Not defending my previous post, but Curry came up huge tonight. This thread was created to laugh at the supposed melt down of the Warriors and how Curry folded in comparison to Kobe.


Exactly. I guess people are going to play dumb now. lol



They'll be back if the Cavs win it all.

Prophetic.

Cmon. The timing of it, is now gold though. We all know why the post was made, and that now looks silly as The Logo said.


But we're the insecure ones here, right buddy...?

My comments are strictly directed at those who are consistent Kobe detractors. Like many threads on LG it went in multiple directions. You guys can be giddy for GS if you like.

Curry has looked quite mortal in this series...regardless of how it turned out. He needed major help from Klay to pull this series out.

That's true, but it doesn't move the needle in this particular discussion, right?

Yeah, it reminded me of how Kobe would be our best player in some of those tough Western Conference series, achievements that were minimized by many fans and media members after Shaq would take the Finals MVP.

None. And in every championship run, someone else steps up.

I think that's a premature assessment ...

As long as videos like this one are still around for posterity:


And this one, too:


There will always be this (disavowing the title, of course):


And this: https://media.giphy.com/media/26FPAUNKvWhH96XZe/giphy.gif

And this:


The comparisons will rage on forever, but the balls on either side won't remain blue for very long ...

I think that in retrospect, those that played dumb were actually the smart ones.

How long has Curry actually been considered an elite-level player? Three, four years max?

Dude fought through two injuries to put up 28 and 6, including 33 and 8 over the last 3, and set a record for threes in a seven game series, and that's what passes for mortal. If that's him looking mortal, you're admitting he's pretty (bleep) great.

Part of being an MVP is taking a backseat and allowing teammates to shine.

Since his team came back from a 3-1 deficit, is Curry now Kenny Smith esque?

Anybody who actually watched the games wouldn't (bleep) on Curry for being "mortal" at this point. In fact any intelligent viewer of basketball might call his Game 7 performance "immortal." I mean damn, he was flipping shots over Ibaka and shooting ridiculous 3 after ridiculous 3 to stave off Durant AND Westbrook's push in the 4th. The man deserves the praise he gets.

Steph be writing his own story and, imo, he's doing it the right way.

Dirk got pretty close though. Seriously Dirk was on a mission that post season. For 2 months he was undeniably the greatest player in the world.

Is it OK if I think Kobe is a better overall player than Curry? Or will I be shunned on Lakers Ground?
