    Sure and maybe Klay is better than Wiggins too but the point is that Curry can win with any of them at 2nd option, while high-scoring ball-dominators like Luka and Lebron need franchise players at 2nd and 3rd option to win as 1st option.

    Of course Curry produces perennial winners with any cast due to the superior chemistry that his highly-assisted skillset produces, while high-scoring ball-dominators like Lebron and Luka have high volume of unassisted buckets that leave teammates standing around and prevent great chemistry or winning.

    Only 8 points for Hield tonight, 3 points the game before.

    He started the season shooting 50% from 3, that is obviously not sustainable. This will not end well for OP.

    ^^^ Outdated fake news - I could tell that Curry would win with perennial losers like Poole and Wiggins, so I knew that Curry had proved me wrong and therefore made Curry top 5 all-time in 2021:

    Let's cut the BS about Curry. He's a regular season performer that can't score under pressure and frequently gets destroyed by other athletic guards or "dogs" like Ja or Kyrie.

    You Curry fans claim he's superior but here's the facts - when you put Curry on the same court as Kyrie, Ja and others, he does NOT have an advantage - it's like "oh look, he isn't better"... Curry is just a regular season performer and infact inferior under pressure or when his peers are standing right next to him

    Ultimately, since he's just a 3-point bomber, he lacks the pure scoring and shot-making skill that Kyrie, Ja and others have, along with athleticism.
    This dude was claiming in October 2021 the likes of Ja Morant were better than Curry

    And he proved me wrong, so I made him top 5 all-time in 2021 before anyone else had him anywhere near that high..

    And now he will come out of the West and contend for his 5th title with perennial non-contenders like Heild, Poole, Wiggins or Klay, so it's clear that he's superior to inferior skillsets like ball-dominators, who need franchise players like AD, Wade or Kyrie - it's an obvious gap..

    Curry's skillset is superior because he produces goat chemistry to win with less, while Lebron produces worst-ever chemistry to have the neediest teams in history... Again, the unfolding results continue to support my doctrines.

    Curry is the only long-standing, egregious case..

    I briefly had Giannis and Kawhi top 10 in 2021, but that was for 1 day on the first iteration of my final rankings that finally included Curry - the final top 12 rankings are ranked in order of the skillsets that produced the best chemistry have the best teams and win with the least, such as the cast they were give (organically) - MJ, Kobe, Bird, Curry, Russell, Wilt, Kareem, Duncan, Shaq, Magic, Lebron, Oscar.

    History shows that every great team, aka "dynasty" that mostly won for a material stretch of 5+ years were led by highly-assisted skillsets such as jumpshooters (Curry, MJ, Kobe/Shaq) or bigs (Russell, Kareem, Duncan, Shaq/Kobe) - that's all the dynasties.. Meanwhile, the lower-assisted skillsets/ball-dominators produced perennial losers and never produced dynasties/great teams.

    Based on this thread and previous threads from 2022 to 2024, I'm currently correct about Curry, while everyone else is wrong and doesn't think Curry is on Lebron's level or better, despite consistently having superior teams with FAR less help, and consistently elevating perennial nobodies to champion like Poole, Wiggins or Heild.

    Hield since OP made this thread. 10 ppg | 38 FG% | 35 3PT%.

    Warriors are also 6-8 since OP made this thread.



    This was predictable. Anything involving Klay turns into a backfire for 3bot.

    Klay was the prototype for 3 and D in his prime.

    He was one of the top 3-5 shooters in the league and he was one of the top 10 perimeter defenders while also being able to run off screens and have an offense flow through that at times of the game.

    Buddy is an excellent shooter but if he were tasked with defending the other teams top guard like prime Klay was asked to do that would not go very well.

    it doesnt surprise me that 3ball would argue this point, he has never valued defense. Doesnt fit the agenda of hating Pippen.

    3ball genuinely can't process value in basketball outside of scoring, and thinks if two players average the same ppg they're equally as good, which is why his takes are always so bad.
