Let's not. KD was better. Still is.
Steph played 63 games last year and the Warriors barely made the play in. Draymond played all year. Wiggins played all year.

The Warriors rise this year is about Klay coming back, Poole and Wiggins stepping up their games. Period. Steph's play is actually down from his peak pretty significantly. He only shot 38% from three this year. Peak Curry was in the mid 40s. Steph shot 43.7% from the field this year, lowest of his career by a wide margin other than his 5 games in 2019-2020.

You have massive sample size issues with those on/off numbers. Curry is an all-time great. He's hard to gauge because he's unique, but I think he's in the 10-15 range. There's never been anyone remotely like him. He plays in the perfect system for his talents. But what has made the Warriors "The Warriors" is the combination of Steph and Klay together. They have two guys that shoot above 40% on high volume from 3. It's simple math that it's hard for other teams to match that. This year, they were both about 38% from 3, but then you added to it Wiggins and Poole at about the same rate. Wiggins 39% and Poole 37%. They simply have the most efficient offense in the game with that kind of shooting. When they had Durant, it was absolutely unstoppable.
