curry has the biggest drop off from regular season to postseason for any mvp in modern history. ohhh but he's injured right
both were drafted in 2009. Harden despite starting his career as a sixth man in okc for 3 seasons has amassed more all-nba selections, more all star team selections, more career points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks, higher career win shares, more career vorp, high career box plus minus and higher career win shares per 48 lol.. but check this out.. the same number of finals mvp's..
When you have 5 x Finals appearances and 3 x Championships the bad games don’t matter as much. Harden as 0 finals appearances as a Rocket and he’s had plenty of chances. His playoff failures have been quite spectacular though. Almost as spectacular as how you nuthuggers are able to defend him after he fails you time after time. It’s always one excuse after another with you Harden Only Fans. “He’s tired. He’s out of gas. He has no help. His teammates suck. The coach sucks. Its the GM’s fault. He’s a bad fit next to Harden. It’s the owners fault. Silver hates us. The refs are screwing us. The league is rigged. Maybe he’s concussed? He’s a bad fit next to Harden. It’s just training camp who cares. He’s a bad fit next to Harden. Bbbut but Michael Jordan partied too! He’s got a sprained ankle.” God damn, that James Harden guy must be the unluckiest guy ever! Poor him. I feel so bad how can he have such bad luck? Boo ****ing hoo. Just like your savior you fanbois never take accountability for his shortcomings. The Spurs game isn’t nitpicking either. He’s had plenty of duds. https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201505140LAC.html https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201505230HOU.html https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201505270GSW.html https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201705030SAS.html https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201804180HOU.html https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201904200UTA.html https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/202009020HOU.html https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/202009100HOU.html
I’ll trade all that **** for even just 1 Championship from Harden. You would too. Or maybe not. Thing is Harden can’t deliver the big one so you donkeys dwell on his individual stats and accolades... preferably from the regular season cause he’s a front runner. In that case don’t forget 6 x Turnover Champion.
Steph curry has the biggest drop off from regular season to postseason for any mvp winner in nba history according to Ben Taylor
Actually in 16-17 and 18-19 Curry's playoff ppg increased from that of the regular season. I don't know where Ben Taylor is getting his stats from. Again do your own research and stop quoting other idiots over the internet that have an agenda. And actually Curry is averaging 23.6 ppg for his regular season career average, while averaging 26.5 ppg in the playoffs for his career. https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/curryst01.html
https://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/vorp_career_p.html ( harden 21st, curry 25th) https://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/bpm_career.html ( harden 6th all-time, curry 11th) https://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/ws_per_48_career.html ( harden 8th, curry 20th) https://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/ws_career.html ( harden 34th all-time, curry 78th all time) https://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/vorp_career.html ( harden 23rd all-time, curry 33rd) I can do this all day.. "in my steve rogers voice"
You time-framed it to where it literally says the drop offs were due to injuries within the first 10 seconds. That was your rebuttal? You’re the same clown making excuses for a sprained ankle in the regular season. If I never read any of your other posts I would’ve thought you were a brilliant troll but no. Just dumb AF. Also, this Ben Taylor?
You are cherry picking advanced statistical data that favors Harden over Curry, good for you. You said Curry declines in the playoffs more than any other past MVP. I showed stats where he actually improves in the playoffs but you totally disregard those lol. You got called on your $hit and just like every other Harden stan you decided to move the goal post to fit your Harden loving ass agenda. Now it's no longer based on Curry's playoff stats but you gotta down Curry to big up Harden LMAO.
oh ok so the injury excuse again for curry. newsflash everybody is banged up in the playoffs after a long grueling 82 game season. Their is no way on earth steph curry is top 20 all-time, he doesnt have the longevity of the players ranked ahead of him have. he is a gonna be 33 next year and still has less than 17,000 career points. harden started his career as a sixth man for 3 years and already has over 21,000
the numbers are clear, ben taylor researches every single player from the past and present. and he came up with steph curry have the biggest dropoff of any mvp winner in the modern era. Dont get mad at me for presenting the facts as stated. Take your issues up with him
He’s literally got to dig extra deep to find any reasoning/material to try and support his delusional opinion of Harden being better than Steph. So far we’ve got Ben Taylor, 0 finals MVP for Curry and cherry picking advanced statistical data. This is the same worthless sac that complains about people loving Curry and hating Harden cause of the shade of their skin. Like what? Kid is an absolute joke and wasting our mother****ing time.
Bbbut bbut YOUR boy Ben Taylor literally said that. “the numbers are clear, ben taylor researches every single player from the past and present. and he came up with steph curry have the biggest dropoff of any mvp winner in the modern era. Dont get mad at me for presenting the facts as stated. Take your issues up with him” So he’s right when he supports your agenda but absolutely wrong when it differs from your agenda? K... go it.
bro i know who are, you post on or used to post frequently on realgm. I wont give away your user handle. But i know you post in the player comparisons section on realgm. And you and e-balla have hated on harden for years. You never thought harden would be the most prolific scorer of the modern era. Your posting patterns are similar. And you know damn well who ben taylor is before i brought him up. You also know about the advanced stat RAPM. Its the stat you have used for years to try and claim that harden's best season was 2015. Lol harden has surpassed even what you thought he would, and now you have become a full-fledged harden hater. I commend you, and once again i will not reveal your username on realgm. But its obvious who you are
I read that bullshit too with him comparing light skinned to dark skinned players. I laughed my ass off in the bed for 30 straight minutes. It was one of the most ridiculous things I'd ever read on this site, especially when you start naming guys like Blake Griffin and Karl Anthony Towns. Who the hell ever gave those guys a pass, like WTF?
That’s pretty funny.... considering I’ve never posted on realgm or even visited that site. Never heard of Ben Taylor before you brought him up. I’ve also never used “RAPM” or talked about it. Ever. Keep reaching though kid.
Where is the drop off from regular season to playoffs with Curry? Don't give me a damn youtube video. I want you to explain in your own words, and provide a link with proper stats like basketball reference (like I did and Asian Sensation did), or GTFO....
