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.


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

Why wasnt he better than lebron in 2016 then?


I'm not saying he wasn't, but that's a reasonable discussion. We saw Curry and KD on the same team. We saw who mattered more to that team. It removed any real doubt.

2016 is pretty much all you guys have, the playoffs where Steph got an MCL injury right in the middle of the run, immediately after going ham in the RS trying to secure the all time wins record

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.


okay so he's...top 3?

such exposed, much wow.


I don't think he was ever top 5 in the league. I've said in the past I think he's the biggest fraud in the history of the NBA and maybe all of sports. He's on the same level of Kyrie Irving (a great player don't get me wrong) but he tricked the masses into comparing him to the likes of Jordan and LeBron, the absolute peak of basketball greatness/transcendent players.

Yup we did. The guy who won 2 Finals MVP and was more efficient was who mattered more. Not the guy who choked in 2016.

Yep. We also see KD and Harden on the same team now. Harden looking more valuable so far this season.

KD is an undeniably all time great player but overrated when people suggest he's undeniably second to LeBron. He's played with MVPs most of his prime and in 2 of the 3 cases they've looked more valuable to the team. In the 1 case KD looked better he left that team for free and that team still was a 6th seed in the West. When Harden, LeBron, Curry are out their team folds like origami.

You could argue KD has been the second best player of his generation because of his unstoppable scoring even in the playoffs. You can argue it. But it isn't an undeniable truth at all, there is some strong or even stronger arguments against it.

...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?

Lebron is a better playmaker and overall player

Durant is the best offensive player in the league and the most efficient scorer of all time

Harden just as good as scorer and a far better
playmaker and carrying a team

Giannis a far better defensive player and overall impact player

AD far better two way player

Jokic is the best playmaking big man and arguably the best offensive player right now along with KD


Embiid is the league MVP right now

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



I think it’s wrong to tell someone that they are a troll and that none of their post are logical because he criticize Curry. Just saying.

you keep saying 'right now'...you do realize that someone having a better season =/= someone is better right? Jokic and Embiid are better than LeBron 'right now', doesn't mean they should be ranked ahead of LeBron.

and lol @ Giannis, Harden and AD being better than Steph. this one isn't even worth discussing.

In your mind there not better but others feel different. So because you think they are not better it’s not worth discussing lol. Have a nice day since you are the judge and jury.It’s one to be a fan of a player but being a Stan is sad. Lol

That’s the problem with player only fanboys they are blinded by loyalty and have lost all concept of reality

Can you imagine if someone watched those finals and had that conclusion? Not that in two finals the other team completely built their defense around curry and even played off the point of giving up layups to KD to prevent 3's from Curry. The better player wasn't questionable during those runs.

I'm not even sure he was the leader of those OKC teams. Westbrook just seemed to take over more....KD imo was the clear better guy, but I'd have to honestly think more about it as I've seen some really compelling cases the other way.

Sorry dude, but anyone in the group behind that "Curry has been exposed' thread is a troll. Plain and simple. Just look at his posts. His sole reason on these forums is to trash Curry for literally anything he does. Hes an illogical troll. Period. Provides nothing of value besides unbridled hate.

I’ve heard it all now. Wow. Your boy Curry is one of the biggest chokers in Finals history. He got clamped by Delly and consistently outplayed by Kyrie. But oh yeah, he was injured right? Lmao.

Yes, fans of the player who has stayed with the team which drafted him and around whom that team was built and is currently engaged in re-building that team after it peaked rather than running off to participate in a superteam elsewhere, and of that player’s team, are the one player fanboys.

I've been saving these for a snowy day and can't wait to pour through them. Taylor does damn good work.
