The Whole Curry > LeBron narrative died Tonight

[kawhileonard2]

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.

This and Curry still has as many titles in less years in the league.

Curry and Lebron guy here…probably the only one on the entire site that likes both players. It was never a debate. Lebron is better but if curry would of won this series it would have been a debate.

Warriors steam rollin’ the Cavs after getting KD doesn’t really count because Durant pretty much neutralizes LeBron’s impact by replicating his statline. The only time that beta plays at his absolute best is vs Lebron or Kobe. Kd in a game vs Lebron is the only time where he takes his game to another level.

I did a long breakdown post about this years ago but this site deletes old post so it’s gone…. Pretty much the warriors getting durant is the equivalent of someone starting a fight then pulling out a gun. Kd was the gun. Once they got that it was no longer a fair fight… The 2nd and 3rd best player (kawhi wasn’t in terminator mode yet) merged on the same team to take down the best player. KD’s ability to play Lebron to a stalemate stat wise in a game is remarkable. The warriors signed the 1 piece of kryponite Lebron had in the entire league ….Lebron would of got his ass beat everytime he went to the finals….it pains me to say it but it’s the truth. Kd and steph would of mercilessly beat his ass every….single…..time….. for what he did to them in the finals individually.



Curry and Lebron are both better than KD btw but I respect kd’s game in the warrior system where he gets to play 1 on 1 all game with no help defense….he doesn’t have to be a leader…..steph takes all the pressure off him in the regular season and carries the team…and he gets to steal all the credit in the finals from curry being warned down from dragging gsw through the western conference playoffs+reg season…he really had the perfect situation….. damn he’s an idiot for leaving




Edit I said it once and I’ll say it 1000x times more. That 3-1 collapse was so devastating, they would have never beat Lebron James in a series again without KD. He psychologically scarred them. But, lucky for them they went and got gun….

So the Curry v. Bran narrative died because Bran beat him with much better help (arguably the best player in the NBA in AD on his side & a deeper roster) despite playing worse than Steph in almost all of the games?

I'm sure you counted the 2017 & 2018 Finals the same for Steph.

AYDEE argyooble da bezt playur in da NBA hee hee heee heee DURRRRRR

[Full Court]

Curry outplayed Lebron that entire series. Bronie just had waaaayyyyyyyyy more help.

Lebron's not better than Curry....much less Jordan.

Suck on that one and cry for a while, Canadian loser.

This is 2017 & 2018 reversed. Idc where you rank AD really but he was the best player in that series and the reason why the Warriors struggled on both sides of the court.

Impossible to have a nuanced discussion on the topic on this site of all things, but this series didn't settle or change anything that wasn't already set. Neither Lebron or Steph had all-time series in general or based off their own respective histories, and neither are chiefly to credit or blame for the outcome. The single biggest issue over the 6 games is the Warriors didnt have an effective interior neutralizer for AD, which makes next series against the Nuggets very interesting

Wrong.


2015 Bron was better.
2016 bron was better
2017 bron was better
2018 bron was better
2021 Bron was better
2023 Bron was better



Every single time they matched up above Bron was clearly the better player.


And even this post of yours admits Bron was better.

Bron was better in 2017 and 2018.


Nobody even talked about Steph for those 2 finals. It was all Durant.

Tough night for this guy.

He cried the entire game thread. Tried going to sleep, and woke up crying again into his mom's tampax.

AD didn't cause GS to miss WIDE OPEN 3pt shots Friday night.
