Didn’t the Rockets have like an 0-27 stretch in that game from 3?

GSW winning and Steph dominating I think broke KCC lol

It always seems a player or two will step up for the Warriors when needed. Tonight it was Looney and Curry. Last year during the finals it was Payton/Wiggins. It's never really 1 guy who is the best but a collective of players who make each other great.

Jays also blew a 8-4 lead.

Yes.

I dont think anybody or anything could have stopped Steph today

A very Jordesque type performance. Props to Steph.

Forcing him to pass is how you stop him on days like today. They didn’t do that.

he was driving, pulling up, dishing and hitting threes in traffic....dont know what anybody could do to shut him down today

If LeBron won it would do the opposite for the NBA.

Go watch how the Raptors defended him in 2019.

The GOAT winning anything is never a bad thing for the NBA.

It is when nobody likes him.

sucks the goat can't win anymore because he is 6 feet under

Who is nobody? Nick Wright likes him. Barry likes him. And there are millions upon millions like them.

Some people are capable of acknowledging and respecting greatness when they see it.

LeBron is 6 feet under?

I think he is the best player of all time.

I do not like him. But most people are not able to separate the two.

I think I heard this stat on the NBA post game show

he just did that..GSW vs the LAL is gonna be must see tv

how many titles does Lebron have without Wade and Bosh?

Huh? That stat includes games Kevin Durant played and was the best player in the Warriors, does it not?

No doubt Curry is this millenniums GOAT.

I think the question you should be asking yourself is whether Bosh and Wade combined is better than KD, Klay, and Draymond.

You have to understand KCC doesn't acknowledge that Lebron went to 3 different teams to build super teams because he couldn't get it done like Steph did on one team. But KD, KD, KD.

Steph by the way hasn't been swept in a playoff series yet. Steph swept Lebron though

He won 2 Finals MVPs for the Warriors as the best player on the team over Steph Curry, did he not? They don't win either title without him.

Are you referring to the series that KD won Finals MVP in where Steph was a role player? The series where LeBron's 2nd and 3rd best players were a washed Kevin Love and JR Smith?

Yes Steph swept Lebron.

Robert Horry swept LeBron James and Jason Kidd too in two separate finals.

Steph also had a gentlemen sweep of Lebron in the 2017 Finals. Damn

Mehmet Okur did the same to Shaq and Kobe in 2004. Amazing.

He played out of his mind. But Davis played horrendous at the same time. Mitchell played solid defense all series and is an elite defender. It’s hard to believe he wouldnt at least have helped limit the bleeding.

I hope someday LeBron gets to play with or against his son in the NBA. It’s an honor to watch a Steph play against his son LeBron, I hope LeBron also gets to experience that.

LeBron vs Steph in the NBA Finals (22 games):

LeBron had 169 more points
LeBron had 124 more rebounds
LeBron had 67 more assists
LeBron had 4 more steals
LeBron had 19 more blocks
LeBron had 1 more Finals MVP

Looney 21 rebounds. Curry does not get his 50-pts wout that. Just epic!!!

LMAO Genuinely hilarious how insecure Lebron stans are about Curry.

Now you see what I mean about LeDicksuckers.?


Makes me root against my own team.

LeBron has great stats and there is No denying that.

Curry seems to make players around him better.

But we're supposed to believe that they beleive he's better than MJ.

If he's truly the GOAT, there's no need for that level of insecurity.

So the Warriors play great defense and at times can get other teams out of sink?

Steph said he would carry him on his back and he did. GS shot 15-46 (32%) from 3 but take away his 7 3-pointers the Warriors shoot 8-46 for 3. SK shot 12-47.

I mean those 3 extra 3 pointers definitely were the difference in a 20 pt game lol!

If Steph is in the top 10, how is the guy that was the best player and Finals MVP on both the 2017 and 2018 teams not also there? The media spent those years crowning KD and ignoring Steph and now it's the opposite?

Also, I still have no idea how Kobe manages to find his way onto those lists.

So I stumbled on video about Wilt. I know you can always cherry pick things, but I came away impressed...

It's hard to compare era's, but I wouldn't have Wilt that far down...

Maybe if you just flipped Wilt and Steph...

Agreed, prime Wilt dominates any era. He was a physical freak.

Just idiotic. You spout kd was the star. But didn't do shit before or after. Curry keeps doing well. Won a championship last year again. If kd was actually the MVP. Where is that play now? Curry was always the leader and heart of that team. He just stepped back and help utilize his chess pieces.

The guys around him always seem to play better. What guys or even stars has LeBron made better?

Hell he forces tradea of most of them. Dude could of trained wiggens but dealt him for love.

Curry is the icon of the past decade. Revolutionized basketball with how he shoots 3s. Kids growing up shout curry with deep 3s.

All the great get mimicked.
Jordan tongue, dunk, turnaround
Kobe, jumpshoot or turnaround.
Curry, 3pointer

Lebron's, is the flop or crying face.


****ing hilarious.

I don't spout it. He literally won Finals MVP twice for the Warriors as the best player on that team and you had idiots here and elsewhere actually saying he was better than LeBron because of it. Curry wasn't in the conversation and he wasn't in the conversation for a reason. KD was vastly superior to him as a player and it was obvious to everyone watching those games.

Curry pathetically cried to Kevin Durant to come join his 73 win team because he couldn't beat LeBron with said team. What are we talking about here?

LeBron took teams with complete scrubs to the Finals (see 2007 with Mo Williams) repeatedly. His offensive game gets his teammates open shots all over the floor and has for two decades now.

And what the hell would the point have been in keeping a rookie in Wiggins (who accomplished absolutely nothing in his NBA career until he became the 4th option at GSW)? He got Cleveland their first title partly because of that trade.

Curry is certainly the icon of choking every late and close game he's ever played. He's not the guy you want shooting with the game on the line.

Even the fans know it:

Maybe I am wrong but when you have an injury plagued star player you should probably have a viable backup.

Just turned on the early game and wasn’t expecting it to be this close in the 4th.

I believe you are mostly correct. Steph won one before KD and then last year while KD hasn't sniffed a championship since. That is not to say KD didn't play the best in the 2 Finals that he won FMVP because he did. But they don't win without Steph and to act like Curry was some kind of bystander is an uneducated take. The pairing was mutually beneficially.

Draymond talked about this recently where he said Curry got double teamed more than KD, KD didn't like that but the stats bear that out.

This is backed up by Tyron Lue who said they blitzed and double teamed Curry in both Finals not KD.

Definitely agree Curry is the icon of the past decade as far as basketball player goes, Mahomes is that for football now. The reason being is you can't emulate Lebron because most kids aren't going to be 6-9 and 250 lbs. But kids definitely can emulate Curry and let's be honest he is way more likable that Lebron.

Harden going off

Tatum with a swolled up coin purse

Lots of nut hits in these playoffs

Holy shit what a shot by the beard

I was just waiting for the dribble out the clock for a contested 3 but he actually drained it this time.

Marcus Smart is a really stupid basketball player. Always has been.

Always a good day when the Celtics get absolutely embarrassed.

What a game 1 steal by Philly. Now they can rest Embiid for Game 2

Likable to who? We're talking about the same guy who has been repeatedly ejected for disgracefully throwing his mouthguard at refs and fans, right?

I could tell in that Hawks series this isn’t the same Celtics team defensively as last year.

Best to get them out now then before they have a chance to choke out to the Warriors again for the 2nd year in a row. Playoff Jimmy and Lowry may be our best chance out of the East.

3 times.
