lol...the overall quality of the Warriors is way...way better than any of the teams you are trying to compare Curry's help to. You are talking about Dray and Klay...while they have Harrison Barnes...a guy who would be a star on almost any other team. He's better than Wiggins that's for sure and he's averaging 20ppg on the Twolves. The Lakers, the Heat...they were never STACKED...they were TOP HEAVY. The Warriors ARE stacked...three all star players, an all star level player in Barnes, and guys like Bogut, Iggy, Livingston...and they aren't stacked...okay buddy. The warriors ALWAYS have a quality player at any given position...they are by far the most stacked team of all time.

This post makes zero sense until you realize the person who wrote it is a raging alcoholic.

harrison barnes ? you must be trollin me.
Warriors outside of curry are a less talented version of the mid 00s spurs or current spurs outside of Duncan. Manu is the type of dude who could lead a revolution against team USA, straight heart and intelligence thats on another level than any warrior player not named curry.. and the spurs have always had great depth.. so that points moot.

The Warriors are one of the best put together teams in decades. They have great talent and unreal synergy which takes them to an unreal level.

their FO and management is definitely spurs like in the way they articulately build.. in contrast to kobe and bron's FO's who always just tried to stack quick talent in desperation.

Re: Who has had the most help? Duncan, Kobe, or LeBron?
Based on aging curves for expected OWS and DWS during seasons in which they have averaged at least 24 MPG:
Duncan: 42.11 expected WS
Kobe: 36.18 expected WS
LeBron: 36.06 expected WS

Re: Who has had the most help? Duncan, Kobe, or LeBron?
1.Kobe, the only one that was literally a sidekick to another dominant superstar FMVP.
2. Duncan, help as in a bunch of great teammates, fantastic organization and an amazing coach that helped him compete for all of his career.
3.Lebron, first 7 years he had no real help. Then got Wade and Bosh but was still the only one of the 3 that was the best player on his team.

Re: Who has had the most help? Duncan, Kobe, or LeBron?
Who had to work the hardest for their rings?
1. LeBron - Drafted by his hometown sports failure Cleveland. Never had a true 1a/1b tandem until he played with Wade in Miami.
2. Kobe - Drafted onto a legendary franchise with Most Dominant Ever (Shaq). Phil Jackson came to the team shortly after. Pau Gasol was a big 2 way help.
3. Duncan - Drafted onto a team with a HOF Center and HOF coach. Always had help with D-Rob/Parker/Ginobili.

Re: Who has had the most help? Duncan, Kobe, or LeBron?
Basically look at it like this
If this was 2k
Kobe played with
Shaq(96-04) : 98ovr
Pau(07-14): 88ovr
Kwame(04-08): 64ovr(too generous)
Horry(98-03): 71ovr(being generous)
Rick Fox(98-03): 68ovr(being generous)
LamarOdom(05-12): 85ovr
Bynum: 84ovr
D-Fish: 55ovr(being very generous)
Sasha: 70ovr
Farmar: 74ovr
OVERALL TEAM CORE AVERAGE: 75.7 OVERALL
Other players were in for only maybe 1-2 year stretches in Ariza, Artest, Shannon Brown, Vlad Radmonovic, Mbenga, Powell, Dwight, Kareem Rush, Turiaf, etc. and the overall quality of these interchangeables on a combined 2k scale is id say 75 overall relative for being surrounding parts.
TEAM CORE: 75.7 OVR, ADDITIONAL HELP: 75 OVR
LBJ played with:
D Wade: 90 ovr
C Bosh: 87ovr
Kyrie: 88ovr
K Love: 80ovr(should be higher)
Prime Mo Will: 81 ovr
Mike Miller: 76ovr
Ilgauskas: 80ovr
Larry Hughes: 75ovr(see KLove)
Ray Ray: 78 ovr
OVERALL TEAM CORE AVG: 81.6 OVERALL
Other players in for 1-2 yr stretches were JR Smith, Shumpert, Mozgov, Antwan Jamison, Shaq, JJ Hickson, Dellavadova, Varejao, Eric Snow, Delonte West Sasha Pavlovic, Drew Gooden etc. and the overall quality of these interchangeables on a combined 2k scale is id say 90 overall relative for being surrounding parts.
TEAM CORE: 81.6 OVR, ADDITIONAL HELP: 90 OVR
Duncan played with:
Tony Parker: 88 ovr
Ginobili: 87 ovr
D-Rob: 90 ovr
Kawhi: 89 ovr
Bruce Bowen: 80 ovr
Avery Johnson: 76 ovr
Sean Elliot: 77ovr
Danny Green: 80 ovr
George Hill: 78 ovr
Boris Diaw: 80 ovr
TEAM CORE AVG: 82.5
Other players in for stretches were Tiago Splitter, Horry, Malik Rose, Stephen Jackson, Finley, Brent Barry, Bonner, Mario Elie, Patty Mills, Steve Kerr, Derek Anderson, etc. and the overall quality of these interchangeables on a combined 2k scale is id say 86 overall relative for being surrounding parts.
TEAM CORE: 82.5 OVR, ADDITIONAL HELP: 86 OVR
I cant even front as a Kobe fan this looks pretty objective...
I really thought before this it would have been much closer and I wouldnt have been surprised to find Kobe's teammates overall rating to be the highest due to how the media pounds the idea of "SHAQSHAQSHAQ" when it comes to the Kobe narrative
Anyways kudos to Kobe Bean for winning 5 rings despite having SIGNIFICANTLY less help than any of his superstar contemporaries
