    curry aint top 15 goat of nothing, harden is more accomplished than him... curry is a nice shooter, but as an overall player he leaves a lot to be desired.. he is supposed to be a killa scorer but is barely at 20k points... guys like west, the big O, cp3, and harden are starting to lap him in win shares and vorp.. OVERRATED

    Unfortunately for you, Curry is absolutely in that tier, and he's far more accomplished than Harden.

    In terms of accomplishments, Harden is much closer to Westbrook than he is Curry.

    Not sure how you want me to respond. You're deliberately ignoring hardware which is one of the foundations of the GOAT list.

    Ok? Do you think Robert Horry is higher on the GOAT list than Curry?

    by you're own logic yes.. getting a ring just meant you were lucky enough to be one of 15 on the roster fam, even the ballkids get rings in some cases. Its all about those finals mvps..

    Finals MVPs are perhaps the most overrated piece of hardware. How many voters vote for the MVP? How many vote for the FMVP? That should tell you all you need to know about how to weigh its significance.

    I'm going to ignore your Horry comment b/c it's moronic.

    shaq and kobe have 3 and 2 a piece respectively

    dwayne wade has 1 finals mvp

    any great player that won a ring, got a finals mvp for the most part fam

    If he had a third arm he would waive his kid in front of the camera...

    Great message though... be a one dimensional player and you too can win an award as the 3rd best shooter in your family...

    Again, look at the number of voters for the FMVP. That should tell you all you need to know about its significance.

    What's interesting is a couple of years ago i downloaded the playoff data for Harden and MJ from basketball reference and counted up the data...

    If you remove all games MJ didn't attempt a 3 he still had more games than harden where he shot worse than 35% from 3.

    If you look up all games where they shot under 50% from 2 MJ had a higher % of his games shooting under 50%.

    But MJ gets a hall of fame teammate or two and a legendary coach to get a bunch of rings and Harden is the choker...

    MJ has zero rings without Pippen...

    Chris Paul might be an equivalent teammate for Harden as Pippen but he got hurt...

    Well, he did slap a dark-skinned comedian so its unsurprising HardenVolumeOne would find a way to reference him.
