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.

Steph man...

Quote:

[Thompson] Before Game 7, Steph Curry assured the team he would deliver victory if they all bought in. Anyone who was ready for their vacation, he told them not to get on the bus. But if they got on the bus, he promised he’d deliver. Wiggins: "It gave me chills. No. 30, he’s different, man."

And they were together because Curry made sure of it. With what a few of his teammates called the greatest speech of his career.

“It gave me chills,” Andrew Wiggins said. “No. 30, he’s different, man.”

According to multiple sources in the private session, Curry told the team he believed in them, that they had enough to win. He asked for their trust in return. He assured them he could deliver victory if they all bought in. He implored them to put all of their feelings aside — which sources with knowledge of the locker room felt was messaging directed at Poole, Jonathan Kuminga and other guys who might’ve been unhappy for reasons such as playing time and role — and lock in to the unified mission. Anyone who wanted to remain in their emotions, he told them to stay home. Anyone who was ready for their vacation, he told them not to get on the bus for Sacramento. But anyone who did get on the bus, Curry took that as a signature of approval, a binding agreement to be on board with the mission. And if they did that, if they got on the bus, he promised he’d deliver. With his game, his faith, their solidarity, they’d win.

Because of who he is, and how rarely he does this, it hit home in a way only Curry could pull off. He saved the Warriors’ season before Game 7 even began.

“You’re in this space where you’re gon’ fold or you gon’ rise up,” Green said, his voice raising with excitement as he relived the speech. “Once he did that, you have no choice but to rise up. He f—ing got everybody locked in. ‘If you’re getting on this bus, you’re making a commitment to this team. No matter if you play zero minutes or 40 minutes. You’re making a commitment to do whatever it takes. Prepare your mind and body for this opportunity we have. We got embarrassed the other night and we never f—ing going out like that.’”

Houston Game 7 2018:

Had lead on GS mid-late 2nd Q, then inexplicably missed 27 straight 3's which led to GS win.

Sacramento Game 7 2023:

Had lead on GS mid-late 2nd Q, then inexplicably went 1-23 from 3 which led to GS win.

Combined 1-50 (2.0%) from 3.

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!

KCC going to punch his TV if Steph sends LJ packing once again.

"It's unimpeachable that Steph is in the Top 10."

— @Chris_Broussard's Top 10 Players in NBA history:

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?
