That's idiotic. You obviously have Curry confused with Klay. You clearly haven't watched them play which explains your other low IQ takes
[QUOTE=HoopsNY;14937099]
Having said that, it's hard to get away from the postseason performances and him not winning a FMVP until 2022. We'll never know what happens in 2017 and 2018 without KD, but he had a chance in 2019.
In game 6, it was Klay carrying the team. Steph put up 21 points on a putrid 35%, including 27% from 3. In the 4th quarter he went 1-6 (16%). Once again, we found him to be underwhelming in situations where it mattered the most.
2022 was a sort of redemption, but it took pretty long for him to finally secure a FMVP.[/QUOTE]
I think his bad performances in some big games has to do with his play style, not saying he is just a shooter, but when the majority of your attempts come from 3, there is going to be some stretches of games where you are simply cold no matter how good of a shooter you are & especially in the playoffs where teams tighten up their defense. His consistency was never on the level of a LeBron, MJ, or Magic because of this.
He had some all-time great regular seasons, in particular in 2016. But he never had an overall postseason run that was as magical as '91 MJ, '00 Shaq, '18 LeBron, '94 Hakeem, or '03 Duncan.

Eh... in 2022 he definitely did. The Warriors weren't even expected to be title contenders and he led them to the chip averaging 31/6/5 on sniper efficiency and carried them when it looked like it was over.

Literally led a underdog Championship squad with Andrew Wiggins as his 2nd option.
Grouping 2018 Lebron in that list when he didn't even win and his team got blown out by the biggest margin of defeat in NBA Finals history is [I]crazy[/I] work too.
[QUOTE=tpols;14937111]Eh... in 2022 he definitely did. [/QUOTE]
Curry was pretty "meh" leading up to the Finals that year. His series performance vs the Mavs & Grizzlies were mediocre.
His best overall postseason run came in 2017, the same year Durant won FMVP over him.
LeBron on the other hand in 2018 was a one man show averaging 35/9/9 on 62 TS% & basically willing his team to the Finals. It's probably the greatest individual run I have ever witnessed.

Yea but they beat rookie teenage Tatum and Brown Celtics to get there. The east was extremely weak. Curry beat the full form evolved version 4 years of experience later.
Nobody on Boston even averaged 20 ppg in their ECF vs Cleveland. They didn't have a single star player since Hayward snapped his leg in half and Kyrie was out.

Cavs were a legit 15-20 win team without LeBron that year. As a team it was obvious to everyone that Indiana & Boston were better, but LeBron just went GOAT mode throughout that entire run. He also beat Boston the last two games without Kevin Love.
But this isn't about LeBron, this is about Curry. Are you secretly trying to deflect after you called his 2022 run legendary after I just showed you how mediocre he was vs Dallas & Memphis that year?

Lebron played fantastic in the east that run but the bolded isn't even remotely true.

The 2018 Cleveland Cavs were huge favorites to come out of the East. And they didn't have any signifigant injuries like the Celtics did.
The Pacers were an astounding +125,000 odds to win the title and you name dropped them.
:roll:
The Cavs were by far the number 2 title contenders in that year backed by the above time stamped factual data.
Going the 3ball route and bringing up pre-season odds. Do you ever come up with your own original ideas? Cavs had a 30-22 record at one point and traded half their roster at the trade deadline because of how bad they were. And it was obvious to everyone watching how bad LeBron's teammates were during the playoffs. The money line tends to favor the team with the superstar and LeBron proved Vegas right because he carried his team.
You literally tried to put 2022 Curry's postseason run as "all-time great" despite having 2 bad series in that playoff run.
Embarrassing.

Not to mention LeBron beats the Warriors in game 1 if it weren't for the most blatantly rigged officiating I've ever seen. Corrupt af. But he won't point that out.

Boston was up 3-2 in the series....Love played 5mins in game 6 and missed game 7.
The Celtics being without two of their All Stars in Kyrie and Hayward was a far bigger blow to Boston than anything Cleveland went through in 2018...
But the biggest thing that blew my mind was you hyping the Oladipo +125,000 odds underdogs as being better than the Cavs.
That's actually insane. :lol
Hayward wasn't an All-star that year. LeBron playing in his 8th consecutive conference Finals had much more milage than the Celtics combined that year.
Lebron choked vs the spurs and lebron stans go “he was only 22 years old!”
Then in 2018 lebron whoops on some 19 and 20 year old kids and it’s supposed to be some sort of blood bath
lmao
