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

[Spurs m8]

Because we all know the double standards and mental gymnastics the stans use to prop up their boy

3ball not watching basketball anymore since the last decade makes me doubt his credibility as a worthy poster

except I provide video evidence, aka body cams of my analysis.


The rules say that Iggy and Kawhi can't "affect a player's movement" in any way by hand-checking - so lebron has plenty of room, aka hands-off defense:








Otoh, Jordan's movement is significantly impeded by legal hand-checking - hard game:






Also, Lebron enjoys a wide open paint on every possession due to 3-point shooting teammates and defensive 3 seconds:






Otoh, Jordan faced a packed paint because he didn't have 3-point shooting teammates and paint-camping was legal:






It couldn't be clearer - Jordan played in a tougher environment - today's game looks like child's play with the wide open spacing and hands-off defense.. It's a joke..

That's why most pundits, coaches and also current or former players say Jordan would average 40 in today's game.

exactly.. a herky-jerky jumper with bad footwork - looks like beginner jumpshooting skill

not smooth or fluid... lebron is like deontay wilder and curry is the fluid fury

AND a 4th chip incoming? This is just pouring more dirt on MJ's coffin now.

RIP Jordan's GOAT status

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

Because he was never the best player in the league.

stephen curry doesn't have one memorable playoff moment in 5 combined Finals runs. 20 different series, not one sequence anyone can point to and say wow, remember when stephen curry had the shot, block, steal, buzzer beater, game saving defense or clutch rebound. this is what define legends
