This is OBVIOUSLY Steph's era- not Lebron's.

[nikster]

Is this the same steph that needed KD to join his team so he could beat LeBron?

This is the Steph that didn't jump ship 3 times so he could win easy rings. He won before KD and now after KD.

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

[KGtabake]

Only if you think that Curry is a top 5 players ever

Read on Twitter

The only "problem" with that is that Curry is 4 years younger.
At the same age, LeBron had 3 rings, 4 less all stars etc
Even with his injury history, there's a good chance Curry will surpass LeBron in rings(and add the personal accolades).

Did he beat Lebron without KD though?

[Karate Diop]

The only people willing to put Curry on the same level of ahead.of LeBron are people who never saw LeBron in his prime and / or are trolls / have a vendetta against him.

We've seen Curry as "The Man" without significant help and it hasn't been pretty.

[Statlanta]

It's either a shared era or no one owns this era.

LeBron has played 63,000 minutes
Curry has played 33,000 minutes

LeBron could still be relevant if he makes the playoffs next season.

Yeah, good point. Playing against a decimated cavs team with Delladova playing the Pippen role, then adding KD (when he couldn’t beat a healthy cavs team) we’re certainly very hard, well deserved titles.

Good think Middleton got hurt, or this would be the Giannis eta….

[Balls Deep]

I don’t understand how Curry makes his teammates better? Because he can shoot from anywhere on the court at the drop of a hat so teams pay attention to him? That’s more just freeing up space. That isn’t the same as directing players to where they should be/playing pinpoint passes etc like LeBron does.

Anyways, respect to Steph on his first legitimate title.

right... anyone who speaks the truth about lebron have a "vendetta" against him... give me a break... you lebron stans are the worst.
Curry has won 4 titles with the same organization, lead a dynasty, and now is the FMVP of the 2022 nba title. meanawhile lebron has 4 titles, that hes had to crawl around from team to team, hoppin around and gettin coaches fired every other season. no one has a vendetta against lebron, we just dont let ourselves be manipulated by a biased media with an agenda. This guy was pronounced the GOAT before he entered the nba... Which shows how badly the nba wanted a new Jordan... Instead, they got Curry. a much more similar situation to jordan, dynasty, with same team, organinically built and not formed threw collussion and backdoor deals like all of Lebrons teams have been built.

4 rings with the SAME franchise in 7 years.

Won rings with different sets of roles players whom he all made look better. Basically everyone 'fit in'.

Wiggins, who Lebron had traded away to get Kevin Love, FLOURISHED alongside a guy that beat Lebron 3x in the finals in Curry.

Literally gas made EVERY TEAMMATE better by merely just his presence on the floor. From superstars like KD, to players like McGee/Nick Young/Draymond/Zaza Pachulia, to players to Poole & Gary Payton Jr. Unlike Bron, he really makes teammates better and fundamental pieces to the team regardless of the level they're at.

And most of all - NO EXCUSES. This team had major injuries earlier in the season and mid season, but weathered the storm. Him, nor his teammates, aren't in ENDLESS trade rumors during those losing slumps unlike every team Lebron is on. Truly fosters a positive work environment.

The Steph Era. Happy to be a part of it.

you dont have to do this. you dont think steph is a better player, and he objectively doesnt have the accomplishments. Why not just be happy for the great performance?

Uh yes, yes he does. How else will he talk about LeBron? This thread isn't about Curry. Exhibit A:

Not even a large Curry fan. Just speaking objectively. And yes, winning with Wiggins adds another layer of credibility to this being Steph's Era. He's just been a superior winner over this time span while playing in a superior conference.

Not sure what to tell you.

Exhibit B: Every other post by him in this thread.

[drchaos]

Curry is probably the biggest reason why Lebron won’t ever be considered the GOAT

Kareem has even more to do with that.

You just don't like how LeBron's teams were built so that colours your perception of him as a player. Lebron has multiple runs more impressive then anything curry has done, and he hasn't had any easier of a time winning his rings (would actually argue Curry had a much easier time)

why is this a negative against lebron? I see it thrown around a lot and i remember this stuff from 10 years ago, but in hindsight, whats wrong wit this?

its against the rules?? sure he buddy buddy with his friends in miami, but the anthony davis trade was a clear violation of nba rules. The pelicans even requested a investigation into Klutch and lebron dealings.

[wegotthabeet]

I'm just glad Boston lost. Makes the Raptors 2019 chip look better.

[Jonny Blaze]

2015-2025 imo will be Steph and the warriors era. LeBron gets the little era before that and ofc there's some cross over

I'd give the dubs the 2017-2025 era. Cavs were injured in 2015 and dubs blew a nice lead in 2016. After that is when they really took off imo by acquiring KD and then going on to win a chip without him. Very impressive indeed.

The Showtime Lakers also lost a bunch of Finals. That still doesn't mean that 1980-1991 or so is not the Lakers/Magic/Kareem era.

[cupcakesnake]

Lebron came into the league 6 years before Steph and won his first 2 championships before Steph even became an all-star and went to his first finals when Steph was a freshman at Davidson.

Their primes certainly overlap but each of them have a great deal of success before/after. I don't really get calling something someone's era when you're directly comparing them to a player from a different age.

I mean this is the first year when, from an individual perspective, you can say Curry was definitely better than Lebron. I personally like Curry more than Lebron, but you're basking in some post-championship bias if you're saying Curry was the better player of this semi-era.

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* Golden St Warriors 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.

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.

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.....

every org is breaking similar rules. deals done @ midnight on free agency isnt really much diff. warriors and nets were negotiating before they got the durant deal done. The only team i seen get caught was the bucks and because they dumb about it. Lowry deal was just as dirty as well. Agents been using one client to get another client a deal or trade for decades as well. lebron and klutch are just the ones that made people aware. I can go through all 30 teams and all the major agencies and find similar behavior.
