Do you think LeBron's rings were any easier than Currys?



Actually....yes.

The Eastern Conference was absolute garbage the 8 years that Lebron was in Miami and Cleveland.

From the 2010-11 season until the 2015-16 season Lebron James was on the most talented team in the NBA.

This only changed when KD went to the Warriors.

All of Curry's title teams are better than any of the Miami teams.


Your memory is just too short...I mean do you remember how painful Wade was in the 2013 playoffs?

The warriors never have a major problem with their interior defense and rebounding like the heat

The cavs were just awful before LeBron comeback and between 2015 to 2017,the cavs were 4-23(!!!!!!!)without LBJ.Most talented team in the league :lol: :lol: :lol:

Making 8 finals in a row is just legendary no matter what

Steph Curry beat Lebron's team in the 2015 Finals.

Steph Curry and Lebron now have the same amount of titles at 4....and Curry is 3-1 against Lebron in the Finals.

The 2015*, 2016 and 2022* were not super teams by any stretch of the imagination.

This years championship is more impressive than any title that Lebron has accomplished based on the supporting cast.

C'mon....It was more that Curry vs LBJ in his finals...I mean just in 2016,Curry was awful,LeBron was legendary on offense and defense and the finals were still close.....



2016 was 6 years ago. Since that Finals loss Curry has won 3 more NBA Titles.
He now has 2 NBA titles without Kevin Durant. point being that Lebron fans need to get over 2016.

The Warriors have won titles with Harrison Barnes, Kevin Durant and Andrew Wiggins at the power forward spot.
Barnes and Wiggins are considered somewhat average....but when they play with Curry they end up being NBA Champions.

I agree - steph's team beat a decimated cavs team in 2015. Delly was the 2nd best player on that team, or maybe Mozgov.

A healthy cavs team in 2016 beat what anyone else would describe as a superteam. Though I guess 73 wins isnt enough for you. After that, GS added the #2 player in the league (KD), and subsequently was able to beat the cavs & LeBron

I disagree that this years title was more impressive than the 2016 title

Honestly Bro....I have no clue the point you are trying to make with this post.

Lebron stacked the deck in Miami and Cleveland with "super teams" based on playing with Dwayne Wade, Bosh, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love. He was doing this while the Eastern Conference was horrible.

Who was the best team that Lebron ever faced in the Eastern Conference Finals? The only really good team was the 2011 Bulls.
The Pacers and Raptors were all teams that wouldn't make it out of the 1st round in the Western Conference.

I don't have a problem with Lebron stacking the deck....where I have a problem with Lebron's legacy is that his teams should have dominated the 2010's like Jordan and the Bulls did in the 1990's.
The problem for Lebron's legacy is that the Golden St Warriors happened....and they did it organically through the draft.

Once Kevin Durant did the same thing that Lebron did....he beat him at his own game.

I love Lebron fans. excuses for everything...and always trying to tear down other players (Curry, Durant) legacies.
Lebron fans are kinda salty this morning now that Steph Curry has the same amount of titles has Lebron.

The KD Warriors of 2017-2019 were a super team.

The Klay Thompson, Curry, Draymond Green, Harrison Barnes and Andre Iguadola were the furthest thing from a "super" team. They were like the 1990's Bulls. A team full of homegrown talent that ends up being better than any other team in the league because of their coaching and teamwork.

A "super team" isn't an elite basketball team that has a gaudy record.

A super team is one in which multiple superstar players all decide to play on the same team.

Yeah, cause Wiggins, a rookie, is the same as Wiggins, an 8-year veteran.

Oh, no sir, I dont want a star level player instead of a rookie. Matter of fact, could you please trade said rookie for a couple of bums? You know, just to make it more difficult. Its not like we're trying to win a championship, right?

Ffs, thats like saying that Chris Paul is ass cause he didnt win with Javale McGee on the roster, while Lebron got a ring with him on his.

This was Curry’s Ali Boom Ba Yey moment. Down goes Lebron. 4 of 6 > 3 of 9.

Lol. Bron stans in here talking about how much Wade sucked proves the point I'm making.

Warriors fans and Curry stans just don't behave like this. Throughout all of the slumps that Thompson has had.... Green has had...Wiggins has had...

You just never see a million impulse threads about instantly trading away players.

Whether you see it or not, Curry fans/Warriors fans actually believe that Curry can make it work despite the roster while Lebron stans KNOW that he can't win without a fully stacked deck.

Curry was on that flight to the Hamptons right? To recruit KD. I wonder what they talked about.

I see your issue.

The problem is that Lebron stans suddenly think players are serviceable AFTER Curry had made them a champion. See - Javele McGee.

Suddenly you think Wiggins is a great fit with Lebron, huh? Lol. Funny how that works.

AD went down in 2021 against the Suns while Lebron was showboating. Everything was gravy.

Lebron proceeds to get viciously swept by Suns and his stans said it was because he was unhealthy. Lol.

No. This is Lebron era. Well I think it officially ended end of 2021 season with Lebron having meltdown on the first round.

Thing about Lebron era is everyone else ate.

I think currently we are living era of parity where we have a lot of mediocre teams fighting for championship every year. Era of stacking up the deck because unable to win alone is at the end with Durant and Lebron being on tail end of their careers and new generation seems to embrace the fighting spirit.

Not in this era...we use to be able to appreciate different players equally, but now in this time of social media, clout chasing, ring chasing, we don't respect all players like we use to.

I mean what about all the posts about Wilt and Russell playing against plumbers to boost up the modern era. We talk about how the athletes are much better now, can shoot much better now...I didn't see that last night. I saw a lot of turnovers and bad basketball.

Saying all that, I respect what Steph has done far more than what Lebron has done. Sticking with a process and seeing it through is far more satisfying than all the wreckage Lebron has caused. It shows you can win without having to trade away your whole future or team hopping.....
I'm so tired of the typical......

Lebron’s game is based off all around play. In terms of final moments offensively he needs others to help him like Kyrie or Ray Allen. He’s not that guy that will put the team in the critical moments offensively. I take Larry Bird ahead of him if I wanted to win a championship with the game on the line. He should be lower in the all time standings. Boatload of losses with the choice to choose his own teammates. Pathetic record.
