    That was their best season in a long time, and wade was getting worse every year. Maybe that first lebron season they could have won 47-48 without him but after that, no way

    Again, it's silly to think that replacing Michael Beasley with prime Chris Bosh wouldn't have resulted in any additional wins.

    Wade was a shell of the guy he had been by the 3rd lebron season. Bosh would have been by far the best player. Why was miami even worse the previous 3 seasons? Are you trying to say that post prime wade was in the class of kevin freakin durant??

    No, I'm saying that it's silly to think that replacing Michael Beasley with a prime Chris Bosh wouldn't have resulted in any additional wins.

    It's unbelievable that you're trying to defend such a silly assertion.

    Because you’d also be going from good wade to mediocre wade to offset bosh

    Your first assertion was unsupported by logic. This assertion is unsupported by stats.

    Pretty soon, I'm going to start treating you like the troll you are.

    He's certainly not the two-way force that Jordan was, but there's an argument to be made from on/off court numbers that Curry is at least close in terms of overall impact on winning. Even in the Durant years, the Warriors had a negative net rating when Curry was on the bench. And the Warriors were much better with Curry on the court and Durant on the bench than vice versa. So as much as people claim that Curry played on "stacked teams," those teams didn't play like particularly stacked teams without Curry.

    To me, he's clearly a top-10 player and arguably a top-five player. Jordan is #1 with only LeBron as a possible contender to Jordan for that spot. If I were to compare Curry to anyone(s), it would be Magic and Bird (in terms of ability and impact, not necessarily playing style).

    He's not even Kobe level.

    Winning that year where they broke the record would've helped the argument. Instead it elevated lebron's legacy.

    steven has already surpassed jordan when he won his 4th. jordan couldn't even dream about shooting the 3s steve did. and don't even get me started on the awesome post-3 shimmy.
