Dwight Howard
Superstar
You're overexaggerating because you're [sub]consciously focused on the moments which you perceive to be bad play from him, as if they're the norm and not an outlier, when if you took everything in equal measure, you'd realize he doesn't go ghost, but the very opposite:
2015 First round - Game 3 away from home - down 105-108, hits 3-pointer with two seconds left, goes into OT and contributes 11 of the 15 points through scoring/playmaking - finishes the series averaging 34 ppg on high efficiency.
2015 Second Round - down 1-2 - closes out series on the road x2 - averaged nearly 30 ppg on high efficiency against one of the best defensive teams in the league, dropping 13 points in the 4th quarter of the close-out game.
2015 WCF - averages 31 ppg on ultra efficiency, including a 40-pt game on 19 shots away from home.
2015 Finals - down 1-2 - closes out the series with three straight wins - averages 28 ppg on high efficiency (while his second-option only averaged 8 ppg), finished with the most clutch points in the series (even more than LeBron), while dealing with more defensive attention than any player in the league.
2016 Second Round (returns after being injured in the first round) - breaks the overtime scoring record with 17 points, finishes the series averaging 34 ppg on ultra efficiency.
2016 WCF - down 1-3 - closes out series with three straight wins - averaged 32 ppg on high efficiency, including a 22-point second half to go along with Klay's 25-point second half in Game 6 away from home (hitting the dagger), and a 36-point performance in Game 7 (hitting 7-12 threes) when the rest of his teammates shot poorly from the field, including a 15-point 4th quarter, again, hitting the dagger. Including a masterful performance on defense, where he defended Westbrook better than any other Warriors defender.
2017 First Round, Second Round, WCF, Finals - his first postseason since 2015 where he was healthy: had multiple 30+ ppg series' on ultra efficiency, and end up finishing the postseason with one of the most efficient high-volume scoring postseasons in NBA history.
2018 Second Round (returns from injury, after being out for nearly two months) - closes out the series with a 28-point performance on ultra efficiency.
2018 WCF - drops close to 30 ppg in the last five games on high efficiency, in the midst of being down 2-3, had TWO pivotal quarter scoring-bursts to help break the deadlock in both elimination games - in particular Game 7 when he brought his team back from being down double-digits at halftime with a 14-point quarter.
Apart from the hiccup in the 2016 Finals (where his mobility was gradually getting worse due to an injury), Curry has performed like an all-time great in EVERY single key-moment in the playoffs, since his rise to superstardom. Not just one play, or one game, or one series, but ALL of them - even more so when the Warriors were trailing in series' or games - he'd reach a new level.
And this is without mentioning he was dealing with more defensive attention than any other perimeter player in NBA history, in the '15 and '16 postseasons.
He's a far, far, far greater floor general, than Magic is a scorer - Magic's not even remotely coming close to him as a scorer.
Not only is this not true, at all, but if you knew what the fukk you're talking about, you'd know that Magic is really the one who's committed stupid turnovers and made crucial mistakes at the wrong time.
The errors that Magic made in that series are far worse than what Curry has ever been guilty of.
I see the word 'injury' alot in your post, I already know what time it is. And I think you are underrating Magic scoring ability. if Magic needed to get you 25 he could, efficiently. steph not racking up Magic's assist numbers, and thats playing with 2 of the greatest shooters. Steph barely averaged over 8 assist, whereas magic would average between 12-15 in the playoffs. Curry is a better shooter, but thats literally it. Magic does everything else on the court better, and has a much better resume. I dont see how this is even an argument right now.
