Kobe Bryant told Lebron after the Lakers did not make it to the playoffs in 2019 that leadership is not about passing the ball to people and blaming them for missing shots or yelling at people.

bro, but you know Kobe yelled at players all the time right? You have seen the Kobe-swaggy p video no? And that he yelled a lot more in the years the missed the playoffs, especially on rookies that seem lost half the time

cheesy grin grin grin grin. He's definitely a bum.

Curry needed 20 assists against Nets to influence the game instead of the 10 he got. And he should never ever suffer a shooting slump because any day he does he is not fit to be an NBA player. Unlike Lebron that has always been the best shooter the NBA has ever seen and has never suffered a shooting slump. Imagine if Klay Thompson was playing he would have carried the team like he always does. Klay Thompson has never suffered a shooting slump in 2018 and 2019 like Curry. Curry is a bum.

He had retired by then so his head was clear and he realized his mistakes. Curry's form of leadership is by example so when he is not playing well you can see it in his body language. But that does not mean he is not a leader or that he does not make others around him much better. He just does not do it by forming activity like Pat Beverly. He is more like Tim Duncan or Kawhi.

Curry has no multiplier effect on the team shocked
Is it the same curry that upset 57 won Denver and the mighty spurs to 6 games?
The great cp3 that has multiplier effects where did he take lob city to?
Abeg it's just 3 games
birdman:


I think steady986 is talking ala CP3. Curry is a fearsome offensive weapon. But he has no multiplier effect on the rest of the team. We never realized this because having Klay with Curry lets the ball flow freely anyways. I dont think this is a knock on Curry anyhow because Lillard is the same way. And like you said how do you motivate a Wiggins? CP3 would definitely force the issue with Wiggins and Oubre, find them easy buckets and hold them accountable.

The fact that you brought up the bolded is telling. Maybe Curry needs to be less nice and easy going?
Just that vocal presence on the court and in the locker room. I saw how DG was explaining a situation to Wiseman in their game against the Bucks even though he wasn't kitted. DG would definitely bark at Oubre and Wiggins if them mess up, I know he's that kind of person. Or at least him go look them bad eye.

Lol. I know you people love Curry so much that you'll say anything to defend him, but let's face it, he has some flaws in his game. Everybody does. Well, maybe except for LeBron smiley

I suppose cp3 has led a team to the final since he has more multiplier effect than curry.

If curry was black skinned and had nigger swag like Lillard would we even be having this discussion

Find them easy buckets? Common. cheesy. You have obviously not been watching GSW games. Those guys have been getting open looks but end up bricking it. The point is @steady986 obviously either doesn't quite understand the game or he's just been looking at the box score. cheesy grin. So you better go check the games out before making your argument. And well you mentioned holding them accountable. As as how? You mean hold grown men accountable, when they cannot help themselves but build bricks? Say something else, abeg. cheesy

Lol. But LeBron has; since you're the one that brought up LeBron. And everybody knows that Draymond Green has been the leader and playmaker of this GS team since they became a dynastic franchise. All Curry ever needed to do was score the basketball.

We would still have this discussion. Lillard hasnt won anything, Curry is a 3 time champ.

When you bring up cp3 not having a ring, you are really highlighting the issue. Would Cp3, Klay and Durant win a ring? Most people would say yes. Can Curry win a ring on any of the teams Cp3 has been on? Most would say no. So ring has little to do with this.

Curry is a lights out shooter. He is a decent PG. CP3 is decent shooter. His playmaking skills will work in any era of basketball.

I actually thought some of them watched those games. Curry was dropping dimes. In the Nets game alone, he probably would have had 20 assists. Because he is not pointing fingers and directing traffic does not mean he is not a leader or a point god. lol. Lionel Messi and Curry have similar leadership styles. They rather lead by doing their own role perfectly. Tim Duncan is the same way. Hakeem Olajuwon as well.

Lebron faced a warriors team with an injured Curry, injured Bogut, injured Iguodala and (Suspended Draymond from the game 5 that would have ended the series).Kawhi faced an injured Klay and KD. Lebron faced an injured Dragic and Bam Adebayo. Injuries are part of the game.

Warriors won because of a deep bench where the key players were Barbosa and Livingston averaging 5 points and maresse speights averaging 3.7 points grin grin

Curry lead the warriors in points scored by at least 10points per game in the 2014/2015 playoffs, lead in assist and steals while also averaging 5 rebounds per game.
But winless Cp0 has a greater multiplier and would probably have won with this same team grin

Curry has his flaws, but his legacy is set, he has earned a free pass for the rest of his career in my biased eyes.

Banter is allowed, but outright disrespect to the legacy of LeBron, KD, Kawhi and steph is not welcomed.

The same logic that did not give FMVP to Anthony Davis was used to dash Iguodala a FMVP he did not deserve in ten life times. But because the other player did not grow up in the slums and play basketball to buy a house for his mum or take his family out of the hood, he is not a leader.

Guy, while I do not support the dissing of Curry and do agree with your later submission that Curry's position among the greats is secured, Iggy deserved that 2015 finals MVP. No contest there.
