Lebron is flat out better than Curry at this point

    Put Reggie in the zone age and see how he does.

    They come probably every 25 years

    In the meantime you have to deal with the Hardens, the Currys, the Pauls, the Griffins....

    Sometimes secondary stars like Yao, Mac, Grant Hill, Gasol bros, Thompson,......

    AD has it all to make it to that list

    Zone doesn't have much impact on 3 point shooters compared with hand check.

    I wanted to say today's defensive schematics are much more advanced than those in 90s.

    I really can't believe the Cavs are up 2-1 w/o Love & Kyrie

    I'm sure Reggie Miller could shoot 3's off of space created by moving screens just like Curry does.

    Curry is one of the worst defenders I have ever seen. On ball he is worse then Harden because he is so weak. Off ball he is a way better defender than Harden. Making Delly look like an all-star, what a joke. Worst defending MVP since Charles Barkley. The difference being that Charles could choose to play D. Curry can't even play D in his wet dreams.

    Funny how Golden State players aren't dancing around the court anymore (found it to be very immature). Also, makes me realize I hate the Rockets style of play. Sorry, I like defense.

    Couldn't agree more with both of these statements.

    Boom!

    I forgot about Nash as an MVP but I guess that further illustrates your point.

    Harden does not play defense at ALL. He just waits for the Rockets turn to play offense. Then he actually plays some basketball. He just ball watch on defense because he thinks he can steal the ball, usually that just leads to team getting easy basket.

    This one is still the most unbelievable to me, with 2 minutes left. Just crazy.

    Also: look at Delly at the end of this clip. He was about to collapse.

    that's the thing about this next-gen nba stars. they want to look "cool" in front of the camera, no matter what. not only curry, some others have that too. in my mind this is the reason why that play happened and ended the way it did.

    i am anticipating a gsw win tonight. ever been dehydrated? the body wont feel the same even after resting a day or 2.

    Hindsight or not but I find it very hard to believe OP is just now realizing this.

    LeBron has been the best player on the planet for like the last 5 years without anyone but Kevin Durant even coming close. A healthy Durant to me is better than Curry. People have such short memories.

    OR...Reggie can create space by simply shoving the defender aside, just like he did to Jordan in the 1998 ECF, Game 4:
