Does Curry become the goat RS player if Warriors reach 70+ wins this season?

They're currently 16-2 and obviously a lot will depend on health. They also have had an easier schedule then most, still yet to play Jazz, Suns for example. But say they hit 70 wins again, does that put the Chef as the de facto #1 best regular season player of all time? Lets look at some facts.

- Warriors have gotten 67 wins 3 times. Also have 73 wins as the goat RS season
- 67 wins has been reached 13 times in total in NBA history, making Warriors grab 23% of it already

Comparisons:
Steph: 73, 67, 67
MJ: 72, 69, 67

Nobody else comes close. You have situations like Dirk grabbing 67 once, Kawhi once, Shaq/Kobe, once or if you go back far enough with two 67-win seasons. But legitimately speaking, only these two are on the same level of success during the regular season in terms of historical value.

Does the goat RS player become the goat RS player? Yeah I'd say so

[RRR3]

They’re not winning 70. Absolute cupcake schedule so far lmao. Easiest in the league iirc

I mean believe what you want but andre iguodala is truly a lucky charm. He made the finals with the miami heat last year during the 2020 disney bubble, never mind if they lost. Now the warriors became dominant once again because he made his return to their lineup.

[SouBeachTalents]

Even if the Dubs get to 67+ wins, Wilt & Jordan would still have very strong arguments to make this claim. Jordan also has 3 seasons of 67+ wins, 10 scoring titles & 5 MVP’s, while Wilt broke the all time win record twice on two different teams, led the longest winning streak in NBA history, won 4 MVP’s, and in addition to 7 scoring titles led the league in both rebounding and assists. Let’s not forget they’re also the only 2 players to average 30 ppg for their career in the regular season.

If the Warriors continue at this pace, I think Curry locks himself into the top 3, where imo you could argue any of the 3 as the greatest regular season player of all time.

Wilt played in a garbage watered down era, everything he and Bill have done is rightfully overvalued. Otherwise, Bill would be the goat by a massive margin and it wouldn't be close, which nobody even puts him in the conversation of top 3. I don't see how Curry isn't top 3 right now, he has the goat RS season and 2 other legendary seasons.

And Steph only won MVP and yet had more impact than MJ did to lead his team to 73.

[ImKobe]

They could very well win 70 games but Curry's not MJ-level because of his size & defense.

And yet still more impactful and successful if they get to 70.

[ImKobe]

And yet still more impactful and successful if they get to 70.

MJ has had a far more successful RS career dude, don't do this to yourself. RS win totals are based on TEAM success & health/luck. Maybe the Bulls win 70+ 3 years in a row if Rodman (who missed 18 games in '96, 27 games in '97) and Pippen (who missed 38 games in '98) don't miss games?

Settle down there.

We in Nov and yall talking about 70 wins.

Lol of course the warriors struggled two years ago. That is because Steph and Klay were both out hurt. That wasn't because of Iggy.

They didn't bring Iggy back for the regular season. They brought him back to guard stat players in the playoffs (Luka, pg13, Kawhi, LeBron).

Maybe but he's still currently in warriors uniform rn. And it so happened that the dubs are dominating the league as well atm. Which puts things into perspective.

The goat 3-point shooter and the goat 2-point shooter needed the least offensive help to win the most

[iamgine]

GOAT RS player is not determined by wins but by how they play. David Robinson was probably the GOAT regular season player.

I would say that goes to kawhi:

- Best home record ever at 40-1 in 2016

- successful with multiple coaches and franchises, instead of always riding Kerr/draymond like curry does

- VORP leader of 7 different top 3 srs teams (14,15,16,17,19,20,21)

He can't be the best regular season player on the bench. His cheerleading skills aren't up to par.

Kwahi played only 576 RS games in 11 seasons.

His career average is 19.2/6.4/2.9.

Whatever makes you feel better buddy but at the end of the day steph dosn't have enough of anything to be in the convo with bron and mj. I mean damn dude did you see the way bron treated steph that year in the finals? It was like steph was his child. I honestly felt bad for steph.

obviously your looking for something to make you feel better about your guy and you know you can't look to the post season so your hanging your hat on the meaningless reg season. Honestly i could care less about the regular season so i'll concede the argument. Around here we only really care about post season impact anyway.

17-2, but it's definitely been a cupcake schedule playing easy teams like OKC, Rockets, Nets, etc.

Clippers sunday and then monster B2B with the Suns. Hoping for a 2-1 run.

Stephen curry had a superteam mostly composed of several all-stars when they were the team to beat in the league. There were even five of them from the 2018 all-star selections including him when the 2019 finals happened against the raptors. But when most of them were unavailable in their lineup (kd, klay, iggy, boogie) after they were defeated rt, he was only good for the 9th seed. The 2016 postseason showed to us all that the warriors were still formidable even if he missed some games before they met the cavs for the second time in the 2016 finals. Contrary to what his stans believe, what this means is that he didn't carry his team to prominence all alone. He had useful guys like the other players included in the so-called 'death lineup' and hof-bound head coach as well.

[Axe]

Was your argument debunked by tontoz?

No, because it doesn't show that the warriors made the playoffs nor were this dominant while iggy was gone.

[Baller789]

So the injuries to Steph and Klay had a smaller impact than a role player right?

Wrong. They were the 8 seed after the regular season was over, not the 9 seed. Without the play in games they would have been in the playoffs in spite of being 2-7 in the games Curry missed.

Yes he would. Plain and simple. Another MVP coming his way if he does.

Yes it is a footnote dummy. It's just a regular session achievement. It dosnt matter that much

[hold this L]

18-2 vs a 16-win streak Suns in a B2B. Two best teams in the league about to go blow for blow. I'd love Steph to son one of his favorite children CP3, but I don't know if the boys win both of them. I say a split, not sure which teams win where.



As they say...

Overall it's fair, but we're talking about RS. It has that insecure MJ stan fuming that one of Jordan's greatest achievements was essentially
