The media and fans are overeaccting, I wouldn't call Curry the best point guard of the last decade, I would say he's the best shooter.
Nash was better as playmaker.
I liked how he took the TO with the shotclock running down at the end of the game.
A guy like Harden would have tried to statpad or at least would have given up the ball to not get a Finals TO himself.

Sorry he is the only pg with mvp + fmvp except magic. I watched stockton/nash/kidd/cp3, all had dominant bigs to pass to and pad assists. This warrior team does not have a single dominant scorer without Curry. Modern day NBA is about pace and space. Curry is 70-80% of Stockton/Nash playmaking on top of Reggie Miller/Ray Allen 3 point shooting. It is ridiculously overpowered when one guy gives you both space and pace. When he is not on the court, the warrior team looks very mediocre. I think Cavs puts more defensive pressure on Curry than Warriors on LeBron. Traps/double teams on 3 point line, Curry creates a lot of space when he doesn't have the ball. Without him the entire slash and kick thing does not work.
How dominant was Amare after he divorced Nash?
He was awesome in Game 2. /sarc
Amare had a great season with Knicks before injuries did him in.
A point guard can not be the best player on a championship team unless that point guard also packs unstoppable scoring ability.
Give me 28 points a game with 6+ assists over 18 points per game and 10+ assists any day of the week, especially if the 28 points a game pg has true shooting percentage of prime shaq level. In crunch time your best player needs to shoot not pass, and that is why Curry is the only post magic pg with both mvp/fmvp.

nash/kidd bot haveraged 2.9 turnovers for their career, curry is at 3.2
ROFL this guy is getting so overrated its not even funny. Hes not even as good a pg as chris paul
Much less prime steve nash. Miller and allen were just as deadly 3 point shooters as well and were actully clutch as too.
The point is Curry is both of these players rolled into one. 80% of Nash/Stockton/CP3's passing, 110% of miller/ray allen 3 point shooting. That is what makes him totally imba.
If stockton/cp3/nash had curry's super fast release, they will shoot more too and their assists will go down as well. They pass because they are not imba scorers.
In crunch times multiple moving screens allowing curry to get off a shot is so devastating. He is still raw in the heart, once he rings he will be even harder to stop.
The 2005 Suns sweep the 2015 Cavs btw. Irving or no Irving.
Undersized SG.
Lol the Warriors flat out suck. They got lucky by playing injured teams throughout the playoffs. Rockets without Beverly or Montejunas. Memphis with a banged up Conley. Pelicans had someone injured but I can't remember/doesn't matter since they weren't gonna put up any fight anyways.
The point is, this is one of the worst finals ever. I don't get how anyone can say this is exciting. Chucking up threes and maybe they go in? That's bull . This is not entertaining basketball.
The Warriors should be flat out ashamed that they're only up 3-2 against Lebron... With two All-Star Starters injured in Irving and Love. That's pathetic.
Even when the GSW win the ring, Lebron should get MVP. Saying someone else has been more valuable than him in this series is a joke.
Exactly. No LeBron, Cavs would barely put up 50 and lose every game by 40+. He's the Most Valuable Player.
Except Leroids is already folded like a lawn chair and admitted defeat. The MVP should go to Igoudala imo. And if you really want to give it to a losing team you give it to Irving
Boom
/thread
Curry is goat tbh. He's the best shooter ever and it's not even close.
Danny green was making a lot of open 3s in 2013 finals, most of 3s attempted/made by Curry were contested.
Best shooter != goat
Basketball has 100s of aspects besides shooting
They were also a dirty ing team and the refs rewarded every bit of it.
With two whole finals appearances!
Bittersweet that they never rang considering the cirumstances. I HATED the Jazz when I was a kid![]()
