Actually Curry still played well in the Western Conference playoffs, but hes a perennial underperformer in NBA Finals. Hes just, not good enough to perform well on the biggest stage of basketball, he needed Durant to help him beat Lebron.

[QUOTE=Rico2016;13964565]LeBron's ability to SHUT DOWN a 30 point, 50/40/90 Unanimous MVP to the tune of 22/4/4 on 40% is the true icing on the cake. LeBron's defensive efforts that series, leading ALL in steals and rebounds as well, clearly exemplifies goatness to a level we will never see again. LeBron led all in all, while reducing a 30 on 50/40/90 player to 22 on 40%. Astounding.[/QUOTE]

So who was the FMVPs of these years? It’s especially hilarious how Durant tried to gift the FMVP in 2018 to Curry and he still couldn’t get one. Curry has a 0% FMVP rate with 7% FMVP votes going to him, this tells everything you need to know.

Longevity personal accumulative numbers? Who cares? The point of the sport is to win the game. The best players WIN.
Their dominance and affect on winning basketball games, playoffs, Finals and titles. Not empty stats or stat padding.
Using that logic, then arbitrary well rounded Westbrick is the best of all time for averaging triple doubles in three straight seasons. Because umm stats? Luka using that logic is already on pace to be GOAT? :oldlol
Jordan has 6 chips in 15 seasons on 6 attempts. He appeared in the Finals for 40% of his career. If you’re counting meaningless Washington seasons as a 39/40 year old player / GM and counting 1986 and 1995 where he really barely played.
In 13 Chicago seasons (really 11 full seasons) he was in the Finals for 55% of his seasons played and won 100% of his appearances.
LeBron has been there 58% of his career and so far only won at a measly and quite pathetic 33% clip.

What are we debating? That LeBron has 10 Finals and 4 chips to Michael's 6 trips and 6 chips?
Let's keep it simple
What is better, 6 for 10, or 6 for 6?

No, he wasn't. He had some hot 3PT shooting nights against worse defenses but clearly did not have the lateral quickness prior to his knee injury. He played on a sprained MCL.

Game 4

If the inferior player locked Curry down it doesn't change the fact he was still behind 3-1. Curry as we should all know by now can win without scoring. What it took for the inferior player to win was for the league to lock the Warriors down.

All you're really proving with this is that it didn't matter if Curry was injured or not. He still was underperforming and Warriors still took a 3-1 lead despite that. It just makes Cleveland's comeback all the more impressive.

I have no idea how you came up with that conclusion. Cleveland being 3-1 behind despite Curry underperforming, if we are to accept that for the sake of argument, doesn't scream impressive. It's decidedly unimpressive.
