Every time I start to think Tatum is about ascend to a superstar he has awful games. 13/3 with 5 turnovers in an elimination game ain’t going to cut it.
 
Biggest Loser .....

KD

Curry and Co ... won before KD while actually beating Kd.

Won with KD? Although they sacrifices their chemistry and style for KD.

Won convincingly after KD ...
 
I think the eye test is deceptive.

Steph has been the best superstar i’ve ever seen at making a team much better than the sum of its parts. That’s not just on him that’s with Kerrs flexibility as a coach to build a system that allows Steph to do that. But his style of basketball and impact to tertiary players is unlike anyone i’ve seen in modern era. He allows players to unlock and use all of their offensive potential because what he does is give them either 4 on 3 or 1 on 1 opportunities all while moving around and touching the ball and not just standing in a corner.

Bron is the polar opposite of Steph. He has such individual brilliance and dominance over a game. He has the opposite impact though I feel where he diminishes the capability of the players around him and turns them into spot up shooters. And because he’s so good that might be all that’s needed.

In my eyes, when these two styles meet the steph system is a better one over the long haul because his players are more involved in winning and losing. I know we love to glorify steph or lebron but the rest of these guys were all at one point the absolute baddest man on their local state level. Even Looney was dubbed the next KD. They have skills to use that sometimes become dormant because they are forced to become so role specific at the NBA level usually by most teams.

I concur with all of this with you.

IMO with the eye test, I believe Steph is skillwise better at the game of basketball than Lebron. Lebron is an athletic freak with his brand of bully ball. Basic dribble package - how much skill does it take to put your head with the speed and power of a freight train down the lane. Score, fouled or draw the double team then kick out to the open guy. He has worked on his jump shot recently, but I remember the Spurs clogging the lane and daring him to shoot during those finals. Giannis can be Lebron 2.0 if he ever gets a jump shot going.

Steph. Greatest shooter of all time. Changed the game of basketball. He is the equivalent of Shaq in terms of putting the defense in a vacuum - except he’s doing it at half court and not in the paint. Top handles, passing. I‘m just happy to watch his greatness over these years.

The only thing Steph is better at on a basketball court than Lebron is shooting.

That’s literally it. Y’all are sick.

Had to show my feet so LIBS KNOW THAT I'VE BEEN ROCKING WITH DA DUBZ ALL YEAR.
 
All the ranking talk is good barbershop debates, in my life I got to see MJ, Kobe, Bron and Steph

MJ was a alien
Bron is a alien
Steph is a alien

Just enjoy the greatness 😎
Prolly best post in nt history

Dope for Steph to win a ring w/o KD and Bron won w/o kyrie too
 
Dissension is afoot though for real... I ended up by the tunnel where the players cars are and where they drive out. Al Horford stopped and talked to fans, Jaylen Brown stopped and talked to fans, Marcus Smart stopped and talked to fans, but Tatum didn't.

They were booing Tatum as soon as he touched the ball in the 4th it was insane. They booed him when he drove out the tunnel. Bottom tier fan base man. Letting all those Jim Crow, black and white TV titles go to their head.
 


never thought id see iggy back with GS, full circle
hes a key backbone for this team for sure
