Steph has never been a top 2 NBA player, ever. Stop kidding yourself.

The back to back MVP (one was unanimous too) who led last decade’s most important franchise to 3 rings over a guy who’s arguably the greatest ever, and who has completely revolutionized the sport has never been a top 2 player lol. Steph slander is like sex to you people

He's never been better than LeBron or KD, so he's automatically never been top 2. Then he has Kawhi, Giannis, AD and the rest to compete with.

is it slanderous to say hes never been better than lebron or durant? those are two of the best players that are like a foot taller than him. its not an outrageous opinion. Dirk revolutionized a position and a lot of people think he was never a top two player either. Theres an argument that he wasnt the best player in 2016 thats reasonable after his scoring average and efficency fell in the playoffs the way it did. who else? Mike Dantoni hasnt even made the finals and has never been a top two coach and he undeniably changed the game. Stan in Orlando too. Im not saying either side is right or wrong, but theres a legit reason this thread is so long. The stans and the haters both for a change have very valid points.

KD is a fair argument- I take Steph over him but if someone wants to put KD over him that’s valid. The other 3 are a tier below- Kawhi won 2 rings; one as a complementary piece, and one as part of one of the best constructed rosters in recent memory (Not to take anything away from him, but people ignore the amazing situation he was gifted in Toronto), AD did squat until he was paired with Lebron, and Giannis is also a top player but who hasn’t been able to leverage that into titles (or particularly deep runs).

The premise of this thread "Re: Stephen Curry has been totally exposed" I think most rational posters will say is just silly. In just this thread alone, how many rabbit holes have different discussions gone down already? If it just had a normal Title like All things Steph Curry, both sides would be taken a little more seriously. Having an all things Curry Thread or even a "Player discussion" Section set aside for players that have multiple hot take threads like LBJ, Durant, Harden, Kyrie, Curry, etc. might help improve realGM.

How great was Mr. Lebron for 2018-2019 Lakers? The team ended 37-45 and 10th in the West. They lost 3 times to the Timberwolves (1-3) that season. Shouldn't that aircraft carrier have carried the 18-19 Lakers to the 2019 playoffs at least?

He missed the last 1/3 of the season and actually had the Lakers as a top-8, high as #4 seed, in the West. With Ingram out as well that team took a quick nosedive. With both of them healthy, I think the Lakers may have gotten to the second round at best, so it actually worked out for the better in the end.

So LeBron was legitimately injured then, but Curry uses injuries as an excuse concerning which you have just bumped an old thread which has been duly locked ?.

Of course LeBron had a nagging injury, which he may or may not have played through if the Lakers had any prospects, but he was shut down so he would be right for the next season, when with the not insignificant addition of AD the Lakers duly won.

Yea and nevermind that klay has been out for two full seasons..the warriors would be noticeably better with him.

He’s having almost a better season then his MVP season if I’m not mistaken.. I don’t see how he’s been “Exposed” he’s just unfortunately on a not very good team.

Curry is great but just not an aircraft carrier great. Still great just needs someone to carry him for majority of the way. It’s ok. No shame in that.

If only other superstars had a role player like Iggy to carry them to a title

Belittle others in the squad is a Curry fanboys trait

Iggy is a great role player, but he is just that, a role player.

Are you not implicitly belittling the squad for other players?

There are no players carrying a team on their own anyway. None. This whole Curry has been exposed for not being Lebron James theory needs to die fast and just go away.

just pent up anger and vitriol against Steph from the LeBron guys (not all LeBron fans, but a very specific group)...looking to take out their frustrations against Steph any chance they get

Plenty of stats can say whatever . People can use stats to manipulate whatever.

There's zero question he was better than KD. Lebron is a whole other standard. But yes KD, he was better than.

...so what are you basing your opinion on exactly? or should we ignore all Steph's accolades and stats because you have a ridiculous and baseless agenda to push?

People can also use stats to analyze what's happening. You should give it a shot.

Clyde why are you even responding to this troll? Did you forget Openheimer is a known curry hater? None of his posts are logical.

Why wasnt he better than lebron in 2016 then?
