This is the 4th time Curry has led the Warriors to the Finals.

I'm tired of how underrated Steph is.



He definitely isn't underrated.



He's underrated, 2 more wins and he ties LeBron for finals, without all the lame ass team hopping or drama.

He definitely is in my view.

When people regularly say KD's a better player than him, or rank him historically above Steph, then you know he's underrated.

Curry's one of the 10 greatest players of all-time. One of the most dominant players in NBA history. The best player of his generation with or after LeBron.



He's the second best point guard of all time, and a top 10-15 player all time. That's not underrated at all.

I don't understand how Curry vs Durant is even a debate, let alone how a lot of people who follow the sport would rank Durant above Steph. I think a lot of people, especially adult men, carry the resentment stemming from his popularity back in the day. That's my analysis, that I am fully aware you didn't ask for.



KD is pretty universally hated these days and the collapse of the nets has really hurt his reputation.

As for Curry isn't he viewed as the best pg of all time? Or atleast top 3. What more can be said. And that's regardless of the outcome of this series.

Yet they're likely going to win another championship. Not saying you're wrong, though. Steph pulling a Lebron on the Cav's year. Wiggins playing out of his mind (for him), and Klay doing just enough.

This is definitely a carry-job.

Wiggins has been solid in his role, and so has Looney. Lot of guys and making contributions, but no stand-out performance outside of Steph.

Wiggins has been the 2nd best player for the Warriors. Brown is the 2nd best Celtic. Versatile wings remain highly valuable. Another win for team RJ!

Still feels like the Celtics are favorites. They got so many weapons while the Warriors are 100% dependent on Curry. Beyond that, Tatum is really good. Wasn’t his best offensive game but he was still doing a lot. Doesn’t deserve to be called Randle…so disrespectul!

But I think the basketball world sort of overcompensates by putting Durant on a pedestal with a sort of contrarian and defiant approach, which comes directly at the expense of Steph's legacy (at least according to their narratives).

As always, I think it depends on who you talk to. Some people will even reach and make the argument that he's not a point guard, for whatever reason. Some will have him behind Oscar Robertson. Some will have him behind Magic. Some might have him at #1. I have him as second-best right behind Magic, but if he wins this chip and adds another one, then it's probably a toss-up.

It would do a lot for resume to win a finals mvp as it’s one of the main criticisms when compared to other all time greats

I think he was robbed of FMVP in 2015, and I count that year as a FMVP year for him.

One of the great robberies in the history of the NBA, along with LAL-DET game 6, LAL-SAC game 6 and HOU-GSW (2018) game 7.

I'd say that Brown has been the best Celtic in the playoffs. At least the most consistent of everyone, for sure. Tatum is the most talented, but his ups and downs have to be talked about more.
