Android17: 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 |

birdman: 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 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: 1 Like |

birdman: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. |

Android17:Lol. DG the instigator |

etidy: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 3 Likes |

Android17:Lol. Until Curry has led this team to the finals don't mention him in the same sentence when it comes to carrying a team. |

steady986: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 1 Like |
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 1:31pm On Dec 28, 2020 |
Find them easy buckets? Common. . 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. . 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. birdman: 6 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 2:45pm On Dec 28, 2020 |
etidy: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. |
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 6:48pm On Dec 28, 2020 |
etidy: 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. 1 Like |

steady986: This team compares to which Lebron team exactly? |
Re: The NBA Begins by Android17: 6:57pm On Dec 28, 2020 |
steady986: Okay. So Lebron has not done anything Curry is not already doing for this GSW team. Gotit. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Android17: 7:01pm On Dec 28, 2020 |
benji93: 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. 2 Likes |

birdman: Curry won 67-15 and a ring with these players in 2014-15. Bring the Clippers teams as well as the Rockets team CP3 played on. We need receipts now. 19 Leandro Barbosa 40 Harrison Barnes 12 Andrew Bogut 30 Stephen Curry 31 Festus Ezeli C 23 Draymond Green 7 Justin Holiday 9 Andre Iguodala 1 Ognjen Kuzmić 10 David Lee PF 34 Shaun Livingston 20 James Michael McAdoo 4 Brandon Rush 5 Marreese Speights 11 Klay Thompson 4 Likes |

Android17:Lol. Because he faced a Cavs team that didn't have Love and Kyrie. And then when he lost the next year he went and recruited KD. Lol |

He beat what was in front of him. Cp0 had an arguably better Clipper squad and didn't smell conference final steady986: 4 Likes |

steady986: 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. 2 Likes |
Re: The NBA Begins by etidy: 8:37pm On Dec 28, 2020 |
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 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 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. 3 Likes

etidy: 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. 2 Likes |

Android17: 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. |
