steph off the floor which would be good for the best non Lakers defense in the league. Theyve been top 10 defensively for a while now and have been better after Jta has started recently too all while Steph is a bad defender or very below average at best. Sounds like an elite defensive supporting cast to me def one of the best in the league based on what theyve been doing so far with Draymond back whos still one of the best defenders in the Nba

Dude, stop it.

You’re calling a team made up of Juan Tuscano-Anderson, Andrew Wiggins, Kelly Oubre, Eric Paschall, and an (injured) 19 year old who played 3 NCAA games before jumping to the NBA w/o training camp “elite defensively.”

Read that again.
