    Interesting. Many of his teammates have to be reduced into screensetting roles for them to actually prosper.

    Defensive help?

    Curry uses small-ball to win - he found a way to win with an entirely lower level of defensive help

    He won titles with less rebounding or rim protection or bigs compared to what Lebron needed

    Furthermore, generational offensive talents like Bird, Curry or Jordan that can carry the scoring load allow GM's to surround them with cheap defenders, so they still have #1 defenses... Otoh, guys with more cumbersome offensive games like Luka or Lebron need expensive scorers and shooters to pass to, which leaves less capacity to build a defensive team.

    Curry has had a DPOY caliber player on defense in Dray and plenty of other defensive studs. Warriors had a few number 1 defensive teams in the league and that's WITH Curry being the weak link on defense.

    You are just being disingenuous like always.

    Also, Curry won in 2017 and 2018 with the most STACKED teams of all time (not factoring in teams like the 60's celtics). In 2015, he went against a crippled Cavaliers teams. Curry is a legend, but his resume is overrated. Dude got outplayed by Lebron in every playoff series they faced and then KD came and outplayed Curry two finals in a row (would've been three in a row if KD didn't get hurt in 2019).

    I remember the team used to take him out from the floor once he becomes a defensive liability.
