    But its the same problem for Kobe, and you notice their fans significantly lowering the bar for "iconic", so much that they mention single plays (alley-oop). Iconic moment, arguably, but not game. Moment because of what it represented, not the difficulty.
    I'd love for you to mention all the stars that came back from double digits down after the first half in playoffs elimination games more than Stephen Curry.

    ...

    what?!

    When you gotta add that much shit to your criteria, it probably won't check.

    I think you are refering to them "overcoming" the Paul-less Rockets?

    Yeah, once a team loses their best/2nd best player on an already short rotation, in a game in which either another teammate pulls them back in (game 6) or is severely call-diluted (game 7), there probably won't be anything iconic about it.

    controversial, would the apt term be.

    But sure, maybe you thought it was iconic how they beat a team that was a 7/1 underdog

    He has posted up to 5 videos and, while great plays, I couldn't recall a single one if I tried, and I think that's the case for 95% of the people. It's becoming glaringly obvious a). you have no idea what iconic means, b). Curry doesn't have any iconic moments. You made the argument that most games are out of reach therefore there isn't time for an iconic moment, yet every time the going gets tough, Curry is nowhere to be found and it's Klay stepping up in game 6, it's Durant (whose championships are nonexistent) and Draymond calling the shots. Oof.

    Only shows you have bad memory or are dependent on media to create moments to latch on to.

    If you went to an average ball fan and said "yo, remember 2018 finals game 1, remember what Curry did there?" How long do you think it would take for a person to recall the buzzer beater, and do you think they would deem that an "iconic" moment?

    Lmao.

    Not even a game, we lowered the bar to moment.

    Shit, creating iconic moments is kinda easy.

    Other than his game winner in Oklahoma City, which was a regular season game, there's not a single moment that comes to mind, no matter how hard you push. It would seem you agree with this as well, knowing you've posted all but iconic moments. Double yikes.

    What's crazy is that ACTUALLY was more memorable than any of the Curry shots that were posted. I wouldn't necessarily think of it off the top of my head when thinking about Game 6, but I absolutely remembered it as soon as I saw you posted it

    Clearly you don't understand the difference between a three by Stephen Curry and a three by any other player. But do go on.

    I'm pretty sure Houston fans will remember this one:

    Remember Kyrie's shot in the 4th quarter of game 7 in the 2016 finals where he gave the Cavs the lead with 0:52 to go? Neither do I. What I remember, is this:
