How about Jeannie Buss? - Would you bang her?![]()
As long as I am looking at younger women and not at a bunch of old hags - I am good with that
Aren't you the one that once said "I wish I had mind control over young girls" ?
Oh, and K. Leonard and LeBron are both better than Curry.......
The second reason - Lebron had plenty of chances to win more titles, but going down the stretch he failed to find ways to make the other players better and had the tendency to give up in the fourth quarter. In short he is not really a good closer and I think he was lucky to win any championships. Curry is one hell of a closer and granted that he might have a better cast of players then Lebron, I think one could argue that Curry also knew how to work with the other players as a team more then Lebron.
I don't think anybody, me included, thought he could completely lose his shot for such an extended period of time like that.I think before the playoffs began there was some sentiment that Curry was at least in the running for best player in the NBA (not MVP, different thing).
Now, I think we can all agree it's not even close...
I'm not 100% convinced that Curry is the best player on his team
Curry is the best shotmaker in the history of the game.
But basketball is played on both sides of the court. He has good hands to get steals....but he is a defensive liability because of his size and lack of elite athletic ability. It is extremely rare for one of the best player in the game to also be the worst defender consistently on the floor for his team. But curry is that exception.
The Warriors switch everything including lazy screens defense always was a double edged sword that had the potential to cut the Warriors...it just took almost 100 games to get to that point. Allowing Curry to be the on the ball defender whenever Cleveland wanted it was the reason the Warriors lost that series. If the Warriors fight thru just a handful of screens during this series in an effort not to let Curry guard the ball and Golden State is back to back champions.

Curry got abused by LeBron and Lue coached circles around Kerr. It took Kerr 6 entire games to finally make the adjustment to have AI go under the pick and pick LeBron up on the other side as opposed to just switch. LeBron is in decline. He is also still the best player in the league. He does not shoot the jumper as well as he did just a few years ago. You can let him shoot behind the pick if he wants. It is a better option that guarding him with curry, which he just destroyed.
Barkley and the baboons that work with him on TNT are suggesting that Lebron and Kawhi are better all around players. Then you have Lebron trying to be a philosopher about what you really call a mvp player and of course we are going to hear plenty from the Lebron Slurpers. And perhaps Lebron is the best player all around - but I would still take Curry over Lebron for several reasons. The first and biggest reason is age and decline. No one wants to hear it, but father time is undefeated and a star player in the limelight is limited. The second reason - Lebron had plenty of chances to win more titles, but going down the stretch he failed to find ways to make the other players better and had the tendency to give up in the fourth quarter. In short he is not really a good closer and I think he was lucky to win any championships.
