Curry won 2 with Durant.Lol yeah they had that role player Kevin Durant and all but other than that exact same team.
LeBron won 2 with Wade.
(But no - I don’t think Curry is better than LeBron)

What? I mean you've just gotta be trolling.And how did KD’s team do the last 2 years?
I didn’t mean same roster. Same organization and limits that come with that.
I don’t understand what your issue is. The Warriors as an organization have made 6 of the last 8 finals and won 4 of them. That isn’t easy. Kevin Durant is great. He helped them win 2 of them. He left and his team hasn’t done anything. The team he left just won a title.What? I mean you've just gotta be trolling.
KD should thank Steph for a couple of titlesWhat? I mean you've just gotta be trolling.
Green had some nice comments after the games about Celtics fans. I respect that dude.Everyone thinks Green is an ### but while everyone was celebrating he was spending a minute hugging and talking with the Celtic stars. Props to him, we saw his true colors n
Well now you've moved the goalposts to what you originally were arguing. I agree the Warriors are a great organization.I don’t understand what you’re issue is.

I mean, Durant was a fraction of a toe away from blocking Giannis from getting a title. It’s weird to say his team hasn’t done anything. Nets probably win that series 6 or 7 times out of 10.I don’t understand what your issue is. The Warriors as an organization have made 6 of the last 8 finals and won 4 of them. That isn’t easy.

And the sixers were were one wild shot from preventing Toronto from winning a title. But who cares? They still lost.I mean, Durant was a fraction of a toe away from blocking Giannis from getting a title. It’s weird to say his team hasn’t done anything.

Yeah, he’s move up the charts for me. Pure class.Green had some nice comments after the games about Celtics fans. I respect that dude.
Ehhh, he was the best player on those teams because Steph let him be. Steph's ego (or lack thereof) was a major factor in those championships.Well now you've moved the goalposts to what you originally were arguing. I agree the Warriors are a great organization.
When you say "And how did KD’s team do the last 2 years?" you're implying that KD wasn't a main driving force in both those titles. He was the best player on those teams.
No, he does not at all. Curry is awesome and is unquestionably the 2nd best player of his generation, but the gap between James and Curry is pretty wide.I was the biggest kobe hater and lebron fan at that time. Lebron has accumulated stats and is better overall. But Curry has a legitimate claim to being the player if this era. His style changed the game and he won 4 titles. Nobody could try to make even a half hearted argument that Jordan didn’t define his era and changed basketball. Lebron isn’t the goat.
Jordan defined an era that was arguably the worst since the merger. Offense so bad that they had to move the arc in for three seasons. He changed the game by becoming an international star but he didn't change the way the game is played.I was the biggest kobe hater and lebron fan at that time.

Steph is the best player of his era and Green is pure class? @Capella fire up the 2022/23 thread stat so we can get these hot takes on page 1.Yeah, he’s move up the charts for me. Pure class.

Same # of rings in 6 fewer seasons.I wouldn't say pretty wide anymore. There is something to be said about staying with one team and building a legacy instead of hopping around the league fishing for rings.
I agree with this. Curry "wows" me more than any other player since Jordan. I never thought I'd see someone better than Jordan, but Curry is close. Jordan's numbers are better, and you can't deny that. He's also a better defender. But if Curry does this for another few years I might give him the title. He's amazing.I was the biggest kobe hater and lebron fan at that time. Lebron has accumulated stats and is better overall. But Curry has a legitimate claim to being the player if this era.

wait a week or so and you'll understandWhat do you guys think of Tatum? I was high on him coming into this series, perhaps hoping he'd emerge as the best young player in the NBA, but man he really #### the bed. He's good, perhaps even great, but I was hoping he'd show signs of being an all-timer. Clearly he's not there, and I'm not sure he can be. But he's still young, and he's the 2nd youngest player to 1,500 points behind Kobe Bryant. Thoughts?
There's a lot to improve on. Which can be great when you have a young guy who has already dropped 50 multiple times.What do you guys think of Tatum?

How you doing wikkid? Good to see you bro. Not sure what you mean here. Can you explain?wait a week or so and you'll understand

Will do my friend. Take care.heya. this is a night of champions and that's all we talkin bout. read me back a wk or so if youre that curious
Lol at an Atlanta fan rooting for a team that puts regular season games over country Olympic medals lecturing about class. While Steph ( who I like) was posing, Green was being a gentleman.Steph is the best player of his era and Green is pure class? @Capella fire up the 2022/23 thread stat so we can get these hot takes on page 1.
I’m a Warriors fan, so some of you may think I’m biased, but I think Green is a good dude, but ultra competitive in the moment. There are so many moments on the court that make me cringe, but when the pressure is off he is one of the best interviews in sports IMHO. If all I saw of him was his play on the court I can totally understand why people can’t stand him.Everyone thinks Green is an ### but while everyone was celebrating he was spending a minute hugging and talking with the Celtic stars. Props to him, we saw his true colors n
This has to to be fishing. There is Michael Jordan DNA in every single player who’s entered the league since the 90s.Jordan defined an era that was arguably the worst since the merger. Offense so bad that they had to move the arc in for three seasons. He changed the game by becoming an international star but he didn't change the way the game is played.
There is a lot to be said for it. He is not on LBJ's level all-time, but very few are. and there is zero shame in that. I have banged the drum for years that Curry was better than Durant, and maybe now the non-believers will wake up about that. I always think the take that Durant is better because he was the finals MVP in '17 and '18 on the teams they were both on is a lazy one. I mean, is Shaq better than Kobe all time because he was the finals MVP all three times they won a title together? Nope. I think Curry being the team leader and having zero issues with Durant coming in and taking over like he did at times spoke volumes about what a good leader and teammate Curry is. Most NBA players wouldn't have been able to put their ego aside like Steph did there.I wouldn't say pretty wide anymore. There is something to be said about staying with one team and building a legacy instead of hopping around the league fishing for rings.
I guess people can look at it from two different perspectives- LBJ is the better “player”, has the better overall skill set, is more dominant etc - but Curry had the better “career” for the reasons people mentioned (rings, finals MVPs, doing it with one franchise, leadership, etc.)There is a lot to be said for it.

He should start channeling Steph Curry...What do you guys think of Tatum?

Wait - what happened????
I've watched him since HS here in Michigan. He has always played with a chip on his shoulder, which is why he was a perfect fit on an Izzo-coached MSU team. Total Warrior mentality and huge competitor, and leadership qualities throughout his entire career since his HS days, into college, and now the pros. Probably one of the most generous persons around as well. I love him. Go Green Go 'DubsI’m a Warriors fan, so some of you may think I’m biased, but I think Green is a good dude, but ultra competitive in the moment.

Smart has no shame.....to the point he has to act like he got punched in the nuts?Happy to see the Grant Williams and Marcus Smart flopfest not rewarded with a title. Loved Smart giving up that wide open 3 to Curry late hunched over flopping, shades of when he gave the same look to Klay in the previous game.
Oh come on, you can't really believe this.Jordan defined an era that was arguably the worst since the merger. Offense so bad that they had to move the arc in for three seasons. He changed the game by becoming an international star but he didn't change the way the game is played.
I'm pulling for the Warriors this time around. Seeing Klay come back from those two major injuries is a fun story.
He was here a couple weeks ago and posted in the Joe Bryant HOF thread. Granted he’s not been around much but hopefully he’s just taking a short break from us knuckleheads.He's been MIA for quite a while
Vegas seems to think it too - GS the early favorite to repeat.Come on. Waaaay to early for that.
Curry is light years better then James at this point. Not sure its even debatable actuallyCurry won 2 with Durant.
LeBron won 2 with Wade.
(But no - I don’t think Curry is better than LeBron)
No offense but you are insane with this take.No, he does not at all. Curry is awesome and is unquestionably the 2nd best player of his generation, but the gap between James and Curry is pretty wide.
