it usually comes from either LeBon fans or teams he consistently destroyed the last half a decade, a lot of residual hate and jealousy towards him.

patterns are obvious, it's easy to notice.

He has done nothing without top tier talent. And when he has it other people in his own team have outplayed him on the highest stage. This year going to fight for the playoff spot without top 5 supporting cast.


His supporting cast pre and post KD hasn’t been that great.

He also thoroughly outplayed Iggy in the first championship. The fact Iggy somehow won that is dumbfounding.

In the next 2 championships he was 1b to KD 1a. Both played well enough for finals MVP. KD was just that little bit better. Kind of like Shaq and Kobe.

Curry gets hated on because he is not an tall athletic marvel, he absolutely has as much to do with the way the game is played today as lebron does.

Curry DID change the game with players now throwing up 3 early in the clock, half court shorts, and bigger emphasis on the three in general.

But I agree that curry wouldn’t have won those two extra championships without Durant. Also players like Lebron, Harden, Giannis, Lillard etc are able to carry a much bigger load and take talent depleted teams to the playoffs. Relying on Curry will get you to the lottery


Maybe he wins another without Durant, maybe not. It’s so skewed these days with players teaming up its hard to say.

I have a big problem with the second part of what you say. Remove lebron from the example and conversation, he’s on another level from everyone but steph has done more and proved more than anyone else you list, with or without Durant.

Steph is obviously playing amazing this season and they are still in the playoff mix. Even lebron missed the playoffs with the lakers when his team was trash and there is no doubt steph’s current team is trash.

Are you really saying you think harden, lillard or giannis is taking this current warriors rosters to a top 5 seed in the playoffs?

Carried them to what exactly? The picks good enough to get Klay and Dray?

I hate rob parker but he has a point slightly.

Curry is still a superstar and going to be best shooter of all time. Yes, he is a generational and transcendent player.

What I doubt about curry is how he can carry a team. He hasnt carried a team like Lebron, Harden, Damien and KD have. These players I mentioned can carry a team alone to the playoffs.

This year should be the year Curry proves to carry the Warriors on his back. People will say "but he has a gleague team. How can he carry a team of gleague?" Thats what you get when you give max contracts to multiple players. Your team's depth will be crushed.

A championship?

Are you saying he should have done more in his first three years in the league?

People have an irrational critique of curry. Probably fueled by all the love he got during the warriors run but it causes them to spout nonsense on a regular basis.

2013.

2019 playoffs once Durant went down.

He’s already proved it. Not like LeBron, but like Lillard? Harden? Durant?

How is Dame’s H2H playoff record against Steph? Check 2019, in particular.

How is Harden’s? Before KD got there, and including after KD got injured in 2019?

How about Durant’s? How did the 2016 WCF’s go with Steph coming off of a recent injury? Who has played with more talent over their careers? Steph or Durant? Steph or LeBron? Serious questions...

People on here acting like Klay and Dray were always considered top tier talent too. People on this board hated on those guys from the start too, and still hate on Draymond to today. And even when the Cavs beat the Warriors in 2016, it came down to a last minute shot, and people are going to act like they werent going to be championship contenders in the following years even if KD didnt come?

Curry has always been the backbone of this team, and this team had tremendous success, but somehow some people just resent that.

Gotta work on that reading comprehension. Curry did nothing before Kerr, Klay and Dray.

oh yea, picking Dray in the 2nd round, and Klay 11th overall, such high picks, much wow, such kiss...just an enormous amount of talent that Steph played with.

and he's been carrying this team long before Kerr came and board and the Warriors were the Warriors...like 47 wins and a WC semis birth back in 12-13, 51 wins in 13-14 while taking the Big 3 Clips to a 7 game series single handedly.

and you're currently seeing one of the greatest carry jobs in the last decade, a team without him on the court which has the 7th worst offensive rating of all time, a team without him that won a whopping 15 games last season, is now fighting for PO positioning only because of him.

lol @ you guys acting like Steph, a generational player, one of the top 15 or 20 players of all time (you read that right) has ANYTHING to prove to you haters at this point. comical.
