why doesn't Curry's 5 straight Finals in West get praised like Lebron's 8 in East

[3ball]

and Curry actually winning 3 of the 5 Finals isn't praised as much as Lebron's 3 in 9 Finals

aka double standard, bias, LeFraud

ultimately, we know that 1-star teams routinely won the East and so Lebron had an unfair advantage with a "big 3", while Curry's big 3's were facing other big 3's or big 2's in the tougher West

[GrayGoat]

That’s two more than MJ could manage

[red1]

except the warriors were and are praised for making 5 straight finals...


I caught the finals last year I think I'd actually remember...

Because it’s the only manufactured criteria that could be used to prop up a career loser like LeBron.

curry should get the same or more praise than lebron for giving teams a higher ceiling (better Finals record)..

being good at winning the conference finals is inferior to being good at winning Finals

Because Durant was the best player on them warriors

Because Durant was the best player on them warriors

being the best player doesn't matter apparently - look at Lebron's ring this year, or Kobe's first 2 rings, or Shaq's 3rd and 4th, or virtually everyone except the goat (who was the best player in 6/6 championship runs)..

only the goat was the best player in every Finals - Curry can't be measured by that standard because no one else is (lebron isn't being knocked for getting out-produced by AD)

1-9

Well this is awkward...

OP didn't know Curry teamed up with the former MVP for 2 of those runs and top 3 player in the league at the time.

And...5 is less than 8. The modern record is 8

LBJ = 8
Curry = 5
Shaq = 3
MJ = 3

Got it?

Lebron joined with a previous Finals MVP and #2 PER in the league then lost with a fully healthy squad and got outscored by Jason Terry in the NBA Finals.

And...5 is less than 8. The modern recolrd is 8 Finals appearances


LBJ = 8
Curry = 5
Shaq = 3
MJ = 3

curry and others should get more praise than lebron for giving teams a higher ceiling (better Finals record), aka better teams... higher ceiling = higher long run championship expectation = better player

lebron does a great job of dribbling his way to a certain caliber of team - but his ball-dominance prevents the best brand of ball, thereby limiting team ceiling and long run championship expectation (struggles to win on championship level, aka 18-31, worst of modern era)... indeed - being good at winning the conference finals is inferior to being good at winning Finals (the best team ceiling)

got it?

because we can't find one iconic playoff moment from stephen curry in all of his career

when did lebron hit the big shot in the Finals?

Fact: 17 years and 10 Finals but no big shots in the Finals

Conclusion: lebron isn't good enough to hit big shots or "takeover" in the clutch on the championship level




btw - Shooter - you were destroyed above.. checking for a pulse...
