You had to figure he was gonna take it back to 2016 aggression wise.

Id like to see another 30ppg year out of him.

With Lebron, AD, George, Harden, and Westbrook all on team with one of the others...and KD injured...hes in a great spot to be MVP. Him, Giannis, or maybe Embiid I guess...

He and Giannis are the only winners from the last 8 years not playing with someone likely to hurt their production or the credit they get for winning.

Not sure who else is in the conversation right now. Feels like im forgetting someone though.

I'd give the Joker an outside shot. If he can lead the Nuggets to the #1 seed without a legitimate second option, that's a narrative that would definitely pick up traction for MVP.

[insidehoops]

Steph shot like an ISH fam member: 14 of 19 FG.

[Kblaze8855]

Jokic. That’s who I was forgetting. He’s there with Steph and Giannis far as having nobody to take his credit.

No he's not. He'll put up amazing numbers no dought but warriors won't make the playoffs so there's no way he's getting MVP.

MVP Curry got beat out by 12ppg Iggy for FMVP and averaged 17ppg in the finals the year after

Even his peak is hilariously underwhelming. No wonder you've got losers like OP celebrating preseason games in October :lol

Curry lost his chance to be a top 10 great since 2016, the two sidekick rings with Durant leading GSW aint helping his legacy.

[Stephonit]

LeBron fans talking smack about Curry. How predictable. Scared Curry will deliver another team composed mainly of castoffs and first-timers to the playoffs in the Western Conference where LeBron couldn't.

Who the **** are you? Typical LeBron stan fabricating numbers. Steph averaged 23ppg in the finals the year after. Ironically enough, LeBron is the one who averaged 17ppg in the finals during his prime, not Steph. :oldlol:

[Keno]

Curry has been irrelevant for a while now, cringe at the thought of "mvp" being back.

Umm, he averaged ~23 ppg in just 35 minutes per game since most of the games were blowouts and still broke the Finals' 3-point record with over 11 attempts per game at 40%, I know people have dumped on his FG% but almost all of his shots were 3s.

The year Iggy won FMVP, Curry averaged 10.8 ppg on 55/50/92 splits or 75%TS in the 4th quarters alone, I don't think you can find me a better 4th quarter scoring average for any player in Finals history if we go by volume and efficiency.

Curry has been to every Finals since 2015. He led a team to the Finals with no KD last year year while your guy was busy missing the Playoffs.

KD played the first two rounds, so nope.

[ImKobe]

Better than choking in February/March and winning 4 out of 15 games during "Playoff mode" like Bran did :lol


KD played the first two rounds, so nope.

Last time I checked, they were 2 - 2 with Houston as KD got injured, Curry won 6 straight games en route to the Finals.

Wrong, he played most of game five and the team had the lead before he went down.

[ImKobe]

So the Warriors - Rockets series wasn't tied at 2 - 2 as KD got injured? Is that what you're telling me?

Oh they had a 3-point lead in the 3rd quarter as it happened, that changes everything :sleeping

Curry only had 12 points in the 4th of that game (tied going into the 4th) to win and proceeded to destroy the Rockets on the road in Game 6 with 23 4th quarter points, followed by sweeping Portland while averaging 37/8/7 on 66%TS.

Yup, Curry was a total bum.

You're telling me that someone that played 80% of the series didn't have any impact in it. Is that what you're telling me?

*With KD help.

*With KD help.

Like I said, the series was tied 2 - 2 so Curry had to close that out and he had to win the WCF, that's half the wins in the WC.

Either way, your hero was busy losing almost all of his games in March while Curry got a team to the Finals yet again.

My hero is not a basketball player.

The series was basically reduced to a best of 2 1/3 games with the Warriors experiencing a sudden big change in their lineup in the middle of a critical game.


*With KD help.

I'm actually more impressed with the Warriors because of their resolve in the face of the sudden shock of losing KD. Are you going to argue that losing KD under those circumstances was helpful? If anything the likely psychological effect would have been to dispirit a lesser team. They showed that they could deal with adversity.

The Warriors were literally smiling after KD injury.

"This quote Steph gave to @WindhorstESPN about the Warriors reaction to KD's injury is really telling: "We all looked at each other. There were a couple smiles in terms of what that meant for us as a team -- the guys that were going to need to step up in those moments."

Yeah they saw it as a challenge to be accepted not a loss to be scared of. Championship pedigree showing through. Championship pedigree established without KD. Is that supposed to be a negative for Curry?

So much for psychological impact and detrimental...

Winning with Curry previously likely helped them overcome the shock so that's credit to Curry.

Yes, Curry always had his big moments until the finals.

Curry's had tougher roads to the finals that decimated his team before he got there.

Yeah, coming back down 1 - 3 against Durant and WB was easy.

Yup. You just know he's gonna crash and burn in the POs without KD. I cannot wait

[Jingo]

Curry choked in GM 6 :(
Which game 6? You gotta be specific

[Stephonit]

Lots of upside for this season. As long as Curry is healthy it will be fun.

[hold this L]

He needs to stay healthy and average 35mpg this RS. He will be needed to play like 15, 16 seasons with Klay out for 2/3rds of the season. There's way too many questions for this season though, how will the depth be, will there be enough shooting outside of Steph and Klay when he's back, and obviously the big one being defense.

If you look at last years finals even with the box and 1, the issue was defense. The team needed to defend better. Granted it was decimated with injuries in epic proportions, but I'd feel much better if the team had some all around star defenders for the team. A real shame Iggy left and may even join the Clippers or Lakers if he gets bought out. That's a double dagger :facepalm

[hold this L]

Which game 6? You gotta be specific
In 2015 when he bodied your hero Simon. I was looking at 2017 and 2018 but there was no game 6 needed for those series against LeEarlyExit. :bowdown:

[Stephonit]

People still don't seem to quite realize what Curry is. He's a Jordan-level player, a tier above LeBron. They should be giddy at the prospect of what he might be able to produce.

[ImKobe]

You would know a lot about the Playoffs as a Lakers fan. Oh wait.

At least my team's been in the Playoffs this decade :roll:

A tier above. Someone with multiple personality disorder shouldn't be accusing others of being delusional.

:oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol:

I have it as a 50% chance that in a couple of years we'll be looking back and a LeBron fan will have the temerity to say Curry had it good because he had studs like Jordan Poole and Marquese Chriss to work with while LeBron was encumbered by Anthony Davis.

[sdot_thadon]

Curry looks pretty good so far, I hope he's back the game is always better when stars shine. That said, don't get ahead of yourselves though. He's still very much the same guy with the same weaknesses until proven otherwise.

[bigkingsfan]

Kings are a poorly run franchise and still did better than the Lakers in the last five years.

Umm, Lakers tanked for a bunch of lottery picks and ended up with two of the 5 best players in the league, when's the last time the Kings had a legitimate top 5 player in the league? And no, DMC never was 1st team All-NBA.

Since you're fond of all nba teams, Davis didn't make one last year and Lebron was 3rd. So they don't have a top five either.

[warriorfan]

[StrongLurk]

Curry is disrespected by casual fans. True bball fans know Curry will end up as a top 15-20 player of all time...which is crazy to think based on him staying in college for so long and how he played his first 3 years in the league.

[Stephonit]

The media shows him more disrespect than even fans. If he wins MVP and leads the Warriors to a championship this year with the cast he's saddled with he's top 5.

Im not a curry fan but I actually agree that he could be a top 20 atg when his career is all said and done but most of his Stan's think he's a top 5 already.

I'll give u credit. Your one of the few curry fans that rate him fairly accurately.

[ImKobe]

Since you're fond of all nba teams, Davis didn't make one last year and Lebron was 3rd. So they don't have a top five either.

AD's clearly been a top 5 player over the past 3-4 years and so has Lebron, just because both rested the 2nd half of last season doesn't mean they're not top 5 when they're on the floor.

But don't worry, at least you have De'Aaron Fox and Harrison Barnes :roll: .

I'm not even a Curry "fan". I mean he is entertaining for sure and I like him, but I'm just an objective fan of the game and not a soyboy beta cuck stan.

He's top 15 and closer to top 10 if not in it already. There aren't more than 15 players with 2 MVPs and there aren't more than 10 with 2 MVPs and 2 rings.

There is no one else who can claim to have led a team to 3 67-win seasons, including the record 73-win season or the 16-1 playoffs record. No one else has been a unanimous MVP.

Try being the basketball historian that argues against that being top 15. The case is as objective as you are going to get. It's the detractors who will need to be inventive to come up with excuses to deny him. Let's face it there are more than a few on this board probably and you'd do so more emphatically yourself if you could manufacture reasons to do so without looking like a complete hater.

Well then you must be a casual fan then, because there's no way he's not in the top 20 already.
- spearheaded one of the GOAT teams, best team of this decade
- pioneered the 3 ball game
- greatest shooter ever and one of the best scorers ever
- 3 championships
- 2 MVPs, only UMVP
- 5 finals in a row that's never been achieved except when plumbers were professional athletes
- greatest RS of all time
- greatest PS of all time

He already has a good case for top 15, but I can understand why some don't put him in there just yet.
