Anybody still think Curry is the best...

Anybody still think Curry is the best player in the world? I for one never even gave any thought to him being in the same universe as an overall player compared to LBJ. It was obvious to me after last years finals the King was still clearly the King but a good bit of posters during this regular season designated Curry as the best. Any of you still hold that opinion?

It's tough to argue with 2 straight MVPs

If the roles were reversed Steph couldn't take over a game like LBJ did the last two games.

Why does it matter so much? His team is still in a good position to win the finals playing game 7 at home. That's all that matters.

I can admit when I'm wrong. LeBron is simply better right now. He didn't play at this level all year but his best is all-time worthy. All respect to him.

He was never the best.
Lebron has been the best player in the NBA for the last 7 years.

I still think Steph is trying to gut through a lot of pain right now and hasn't been his best. He simply hasn't been able to finish at the rim the way he did all regular season. No excuses though, Lebron has played out of his mind and been unquestionably the best player in this series.

He's so fricking good that the league has a major conspiracy to keep his team from embarrassing everyone who actually buy into the LBJ hype. And those who thought the Cavs would win this series without any interference.

Stop acting like Curry wasnt better than Lebron this season. He was so much better that he won the MVP unanimously.
Just because Lebron has gone off these last 2 games it doesnt erase Steph being the better player this year.

If I shot 15 three's a game, I could make 6 or 7 too. I'm a 6'0 white guy

Steph is the best shooter in the world

Curry had a better regular season, as stated. But let's be honest, this mvp talk is for the fans and media. Those two two players would trade every single mvp trophy ever given if it meant extra NBA titles. These guys don't play to be MVPs, they play to be champions.

Wait do people actually think Steph is better than Lebron? 
Posted on 6/19/16 at 8:23 am to redfishfan
I didn't realize it was an either / or, and that I couldn't just enjoy the hell out of watching both James and Curry do their thing.

Steph is banged up, but even with that, no one in their right mind would think a healthy Steph can do what lebron has done in this series, and specifically the last 2 games.
I thought Steph had caught lebron early this season, but we now know that that is obviously not the case.
We tend to only focus on one side of the ball. You have to remember Lebron is doing literally whatever is needed defensively, while GS for the 2nd series in a row is now hiding Steph on defense. It's probably for rest reasons as he hasn't been bad defensively but the reason is irrelevant.

Best performer over a definite time is not equal to best overall player.
Steph has a great 2 year income statement. Lebron has him on the balance sheet.

Lebron James is playing the best basketball of his life the last 2 games. It's the most dominating basketball I've seen in the Finals (I start at early 90s Bulls). But as great as he is and as much as he's dominated, if you took Curry (Thompson/Green vs James/Irving/Love/Thompson) and James (Irving/Love/Thompson vs Curry/Thompson/Green) off their respective teams for game 7, Cleveland is the only team that would have a small chance without their superstar.
Lebron is the best in the game in these Finals and that exercise above doesn't prove Curry is better, I just find it fascinating.
