re: I'll take peak Curry over peak Lebron

Lakeland, Florida. I'm kicking it in St. Pete now.

I forgot to ask. Is this a draft of any player ever at any given time during their peak? And given this situation, you'd take prime Curry over prime Lebron?

Because if you're starting a team, you'd be shot by your owner if you took Curry before Lebron. If you have no idea what the rest f your team is, how the shite could you take Curry over him?

No it doesn't...you seem to think that all skills are created equal. I disagree with that.

I never said they were "equal," but they have value. A few more rebounds and a block or two every 100 possessions will have a positive impact that can't be disregarded. They have a more tangible impact than a mythical construct like "momentum."

Even then, to casually dismiss defense, which is half the game of basketball, is just nonsensical.

It seems more like your arguing why you enjoy watching Steph more, but to argue that you would choose a lesser player, doesn't make sense.

I mean if you were a GM, and your job depended on it, would you choose the better player?

I posted that before I saw the flight comments.

I figured Spur too

Thanks for clearing that up, mate...I don't think we need to argue this though.

There's a difference in disregarding and speaking comparatively.

Momentum? What about confidence and effort? Do those things matter? Why do they change? I hate to do this, but have you ever played a sport? You don't think there is a psychological element at all? You seem to be hung up on the term momentum, not me.... People talk all the time about having home court advantage...why? Is home court advantage also a myth?

You seem to think that all skills are created equal. I don't. And that doesn't mean I am dismissing them, either. I am saying some are more important than others, some a lot more important.

If I was the GM of the Warriors, I would take Steph all day and twice on Sundays over Lebron. I didn't start a thread saying "If I could build a team from scratch around one guy, it would be Curry". Obviously it would be Lebron because he can do more...but on a contending team, where I didn't need him to do more, I would take Curry who is better at what he does great than Lebron is (IMO). Like I said, he is the perfect offensive weapon unlike anythign we have ever seen.

I have to run, but I will let my man AI have my last word:

"You know that that guy is here. He's incredible. He's different. He's different. He's something we've never seen. We've never seen this. It's crazy to me, like just me being the biggest Michael Jordan fan, to see somebody come around like this. I have my idea of me being incredible, you know what I mean? But this dude right here, like it's different. It's a whole different monster, as far as his handle and the way he shoots? C'mon. You know you ain't never seen nothing like this."

---

I guess the question is have we seen peak Curry yet- he might have one more level.

I really feel like this being your main argument is killing your lagitimacy. That's no different than me saying, "I think Lebron is better, I mean, DO YOU EVEN SEE HIM DOING THINGS?! It's awesome!"

OP probably won't understand this. He seems real dumb
