If Golden State repeats, does Curry become the best player in the league?

discuss

[Inferno]

Eh, he'll for sure be the most successful player, but winning another chip doesn't mean he's instantly as good as Durant and LBJ on an individual basis

[dubeta]

No he becomes 0/22

[miggyme1]

TEAM ACHIEVEMENTS make you the best player in the league?

believe me when i say this.

GOLDEN STATE WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT THOMPSON,GREEN,AND IGGY.

AS SOON AS THEY LOSE JUST ONE OF THOSE THREE GUYS....THEY WILL NOT.....I REPEAT...THEY WILL NOT BE TITLE CONTENDERS. THATS JUST HOW IMPORTANT THOSE THREE DUDES ARE.

[Gileraracer]

He'll become 2/2. Thats a lot better than 2/6 :lol

[Spurs m8]

KD will still be an actual better basketball player, if that counts for anything with your twisted GS minds

[IllegalD]

Dude hasn't even won a Finals MVP. :lol

NO! :no:

[bobopenguin]

apprently harden already claimed that award.

[BoutPractice]

Did Isiah become the best player in the league after winning back to back championships as his team's primary offensive weapon?

[All Net]

Dude hasn't even won a Finals MVP. :lol

NO! :no:
Neither has Durant to be fair

[pauk]

To be "best player in the league" the individual has to play/be individually better than anybody else and i definitely dont think he will because he isnt individually more or even as talented / impactful / dominant as lebron james, kevin durant are and perhaps anthony davis aswell and a few would even mention james harden...

If he (HIS TEAM) repeats then HIS TEAM will be best... thats what a team accomplishment does to an individual if you dont have the above.... especially if your team repeats the same way (you being carried in the Finals by even the 4th-5th best teammate to a championship offensively/defensively overall who guarded a guy who was the actual best player in the league and probably will be again)

I dont think you have to win a championship to be the best player in the league, i was ready to hand that title to Kevin Durant for example in his MVP season... i often gave that title to Lebron starting from ~2007, maybe even 2006.... i was wondering if Shaq was the best in 1998 and especially in 1995 (when Shaq beat MJ in playoffs).... i gave that title Jordan in the 80s, despite what Bird/Magic did.... they simply were individually most prominent.... I give that title to whoever is INDIVIDUALLY the best player, no matter what, because i do consider the context of what they had to work with around them aswell.... simple as that...

[IllegalD]

Neither has Durant to be fair

Which is why he's only the 2nd best player in the league, and not THE best. :pimp:

[24-Inch_Chrome]

No.

[bigt]

Nah, Iggy will

[knicksman]

He already is. He possess the most important skill(tough shot creation). The skill that made kobe, dirk, pierce winners. Thats why you can build around them but not with bran.

can't build around him but ironic how every Knicks fan and their momma (and many other teams for that matter) were vetting for Lebron to come to NY in the years to seconds leading up to the Decision. :facepalm :facepalm

if Lebron were a FA today, every team with cap space would chase him...that's basically a staple...keep trolling tho :rolleyes:

if AD and Bran hit FA market today, the order would be AD first then Bran,
and i am the big bran stan.

obviously...AD has the youth factor to his side to warrant that selection. Lebron would pull very heavy attention regardless, that can't be refuted

however, my response to knicksman was in regards to not being able to build around Lebron, nothing but a fallacy over his teams inept ways and losing out in 2010. in other words, he's butthurt :lol

[sdot_thadon]

He'll become the best player in the league when he's the best player in the league. Rings don't make you better lol. They're jewelry.

[GoatBoy]

He becomes the best player on the best team in the league. Still doesn't make him better than Durant, Davis, WB, LeBron, and Harden in my books.

[WayOfWade]

If he can win the FMVP, then you'll at least have some sort of argument. I mean, the best player on the best team probably has a decent shot at being considered the best in the league. To be the best in the league though, you typically need to be a beast on both ends (or at least competent), and as Th Lawson has recently pointed out, Curry isn't too keen on playing defense.
In the end though, I think he'd have a decent argument if the Warriors repeat.
