So per my mans alley-oop logic, Blake & D'undre the top two guys in the league?
EDIT: New Question, is LeBron the second greatest player of all time? So, has Steph Curry overtaken

easy to be a great defender when you are allowed to molest dudes and not get called for fouls. He once didn't commit a foul for two weeks... he was a better help defender then one on one defender for sure.agreed that he was a good defender but he's wasn't no lock down kawhi type dude that people made him out to be that locked down positions 1-4.1. How are you JUST seeing this
2. Bron has always been an overrated defender. He was good from about 08-13....but that "he can defend 1-5" nonsense was a false narrative.
3. Steph Curry is a better basketball player than LeBron James......THIS YEAR

Lebron can guard multiple positions though.
He's guarded from DRose to Paul Pierce to Durant. His defense has fallen but I can't say his defense was overrated.
Steph is a better shooter and better scorer than Lebron and that's it. If his shot ain't falling he doesn't do much else, like we saw in game 1. Lebron does way more on the court than him.
Like we saw in game 1, he also lost cause he needs more help

Where did I say that foot work has nothing to do with a good post move? I'll I'm saying is that LeBron compensates for his lack of footwork with his size and strength. Most of the league tends to travel with most basketball moves so using that as an example is moot.
You don't know Hakeem very well or the dream shake if you think that's one move
I used "Dream Shake" as a point of emphasis, not a "ends all".
Kid? I'm probably one of the older posters in this thread. FTR, I'm not even a LeBron fan, I respect his game, but no way considered a fan. I just find it hilarious how you guy "nit-pick" LeBron and say it's "Curry's League" overwhelmingly.

Doesnt compensate him enough when its a pretty unanimous idea that Lebron sucks at posting up.

Is he not the first ever unanimous MVP or did I make that up?
-He lead GSW to most wins in a season in league history.
-leader in jerseys and Shoes sales
-had 1 of the greatest seasons in NBA history this season.
-2016 WCF and Game 1 of finals were most watched game in the history of the NBA.
All signs point that Curry is the face of the league now [emoji]128056[/emoji][emoji]127861[/emoji]

He can't guard legit post player 4s and 5s. David West was giving him that work a few years ago in the playoffs.

He's absolutely a versatile defender. But the media made it seem like he was the best defender in the game at the time. He wasn't.
Steph still contributed when his shot wasn't falling. Dude's shooting Gravity is a huge contribution. That allows for all the back cuts we saw in game 1. He also had like 6 assist and 5 rebounds...while playing good defense.
STEPH STILL CONTRIBUTES AS WELL WHEN HIS SHOT ISNT FALLING. Y'all gotta stop that narrative.

What about the other 10 post ups where all he tried to do was lower his shoulder?

He'll probably visit miami to get some injections and play beastly all of a sudden.
