Warriors: Nate Duncan :Curry is still the best player in the league..

[spursistan]

At least this got doesn't even pretend to hide his Warriors homerism anymore ..

Waited for his first purple patch couple of weeks of the season to re-crown him again..

Curry Just doesn't affect the game as much as the three Small Forwards in the league. Durant has argubly been the best player for the Warriors this year. You can't possibly be the best player in the world and be the second best in your own team.

He just doesn't have the same load of responsibilities. Pizza face for starters is infinitely a more valuable defensive player for his team, possibly the third most valuable, He's their best Iso scorer and the guy they go to when the offense s up and he's also a better playmaker.

I like Steph..but I also hate him because its mostly ty white people with agendas that have elevated him to that status.

Not in my top 3 list.

[apalisoc_9]

He's better than Harden and Westbrook for sure though.

Agreed he is the best of the PG group ...but he has the least burden of the 3 ...and the SFs too ...do much more overall

Not sure why yall hate on him though ...

[nickdakoolkat]

his numbers this season are very close to his numbers in his first mvp season...but when you have a year like the one he had last year you're probably gonna regress a little, even i they didn't add kd

[Spurtacular]

Curry has shown that when the bolts are tightened in the playoffs, he is not the best player. Actually the most dangerous I've seen him in the playoffs was the first couple games in SA 2013. Even then, he let us off the hook in one of those:

Warriors look much better with Curry as their lead guy, tbh..outside of Lebron, Curry elevates his teammates more than anybody in the league due to his gravity and the attention he receives..nobody else is even in the discussion, in that regard..

Dominos doesn't make his teammates better, which is pretty typical for a SF outside of Lebron..good defender and great scorer, but can't effectively run a team-oriented offense through him..

[spursistan]

He is still nowhere near last year's level..But, to be fair, Dominoes might be holding him back..Warriors are indeed more dangerous with Steph as a freewheeling 1st option..

I believe he is the best long range shooter out of the three, but he is nowhere near as explosive as Westbrook and he doesnt grab nearly as many rebounds or have nearly as many assists. How in the can he be better overall?

Westbrook gets his reboubds because his bigs allow him to. His stats is purely cir stancial.

Curry and Westbrook are in a different level/tier as players.

The only four guys in the league that i can whose game is conducive to winning regardless of system are Lebron-Pizza-Kawhi-Curry

Thats whybthese guys are a a level above everone emsem

Besides being a fantastic long range shooter, what else does Curry bring to the table? If he is cold from the outside, he really doesn't provide anything else. If Im wrong, please fill me in. He went cold in the final series and Kyrie torched him.

[Darth_Pelican]

Here's the final 3:39 of Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Curry does not look like the best player in the league at the most crucial time. Those bricks that he chucked up were pretty embarrassing.

He was injured. Hes not the better than the three sfs but to be fair he was playing injured.

Thank you!!! Like I said, if he is cold what does he bring to the table? A decoy maybe? When he isnt on, he disappears. Kyrie steps up when the game is on the line. Ive seen it over and over. He can drive, dish and shoot.

How injured was he his first game back when he set the record for most points in ot ?

[PopTheGOAT]

I'm giving him one more season to show that he can perform in the finals/critical moments. If he shrinks in the clutch again, it will really hurt his image imo.

Honestly though, I think he's gonna escape the scrutiny this year bc the dubs as a team are gonna be so much better than everyone else.

He's not just a fantastic long range shooter, he's the best shooter in NBA history; and that forces teams to pay extraordinary attention to what he does, opening the game up for his teammates. Curry can affect the game without even having to touch the ball.

Yup.

The only reason why I have Durant, Leonard, Lebron over him is because these guys are also very efficient shooters and have gone through multiple teams and different itterations of those teams and still found success.

The best Westbrook has done minus Durant is 5 wind over 500% in a weak west and Frauden is Frauden.

0-11 from 3PT vs Philly ...best player my ass...Nate Duncan just being his discreet Warriors homer/steph fanboy combo self..meanwhile just watched Lebron take Giannis to school ..

[99 Problems]

wow 0-11. big day out.

[DAF86]

If Curry stops being videogame lite, the rest of the league woulf have more than a punchers chance against them, tbh.

Do yall even know basketball? How can a guy be the best player in the NBA and all he brings to the table is long range 3pt shots? Curry has no middle game at all. If he is cold, he is cold as a witches kitty in Antarctica. 0-11 from 3pt land. Ya may want to move in a few feet and shoot it .

Because he's not nearly as ball dominant as WB and doesn't steal rebounds from his centers. When the Thunder have 17 assists and 11 of those are from one person, you know there's not much ball movement. I'd bet the Thunder are near the bottom on number of passes before a shot.

Everytime you, of all people, say something like this, I can't help it but laugh out loud, tbh.
