NBA - Main

Not sure what this sample size is from.

The 2016 WCF which happened to be a 7 game series.

But Curry was never better that KD and I explained why

Is that why curry smokes KD in every impact metric imaginable, has the much deeper ties to winning, is the better post season scorer, the much much much better playmaker, has the much better lineup data without one another, is that why he dwarves KD in making his teammates shooting efficiency sky rocket with him and crater without him? Is that why Curry won before Durant, won 73 games, then beat KD head to head, won with KD, then proceeded to decisively beat the team that embarrassed KD in the 2022 finals?

Curry has the deeper ties to winning. KD has the deeper ties to losing.

Sure the best shooter ever sure has had many amazing moments

Curry is the much better on ball playmaker, he’s the best off ball playmaker in the history of the sport, he’s the better cutter, screen setter, he’s the much better ball handler and passer, he’s much much better at punishing extra defensive coverage and he obviously is the much more resilient post season scorer.

But there’s also a thing called defense

I love this argument. If KD was such a more impactful defender, then why isn’t he close to curry when it comes to impact? Why doesn’t KD’s good defense and curry’s “bad defense” make up for the massive gap in impact?

Ill tell you why. Because curry is a neutral to slightly positive defender while Curry’s offensive output is unmatched of his generation outside of Lebron james.
