    Default Lebron is more valuable to his team than Curry is.

    Warriors without Curry are still contenders.
    They have been blowing teams out left, right.
    Cavs without Lebron would be competing with the Lakers for the 2nd worst record.
    Proof? Check Cavs' game without Lebron and check gsw's games without Curry.

    Can't argue with that.

    You could make the case...FAR more valuable.

    Enough of these threads. Only Warrior/Laker/Curry fans will disagree with this absolute fact.

    I don't think anyone can argue against that. (though I'm sure some of these haters will try)

    The GOAT impact on a [COLOR="red"]DECENT[/COLOR] team


    The Bulls went from 3-peat dynasty to 2nd Round team, back to 3-peat dynasty... Nuff said.



    The GOAT impact on a [COLOR="blue"]LOTTERY[/COLOR] team


    In 1989, the 47-win Bulls would've missed the 45-win playoff cut without Jordan's 33/8/8.. So heading into the 1990 season without Jordan, they were a lottery roster and headed nowhere - but WITH Jordan, they were ECF veterans and 1 season away from starting a 6-peat dynasty.. Massive difference.

    Btw, Jordan carried his 1989 lottery roster to 6 games with the champs just like Lebron did in 2015 - except Jordan led that lottery roster all season, while Lebron only led a lottery roster beginning in the Finals when everyone was hurt.

    Also, Jordan faced EVERY POSSESSION double-teaming in 1989 Playoffs, especially against the Pistons' "Jordan Rules" in ECF.. Here's an example from Game 6, starting at the 9 minute mark of 4th quarter - MJ is double-teamed 10 of 13 times he touched the ball to finish out the game.. All 10 double-teams shown are shown in gifs here.

    In comparison to Jordan being double-teamed 10+ times per QUARTER, Lebron was double-teamed a total of 18 times in the ENTIRE 2015 Finals:


    "[COLOR="navy"]When James was double-teamed, the Cavaliers scored 5 points on 2-of-18 shooting[/COLOR]".

    Whoops, wrong thread..

    I meant to say that Lebron adds positive value on both offense and defense, while Curry only adds positive value on offense

    lol the warriors without Curry lose to a healthy clippers team and lose to the Spurs in the WCF in 5 (if they play the blazers)

    with Curry they are the greatest team of all time

    Kyrie, and Love with TT's offensive rebounding are literally as good as any team in the East. The East has a bunch of mediocre teams (as does the West). It is an odd year - GS, Spurs and Cavs are miles better than everyone else. Cleveland would have as much of a chance to come out of the East as anybody else.

    Perks of being a GOAT team: still better than an 8th seed without their MVP

    Their play without Lebron doesn't show that.
