The entire point of this thread is that Steph developed a winning culture

By commanding quadruple teams at times, he became the ultimate floor spacer and made his teammates better. LeBron... not so much. That all figures into a player's legacy.

To me, LeBron is the most talented player ever. Top 3-5 in pretty much every category. Certainly scoring, passing, and durability. Too bad about all the drama that didn't need to happen during his career.

May have been said, but the past 7 years are clearly the Steph Curry era. How

LBJ won 2 championships in that same time frame.

Blueto

Yeah, half what Steph did is pretty good.

Steph wasn’t even the best player on his team for two of those titles

6/17/22 9:07am

Correction, he wasn't the most selfish player on his team for two of those.

That may be the most favorable point about Curry. NO other superstar would have

nybyblue

This is false. Curry helps his team more than anyone in the game. He opens

Goes the other way too. Durant causes all sorts of problems for defenses

6/17/22 11:01am

Do you really believe that though? Really?

100% that was Prime KD. He was the second best if not the best player in the

6/17/22 1:16pm

In keeping with your reviews of why GS seems to keep winning titles, who was it this year if not Steph?

RoaroftheCougartails

6/17/22 1:38pm

It was clearly Steph. Who else would it be?

6/17/22 1:45pm

Thats what I was wondering. You have just discounted Steph or blamed injuries in every other title they've won. 😉

RoaroftheCougartails

6/17/22 1:54pm

Discounted? No. I said he wasn't the best player and that he had some luck to

6/17/22 2:06pm

If we don’t give him credit due to injuries in 15

Remigius

6/17/22 2:26pm

I gave him credit for being the best player on 15 but the injuries definitely

6/17/22 2:30pm

Steph wasn't healthy in '16

Remigius

6/17/22 2:51pm

I will give you Bogut for sure. Hurt is not injured. Injured means you don’t

6/17/22 2:55pm

Steph will never be in the Goat discussion because of one simple reason

Blueto

6/17/22 10:03am

Steph doesn't get the credit he deserves on the defensive end of the court

Remigius

6/17/22 11:37am

Bluto I mean a lot of people cant stand listening to Jeff Van Gundy but if you watched any of these games he mentioned

It's a good argument. Lebron's decisions have done himself in. He should have

6/17/22 8:52am

totally agree, both about King James and about Steph

nybyblue

6/17/22 9:52am

I disagree he changed the game for the better. So that is subjective

“…fundamentally transformed the game of basketball…” . . . “…for the better…”

Even if you wanna call this the Steph era, LeBron’s prime was 2008-2013

PHXSUNS31

6/17/22 9:10am

Lol. 2 of Steph’s titles came with the GREATEST team of all time. 2017 and 2018

TheMediator

6/17/22 9:20am

I dont think the OP was trying to say Steph is better than Lebron but more to point out how much praise Bron gets

RoaroftheCougartails

6/17/22 12:09pm

The tail end of LeBron’s prime probably overlapped with Curry’s prime

garyfan

6/17/22 9:22am

People want so badly not to give LeBron the credit he's due.

benny1982

6/17/22 9:22am

Because he has created a lot of his own problems

bluelands

6/17/22 9:26am

That's not a good excuse for not giving him the credit he's due.

The OP also tried to claim that LeBron wasn't the greatest of his era during his

benny1982

And to say that LeBron doesn't make his teammates better is laughable.

d-coug

This is false

Remigius

6/17/22 9:37am

Just because most people do doesn't mean some stubborn holdouts don't.

benny1982

6/17/22 9:39am

Agreed. Large majority consider him 2nd best at worst,many consider him the best

palangi

6/17/22 9:48am

Not true, at least for me. I actually love Lebron he is a great player, we have

nybyblue

6/17/22 10:10am

Not me. There wasn’t a bigger LBJ fan than I was…

Refugee

6/17/22 11:06am

I would imagine half the league has talked with their agent about how

bluelands

6/17/22 9:23am

Yeah, In the LeBron vs. Steph debate, we should remember that Bjelica

garyfan

6/17/22 9:26am

I get your snarkiness. It's hard for some people

bluelands

6/17/22 9:43am

Dude, you brought up Bjelica in a GOAT debate. Sometimes snark is earned.
