The Whole Curry > LeBron narrative died Tonight

[8Ball]

For years we had low IQ casual fans yack non stop about everything Curry > LeBron because Curry was able to add Durant to his 73 win team.

Even had 3ball promote Curry all the way into the top 5.

Well now that narrative is officially DEAD like Russian Wagner troops.

Nobody will ever say this ever again. Even the most die hard Warrior / Steph fans won't be able to even mutter it outloud in any sports bar in San Fran.

To be fair, no serious person ever ranked Curry over LeBron.

What this series did was shut up the trolls who said Curry>LeBron just to troll and get a reaction.

This counts as a mini meteor extinction event.

Only people who claimed Curry > LeBron were the biggest casuals on planet earth or the biggest Curry nutriders

Mainly Curry ******gers but they all died last night. Narrative dead.

They have nothing.

Oftentimes we adjust our macro sense of a player's ability based on a single playoff outcome. Just look at people's comments after the Warriors won it all last year.

My suggestion: wait a good 3 months after the playoffs end before drawing any conclusion so you're not affected by Recency Bias.

With how klay and poole played, even peak MJ wasn't winning with that.

Give Lebron his credit, but this wasn't really on Curry. Swap casts and you'd see the same result.

Not unless Curry joins another team, convinces a younger superstar to play with him and switch for a new crop of players at the trade deadline. Curry's arc is what normal leaders go through. Build the team up to championship level, dominate for a while and then slowly fade away as the team ages. LeBron does not follow that arc because he bounces as soon as his team starts to decline. So it's an unfair comparison. Curry built a basement dweller into a dynasty. LeBron is playing NBA 2K23.

Could it have to do that Currys team was really good through the draft and there was no need to change it up, especially since Curry was not a GOAT caliber player to begin his career but in Monta Ellis debates?

This is the first time in his career that it looks like his team is not up for it and even then I think its overblown. Poole had a down year, he was great the other 3 seasons. They still have Wiggins. DiVicenzo. Draymond. They got a squad.

as if this warriors team is some monster squad with the number 1 seed or something

you're still not allowed to touch lebron, curry doesn't stiff arm his way to championships chief.

3ball would have to be a complete psychotic( which, well I couldn't argue otherwise ) if Da Realist was one of his alts. Completely different posting style and tone...
