Isiah/Dumars/Rodman vs Curry/Klay/Dray

[3ball]

Even if you vote for the Warriors, Lebron had an extra perennial all-star to face the Warriors (Big 3 vs. Big 3 format), and therefore overcame a smaller talent deficit (many say he had more talent)...

Detroit also had 2 other 3x all-stars in addition to their big 3 (a full starting 5 of 3x all-stars)

Curry/Klay/Dray are obviously better. The Pistons won because how much overall talent they had like Laimbeer, Edwards, Aquirre, Johnson, and Salley and not because of some "big three". Those Pistons championship teams are by far the deepest of any championship teams ever.

Depends on what rules they are playing to.

^^^ all good points but let's face it:

- Isiah would eat Curry up - Curry is the opposite of big-game Isiah

- Klay underperformed every Finals until 2019 and would be easy comp compared to what Dumars is used to

- Rodman would have the quick-trigger Draymond "eating out of his hand" (as rodman described it)

- And Detroit was deeper with the tougher defense, goat physicality and goat toughness - these things are always the kryptonite of the warriors (8-10 without KD in Finals, and the 2-time bad boys would be their toughest Finals comp, by far)

Uh no. Curry

[3ball]

Uh no. Curry’s bad games are career highs for IT


Not true at all.. Isiah got more in 1 quarter against the goat team on a bum ankle (legendary performance) than Curry averaged for entire games in the 16' Finals against a matador defender (Kyrie)

Ultimately, Curry is 8-10 without KD in Finals and the 2-time bad boys would be their toughest Finals comp, by far - Warriors would have no chance without KD

Btw, it's different eras anyway - easier format for ball-handlers today, so comparing IT and Curry's stats isn't smart thing to do

LOL @ this bitch cherry picking when Isiah didn't even average 20 that finals... they even lost the "ankle" game, and Isiah only had 10 in game 7 with an L.

[ronniec]

Rodman could probably eat Dray alive, but Curry and Klay are too much for Isiah and Joe...

Warriors big3 win.

You're seriously going to try to throw that in there to further your point?? :facepalm

Most players in Isiah's condition for game 7 wouldn't have even put their jersey on.

The fact that he even played, much less contributed 10 points, was incredible.

3ball doesn't understand the logistics of 3 on 3.

I just did.

No, you just embarrassed yourself.


Trying to make points about things you knew nothing about on the back of reading a stat sheet will do that.
