LeBron beat the only unanimous MVP

[Vino24]

In the finals. That unanimous mvp was on a 73 win team (winningest team in history)

You mean this guy?





Beating Barkley is a lot tougher obviously

Curry can't make you tired... It's like Floyd Mayweather freshness all game for Curry's opponents..

thats why everyone beats him at the championship level (16', 19')... Curry even needed a last resort - an 8 ppg bench player - to beat Iverson in 15'

Curry last year had a better finals than 96-98 MJ

Did the only unanimous MVP play like a unanimous MVP?

[3ball]

Did lebron's 2nd option outplay their 1st option?

With Kyrie outplaying Curry - Lebron only had to outplay Klay?...

That's what everyone raves about?.. lebron winning with an equal-scoring sidekick (no carry job)?

Did the only unanimous MVP play like a unanimous MVP?

did until he faced Lebron

did until he faced Lebron

He had a surgically-repaired leg that needed rest after a grueling WCF

nope, never had surgery


twas a minor strain with over 2 months to heal

to be fair Stephen Curry shrinks in the playoffs, he's 32yo and has no iconic playoff moments

The only 'unanimous mvp' to have such feat.

I disagree, but I can go another way with it - Kyrie's 27-point attack wore him down, especially having to be ready/on his toes to defend quick jumpers

That wore Curry down so he had less juice for offense (sidenote: MJ did the same thing to Kobe in the 98' all-star game, with less success than Kyrie had vs Curry)

And this happens with teams too - the team that is more on their heels defensively will have less juice for offense and lose the attrition battle..

ultimately, lebron's passive shooting and long-dribbling doesn't shift defenses/wear down teams like the ball movement he faces at the championship level, so opponents always have more capacity to go off offensively... it looks like lebron's team is playing poor defensively, aka below their normal standard and underperforming weaker defensive teams, but it's just Bron-ball losing the attrition battle and not fighting fire with fire.. ultimately, the best defense is a good offense

See how all the arguments tie together? It's the sign of validity

Jordan LOST with an all star teammate in 1990 and 1995

LeBron won without any all stars in 2016

Why are you comparing a loser with all stars (1990 and 1995 MJ) to a winner without any all stars (2016 LeBron)?

[Docs Orders]

did until he faced Lebron

[Stanley Kobrick]

did until he faced Lebron

3.7 assists per game over the course of a 7-game series. You'd think because his scoring dipped so much, his assists would have gone up. nope, the exact opposite. more turnovers than assists. quite a letdown this guy was for his team after the regular season he had. but that's playoff Stephen Curry for you

Stupid statement gets a stupid response.
