Boy, nobody gets The Coliseum jumping like LeBron James and Stephen Curry
that was true of Bron for years, and has been true of Steph for at least 3-4 years. They hurt a lot of nikkas feelings on here who feel threatened by both for various reasons...
Emotional and terrible posts galore in here, the funny thing is alota us fell for a troll thread to incite infighting; the other thing is for us longtime posters,
most of these same heads weaponizing Steph in this convo have shytted on Steph REPEATEDLY when convenient over the years...
Look at the screen names, we know you nikkas. I wonder what has changed now that makes it okay to exalt Steph lol...
Look, 2014-2022 can be called the Steph/Bron decade or era akin to the Magic/Bird 80s. It doesn't have to be a 1:1 comp but both players popularity carried this league since then in most facets, and no one has done more winning than either in that stretch...
LeBron had an entire first ballot career prior to Curry's ascent to superstardom, circa 2003-13/14. It's beyond disingenuous to ignore this significant piece of information if you're going to compare the two...
All the other talking points are largely insignificant:
•both guys contrasting playstyles won many championships, just say you prefer one and keep it moving. To shyt on one in favor of the other is wack;
•Steph's lack of FMVPs, or having presumably 1 in 4 championships, is irrelevant. It will resonate tremendously that he was the best player on two championship teams;
•nobody now besides Bron haters care about "team hopping" so why the fukk would someone care about that I the future? This talking point is never mentioned on BSPN, FS1, The Athletic, SI, none of the reputable institutions because it serves no purpose---->but it exists on here. I wonder why
•as Steph continues to ascend the scrutiny on his legacy will intensify, and thats fair because he's going to continue to be compared to players higher and higher on the totem pole. So when we talk about playstyle and winning just remember all these guys are winners and played differently while still winning. Don't shyt on older era GOATs for accomplishing at high level while doing it differently...
But remember that everything is going to be fair game, how you performed in big games relative to the historical competition, how you performed with varying talent level around you, how your game rose or stagnated from regular season to postseason, etc. It's all going to come up....
..........
Most importantly, Steph's legacy as a truly unique, one-of-a-kind generational talent is going to be remembered for decades to come. He's 6'2 without shoes. In a game of giants he and West are by far the smallest players to be considered Top 20 guys, abd his impact on the sport has exceeded West's by multiples now. A 6'2 guy helped carry a team to multiple Finals and helped carry The League and change the sport. 6'2. Much respect and accomplishment for what he's done...
