Roland17:Being a top 10 all time player in your team's franchise history does not amount to a sure Hall of fame consideration.Whether or not a player will be admitted into a hall of fame player in the future depends on his achievements with respect to his peers.His role in his team's championship run, if any,his personal statistics,including all star selection.All team and individual achievements are weighed and compared to that of his equally eligible peers. |

birdman: This is incredibly false. Kawhi in SAS, is yet to be the player Tony Parker was to them and Curry has already eclipsed Tony Parker in the all-time rankings for PGs. Would GSW swap Curry for Kawhi? They won't even swap him for Lebron. I thought KD was being courted by the Clippers when CP3 was there, why did he not go there? Now IT, Kyrie would have won a ring with GSW in Curry's stead? What in the last 4 years of basketball gives you the boldness to say so? So which is the system player between Lebron and Kobe if I am to go by your leanings? Which of them was more dominant over time? Kawhi is a definite top 5 player in the NBA currently but that is where it stops. If he continues at this rate in 2 more seasons we may revisit where he stands but I can't run amok in extolling him beyond what he has actually achieved. James Harden was a bad game 5 OT away from outplaying him over the course of 6 games and I am not going to make him a God because of his NBA Finals MVP when Iguodala has one as well and is not even an Angel. 2 Likes |

Eruditor:FACTS .I like the fact that u actually took nothing away from kawhi yet u actually spewed the truth. Consistentcy is key.it is the cardinal proof of a player's abilities. vital for not just a season or two but for the better part of a player's career. Its sad how most fans tend to jump on the bandwagon after a player has lyk one or two good seasons.smh |

Eruditor: That was how somebody on Twitter was saying Ray Allen is a better shooter than Curry and was better in his prime. I felt like entering my phone and giving him bïtch slaps. I was this close to sending thugs to his area. Any PG will win a ring with GSW?? Na Curry I dey blame for having that baby face and KD too 2 Likes |

Decale: Curry is the greatest shooter of all time, still not better than kawhi. And the bolded part says a lot about you. |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 2:14am On Sep 14, 2017 |
Eruditor: nah, man, take the emotion out of it a little. Are you saying Kyrie on Warriors, or IT, or CP3 or Lebron or Kawhi on Warrios will not win a ring? Cmon now |
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 10:42am On Sep 14, 2017 |
birdman: Only Lebron will win a ring with GSW and he would do it playing his own way and not Kerr's. GSW will not win near 73 games in a regular season with Lebron. Draymond Green would not be the player that he is, playing with Lebron. Read me clearly; take Curry off GSW last season and leave the rest of the team with KD (any of the PGs you mentioned above) and the rest of the roster against Cavs. Cavs win in 6 or 7. Curry took 2 almost 3 games away from SAS in 2013/14 (their championship year) dropping 44 and 42 in 2 of the 6 games. A 51-win GSW team because of him if you remember (first year they truly handed their franchise to him). To put this feat in context, that same year, Lebron and his Miami Heatles lost 4-1 to the same Spurs. 4 of those losses were blow-outs! I cringe to see the other names you mentioned there even as I wonder how many of them control the type of gravity SC does. How many free-way dunks did Iggy and KD have these playoffs simply because defenders would rather stop Curry from shooting a 3? I said it before, Kawhi is a phenomenal robot but he simply does not do enough to add anything to GSW; The skill set he brings is not wanting in the team. Green defends more positions than him. KD is a better offensive weapon. Curry has more gravity. Klay is more precise a spot-up shooter and Kawhi is not a center standing at 6'7. He does not pass the ball better than any of the starters bar Klay (and this is even debatable). Put Curry on SAS as PG, and you would see how good a shooter 'long-arms' Green is. Put Curry on SAS and see Aldridge make 25ppg on 15spg. Heck, Spurs did very well against so many teams (Rockets) without Kawhi, KD went down and GSW started winning by greater margins and with more consistency. I fear to know the struggles KD would go through without Curry on this team. For evidence, watch GSW VS OKC 2016 WCF. And just incase, you won't watch it, KD loses the ball far easily when he is doubled or tripled. GSW used that strategy in that SCs 46 point win against OKC at Chesapeake. We reverted to it in games 5, 6 and 7 against OKC in the comeback. Without the gravity that Curry brings to the team, thus freeing KD, sure KD would get buckets (he is mega-skilled). But he would do it at far less efficiency and with a large margin of error. 2 Likes |

Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 11:59am On Sep 14, 2017 |
Eruditor: while i disagree with your conclusion, I agree that having defense paying attention to Curry opens up things for Green and co. I still believe the team is so loaded up that the other players I mentioned would have the same effect, but I see your point ...phenomenal robot. choi! 1 Like |
