Is Steph winning his fourth Finals putting Lebron Era to the back burner for the 00s

[Rekkapryde]

shyt just being the best shooter alone puts him at top 10.

It should ...but another ring and a FMVP would leave no doubt imo

 

[Rekkapryde]

4 chips is huge. And 2 without a superteam, 2 without Durant is huge.

Considering how often LeBron switched teams (I don't blame him for leaving Cleveland the first time, but the last two moves + getting AD and Westbrook weren't a good look), it'll look better for Curry being able to win with a team like this.

Klay looks washed (although I'd reckon we've overrated him in general), Draymond's offensive game is getting exposed, and Wiggins is Wiggins. Poole is awesome, but this team isn't stacked.

Add the showmanship, and the fact that the Warriors are gonna be back in the finals again, I think we underestimate how many people in real life will argue this was Curry's era, low key

Who you taking out

Depends on who you have on your list? He will be top ten in mine.

You can't be the goat with a losing Finals record tho.

so if he lost in the ECF or second round 5 more times would that have made you happier. you cant have it both ways
arguing finals record is a poor argument if you toss away context. mj lost to the future champions in the pistons a few times. the celtics etc. thats a poor argument. every year without a ring should be a failure right? being penalized for making the finals and losing to a better team is corny. there is only one egregious stain on lebrons record and that was against the mavs.
mj is still my goat anyway. bron is 2

Curry doesn't have the resume to be compared to Bron in terms of career all-time. Reached his prime too late, too many injuries.

Plus his peak was clearly not at Top 5 OAT level as seen by his disappearing acts in the Finals at various points.

Bron on the other hand is universally accepted as the second best player ever. Curry won't ever be considered that.

I think we overrate how many all time players performed in the finals.

Bird and Kobe had some underwhelming finals performances. Kobe's 04 Finals is arguably the worst finals performance any superstar has had, and many still try to force him as a top 5 player.

Magic had some bad moments, and injury luck in 88. Kareem's last 2 rings he was a role player, etc.

Curry just needs a classic performance, because he's actually been most pretty good in the finals, with 2016 being his only blemish. He was alright against Toronto.

Bro can't debate a first round or second round etc.. lost compared to the finals. Lebron didn't get it done when it counted the most when MJ/Kobe/Curry/Duncan/Shaq on down did it. He lost more than them dudes.

Kobe was dealing with a rape case that year I give him a past.

and i'm supposed to take responses like this serious.

 

[KidJSoul]

It's because Bron was Team hopping WAAAAY too much.

People wanna say they'll never put Steph in top 3 discussions, which is fair. But what if they start taking LeBron OUT of top 3 discussions because of Steph Success...

Regardless, this Rivalry is the new age Magic-Bird with both sides saying their guy is better

This right here is what I've been thinking about. Curry getting another chip will make people (online, at least) change how they order players.

You might see lebron, maybe even magic and Kareem move down given that they had each other (we penalize KD and Curry for playing together)

We not moving the goalposts like this fam

In the championship, he's 4-6. That's not goat worthy. Not even .500????

No. We don't do this for no one else in sports. That Dallas debacle is unacceptable. I still low-key think he threw that shyt as it looked like Wade was on his way to getting FMVP

 

[Leasy]

this is the clown shyt nikkas post

You a clown the type of kid who needs a participation trophy. How are you arguing for a nikka who is 4-6 in series that matter the most and you got him as your top 2. You a clown.

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

now yal using conspiracy theories.
bro stop. There is only 1 series out of all of them that he was expected to win and didnt. the mavs series. coming back from 3-1 while steph curry blows it shouldnt have any effect on how rankings are skewed? but all this other shyt should
should he have beaten the dynasty spurs in 07 on that cavs roster where boobie gibson was his #2? should he have beaten 2 mvp players in their absolute primes on the warriors?
yal play this favorite game. corny

No one is a GOAT in any sport with a losing championship record
