    this is true, and when playing 5 on 5 defense is a highly desirable skill.

    I agree but most won't until they have some type of hardware to show for it

    Curry is not debatable, look at what they are when he's not there. Look at what they were without him. I know Draymond is important and they would be lost without him but Curry absolutely impacts the game more offensively.

    CP3 himself definitely got robbed Kobe's MVP year. It was a career achievement award for Kobe, and makeup for them giving Nash a 2nd MVP over him. MVP voters did the "He's young he'll get his later" mistake, and it never happened.

    CP3 had one of the best pure point guard seasons of all time then. He got in the rare "30 PER" class. And almost invented Full Time Lobs as offense, he is almost to lobs how Curry is to 3's.

    Lol no one defers to Westbrook. We all know Westbrook just does whatever he wants. If anything Durant got Westbrook to defer to him, which is a testament to how good a player he is. Who else would Westbrook ever defer to?

    They were totally fine without him in playoffs 2 years ago.. That team is just not interested in regular season. Plus they got soo much drama going on right now and it’s a totally different team. I would love to see Curry play with Damian Jones, Damion Lee, Jonas Jerebko and see how well he does missing Draymonds moving screens.

    You just watch the touches on the Old Thunder Squad and see for yourself that his touches went down towards his end and ultimate betrayal.

    Lol that’s why he left. He didn’t defer, he hates playing with Westbrook who doesn’t play basketball the right way. If he was actually okay with it he would still be in a Thunder uniform.

    Only if they came with Green at the very least.

    When Green got suspended, these two got exposed by Cavaliers.

    Which playoffs, you mean the year they went 73-9? They faced our trash Rockets team in the first round and he only missed two games in the second round? Trust me, they needed him.

    But I guess to some degree, Curry hasnt really ever played with mediocre talent around him, but I still he's much more impactful than Durant offensively imo.

    Yeah Curry is nowhere near the conversation thats why he has a unanimous MVP and he has 2 MVPs Durant only has one.

    And thats why KD jumped to another team, because every year the discussion is between Lebron and KD and Curry is nowhere near the conversation despite easily being the greatest shooter in history. 2 year sample size is small but 1 mstchup against the Rox is enough to prove KD is better than Curry. Lol wtf!

    He is a beta b**** with no heart, the cupcake snake.

    You can't talk about how good he is because he is gonna jump ship and join the best team out there excluding his. In his own words he doesn't want to be a leader and have his own team he wants to be the sidekick of another player instead. That makes him better than guys lile Pippen or Klay Thompson but he isn't better than Curry since he will join Curry's team anyway.

    I typically discount the homerism...
    ...and CP3 gets older every day...

    but would u really want to take a
    Curry/Klay/CC/PJ/Ennis/EGo squad
    against
    CP3/Harden/Durant/Green/Iggy/Boogie squad?

    I dont think we'd win a game...

    jus sayin...

    MVP isn’t a good way to judge because that’s a popularity contest and a lot hasn’t to do with team success. We all know he stole Hardens award that first year.

    Not just one matchup against the Rockets. Why has he never won a finals MVP? Cuz the Cavs could also scheme against him and take him out but they had no answer for KD.
