Nick Wright & Bomani Jones DEBATE if Steph Curry or Kevin Durant is a better all-time player ‼ 🍿

[@seanlowry6014]

What reason is there for KD to be above Steph? Fewer titles(never won without Steph), Fewer MVPs, less regular season and playoff success, and statistically no more clutch? I swear just because he's taller people give him credit for stuff he's never done + They both lost after being up 3-1, difference is Steph did it against Lebron and KD against Steph..

As great as Durant is I’m taking Curry first all time. Nobody can do what Curry does. Whereas MJ, Lebron though not as good jump shooters are still better than KD while being as versatile especially so for Lebron.

[@cn3460]

With KD it’s about coaching, culture and expectations. At OKC and the Nets they run simple iso and ask him to shoot 40, 50 from 3 & 2 but no cutting or screening like every other baller. So you get iso supreme KD. With Kerr at OKC and Coach K team USA he cuts and plays like a regular baller. He’s the best team USA baller all time as he’s never lost in the finals and has 4 golds. That’s playing real ball with no help from rules and playing against matchup zones. Many NBA ballers don’t want to play FIBA as it exposes their game and brand. Just watch past knock out games involving Harden, LBJ, Iverson, Duncan, Tatum, Beal plus many others who make >$30M. Even Steph is not Steph. Yet Manu, Scolla and old Oscar Schmidt would light up team USA. Anyway the NBA is going in the right direction even if the leading scorer stat goes down 5 ppg

One thing people don’t realize… when KD and Steph played together, KD’s numbers and the Warriors’ offensive rating significantly fell off with Curry on the bench. Yet with KD on the bench, Curry’s numbers and the Warriors offense barely dipped. Point is, Steph makes the game so much easier for those around him. Curry was easily the best player on those dynasties, even if KD scored a bit more.

[@flamingballsofsteel]

Let’s set aside the fact that ones a point guard and runs the offense lol, but do you really think that means steph is better? That system was built around steph. Of course if you take the main ingredient to something away it’s going to be worse. Like on a pizza, if you take the sauce away you’re not getting much of a pizza. Take the pepperoni away and you’ll still be ok. To their scheme Kd was the extra piece not steph.

[@cn3460]

KD playing with GS is different than both OKC and Nets. It’s all about what coaches allow and specifically stressing KD’s movement without the ball. The great superstar players are stationary in the half court as the coaches protect their energy and frankly kiss up. Kerr didn’t and the GS team essentially insisted on KD move without the ball which he did also under coach K for team USA and with U of Texas. Nash comes from a team oriented pass and cut background but he differs to the star player’s will. Steve has to get KD and Harden to commit.

[@futrpdr]

I've been saying this about LBJ for a long time. He never had coaches stand up to him or had enough credibility to make him play a different style of basketball. There's a reason, besides his greatness, that his teams look completely different when he's injured or not on the floor. Player movement and being able to "touch the ball" throughout the game keeps players active and engaged. As great as LBJ is, no one wants to just sit in a spot on the court and watch that dude handle the ball and then have it tossed to them like a hot potato at the end of the shot clock. If you look at the teams who won most of the championships during the 21st century, they had ball movement and/or player movement. The Lakers had 2 HOFers, but they ran the triangle. The Spurs offense is dictated by player and ball movement; the Warriors the same. Even the Pistons won a championship because of movement.

[@cn3460]

@@futrpdr - very astute as I agree. Only last year and prior can a player like KD as great as he is and to some extent Harden, play iso at the top in a team game and shoot efficiently against help defenders where you essentially rise and shoot or step back for 4 quarters. In real FIBA/NCAA ball you can’t succeed at that with clever D. With the new NBA refereeing rules, it’s closer to real ball. These rule changes will lower ppg but produce a better NBA baller particularly vs. international competition. What’s your take.

So here is the question I have in regards to who is the better player. Does a bad team make a Superstar better or worse? I was watching Steph last season and I saw how much he was struggling stat-wise. The team wouldn't rebound (offensive & defensive = no second attempt shots, couldn't get possession), couldn't make shots (crippled his assist despite passing a whole bunch), and would be on the losing side once Steph stepped off the floor (forcing a lot of his games to be a comeback game despite leading at the start). On the other hand, he got to shoot more because he was almost always the only reliable scorer on the team (the reason why he was double, triple & quad guarded a lot).

If he does he'll be like an undiscovered great who pops up on the scene in her fifties. Difference in getting assists and running a team. Steph curry gets single digit assists but he orchestrates thirty a game.

20:08 KD VS STEPH TALK

[@firstnamelastname-ko3ge]

Steph is the Greatest Shooter of all time, Will own the 3- point record, every shooting record ever, Only Unanimous MVP, 2x MVP, 3x Scoring Leader, will AT LEAST retire with 5 Rings, Changed Basketball, Most Impactful Player ever… How do you put KD over that? 😂

[@cillyprodd]

How will he win 2 more?

[@firstnamelastname-ko3ge]

@@cillyprodd Without a doubt winning a ring either this year or next year with another addition and When Steph is 38-40 years old getting ready to retire. Jordan Poole, James Wiseman, and Kuminga will be in their prime. So I see Steph winning one more ring with this current core and AT LEAST one more with the future core. Depending how good prime Jordan Poole and Wiseman is will determine how many rings Steph retires with

[@flamingballsofsteel]

Well, kd is the best and most efficient scorer ever lol 3’s or no 3’s. Kd has an mvp. Two finals mvps(steph has none) a finals appearance without steph and 4 scoring champs. Steph only has two scoring titles. And will retire with 3 rings at the least. Now we can get into all nba appearances where kd has two more then steph and 4 more all star games then steph. 3 more playoff appearances. Kd 27ppg career steph 24. Kd 7 rpg career steph 4. Kd 4 apg career steph 7(only three less being a forward) career fg% kd 49 steph 47 and in the playoffs kds stats blow stephs out the water. Stop being a fanboy

[@minhanhle4027]

Just because you are a better overall player doesn't mean you rank higher in all-time ranking. all-time ranking values legacy more than just being the better player. and Steph has a better legacy than KD. That's why he is, in my mind, higher in all-time ranking

[@impressivejay1916]

So when S.Curry drop 38 points on LBJ and beat Lebron James that same year to win the chip, no one said he was better than Lebron James... Keep in mind this the 1st time GSW beat Brooklyn since KD been in New York..People switch sides faster than the wind change direction. GET OUT OF HERE... Oh yeah here comes the LBJ fans excuses...

[@Random_001]

Look at the talent in brooklyn, of they gonna beat the warriors with a g league team when they have 3 superstars playing. This year the warriors got supporting pieces and made some g league players to nba players and they are rolling with steph as the driver. We can't say steph is better than lebron is cuz lebron has won many things without him playing with steph, durant came to golden state and the golden state were champions without him.

[@impressivejay1916]

@@Random_001 I was talking about the game where J.Harden didn't play my guy. Why you all wait till after the 1st GSW beat Brooklyn to say S.Curry is better. No one had this conversation before the game. You all waited till they won then decided to say S.Curry better, and you all know if Brooklyn won that game we not having this conversation. KEEP IT 100

[@Random_001]

@@impressivejay1916 the conversation was there before the game. both teams had their calendars marked and remember the front runners kd and steph, also for the best player rn, this game was the tie breaker.

The system runs through Steph, while players like KD and Klay are playing off ball.

[@ceceroxy2227]

Curry is the most skilled player ever, best shooter, ever, one of the best ball handlers ever, tremendous passer which nobody recognizes, best at moving without the ball, and gets all his teammates involved.

[@Roadrunna24]

More than det he makes his team amazing

[@WeBslappin]

Steph is the only player in the league that has his own offense, KD doesn’t get picked up at half court and is a ball stopper.

[@craigsimmons5949]

Curry over Durant and it’s not close. What has Durant done w/out Steph?

[@curtism4548]

Well, he took a team to the finals at the age of 23. Just went up against prime Lebron, prime Wade, and Bosh. Steph won it and he gets credit but the team he played against...seriously? Lebron and Deladulava (however you spell his name). He had Westbrook, but we should know by now that he has been overrated. And harden came off the bench and played horrible.
