If we're being real... The emergence of Steph Curry saved the league from what stood to be a lull period of Bron running the table. I wouldn't have minded watching it... But the existence of GSW was the perfect marketing for an entity to oppose Bron.One day, I would love to see the real transparency about the entire dynamics for the Bron, KD, Steph & Kyrie thing. These guys are tied together. 3 of these 4...have given up trying to correct the record and be honest about it. It’s futile at this point lol. The machine is bigger than them.
A lot of what drove KD & Kyrie to each other is LeBron. And his shadow influence. They try to replicate him, without even knowing it. To varying effects. Good and bad. He’s the nexus in this. While Steph is the outside agitator, that shifted a lot of ****, that was supposed to be.
Ppl say the league is too “buddy buddy” these days. But there is real, competitive tension between a couple of these camps.
Before Draymond got bought off, he was in it too lol.
The Thunder were not going to be able to do it; I never want to count out the Rockets purely because of the high variance style and that 2018 team was serious, but I honestly feel that without GSW we would have saw Bron rattle off like three straight in Cleveland.
