This checks out.

Montana
Eli
Peyton
Brady

At least two of those, and probably three are disqualified as being human beings for being massive Trumpers (Peyton and Brady). Those two have been caught cheating as well so fuck em.

I would like to believe that Eli is not some douchey Trumper, but seeing as how his big brother golds with the furhrer.

So its really just Montana all by himself.

Who's top 2? Magic and Stockton?

Yeah I assume Stockton is #2, that's who I instantly thought of when hearing the Curry #2 argument.

If you consider him a PG, then maybe. But the NBA has largely went away from those labels, players now a days are classified as simply Guards, Forwards or Centers.

I would still put Stockton over him at this point, even without a title. Even looking at Curry's "greatest season ever" last year his Ortg is "only" 125, which Stockton did 3 years in a row with 22pts and over 15asts per 100.

Damn that's insane. In addition to his unbreakable steals record (and assists?).

Whoever wins the NBA title, I enjoy knowing no one is showing up to the White House. Except Dan Gilbert, I'm assuming he's there regardless paling around with Nugent, clapping Bannon on the shoulder telling him he's doing a great job.

He more likely than not cheated on his girlfriend Savannah. He may or may not have cheated on his wife Savannah.

Me and you have a better chance waking up with a billion dollars in 100s magically appearing at our bedside one day than an 18 year old pro athlete staying sexually monogamous for 15+ years.

I'd be happy to bring up Curry's clutch playoff shooting numbers in the past 2 years but Im sure we've had enough of that right?

Side note, stats.nba.com is still so awesome

I'd love for you to prove other wise.

Curry historically plays at his best during the 3rd quarter in the last 3 years. Averaged 3rd highest ppg ever in the 4th in the 15' finals. You've been proven otherwise saying the dumb shit but you've just ignored it and keep going on about it. I have to agree with whoever said that you're the Kawhi-hating version of the dude that got banned. I enjoy your tears though, they're almost as delicious as Bron getting humiliated by Curry in game 2 or KD in game 1.

Lets wait and see how this finals fares up before rating either KD or Curry. Narratives can change swiftly, and I agree with the poster above that people are dismissing the King a bit too early.

There's some shitty Lebron 3 quarters joke I should make here for Curry but I won't waste my time. Its still absolutely insane the amount of white washing he gets.

I wasn't aware anybody "proved" anything to me though. It seems like you all try your best to move the goalposts and hope others pile on. Meh.

Yeah those posts about Lebron not showing up in the 4th when the game was already over are the same quality of garbage that comes out of your posts. Again, your tears = delicious.

Someone already made a point about one of the games when you said he was front running in 3q until someone posted that the game was 4-5 points between the teams and you just ignored it. Spare me your victim complex, because no one is buying it. You've been posting garbage, you got proven wrong, you ignore points and then keep repeating the same garbage all over again.

The difference between Curry and Lebron is that Lebrons clutch numbers were actually good despite the narratives. But thats just the concept of the victors determining the history on display. I promise you though I don't like or dislike any player/team enough to be emotional

Honest question, what are you using to base the nonsensical notion that Steph Curry isn't a good clutch player? Your imagination? Steph is #2 in PPG in clutch situations in this playoffs and last year as well.

Jordan is the GOAT and will always be the GOAT. Would you put Bill Russell who has 11 championships over Jordan?

It's not always about the number of rings.

It's why Peyton will always be GOAT over Brady as well.
Click to expand...
I meant the flop.

Jordan had to learn to play ball. Lebron doesn't have to worry about getting pushed around like MJ did. IMO Bad Boys created Jordan. He was a star then, but they made him one of the best.

Why people hating on Steph? Good googly moogly, dude is at worst top 4 in the NBA and to many people, #2 and plays a beautiful game.

Random question. When the warriors won in 2015 there was a story that one of them hooked up with a pornstar named Lisa Ann. They ever say which warrior it was?

I am referring to the opposite of that. People constantly act like Curry has sucked in the Finals and isn't clutch. Just not true.

oh i know, i was just kidding. in 2015 i got so caught up in the fact that my dude iggy won FMVP that i bought into the whole narrative. only recently did i see curry really only had one bad game. :<

LeBron James says he's not tired guarding Kevin Durant, claims his numbers prove it. (link: http://cbsprt.co/2r32Hal) cbsprt.co/2r32Hal

I mean, he's right. He's putting up extraordinary numbers - averaging a triple-double. It's his teammates who aren't doing anything.

Cavs Cousin trade?

This trade is lateral at best as far as the Cavs are concerned. I think he's just as awkward as Love is for their lineups.

Get this shitass playoffs/finals over with so we can start the off-season...and eventually another playoffs/finals exactly like it next year. What a time.

So far we've had a lot of no-calls from the refs so I expect some whistles being blown more often than not by Game 4. and the Cavs don't look tired at all rather playing their "style" of ball. The difference between the Cavs and Spurs is Star power and depth both are crucial if you want to beat the Warriors.

Hard to hate Steph, that dudes career could have gone such a different route with those early career injuries. It would have been a shame to see his career cut short like Brandon Roy's.

GOAT AC Green never cheated.

That chart is wrong!
Click to expand...

AC Green is maybe the greatest example of the exception proving the rule:

Wikipedia said:
Green is known as deeply religious and is well known for proclaiming that he began and ended his NBA career as a virgin. During his playing days, his teammates would frequently send women to tempt him to compromise his morals. Green would respond by calmly quoting scripture.
