Steph Curry over his last 5 games at 38 years of age
41 PTS - 6 REB - 6 AST29 PTS - 1 REB - 4 AST34 PTS - 6 REB - 7 AST31 PTS - 4 REB - 6 AST44 PTS - 8 REB - 6 AST
Golden State is adding Butler and Moody in the 2nd half.
Yaxel and the 2nd unit is so much better than last year
He might finish top 5 mvp lmao
He’s top 2 rn
It’s easily Luka and Steph as the top-2 right now.
Nah wemby and steph are tied for 2nd pretty far behind Luka
This is reactionary as fuck lol. Wemby exists
You’re forgetting someone who’s clearly above Steph
MVP takes into consideration offense and defense. Steph has never been a great defensive player. Guess you forgot Wemby was a thing.
Because when steph won his 2 mvps, defense was the topic of conversation. I agree wemby is 2nd, but come on
This argument would make sense if Steph didn’t win mvp already. You forget about that or something?
Steph is still a decent defensive player in his system, though. Warriors are always better with him on than off. I say this ranking Wemby above Steph right now in the MVP race. Steph’s offense has been monumental, though.
There’s definitely a gap under Luka and Wemby right now, they’re putting up numbers unseen in decades.
Lukas numbers are similar to Harden less than a decade ago.
Check rankings by BBallRef BPM and LAKER (though Luka does have the edge with volume), but the gap isn’t necessarily what you think it is
It’s Luka by a margin and there’s no gap after that lol Curry is putting up 31 on 70%TS, Wemby is nowhere close despite being 7’4
Wemby is 30-12 with 4blocks on a team tied for the best record in the league.
Ya of course basketball has stuff like blocks, rebounds defence and basketball isnt just shooting
Wemby is still putting up a historic defense and on/off numbers. We can’t just ignore that side of the ball.
Also, I think 40 on 68% TS is a big gap to compare to 31 on 70%
Because Wemby’s historic defense is also matched with good offense.
Yes, Wemby isn’t efficient as Luka or Steph, but he’s putting up 30 a game still.
30 a game with historic defense while leading a top team in the West stands above a 2pts more per game on hyper efficiency with bad defense
Lol no
look at Curry man
So inspirational.
Curry > Magic we can cut the nostalgic shit at this point honestly
If you think Curry won’t be universally regarded as better than Magic in 10 years time I have a bridge to sell you
hes been better than magic
I’m a Curry stan for life, I followed them even before their first championship, but I always had Magic firmly as the better one of the two…..until the 2022 Championship, that pretty much sealed the deal for me, everything else after is just cherry on top.
Only people disagreeing with this are Laker bots
I think there’s an “apples to oranges” argument here. Curry is just such a unique player, are comparisons even warranted at this point?
Yeah the apples to oranges comparison of playmaker vs sharpshooter is the most valid take against curry > magic arguments. That being said idc what kinda fruit magic was, curry is better. Completely revolutionised the game, not even getting to this insane longevity, and always so fun to watch.
I mean tbh Draymond has felt more like our point guard for years at this point. Steph is still better than Magic though.
But magic came down like HEE HEEE
People often say that Curry gets more help, but they forget that Magic Johnson got help from Jabbar when he debuted. He is one of the best players in history.
Curry > Lebron if you really want to cut the nostalgic shit. Curry spending his whole career in the bloodbath west puts him over the top.
They have the same number of ships and one dude has far superior counting stats. wtf are you smoking
Is the bridge golden?
10 years from now, a lot of talking old heads will likely still be alive and at the front of basketball media, so that’s probably not the best timeframe.
I’m just curious, where do you rank Steph Curry all time?, because a lot of people have magic in the top 5
Wherever Shaq is Steph should be one higher than that.
So is shaq above magic too then?
Ehhhhhhhh. Maybe? I wasn’t alive when magic was playing. Steph, Wilt, Shaq, and MJ seem to have been the greatest offensive forces ever in the NBA. Magic could play center and had a shortened career. It’s a tough call.
I have Steph at 6, with magic around 8 or 9
I still do think Magic takes it…by a smudge.
People really don’t get how much Magic changed the game, and just made the league viable.
Until Magic, it was a struggling league for a few fans and not marketable as much. Magic played a…magical style of basketball and pushed the boundaries like no one had before.
The goat playmaker, goat entertainer and he was the first to do it. All the skill, joy and just making the sport worth watching…
There’s no modern nba without magic.
Nah, people just caught up in the moment. There’s an entire hall of fame career separating the two, so when its all said and done there’s going to be no argument that can be made in terms of individual accolades/team achievements.
For me the GOAT PG debate ended in 2022
After 2024 Olympics you must be delusional if you don’t think he is the GOAT PG
Appreciate greatness while you can.
Almost like hes one of the Greatest of all time and father time doesnt care about him
Or can’t do anything about him
I mean, every single GOAT candidate has fallen victim to father time including LeBron this is kind of a dumb point to make lmao
Simply one of the greatest ever
What if he wins MVP? 🤯
Impossible as long as wemby and luka continue to play remotely close to their current performance.
Steph will break down eventually this season. But they could also boat race the West once Jimmy gets back.
Legend Alive
hot start playing statistically his best start to any season and he is vey capable of sustaining it.
Goddamned virtuoso
You have to appreciate his greatness. One of the most incredible forces this game has seen. And the way he does it makes the game so much easier for everyone around him. One of one.
just unreal
As the biggest Steph Curry fan, even I didn’t expect this. I expect him to come down to earth soon because ain’t no way he can keep this up.
Greatest 38 year old of all time
Bron averaged 29, for the entire season..
On 58.3% true shooting
curry is at 70% and scoring over a point a minute
70% likely won’t hold up, but 58.3% would be the second-worst efficiency of Steph’s career (behind only his rookie season)
That was a season he missed 27 games
Year 20
Irrelevant
And you’re proclaiming Curry the greatest 38-year-old of all time based on 8 games? You know Curry missed 39 games last season right? Let’s see if he can stay healthy and maintain this for the whole season first
Some of you guys are so hilariously dumb
At 6’8” 250 🤣
It was his 37-38 season, and the 38-39 season, buddy, take a good look at the data.
Yeah, he played 71 games and averaged 26/7/8 on 54% FG. Horrible stats I guess.
Curry’s played a grand total of 8 games (missed 2 already) so far. We gotta slow it down. The last time Curry averaged 29 for a season was LeBron’s 37-38 season btw (where he also averaged 29)
THis is stupid lol.
Greatest offensive player in nba history
Just #BestPlayerInLebronEra things
They’ll win the title
Pass that blunt over here bro
washed
all i can say is that whenever we play orlando, i always pray for no injuries because this team has caused a lot of injuries to a lot of players by playing real dirty these last 2-3 years. IMO
