Meanwhile in the NBA, Steph Curry is absolutely dominanting the Mavericks. He knows nobody cares about basketball today so it’s pressure free. Great player when there’s no pressure. link (https://twitter.com/SportsTalkBarry/status/1084623761175969792)


Steph Curry tonight:

48 points
11 3’s
0 Finals MVP’s

Best player of all-time in mid-January games against below .500 teams. link (https://twitter.com/SportsTalkBarry/status/1084637175969398784)

I don't care about no 48 points, 11 3's against a below .500 team. I want to see this guy show up against best teams. We take Lebron for granted but look at all good games he's had against elite teams like Spurs and Warriors in June (even if he loses).

Better to forget LeBron's series against the Mavericks right? Curry has shown up even when he had an excuse not to. LeBron should count his lucky stars that he met Steph when he did and not when Steph was at full strength or LeBron wouldn't have much of a record to speak of.

Is it just me or are the lowest quality posters on this forum the ones with a Kobe profile image?

Do the Finals matter? He scored 27.5 pts/game and 41.5% from 3-pt range in the last one. He made 22 3's the series, the Cavs as a team got 36.

You also have to actually watch the games to determine impact because the box score doesn't capture it. He's always anchored the offense and always played team defense well. If he caved when they needed him most, GSW wouldn't have the rings they do. It's always been a team-team but to imply he disappears in these moments- it's more of a provocative thing to say than something that can be sensibly reasoned.

its always like this. Check the box scores when the warriors go against good teams. Curry plays like crap while durant either plays well or his usual consistent self.

It completely blows the minds of LeBron's fans that a player like Curry can be effective even without stuffing the box score like their hero. Warriors fans would rather have Curry score 30 than Durant score 40. The former is much more predictive of winning. So you can take LeBron and his box score numbers, Warriors fans will gladly take Curry's wins.

Curry was great in 3 of his 4 finals. :confusedshrug:

2016 was a big black mark tho, on the level of '11 Bron/'04 Kobe. Just an awful all-around performance punctuated by a monumental collapse in game 7. Dude was flat out terrible down the stretch.

2015, 2017, and 2018? Superstar production and impact. This whole notion of Curry being shit in the finals is completely overblown.

I agreee with everything you said bruh, except 2015. He had one truly great performance, Game 5; but the rest of the series, against a comically undermanned Cavs team, he ranged from decent to terrible. His last 2 Finals imo were on a clear level above that one.

The most legitimate knock on Curry is he can’t get through a Finals series without an absolutely terrible game. 5/23 in ‘15, 4/13 in ‘17, 3/16 last year, and several bad ones in 2016

Curry doesn't disappear from big moments, but he doesn't own them either.

He's just pretty good, like a lot of all stars/stars in big moments.

Nothing to scoff at or even thread worthy.

Now if we are talking SOLELY about finals, he's probably a top 20-25 finals player of all time, which is in line with his all time ranking.

MJ, Kareem, Lebron, Shaq, Durant, Kobe, Hakeem, Jerry West, Bill Russell, Duncan, Magic, Elgin Baylor off the top of my head.

Curry might be top 15, you have other guys like Wade somewhere in there for 2006, 2011 and 2012. Also there are technically ABA players like Dr. J. You do have other standouts who simply have made it to the finals less, but reasons for that are a different discussion. A

Anyways I will say Curry will finish as a top 15-25 player of all time and his finals play is essentially in line with that.

NOTE: Curry should have won FMVP in 2015, although it would be a very weak FMVP regardless.

Of the players mentioned Curry beat two that he faced in the playoffs. Somehow they weren't able to overcome Curry despite ostensibly being more impressive. Curry is simply more effective.

LeBron embarrassed Curry the only time their teams were remotely on an even playin field, so not sure what your point is here.

If squeaking by in a 7 game series where LeBron had to get one of Curry's teammates suspended for a game to turn things around is getting embarrassed then I questions your definitions. LeBron should be embarrassed that he has to point to that as the peak achievement of his career.

Lol, Curry played 4 Finals and was never even a Top 2 player in any of the series.

Who was the best player then in those series? LeBron? He lost 3 times out of 4 and relied on the harder matchups in the West to soften up the Warriors and the refs to bail him out in his sole win. Curry beat two MVP calibers players playing against him simultaneously
