    love the warriors, but "the city" on the front and a cablecar on back is kind of dumb when you play in OAKLAND.

    Wob, it is a throw back from when they played in San Fran, which they happen to be moving back to in 2018. You are just bitter about your Jazz.

    Disagree. The beauty of Magic and LBJ is that they can post, play forward, grab rebounds, drive the hole with aggression, and on and on. In baseball, it's a five tool player. The complete package. Curry is certainly an elite shooter all time, but he doesn't have the versatility that they do. I say this since you brought up Magic.

    the only thing curry doesn't do is get a lot of blocks ... still he isn't leading player in fantasy basketball no matter what the format for no reason ... sure, magic and lebron are bigger and they can post certain players up ... but if the sole purpose is to get shots closer to the rim to therefore have a better shooting % - well, curry has the better shooting %s ... check out a stat called effective fg % ... he beats both magic and lebron by a wide margin ...

    not sure which is more impressive, Golden State Warriors at 14-0 or the Sixers at 0-13 :confused:

    Golden State 86-14 in their last 100 regular season games. wow.

    I'm not saying that posting up is the sole purpose of a guard. But the greatest guards possess all the skills. Run the floor, shoot, drive, post, deliver, rebound, steal and block. Curry does many of those, but not all of those. Magic, the Big O, Lebron.. these are the elite of the elite IMO. All three of them could have played the 1, 2, or 3. Magic and O played the 1 officially, LBJ is a 3. But they could do all of them at any point.

    guards are not meant to block ... sure, if you get blocks from your guards - it's a bonus .. either way - it's purely a size thing ... how do we define greatness? ... to me it's the ability of a player to as many facets of the game ... curry is a better shooter than lebron and magic by quite a margin ... that's not just shooting 3's ... from all areas of the floor and that's without the benefit of getting a lot of dunks like lebron ... curry involves his teammates ... he rebounds and although he's probably not the best defender ... he gets a ton of steals - an indication that he's got great instincts for the game ...

    for sure curry has a few years to go to be considered in the same elite level of magic and lebron ... still, he's been the best player in the league for the last 2 years ...

    Kobe has always come across as kind of a dick but have to give the man's play respect. One of the top 20 players in NBA history. hell of a career.
