We will see how "healthy" durrant and westbrook recover from last year disappointing season under their new coach.
GS doesn't go to the playoffs strictly because the roster GS assembled and their style of play is completely based around Curry himself.

A generational talent gets put into any sorry ass situation and makes something out of nothing (ie: Anthony Davis.) Before Curry had this squad he was putting up 17 a game and GS was winning 30 games.
Go peep what Bron, MJ, and Kobe were doing in their early years when they had trash squads that weren't built to cater to their abilities. MONSTER statlines and were still getting into the playoffs. Fukk, Bron even took a shyt squad to the Finals. Then come back here and tell me Steph is in that tier. Jesus christ it's incredible that this is so hard for people to grasp.
Iverson led Philadelphia to ONE playoff series win post 2001. Using the one game they won in a finals where they got spanked is a pitiful argument at best. Stop this. He had to take 45 shots in that finals game. They couldn't have been that awful if they won the eastern finals with him shooting 34%. They peaked at 56-26 in the worst or second worst east ever to 2002 or 2003. Golden state won 67 games this year. Take your L and keep it moving. Curry is as good as advertised.Iverson averaged 31-33ppg and was leading an absolutely sorry 76ers team to deep playoff runs. He took that team to the Finals and stole a game from one of the most dominant NBA teams of all time (they hadn't dropped a game up until then) behind a heroic 48 point performance. I do believe my definition for that term was: "A player who puts up monster stats and whose presence alone guarantees the sorriest of teams an extra 20-30 wins." He's no exception to the rule.
Iverson was also transcendent in his integration of hip-hop culture into the NBA. He was the epitome of "cool." There wasn't a single kid growing up watching hoops who didn't wanna be like AI at one point, regardless of race or background.
It's pretty clear that the league is trying to push it and we all know why (light skinned, from an upperclass family, "good boy,") but jesus christ talk about the worst face of the league in NBA history. I thought "face of the league" was reserved for transcendent, generational talents and if we're being honest Curry certainly isn't one. On top of that, the face of the league is supposed to look physically imposing. You wanna see him and go, "thatguy is an athlete." I look at Curry and feel confident I could give him the hands in a pickup game scrap.
Curry is puttin up better numbers than every shooter in history which is the definition of a transcendent talent, he's literally not just a "generational" talent but an all time talent.No one has been pushed more than Bron he the most overrated player in history cause of the media and stans like you dikkridin him so much, he was literally the chosen one and crowned king before he even entered the league which is the epitome of bein forced. The fact you caught so many feelins over Curry givin him yet another L that you made this whiny hate thread is further proof of how bad the agenda to push him is, and idiots like you are forcin Davis down our throats when he ain't even done nothin yet it's ridiculous you're sayin you'd give the nod to him over Curry when Davis just got to the playoffs this year yet lost in the first round to Curry himself who's not only the mvp but about to be finals mvp and champion.
Rose is the most athletic PG of all time rivaled only by Westbrook who beasted this year himself, he was league MVP in his 3rd year becomin a top 5 player would prolly have a ring if it weren't for injuries and hasn't even reached his prime yet he definitely is a more transcendent superstar.Davis ain't there yet so he don't belong on the list especially not over Curry who's already there, and gettin to the playoffs one year as a 8th seed then bein swept doesn't make him superior to Kevin Love when Love did what Davis never did and put up HOF caliber stats gettin more rebounds and double doubles than anyone besides a couple of HOF players.
Yeah 4 of those guys are clutch winners and the other is bout to be 2-6 in the finals yet is gettin slurped by you, is that really how far we've come?Jordan
Shaq
Kobe
LeBron
Curry
One name is not like the others. Is this really how far we've come?
Bein the face of women's sports has more to do wit how attractive people find you and Sharapova has that tall skinny model look those marketin teams want, it's the same reason why Anna Kournikova has so many endorsements bein in music videos magazines covers and fashion spreads cause she has that mainstream celebrity actress appearance. Not to mention they both Russians and Tennis is way more popular in Europe than in America, their gender and their sport makes how they're viewed completely different from men's basketball.If talent strictly had to do with qualifying you as the face of your sport then Sharapova wouldn't be making twice as much in endorsements as Serena. But she is.
