Seriously?

Steph is miles and miles away probably planets away from anyone in the league. This (bleep) just put up 40 after missing two weeks when everyone thought he'd be rusty. This dude was only unanimous MVP ever. This dude had a ridiculous, ridiculous season from an effienciency stand point and he absolutely dominated night in night out.

If you remember Charles used to rarely acknowledge Kobe was the best player. Ill never forget him saying he was done in 2010 and then Kobe went off and led us to another title. Saying he could never win without Shaq. Saying he was selfish. Yadayada he also hates Westbrook.

Charles Barkley is sort of like Donald Trump of basketball commentators. He is a provocateur, who gets attention, which brings him publicity, which probably brings him more career opportunities.

Lebron, Tim Duncan and the likes.

To his credit, he's saying Lebron and Kawhi are better 2 way/all around players which isn't wrong. You don't see Steph locking up cats. However, Steph is the most unstoppable force on the offensive end which makes up for his lack of defense. He's not the worst defender, he's just not going to be making all nba defensive teams anytime soon.

chuck has to say that because of who he works for. i doubt he means it. most of the old timers have criticized people calling curry the best, because they feel he is overhyped.

Cause Chuck is well known for biting his tongue and not saying what he really thinks

Has Chuck Fatass endorsed Trump yet?

Edit: Apparently he's not too fond of the Donald.
