Won't know how it responds until he actually runs up and down the court with game speed.
 
I dont believe that if you strapped someone up to a lie detector machine, that anyone could truthfully say that Curry is individually better than LeBron James. Lets be honest....what people post on NT arent always truthful opinions.
nobody has ever posted such things. Classic case of making ish
Happens alot here


Anyways. This series is over. Raptors 2019 nba Champs
 
Steph is one of the few offensive players who has great impact while missing shots. Missing shots is still obviously not a good thing tho but to same if he's missing shots, he's worthless is a bad take.
Currys bad games are still all star impact, that's the difference.
No one saying missing shots is a good thing.

Or ima bad father.

:rollin :rollin

why though

Dude wanted one last hurrah before he knew he had to hang them up. Let him live and get his Kobe last game on.

Meanwhile Igoudala, Draymond, Demarcus, and Klay had more assists than Steph

But y’all out here trying to crown him GPGOAT

If this is your response to everything posted, you must be missing the point which is that Steph out there, regardless of if he’s hitting shots or not his mere presence is getting the rest of the squad buckets and assists. While Steph is certainly a PG, his role on the court is more than being a floor general because of his shooting ability.
 
nobody has ever said curry is better then LeBron, overrall career wise. An individual season or so, yes. There's a huge difference between the two.

I was just responding to someone who said that people have been and ARE saying it.

I dont come into NBA threads enough over the year (in spite of being in here a lot lately), to know whether or not that is a lie.
 
I think the scrutiny and criticism these dudes get is like a badge of honor. Think about how dudes hated on Kobe, Lebby, now Steph and hell even Tim Duncan. Folks are just naturally going to hate on the top players of different eras because they routinely knocked their favorite team out of the playoffs and had more success. Ain’t nobody talking for pages about Dirk or KG :lol:

Our father’s probably had the same energy for Magic, Bird, MJ, etc. It’s just a changing of the guard. Now that Lebby is washed and a full-time father/executive producer, he had to pass the torch to someone and now it’s Steph. Just the way things go.

Edit- I also think this issue is magnified by the increased exposure to slander/praise due to the emergence of social media and the 24 hour news cycle.

I hated Jordan when he ran the league
 
The whole “Steph better than Bron” was just a narrative created by Lebron haters who get more pleasure out of hoping that man fails than watching the actual sport of basketball. It is what it is. If that’s what makes them happy let them believe it.

People hated Tim Duncan? I never seen the hate. People like him and Kawhi seem impervious to hate

One guy you left out: Shaq. Man I hated that MFer when he was on the Lakers. Level of dominance was just unfair. And I didn't appreciate watching his game either. Now I miss back to the basket ball.

I felt like Tim Duncan was hated on for his game being “boring” and as a result, he was greatly under appreciated. Also the folks like MVP MVP and @BIG LEEMELONE , the President and Vice President of the Tim Duncan PF vs C Club had arguments on deck any time he was praised. Maybe I’m conflating under appreciation with hate but for as great as he was, due to his demeanor he didn’t seem to get the praise he deserved. Just my opinion, though. Definitely never heard anything about Kawhi aside from the Uncle Dennis debacle.

I thought about including him but I don’t know if he was disrespected as much as the others because as you alluded to, his dominance simply couldn’t be ignored. Certainly one of the all-time greats and broke a lot of folks’ hearts so I’ll allow it. I similarly want to watch more vintage Shaq games because I don’t think I appreciate it as much since I was Team Kobe.
 
I’m a Steph guy who doesn’t think he is the better overall player between him and Lebron. I just think Steph doesn’t get the respect he deserves. Think about 90s MJ was the Top Dog. 00’s Shaq, Kobe, Tim Duncan, 2010s it’s been Lebron........KD, Steph.........everybody else
