    Curry is a little pacifier sucking child of a man. If he sits out all year it wouldn't surprise me one bit.

    I can't wait for the bottom-dwelling Warriors to make their inevitable "Steph's injury did not respond to the surgery as we'd hoped, and he needs another 2-3 months to heal properly" announcement.

    Tyson Chandler was DPOY and an All Star. Caron Butler 2x All Star. Jason Kidd was older but 10x All Star (last all star was 2010, year before championship) and 9x All NBA Defensive Team. Jason Terry was NBA sixth Man. And finally an older Shawn Marion but 4x All Star and was rejuvenated in post season.

    Dream did not have that much talent around him his first ring.

    Pau + Bynum was the best big man duo in the league and Lamar Odom was the best 6th man in the league. Please take off the blinders

    Ugh what a wuss.

    One of the most unique talents to ever grace the court (Durant) probably the league’s best 3&D player (Thompson) Swiss Army knife Igoudala and dpoy who gets to lambaste refs, scratch and kick opponents...all of whom get to set moving picks multiple times every possession to get the pacifier sucking little brother an open shot...

    He’s the best open shot shooter ever, on a team and in a league totally catering to his lone strength covering up the fact that he kinda sucks butts at everything else. Div-3 level defense. No strength, cantrebound anything that doesn’t bounce right to him. Considering the gravity of his team his dribbling and passing is overrated beyond average. But you know what? He’ll hit open 3s.

    Poor curry........Myers needs to get this dude some real help. How can someone expect curry to flourish with only 2 allstars when he returns??

    yeah Bynum absolute legend he became

    lamar Odom averaged 14 ppg

    dude Lakers team was good don’t get me wrong but it wasn't star studded. The reason and the only reason they won was because Kobe Bryant. There were better teams in the league on paper

    any team that wins a chip has to be good but my point still stands that Kobe carried the team with the help of solid role players cuz that’s the kind of numbers his team produced

    I’m just saying guys like Kobe and MJ were more capable to carry a team compared to other stars. They wouldn’t of won 6 chips but maybe 1-2 cuz they were that good.

    but at the end of the day I agree all stars need other great players to be successful

    Hope the media reiterates the reality of Harden > Curry.

    Needs to be known historic purposes and fairness.

    Gasol led them in win shares in 2009 and 2010

    Kobe really had a weird career. He was the best player on the Lakers over a long span, but I don’t think he was ever really the best player over any entire year during that span when they won a chip.

    David Robinson and Larry Bird are definitely not pf’s + Rasheed Wallace, Chris Bosh, AD, and Shawn Kemp are undeniably worse than prime Pau.

    I mean, come on. It was well known even at the time that Kobe was an inefficient chucker that needed great teams to win. He was talked about as possibly the greatest player of all time so gullible people would buy Lakers tickets, not because he had a real shot of being better than MJ.
