Steph first ever unanimous MVP

I agree that The first 6 will have to be consensual.

No doubt this is true, but you can do this with so many things. What if Bird didn't have a bad back? What if Magic didn't get the AIDS? What if Len Bias never met CollegeDoog?greenblood said:
I hate this "If only crap", but I have to say it. Had Jordan not changed sports, there's a good chance he could have had 8 rings in a row.dnc said:
That's still too short of a peak to be GOAT imo, and I'm a huge Steph fan. It would be the greatest four year run anybody ever had, but I still think the GOAT needs more excellence than that. Steph gets hurt a lot by his good but not great earlier career. Anyone else in the GOAT discussion dominated much earlier than Steph did. On one hand than demonstrated just how hard Currt has worked to get to this point. On the other it means he needs another four or five elite seasons to be in the discussion IMO.Doogles said:
You don't think IF Steph pulls a 4-peat doing this video game shit he won't be the GOAT?greenblood said:
Steph's a future high end hall of famer, Jordan should have his own building.Doogles said:Lol at the haters. Two more years of this and Curry = GOAT
I doubt he does it (this post season injury is a reminder how fragile he once was and most likely will be again as he ages), but pull the head out of the sand if you don't think his ceiling is still GOAT. LeBron's chance at GOAT status ended with his failures in South Beach. Curry is in LIPO mode.
He's changing the game more than Jordan. All Jordan did was give the refs the green light to stop calling travels and pushoffs on superstars.
And I have to respectfully disagree with APAG. Of course Curry didn't invent the three and GS didn't invent small ball, but Curry in particular has taken the three to places nobody ever imagined could be done well, both in terms of volume and in terms of distance. His impact on the league today might not be game changing but his impact on the kids following the game most certainly is. Does that make him more influential than MJ? Not yet by any means. Jordan's influence spanned a decade and a half in the league and carried out for another good fifteen years after he retired. If Steph has a career ending or even altering injury soon he won't finish close to that. If he gives another 5-7 years of elite play followed by three to five of very good play he'll have a shot. LIPO.
I get that he came back in 1995, but he came back late. He only played 17 games before the end of the regular season after taking more than a year and a half off. -
Steph wouldn't last a series against the Pistons the way they beat the fuck out of MJ...different game different rules,Curry has never been defended like they used to play D

My Blues can take the Warriors.

Yet Jordan still dropped 30+ per game.devildawg said:Steph wouldn't last a series against the Pistons the way they beat the fuck out of MJ...different game different rules,Curry has never been defended like they used to play D
Curry would be playing soccer if the old rules were still in effect.

This idea that the new players would get beat up if the old rules were in play is way overblown.PurpleThrobber said:

The new guys play softer because that's what the rules dictate. In a royal rumble to the death I'll take today's bigger, stronger, athletes over the guys of yesteryear.
Also Curry does 90% of his damage from outside, trying to mug him 35ft from the basket with all that space plays right into his hands. -
This made up debate about Curry sucks. He's really good.
-
Of course he's god he's great but let's not pretend he'd be cherry picking from 30 feet all night after getting mugged,checked,and thrown to the floor anytime he got near the paint
Love to see him checked by Pippen and Jordan all night,couple rib shots and a nut slap by Rodman...I'm sure he'd adjust to that type of game but right now I think he wilts,breaks and ends up on the bench holding is Vajayjay
Players may be bigger stronger but we're not talking Jerry West shit here....anyone think Manning would put up all time numbers if the QB was fair game? No,fucking way...there is a reason they only passed when they had to...your QB was about to get concussed -
LEAVE STEPH ALONE!

The difference between Wilt and the rest of the league in 1962 is staggering. Not so much with Curry. He is an amazing player, but he did not, by any stretch of the imagination, dominate the league to the extent that Wilt did. Different era, different game, but at the end of the day, claiming Curry had the best season in NBA history is beyond FS. After all, the true measure is how they fared vs. the rest of the league. And Wilt dominated like no one ever.NEsnake12 said:
