    The great thing about Steph is that he's seen and thought about all of this that's been said. For him to be so grounded and yet so confident is dope. Character and status in the same person is something that you don't always get

    What amazes me about Steph is that he was raised in an affluent home of an ex NBA player. He could have turned out as a spoiled rich kid. Instead he’s one of the greatest players in NBA history, and the figurehead of one of the greatest dynasties in modern team sports. Credit to his parents for raising him well too.

    One aspect that gets ignored too often is that it wasn't just Igoudala on Lebron- Draymond was outstanding defensively in that finals & it was easier for Golden State to throw multiple guys at Lebron (not just Iguodala) because Kyrie/Love were both hurt. Add in the fact that Steph played great and they have zero chance of winning that finals without him on the floor & I think Stephs' value in that finals consistently gets underrated.

    He led the other 3 games in scoring and assists but that one 10 point game Durant went off for 40 to give him the scoring average for the series. But it is so frustrating to just watch them blitz and double Curry continuously while Durant is sitting there wide open at times or in single coverage. It is like all nuance of the game from an analyst perspective has been lost and they just go with the narratives they choose and use counting stats to back it up.

    I’ve never seen a more disrespected playoff performer than Steph. This guy literally put up some of the greatest numbers in NBA history in both his 6 Finals’ appearances as well as the postseason in general. The guy averages 27 6 & 5 and 27 6 & 6 for his playoff and finals career respectively. There are less than a handful of players in NBA history to eclipse those numbers while appearing in at least 4 Finals. He is and has always been incredible on the biggest stage but is somehow diminished because of media driven narratives.

    I think I just understood what pushed the votes to Iguodala as 2015 finals MVP. Other than guarding lebron a lot, he was the player subbed in for the usual starting lineup to create the death lineup. So when they introduced the death lineup, most people took notice that Iguodala coming in initiates the death lineup. So I guess that's what pushed the votes towards him even though Steph should've had it.

    The dodgy looking MVP back in the Bulls days was Rodman not winning it against Seattle. He was incredible. Statistically it was MJ & Pippen's most inefficient playoff series, but Rodman dominated. He had 2 games with 10 offensive rebounds which both now sit near the top of the all time list for most offensive rebounds in a game and he did them within a series. He got Brickowski ejected once, maybe twice, I can't recall, and I'm pretty sure he got Kemp fouled out or in foul trouble several times. But with the NBA being a global, family friendly game, the NBA would never give it to Rodman and so MJ was the logical choice.

    two players can both be essential at the same time people dont seem to get this, every other comment (not necessarily in this comment section in particular) is "X dont win without Y" like yea, and also X doesnt win without Z or Q. Your car wont drive without the front left wheel, it also wont drive without the back right wheel

    If Curry thinks, I disagree. If CurMickey speaks, I ignore. If CurChoke fails, I’m happy. If the world is against CurTrash, I am the world. If CurFraud has 7 billion fans, I am none of them. If CurBum has no haters, it’s because I no longer exist. I hate Stephen Curry.

    Thats a great point, mans is still 34 for and still has some time especially with his skillset. Bron is the only top 10 players who can still add to his resume(of which apart the all time scoring record he aint doing much more) so there really is no reason for him to care about that.

    The LeBron love at the time was so astronomical that he earned someone else an MVP that didn't deserve it.....crazy. The hot take is Steph Curry could make the argument he deserved either of the ones with KD too. Numbers aren't everything
