Wiggins put the clamps on all his big matchups. Gave Luka and Tatum hard time. Wiggins with several blocks on Tatum at the rim and good contests. When Tatum got his switches onto Curry, Curry poked the ball away/steal or got help as Tatum makes his move causing Tatum to turn it over. Tatum going to need to evolve his passing to get to next-level

Ultimately, I hold 538 next most responsible for the Celtics loss in the Finals after Tatum.

Steph was a better defender than Marcus smart this series but they don’t want to talk about that Matt

Marcus "DPOY" Smart left poor Al Horford on an island with Steph multiple times in the 4th.

Didn't want any of that smoke.

Speaking of Horford shout out to him and Robert Williams. Dudes gave their all last night.

Quite false. The Playoffs were highly entertaining through the first 2 rounds, which were magic

BOS/MIA was solid

Finals had a ton of haymakers thrown at each other game by game

I'm satisfied as hell with it all

Didn't feel slighted or that any team got off easy with injuries and what not

Fair play to all and to the Warriors. Well earned ring

I personally enjoyed the finals alot, but that Bos/Mia series was GOD AWFUL. And I dont mean just cause it was blow out after blow out, those 2 teams playing each was just not fun to watch at all.

While not a perfect measurement of any sort.

Steph only has 1 season in the top 20 PER of all-time (15/16)

Giannis in particular is very underrated and kinda forgotten.

PER is not a useful statistic for this kind of comparison.
it's ultimately just an aggregation of boxscore stats pace adjusted.

Wilt for example has no business being in this conversation
he compiled a bunch of box score stats that didn't always translate to efficient total offence.

so he had a high PER but not the greatest offensive impact.

D Lee slanders are the best

Can't wait for the 2023 Western Conference Finals!

Off season talk off to a great start.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

It's wild how much better Steve Nash offensive teams were relative to league average.

but it's hard to give him the credit since the rest of the league was still struggling with concept of 3 being bigger than 2.

 

[Iron Man]

Can't wait for the 2023 Western Conference Finals!

Lol WCF? Grizzlies? Stop

They overachieved this season and will be a play in the team at best next season.

On the other hand, my Dubs are winning back to back. Number five on the way.

Serious question ....

When people say overall, what does this mean?

Steph does it all .....

People keep saying his D ... but his D is solid (pause) ...

He dishes and he gets everyone involve ....

If anything he is an overall better player than .... insert name!

Now that hardware is there ... but he doesnt have as many MVP/Final MVP/etc ...

Jokes ..

This shirt is mad lazy though. This is the NBA Finals, it looks like I got this shirt from a street vendor.

This is a shirt of a team that expects to lose. The digital era is killing keepsakes. There was no tickets, no programs, just lazy shirts and tickets on my phone.

I know a car wash rag when I see one…

And this is a car wash rag, sir.

Question;
Is Steph the greatest offensive player of all time?

to define terms;
take a player at the peak of their powers
and give them a set a reasonably well fitting average NBA players,

which players team will produce the highest offensive rating
relative to their rule set and era

Here I think are the contenders

Kareem
Jordan
Shaq
Steph
Lebron
Oscar

Curry is a better offensive player than everyone on this list but jordan. from paint. mid, 3 ball, off ball, off the dribble not a single thing he is not elite at.

 

[dacomeup]

Isn't Hov from Brooklyn though?

What billionaire does good things?

 

[MVP]

It's wild how much better Steve Nash offensive teams were relative to league average.

but it's hard to give him the credit since the rest of the league was still struggling with concept of 3 being bigger than 2.

And even wilder with all that got 2 fraudulent MVPs and zero finals trips to show for it.

His potential was to carry the Timberwolves as the next franchise superstar.
