Seriously, do you really need to flop against a 40 year old Derek Fisher?

LeBron. He'd be "LeBron" on any team. I don't think so for Curry, although I do think he is one of the games best.

Definitely curry right now.

The crazy thing is the Curry from this year is light years ahead of the Curry from last year. While you cannot deny the team surrounding him plays to his strengths really well you can't deny his incredible efficiency on offense. Every time I look at one of his box scores hes scoring 1.5-2.0 points per shot attempt. That is insane and its not like he is a slouch on defense.

So Curry's talent is artificially inflated by his teammates? There's a familiar odor to this subversion.

Way to dust off that old number to use in another fight, Texas.

Another impressive thing about Curry is his willingness to defer to others when they get hot. He had 17 points in the 1st quarter last night versus the Kings and finished with 19 points on 7 shots. Klay and then Brandon Rush got hot and shots were passed up to get them the ball. Curry did that many times last year when Klay got rolling. The unselfishness of the W's starts with their best player.

LeBron's been to five straight NBA finals, has two rings, took scrubs to the finals, now has a questionable supporting cast yet the Cavs are favored to win it all. Wherever he goes people expect a championship to follow.

Curry
Westbrook

How does OKC not figure out how to dominate this league?

Not sure if trolling.

And Curry is basically now the Shaq of perimeter players. He's the reason it's a copycat league now. He's also the reason the Lakers drafted Russell over Okafor. Players like Hibbert are obsolete because of him.

Curry is revolutionizing the game similar to the way Jordan did in the late 80s/early 90s. It's a joy to watch him play every night.

Curry. Don't even care about individual defense. The +/- on the small ball line up and all of those wins? He is the leader of that.

curry's offensive impact is so far beyond anyone else in the league that being an average defender is good enough. it's not even close.

Curry is currently at 12.8 BPM good for 2nd all time behind Lebron's 08-09 season. We're not talking about a career achievement award here, we're talking about best player in the NBA right now, and it's clearly Curry.

For reference, Westbrook is 2nd at 12.1, and Kyle Lowry is 3rd at 9.7. Kawhi Leonard 8.3, Lebron 8.0, Paul George 7.6, KD 7.2.

His defense has been pretty solid this season. Would go as far as saying he's 2nd team or borderline 1st team. Impressive considering the pace they play at.

i think something often neglected is that Curry has a sick team that compliments him just about as perfectly as you can get.

I don't think it's neglected at all. Some people bring it up constantly. It's just not something most people care about.
