View Full Version : Warriors: Is Steph Curry good enough to change a franchise on his own?

LeBron did with Cleveland. I love the Warriors team, but they're stacked, and all those years of sucking finally paid off with the development of their players. But does Curry's game transition well when he doesn't have the players to support him like LeBron?

We all know Curry will come to Charlotte before his career is over, and that will be the true test to see. But looking at his skill-set, and the way he plays... I'm sort of having my doubts.

I watched Curry play with Davidson, and saw him drop 40 against NC State live with LeBron in the house. No question he's one of the best shooters ever.. but we know what these kind of players are like when they don't have the supporting cast, and we can't just forget that they beat a severely-depleted Cavs team in the Finals - and barely did so.

Every franchise player needs to have the proper supporting cast to be successful. Look at the Cavs when the LeBron first came back. They struggled out the gate but made some trades so that the team better suited LeBrons skill set.

White coach. Even Walton can avoid fucking that up.

Pretty sure he would do fine with Kevin Love & Kyrie Irving.

I like the Warriors but they're one injury away from being decimated in the playoffs (Iggy, Green or even Klay, pick one) Curry is an amazing player but I still have my doubts and it's warranted. I just don't see him as this transcendent figure that can carry a flawed team deep in the postseason.

If you said the same thing about the Cavs, which team would be better off?

Lebron has already demonstrated he can carry his team.

He already changed the franchise. They become a good team once they dumped Monta Ellis and put the ball in Curry's hands.

You're not understanding me. If Cleveland lost LeBron like GSW would Curry, who'd be better off?

Not only has he changed a franchise, but he's also changed the way the game is played imho. PG-led teams hardly won any championships in the past (with reference to DoK's golden principle), but now more and more teams are being constructed or reconstructed by that paradigm (Suns, Wizards, etc...) after the Warriors success last season.

Yes. He changed the Warriors from the asterisk champs to the biggest chokers in sports history.
