He also won finals MVP as a rookie so theres that.

Steph was whatever the first 5 years of his career.

If we’re comparing total body of work I don’t see how Steph can surpass Magic

Curry doesn’t make the top 5 goat discussion
 
After warriors win these finals, Steph will finally be the greatest pg of all time. STAMPED
Other than scoring, what exactly does Steph do better than Magic?
Magic has won at every level: HS, College, NBA, Olympics.
Magic was a better facilitator, rebounder, defender (though he was about average), and leader.
He wasn't the best man-to-man defender, but he was solid team defender.

I mean, it's certainly not set in stone. Steph still has a couple of years to catch Magic.
But I do agree, Steph is probably the best pound-for-pound PG that we've ever seen.

Neither does magic, so theres that.

No idea why you said this because it means nothing. He was dealing with multiple injuries throughout those years. Stop looking how he WAS instead of what he IS now.

2 MVPs (one unanimous), Playoff OT points scored record, Greatest 2nd half in playoff history, and currently has a 3-1 finals record in comparison to Magic's 5-4 record.
 
Yeah, it’s an award for the best player in the most important series of games there is in the NBA. That does seem kind of important to me...
Nah. Iggy wasn't the best player in any facet of 2015.

In the same breath, Bron score tops in every category and lost to someone on the other winning team.

You never know. When it's based on these stupid voters, anything can happen. These voters are trash. And unqualified.

Scoring is the best most important part of basketball.
 

What’s your take on what happened between Kawhi and the Spurs?

It’s weird to me the organization that really started this whole rest phenomenon was trying to rush their franchise player. Then later Kawhi running away from Spurs officials so he didn’t have to talk to them. Funny stuff.
 
Warriors in a sweep or a 4-1 finals. Cousins is in the gym and kd bout to to sleep on this easy finals so Curry would go off and KD has a smooth transaction if he leaves... RIP raps. Houston was the only threat these playoffs, they lost.
 
I got gsw in 5 maybe 6 if kawhi goes ham. I think this will be the series that removes all the doubters. He's playing with house money so he needs to leave it all on the court. I got a homeboy that swears Jimmy Butler is better than Leonard and he's been saying that for years. At this point i think it's trolling.
I want to see them without Durant and cousins, it'll make it way more interesting. Cousins might play though. But i think that kd is out for the season but they don't want to release that info as a mind game. They want they opponent to fear that he could come back any game.
 
this still one of my favorites


Even though I hate the Warriors, Steph is a basketball genius, the best shooter of all time, and the best ball handler in the league (Sorry Kyrie). Most all stars today are run of the mill players that will hardly make a blip on the radar of NBA history. Steph, on the other hand, is a generational talent that changed the course of the NBA and will be among the all time greats.
 
I still remember when the talk was about how Steph was on the decline and entering the twilight of his career. Could no longer create separation. Was getting locked up by laundry Shamet. Couldn't guard anybody without fouling. It was legit two weeks ago :lol:. Now he has 5 more elite seasons left after the blazers series. Never change, NT
