    How did Steph do last year? He had a chance to prove he’s an alpha. He chose to let his finger keep him out.

    And you are right, there are levels of all stars. Steph is on the lower end, the most overrated superstar in the league.

    So Draymond played ONLY with Steph and NEITHER of them were All Stars last season.

    So should that invalidate both of their accomplishments per your irrational argument?

    Take the L you Trumpian fvkwad.

    Yep, it's tough to play basketball with a broken bone in your hand. Who would've thunk?

    He was healthy plenty of the season, chose to stay out.

    Are you unaware that Curry broke his hand in the 4th game of the season? And you still think he should've been an all-star? Seriously?

    How was he playing BEFORE the broken finger? All those losses were an embarrassment.

    That's right you ass sniffing POS, truth is intellectual dishonesty.

    You sure are moving your goalposts a lot. Are you really trying to define him based on 3 games? Seriously?

    LOL. "All those losses". Don't you mean "both those losses against playoff teams"?

    If it's a lost season, the team benefits by him staying out. What's your complaint now? That he does what's in the best interest of his team?

    Dang. What a jerk.

    It was a lost season because Curry is injury prone and can't carry the load on a squad not filled to the brim with star support, just as some predicted would happen when he lost KD and Klay. Prior to the injury GS wasn't expected to do diddly squat with a two time MVP that wasn't surrounded by garbage. That speaks volumes about Curry.

    Now next year he will get Klay back plus a high pick or another top player that the pick will be traded for, and y'all can slob him for leading a stacked squad again.

    Another Stephanie fan girl?
    The dude is an all time great shooter. That is the only thing he can do better than Harden.

    Yes. There are numerous players Green could have played next to and been an all-star, including Harden. He has great skilsets for a non-primary player in today's league.

    And the reason he’s a multiple time champ is because of great teammates. He has 1 legit ring. 1

    Definitely not Harden. Draymond Green can't shoot, and he and Harden would've definitely feuded during the years Harden played trash defense.

    Shhhh...he was only DPOY because of all the attention Curry and Klay demanded and the GS system. Or whatever....

    Great players want to play with Curry. Why should that be held against him?

    Kinda disputes your claim.

    No they wouldn't. Not if he had other great wing defenders to actually do the defensive work, like Klay, KD and Iggy, to hide his trash defense like GS did for Curry. GS finally lost to a team that designed an entire system to expose Curry's horrible defense. You seem to confuse having great defensive teammates to guard folks for you with good defense.

    Harden has played with plenty of players that couldn't shoot that weren't great enough to win DPOY while playing with him. Somehow he did just fine. Strike 2.

    In the world of hypotheticals, we have more evidence to support a non-stacked Curry led team being garbage than anything you just typed. Curry likely doesn't last one full season having to play on the teams Harden had or carry those burdens.
