I wasn't saying that Curry SHOULD be considered better but I said MOST would consider him better. The media always hypes the latest great and with a few rings Curry would be majorly overhyped, much like he is being overhyped in this thread.

Re: Curry is better than Lebron ever was
When curry doesn't play or when he is out the entire game? Because when curry goes out the other starters hit the bench as well so that stat can be misleading...if you are talking an entire game then it's different.wailuaFC wrote:No they wouldn't, they rank damn near the bottom of the league in offense once curry leaves the court.

I was looking at defense rating and offensive rating of the other players on GS and 2 of them are damn near the same offensive rating as curry...and they would still have the top rated defense....
Re: Curry is better than Lebron ever was
I don't agree with that contrarian label. I'm aware of the irony of disagreeing with you but it is just label slapped on me because guys like Wailua had nothing else to come back with. I like to argue but that is pretty much everyone on this board.rtiff68 wrote:Attack your character?Bartman wrote:rtiff68 wrote:

Batman literally disagrees with people just for the sake of disagreeing with people. It's his trolling schtick.
I like him a lot better when he just talks hoops.
Attacking my character to boost your image is a sign that you should throw in the towel and concede the victory to Riley. It's over buddy. I like that you put up a good fight but it is over now.
I said I like you better when you talk hoops, which is true.
I also said that you often disagree with people just for the sake of disagreeing-- something you have admitted to in the past (how much you enjoy arguing).
Are you disagreeing with the notion that you're a contrarian?

Give what up?wailuaFC wrote:Riley give it up.
I get it that you and Rtiff are buddies, and you felt compelled to white knight him because I exposed him, but you saw all of my posts.
I have mantained the same thing throughout the thread. Curry had better stats this year offensively, but he still isnt better ogffensively than LeBron.
Rtiff, because of the homer he is disagrees, but he is using wordplay to mask that. He continues to be ambiguous because he is trying to save his credibility.
He wants desperately to just say yes, he thinks Curry has surpassed LeBron, but he cant because he knows how badly it make him look. He should have been honest from the get go instead of playing the silly games. I exposed him, but that is OK because you and many others will continue the white knighting to save him.
No matter what, at the end of the day, I rebumped all of my threads to prove my consistency in posting. MeanwhileRtiff will still talk in circles, continue to ambiguous, and continue to exposed by a superior poster.

If you truly believe that riley "won" this debate (or has even made sense), and that I'm "the biggest homer on the board," then consider me very surprised.

"LeBron is a better offensive player. Not only do the stats bear that out, but watch a game"
After I showed you that the stats showed the opposite, you still disagreed for multiple posts before finally conceding.
I also like how you claimed to have "made me admit that LeBron was the better player overall," and I responded by simply referring you back to the same Page in this thread...Page 1...
...where I explicitly stated that LeBron is the better overall.
Like Wailua said, you need to re-read this thread.

The difference is I've never argued that you said something you didn't whereas this entire time you've gone about inventing arguments that rtiff and I have supposedly been using, ie creating strawmen.rileymartin wrote:Feel free to find somewhere where i said Curry didn't have better stats this year.wailuaFC wrote:Feel free to find somewhere where either rtiff or I said curry was better then lebron, not statistically or offensively, but overall betterrileymartin wrote:

Re: Curry is better than Lebron ever was
I was speaking in terms of career and overall. Since you decided to switch gears and start posting in a vacuum,I conceded that "this season" Curry had better stats. However, just like I said on page one, LeBron is the better offensive player than Curry.rtiff68 wrote:The first page in this thread.rileymartin wrote:Feel free to find somewhere where i said Curry didn't have better stats this year.wailuaFC wrote: Feel free to find somewhere where either rtiff or I said curry was better then lebron, not statistically or offensively, but overall better
