Beverly was TORCHED during the reg season by Curry.. in fact, Curry probably would have put up better numbers had Beverly not sat on the bench the entire series. RP Beverly? lol please, 4-0 vs him... would have been 4-0 in playoffs too if she played
Cavs - Yes; can't deny that an injured Kyrie Irving & Kevin Love changed the series. But you also have to give credit to the way Warriors play... they play smart and shoot open shots so they don't get injured as much as guys who play like AI/Wade
And if you wanna compare opponents, please name some great opponents that 06 Wade, 09 Kobe, and 2013 LeBron played... doubt half this board even watched the 06 playoffs. (Pistons were pretty good, but don't tell me Mavericks with #2 option Jason Terry was a great team)
'09 Kobe played a Rockets team without it's two best players lolwow and his best competition was either a Carmelo-led Denver (Knicks) squad or Dwight Howard-led Magic with Turkoglu as his second option, while Curry played a Rockets team with 1st team all NBA mvp runner-up James Harden with Dwight as the 2nd or 3rd banana. '15 Rockets >>> '09 Magic
'13 Bron? Milwaukee Bucks had a losing record lolwtf, Bulls' #1 option Derrick Rose was injured, so they beat a Joakim Noah-led Bulls team lol, taken to 7 games by a 49-win Indiana Pacers wow great run Ray Allen
And given the fact that Curry played far less minutes than those guys, I'd say he played at least on their level, but didn't have the pressure to carry the team as much as those guys. Also, Curry had just as much impact by getting his teammates involved and running the offense instead of playing iso ball all game.

Re: Stephen Curry's overall championship playoff run
Curry had a great run. He hasnt reached the level of the players you listed, but I think he has a chance to show the world if he does something similar again. Lebron and Kobe both repeated. Wade couldnt match it.
Also you meant 11-12 Lebron in the OP. Not 12-13.

Re: Stephen Curry's overall championship playoff run
28.3 ppg in a championship winning playoff run is impressive. He was clearly "the man" and that carries additional weight.

Yao didn't get hurt til Game 3 or 4 and The Rockets made it to the post season damn near without Mcgrady. Still took us to 7. Denver was The Knicks? lol keep reaching.
the Dwight led Magic was better than Houston too, just look who they beat that year out East.

Yao got hurt in game 3, and yeah, I was exaggerating about Denver Nuggets. They were the toughest opponent for the Lakers that year, and imo on par with the '15 Rockets. Kobe was phenomenal in that series.

Yes, Curry doesn't have to rely on free throws to score 30 points. He can get his points within the flow of the game and doesn't have to rely on mass iso flopping to get his.

The Bulls didn't have Rose all season. It isn't like they lost part of their dynamic or synergy because he didn't play all of a sudden after playing a full season. He literally didn't play a game that entire season.
