OP have you watched Monk at all? He's easily top 10-15 in the league and someone I could see winning MVP next year.

this doesn't mean as much when a minimum of 49 of those losses were also without klay.

Agreed - it's a fact that teams who don't rely solely on talent and play a good brand of basketball can still win games when their talent is reduced.

So a team that moves the ball to get good shots will still move the ball without their star, while a team that uses 1 ball-dominator will be lost without that ball-dominator.

It's intuitive

Oh, good point. I guess we can't really tell if Curry has any actual impact after all, when all of it could be tied to Klay Thompson.

If only Curry was, say, #1 seed without Klay. Then he'd prove he doesn't need the guy.

Oh well, it's just a silly hypothetical anyway...

You can tell when a player is on that goat level when the FACTS allow you to make clever posts like yours

Curry is a top 10 all-time player because he isn't a team-hoppers/talent-based winner and infact plays a goat brand of ball that yields the highest team ceilings with the least help.. Ultimately, he knows how to WIN (organic), while also being able to defeat maximum defensive attention (won ring while averaging 10 more than teammates in PO & Finals)

oh and the story of the past month has been...steph struggles but warriors win anyway. he's already fatigued lol. gl in the playoffs if you make it this time.

Don't worry. The almighty Klay Thompson will be back by then.
