Why was David Lee an All-Star over Steph Curry in 2013?

[Akhenaten]

its crazy how revisionism happens for this type of stuff.

i've seen people bunch '15 Curry with '16 Curry as if they're even on the same planet.

People are now believing Curry was the best player in the '15 Finals based on the things hes doing now. even if subconsciously.

most people didn't give a shit enough about '13 Curry or the '13 Warriors to even know about this. as if he should've automatically been an all-star.

24 points, 9 assists on 47% shooting ain't nothing to scoff at, he was a their best player in 13-14, nothing revisionist about that

Steph's stats pre-2013 All-Star Break:

[MP.Trey]

steph curry is a top 5 defender at his position

Because Lee was having a great year up through the break and other guards in the West were better than Curry that year.

Reminds me how lackluster Curry's career is.

He's had 1 great season, probably 2 after this one. People forget he's almost 28, and had a performance of 22ppg on 40% shooting against the Spurs less than 3 years ago in the playoffs.

Nobody ever talks about his lackluster past, because he looks like a beta 13 year old who's just getting started. Dudes pushing 30.

yeah, we have to agree that he is a late bloomer.......how come he suddenly is that great at the age of 28 ?
other superstars tend to dominate straight outta college or HS
