**NBA FINALS THREAD - RAPTORS DEFY GRAVITY**

[staffsgtdignam]

how is it crazy? HIGHkey with kd out, all eyes were on steph to see if he could get the win on his own. people put asterisks on all of his wins cuz of kyrie injured, then kd came. this was HIS stage. then klay went down. now all pressure was on him, with 1 full quarter left to go and the game pretty much tied. are u serious? a movie couldnt have scripted it better. and he folded. bad. REALLY bad. people will remember this failure for sure. pretend otherwise if u want to.

Dude one player without proper help can’t win a series or even simply a Finals game against a team as good as Toronto for that matter. LeBron was the best player in the world and played his heart out in 2015 and 2018 and still couldn’t win the series in 2015 or even avoid a sweep in 2018. Steph will go down as one of the best shooters of all time, in the same company as Ray and Reggie.

there comes a defining moment in every greats career. this was currys (thus far) it was the one finals appearance where nobody could take anything away from him. i love steph curry. but we all recognized what this series meant to cement his legacy. u gonna pretend legacies dont get altered by failing at the most crucial moment? whatever g.

Everything matters. Failures, successes. I am simply saying he has a 5 year track record that has been practically unseen by any athlete EVER. His legacy is fine. It isn't tarnished anywhere to the degree you are suggesting.

Again, maybe YOU just don't **** with him and never did.

Just won a ring with only one other all star, 2 rings on two different teams. FMVP both times. Stopped two different teams from the 3peat. 2x DPOY. Wins a ring his first season on a new team with only one other player having played in the NBA finals before despite playing ~10 games the previous season. Top 3 in post season points behind Mike and Lebron....

1.) Mike
2.) Kareem
3.) Magic
4.) Larry
5.) Lebron
6.) Kobe
7.) Duncan
8.) Shaq
9.) KD
10.) Kawhi

LeBron behind Magic and Larry?
Kobe in the top 9?
Kawhi in the top 10? (I need to see it for another for five years including dominating the regular season and playoffs)
No Hakeem?
No Bill Russell?
KD in the top 10?

drake has turned into dj khaled

When do they announce the winner for cornball of the year?

 

[blastercombo]

I hope Tebow made that bet

Klay and KD deserve better than Riley's Dad, Mush Mouth and Scumbag Kerr. Glad Boogie isn't a champion for trying to ride coattails.

steph is already the best shooter of all time. thats not the legacy he wants, nor the one anyone disputes. him becoming an all time great player is what is up for debate all around the world. dont pretend u didnt know this. and nobody cares about the excuses. curry has now shown a pattern of not getting the job done in the finals, but instead other players doing it. (hell it was happening this game again klay was CLEARLY carrying steph) those other players werent here for the first time, and he failed. why are yall pretending u dont get that

 

[finessesosa]

at @freeze ready to scrap with everyone

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I still don't know what dubs in two legs on away points is supposed to mean

 

[blastercombo]

Could you imagine? Dude has my lost yet and doesn’t know how. Cash in my dude some way some how

 

[da hen]

3-2 in finals ain’t no dynasty

 

[kilroythedon]

@freeze warriors trash son.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Imagine if the warriors shut down Oracle by losing every single home game in the finals and having Kyle lowry celebrate on their court

He is already an All-Time Great. That is set in concrete.

What are you pretending NOT to get that?
