Re: Klay Thompson is Golden State's best player
I'm sorry what?
Klay isn't close to being the best Warriors player.
Curry is a better scorer (slightly) and rebounder (slightly)
But his playmaking skills are so much better than Klays its not comparable. Klay can score, but cannot run an offense. Klay benefits more from Currys playmaking than Curry benefits from Klay.
Defensively Klay is a little better, but on the offensive part of the court Curry has a pretty big advantage.
Re: Klay Thompson is Golden State's best player
Klay is definitely taking advantage of all the open looks Curry is creating, that's for damn sure.
Better player? Nah.

I probably exaggerated a bit. Seriously though, if Klay was [I]the[/I] man on a team, he'd probably have a TS of ~55%. No way is he gonna average 22 or 23 on his own team.

Re: Klay Thompson is Golden State's best player
[QUOTE=Eric Cartman]It doesn't matter who is the better player between the 2, they sure as hell don't care, it's all about winning. One night it can be Curry, the next Draymond, then Klay, Barnes and many others.
That's the true definition of a team. Individual stats are nice, but in the big picture of things is all about being a TEAM, word that gets lost in translation alot thanks to the Nike/Jordan/Adidas hype machine and the way how society likes to glorify individuals, the pre-existent need to distinguish the leaders, role models and excellent people in society based on certain characteristics.
Putting your ego aside and doing what's best for the team, is just a beautiful thing to watch.
So **** who is better, this isn't kobe/shaq petty rivalry, it's a group of great mature players, not ignorant, lazy, raping dickheads.[/QUOTE]

Yikes. Which other MVP candidates have the luxury of playing with a player like this?
Damn. Harden is the MVP. PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
