Lebron is also 3 years older than curry and has double his amount of playoff games played….this equates ti 5 more seasons of basketball under his belt lol. So her argument about having less talent on his team than lebron this season falls on deaf ears.

Thank you Chiney or bringing the discussion back on topic instead of Shay Shay’s endless Lebron glazing.

What about 2014-2018? Who had more help curry or bron?
@Hoops-Insider-q1q

Why do we excuse Steph’s fatigue but never gave LeBron the same benefit of the doubt? Shouldn’t all great players be held to the same standard, or is this just media bias?

Espn can not accept the race of the best womens player in the world, and the best mens player in the world. There is no black or white, ACCEPT AT ESPN. FIRST TAKE IS UNWATCHABLE. SAS is most race baiting man in sporys industry. Sharpe used to have credibility, smith has infected him

The entire team is Curry. It doesn’t work without him. What do they expect them to do?
@leaky07
March 19, 2025 at 2:18 am
Lol May be because He and Jimmy take up 50+% of the team’s salary and they can only afford draymond and g league players for the rest of the roaster.

He tried to compare a guy who rest the games just bcuz , vs a guy who actually sits when he’s injured. Do you know where the hell GS would be if Steph randomly took off games for rest.

Kerr needs to give Steph a simpler play book. Steph can no longer sustain running around the court to get open. They should give him high pick and rolls to reserve his legs. His shot is falling flat lately probably due to his age. His legs don’t work like they used to.
