You look at the 80s Lakers and everyone would admit it was Magic's Lakers. Magic was still making the finals when Kareem fell off the wheel. Meanwhile Kareem was sometimes struggling to even make the playoff in the weak 70s.
I mean, I see the individual production but I don't see how anyone can say Kareem had a bigger impact. Seems to me Magic...
Lebron by far. Such a disappointment.
Everyone knows and expects Curry to poop his pants when it counts, so no disappointment on that part. Good thing this year there is 0 opposition for him.
I'm sure playing in a team going for a title is also a different motivation for any player. But people acting like the Warriors took a bum and turned him into this great player is wrong. Idiots could even say his stats were better before, so the Warriors made him worse.
Lets not forget he was the number 1 draft pick over Embiid, Zach Lavine,...
So lemme get this straight.
AD got hurt and the "GOAT" failed to even qualify for the playin tournament even though he was favored in the West?
Thats how great the impact of that particular player was.
The Lebron system went from championship contenders to getting sodomized by practically every NBA team in the 3 point era.
