Media loves Curry, yet...

[SpaceJam2]

For those that say he was robbed of the finals MVP in 2015, if the voters supposedly love Stephen Curry then why did nobody vote for him?

He has had a pass his entire career: squatting down acting like he's taking a crap on the court, throwing his mouthpiece into the stands, disappearing in the finals for 4 years in a row. He has done all this and nobody says anything about it. It was even mentioned in the last game they played he had 12 points on like 35% shooting, and yet if any other Superstar did it the Forum would blow up

The media loves him, so why didn't he win in 2015?

Iggy wears Nikes

Imagine taking a newspaper writer's opinion seriously when it comes to discussing basketball at the highest level.

Hold up brb... asking my 2nd grade history teacher his opinion on rocket science :lol

The NBA has always been around story centered awards. 6th man winning FMVP, because he stopped Lebron? That's a great story to sell for a moment.

If those writers could revote with the knowledge they possess now Curry would get it.

2017 and '18 are the bigger problems for Curry.

2017 and 2018 aren't problems for Curry. 2017 is actually a perfect example of how media narrative of Curry is absolute garbage. Media came up with the narrative that Curry was having a "down year". Then KD gets injured and then after some adjustment the Curry and the Warriors go on a 13-0 run just before the end of the regular season in which Curry goes in and defeats and embarrasses the leading MVP candidates on their home courts in totally dispiriting fashion. That run should have proved to anyone being objective that Curry was still the best player in the world. But the media MVP vote placed him 6th. Poppycock.

Warriors then go on to steamroll the opposition in the playoffs with Curry's numbers matching that of Magic or Bird at their best. KD was great in the finals but if it was a playoffs MVP it should have been Curry's. Honestly I thought the Finals MVP was in part a sympathy FMVP for KD for overcoming the negativity of joining the Warriors. 2018 saw the shoe on the other foot with KD carrying the Warriors while Curry was hurt but if the standard was the same Curry deserved it for similar narrative reasons KD had the previous year. But the media instead chose to give it to KD again making a mess of any narrative rationale and betraying the media's shifting double standards for their award.

:lol You're joking right? You're saying that's a better story line than "new face of the league" Stephen Curry?

Bad troll attempt, or very low IQ, I can't tell which.

You would give "2017 playoff MVP" to Curry over Durant?

Curry: 28-6-7-2 shooting splits: (48/42/90)
ORtg: 125
DRtg: 105
PER: 27.1
TS: 66%

Durant: 29-8-4-1 shooting splits: (56/44/89)
ORtg: 129
DRtg: 105
PER: 27.5
TS: 68%

KD did literally everything just a little better except for 4 assists to Curry's 7.

KD was far better defensively. They were a historically dominant defense that RS and playoffs after adding him. DRTG is a sht stat to measure defense

White people deliberately go after weak targets like Curry (african-americans won't protect mixed-race blacks because they hate them) and Lin (non-hispanic immigrant) because they lack numerical power like africans-americans or financial power like jewish-americans.

This white attack on Curry can be seen through 0 fmvp votes, dellavedova getting more media attention, refs calling touch fouls on curry while allowing him to be mugged, teammates getting overrated to take credit away from curry.

Great point, he did play great defense that year. There is no way Curry would win Playoff MVP or FMVP (obviously) in 2017.

I remember when Curry looked like he was about to cry last year in the Finals even though they won the game. He shot poorly, and knew he had cost himself yet another FMVP.

Yep!! It was Game 3 and he was crying in the tunnel :lol

He knew he was gonna be 0/3 in FMVP after that performance :lol

And Curry fans say he doesn't care...YEAH RIGHT

[PWB15]

Can't be a FINALS MVP if you are unable to TAKE OVER a game:banana:

At that moment it was. Maybe you should read past the 1st paragraph. I'm sure if they knew Curry wouldn't come close to another they'd give it to him now.

What makes Iggy in '15 better than Curry if we take away the story behind it? Show me your high iq answer.

LeBron lost game one with Kyrie.

He then won two of the next five without him, going 2-3.

He dropped 36/13/9 on the Warriors head and came damn near close to winning the series. If Iggy is not defending LeBron James that series the Warrios LOSE. Period. It would have been something historic like 40/10/9 on 46%

ALSO

He had the teams highest ORtg (higher than Curry, Klay, and Dray) and shot better from 3P% than all three of them.

I thought ORtg is dependent on sample size? Iggy scored way less on less attempts, but mostly open shots. Ofc he'll have good efficiency and a good ORtg.

If you take Curry away the Warriors lose aswell. That point is moot. That's exactly what I was talking about though. The story was Iggy, the 6th man, stopped Lebron and so got FMVP. At what ppg would be the cut off? When would Curry's be enough and Iggy too little to make Curry the FMVP?

Let's put it this way, it's also not so much "Iggy was amazing" that Finals because he wasn't it also was "Curry didn't do enough."

If the poor lil Curry fella wasn't getting clamped to 26 on 44% by a G-league Outback Steakhouse bus boy then he would've won the FMVP. But can you imagine this?

LeBron loses his #2 and #3 option and Curry cannot CONVINCINGLY win a series after being up 1-0?

26-5-6 on 44% and you go 3W-2L when your opponent is missing his #2 and #3 option? If Kyrie is there they win the series, most likely, right? With Love it's a lock.

Curry didn't do enough :confusedshrug:

Lol at this revisionist history.

Bran lost game 1 because Kyrie went down. Couldn't do it without the elite clutch scorer.

[Overdrive]

So it was story driven?

[SpaceJam2]

:lol

Kyrie played 44 minutes in Game 1

2015 Finals - Game 1

Kyrie: 23-6-7 on 45%
LeBron: 44-6-8 on 47%

Yawnnn

OP get over it.
Curry only plays Hero ball style, and even his fans are weary of his push shot now.
