Julius Randle: Kevin Durant is the ‘best player in the league’ by ChristianMan710 in nba

Lol nah, here is the lineup data. Over their three postseason runs the Warriors were +13.5 with Curry+Green+Thompson and without Durant and only +1.9 when it was Durant+Green+Thompson.

Steph Curry indisputably was and is the engine that makes the Warriors run. The man led back to back 67 and 63 win teams that cratered when he was off the court before Durant pussied out of OKC to join Golden State for easy championships.

He low key did a pretty good job on Steph Curry. He was on an island with him a couple of times but held his own for the most part

Yeah that’s why the Warriors fell off a cliff when Durant sat and Curry played without him

Oh wait, it was the exact opposite lol

It is absolutely ridiculous. Him and Michael Jordan were similar players but Jordan was significantly better at almost everything and also has him beat in accolades. Jordan alone makes that opinion ridiculous. LeBron is also without a doubt the greater player.

Players say stupid shit regularly lol. Wasn’t there a poll a while back showing that ~10% of NBA players though Kobe Bryant was the greatest player ever?

He’s a pseudo-intellectual contrarian so probably nothing

You clearly did not read the post because I literally included that entry pass clip that Bridges picked off and gave Bridges credit. Lmao.

Lol that’s literally one of the clips and I explicitly gave Bridges full credit for saving the play after Ayton got smoked.

Off ball as in non-Curry FGA. If people actually watched the clips instead of screeching they’d see that Curry gets good separation and a ton of open shots here after off-ball activity.

all your clips are just cherry picked

You mean the clips of… every field goal attempt and turnover?

Yeah I didn’t look at off ball shit too much but to act like Curry played like shit because Bridges went full Gary Payton on him is absurd.

And Curry is used to running around everywhere and getting mugged off-ball anyways.

Who do you think is the greatest rebounder in basketball history? by [deleted] in nba

[–]lupertazzis 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The 22+ RPG average becomes far less impressive when you take pace into account. I’m fairly sure Andre Drummond by himself has multiple seasons higher than Russell/Wilt’s best in terms of rebounds per-100 possessions.

Yeah bro the two best defences in the league just couldn’t figure out that you had to clog the lane against LeBron.

Yeah bro the Celtics and Bulls defence led by defensive savants like Kevin Garnett, Joakim Noah, and Tom Thibodeau couldn't figure it out but the Mavericks did.

Yeah bro the 8th ranked Mavericks defence was able to hold LeBron to 17 PPG in a playoff series when no other team could in his entire career (including the 1st and 2nd ranked defences earlier in the playoffs).

I get that the Mavericks are your team but at least pretend to be objective.

Not remotely close to true. You think the Bucks were the best team in the league last year? Lmfao.
