Madness, if LeBron and the Cavs win the title you will have this thread stuck up your ass. That would be depressing as hell.

In your opinion. And, if you remember correctly, I said " a reasonable argument could be made," which is a far cry from "it's a lock."
Curry was better statistically (thank you for finally admitting that), and one could reasonably argue he's the better offensive player. It's debatable. You can make a strong argument for LeBron, you can make a strong argument for Steph.
Also, let's not pretend like Curry is a flash in the pan this season. He broke his own NBA record for made 3's while shooting an outstanding .443 from deep, and he's finished 6th in assists two years in a row...while also serving as his team's primary ball handler, distributor, and scorer.
Like I've been saying the entire thread, LeBron is the best player in the game, but one could argue that Curry is currently the better offensive player. That is all.
Curry's greatest season would rank 11th behind 10 of LeBron's season. He isn't a flash in the pan, but he is no LeBron either.
Ironically enough, the area where you discounted Curry the most (attention by opposing defenses) is actually the area where I consider Curry to have the biggest advantage. Like I said earlier, when you're playing a team with LeBron James, the plan is to pack it in and force him to shoot jump shots. When Curry is one the floor, the defense is stretched out to half court, which creates all kinds of looks/opportunities for Steph's teammates. The Warriors were 4th in points in the paint this past year not because they have a back to the basket big who can score on the block consistently, or because they have a perimeter player who is an elite finisher; rather, they have a guy who spreads the defense so thin, that slashing wings end up with wide open lay-ups off of cuts.
You pick your poison as a defense: you let Steph shoot, you let another wide open shooter shoot, or you surrender lay-ups.
Curry's biggest advantage over LeBron is his presence on the court? LOL at Wailaui for actually agreeing with this bullshit.

Re: Curry is better than Lebron ever was
Question, is it lebron receiving doubles at the three point line not even on screen actions but actually being met at the three point line by two defenders? Or is it lebron that's being allowed to catch the ball inside of 8 ft from the hoop in single coverage?rileymartin wrote:LOL at this Warriors homer rtiff for actually making a statement like this...rtiff68 wrote:He's the better the 3pt shooter, the better shooter overall, the better ball handler (you've conveniently avoided this), and arguably the better passer (the numbers the past two seasons say Curry is better definitively, you claim "it isn't close" based upon your eyeball test).rileymartin wrote:

We get it. Curry arguably had better stats than LeBron this year. LeBron is still the better offensive player, and he has proven that over the long haul.

Just come clean...you were white knighting for your boy, and it made you look kind of bad. We all make mistakes. Don't compound yours.

Whose presence on the court is more impactful? Curry or LeBron?
Are you still in white knight mode, or are you going to tell the truth finally?

Don't live in the moment so much kiddo.

Re: Curry is better than Lebron ever was
What ambiguity? Curry is being picked up by multiple players before he even crosses the three point line, lebron is being allowed to catch the ball in the post in single coverage (with a help defender dancing in the paint but it's not a hard double). Those just as much facts as it is that lebron is out playing curry by a large marginrileymartin wrote:Oh, now you DON'T like the ambiguity lol.wailuaFC wrote:Good job answering my questionrileymartin wrote:
