Steph and Giannis the only players I've seen average 25 in a finals with a knee ligament injury and they still get trashed 😂
Steph played with the avengers to beat one man
@@imaginehavingalimit LeBron hand picked his team and had refs on his side. Relax... Man was out here tackling people without a foul call
@@kwhitevuu99 he didn’t hand pick those Cavs teams, y’all say stuff without knowing. Like LeBron wanted his second best player being gorge hill😐
This is sports nobody cares about injuries, every player is dealing with some type of injury at this point so keep that same energy for the Celtics because Marcus Smart got a bad ankle, Tatum has a injured left risk and Robert Williams playing on a bad knee
Steph is the most overrated player guy has no defense, has no handles, turns over the ball on and can't carry his team to the final single-handedly like LeBron or giannis. All he does is shoot threes. If he's having a bad night, he's basically deadweight to the team this year. The only reason why they're even in the finals is due to people like Jordan pool and other people on his team that are averaging 15 to 20 points a night
"Can we get Skip Bayless?"
Mom: "We have Skip Bayless at home!"
Skip Bayless at home:
Old stale unoriginal
😂🔥
😂😂
The wish version
@@sbj97 wise?????
People like Mad Dog are the reason I think the media voting for sports awards is bs.
- Triggered Warriors and Steph Curry fan boy 😂
I agree with you, but who should vote then? I don’t think players or coaches would vote honestly either.
@@Theyaintme_cb6 4-6 lmfao 🤡
lmao mad dog is right
True but i think It would've been worse with ex players voting tbf
Media not giving Steph FMVP in 2015 fucked up basketball discourse and gave light to so many terrible narratives.
It’s actually despicable when you think about. Knowing how hard it is to to make it to the finals and win championships.
They gave it to iggy assuming the warriors would be back and Steph will have other opportunities to win. Even tho steph was clearly the best player and closer on the court for his team
@@teezy9790 and if he wins it this year i think they’ll still say it was a “ easy path “
He ain't deserve it plain and simple iguodala the one who made the clutch plays and defense on lebron Steph was getting outplayed by delavadova most the series
@@spazz8682 one iggy was able to make clutch shots cause of Steph letting defense leave him open and him guarding Lebron is a joke as Lebron still average 30+ which everyone wanted to give Lebron the award even tho he was on the losing team. The guy who should have won it is Steph cause besides Lebron Steph was the best player in that series and on the team
@@spazz8682 Yeah he held LeBron to 36 points per game, really locked him up
He up here calling Stephen a his “little buddy”. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fr!
stephen A is right. everyone is talking about the 2015 warriors as if they were the modern day warriors. they were absolutely kids that had no experience in the finals and still beat the best modern player of our time in lebron. also, if the roles were reversed and the warriors played without steph and klay, and the cavs won that series, would these talking heads call it a fluke win like the do for the dubs? the disrespect leveled at Steph is ridiculous
Of course if the stars were out for warriors and Cavs won, we’d say well they got lucky.
Without the weakest move in nba history curry would only have 1 ring, therefore curry with 4 rings and 1fmvp he’s top 14 behind Isaiah Thomas and Olajuwon don’t listen to these bought takes
So we just gonna forget how KD lost to Curry at OKC after a 3-1 lead in 2016 with Westbrook, Ibaka and Adams? 🤷♂ Cmon now..
This gets skipped over so often, and i don't understand why either.
Steph only gets blame for the 3-1 he lost against an MVP with a squad. No credit for overcoming the 3-1 deficit against 2 MVPs.
Makes sense.
@@rabbijoe316 I would like to see what narrative they come up with next if he wins another chip and a finals MVP. Maybe they gonna critisize him for not breaking the all time 3's record or not shooting a dam full court shot in the finals lmao these analysts man I swear .. 🤦♂
bunch of bums are just jealous of curry. that's all.
Steph led Warriors in scoring 3 of 4 games in 2018 and scored 37 in the close out game. He got robbed all bc of game 3. He hit the go ahead 3 in game 3 too. No one brings this up
Doesn’t matter the Durants warriors still happened, therefore curry with 4 rings and 1fmvp is top 14 behind Isaiah Thomas and Olajuwon
These analysts never mention how tyronn lue has said the focus of their defense was to blitz curry. Durant went off (in part) because of the gravity that curry plays with. Couldn't stop both and they chose to stop curry so curry did what a good pg should do, let the other guy go off. Think curry averages like 26 6 n 6 or something in the finals.
So u say curry was the reason kd could shoot over people n play defense n finish at the rim bc that seems like talent too me
Look I have respect for curry, but people act like the other teams dont do that to Kobe, LeBron MJ and all the other all time greats. So idk why "he was heavily defended" counts for anything when most other star players have to deal with that and find ways to take over.
That was 2016
@@NbaXmixtapes KD had that talent in OKC but that’s wasn’t enough. 😂
Why does that matter if he was doubled or noy
It’s funny how people talk about the cavs being injured but won’t talk about it when it happened to the warriors in 2016 or how they would have won against the raptors even with no kd if klay just didn’t get hurt but no kawhi was getting all the praise in the world for beating a hurt team
Horrible comparison
you’re a moron steph curry lover i can tell
Kinda like how they tried to discount the finals runs last season but want to act like Middleton being injured and the Suns choking in game 7 weren’t a big deal.
Gsw was up 3-1 .. injuries had nothing to do wit it then.. if you wanna go there gsw played jokic this year no murray or porter, grizzlies ja was injured as well
Lol 2016 they were not injured 😂😂
Klay was also hurt in Toronto. In Cleveland, Draymond was suspended for a game and Steph was ejected in another.
Edit: To be clear I’m mentioning these because Steph seems to be the only who gets his accomplishments downplayed because of circumstances. I pointed these out as not excuses as to why they didn’t win, but to point out Steph and the Warriors have also had circumstances that helped opposing teams. Had they not happened maybe things go differently or maybe they stay the same. My only point was to point out Warriors have circumstances as well
Curry got ejected in the last 2 minutes draymond getting suspended would not stop them getting blown out by 20 in that game lol
Excuses excuses lol 😂
@@quicko1418 iguodala and bogut got hurt that game along with the fact draymond missed the game...

@@jadengrant6063 yeah that might be true
@@jadengrant6063 clearly says nba finals
@@robinilouga he played 1 game in the Toronto series even though he left with an injury, so 9-1
Worst thing about people like mad dog is that they are in charge of voting for awards. Sports media needs a serious overhaul
2016 steph was playing with a sprained mcl and 3 other starters were hurt, stop ignoring the 2016 injuries and bringing up the 2015 injuries
The injuries for the warriors were obviously not near at detrimental to them as the injuries to the cavs in 2015. Don’t over sell it.
The reason why it’s completely different is because they had a 3-1 lead prior to the injuries. All they had to do is win ONE GAME just one. With 2015 Kyrie played 1 game and KLove didn’t play a single game in the finals. Those two situations aren’t comparable
Shh that goes against the casual’s narrative
😂😂people making excuses for 2016 now, nah bruh dont start that… not even finna argue about why that is not the same
@@dylanallen7720 THANK YOU. People acting like Steph missed THE ENTIRE SERIES like Love and Kyrie did in 2015.
Bron has been to the finals 10 times and lost 6 of them, people never wanna bring that up, Kd wasn’t gonna win anything until he joined curry- kd needed them not the other way around, can’t take anything away from curry just because his organization is great at developing talent. Curry never needed to leave his team of join a stacked team in order to win a chip where as others did
Context is important nobody was going to beat the KD warriors and LeBron lost Kyrie in 2015 so that's 3 rings LeBron missed out on Curry is lucky.
Stephen A. has a great point at the end of this video. People are looking at the Warriors who won the chip in 2015 like they we're already a proven team. No they weren't at that time. And even the Cavs at that time lost Kyrie and Love, they faced a "LeBron James" team. That's a PRIME James.
bron was in his prime at 30? u don’t know basketball 😂😂
@@greg7574 27 to 32 years of age is the average NBA players prime.....What are you on about?
Little did they know all of these Steph Curry debates are about to unlock a whole new beast in the Finals..
I doubt it.
Lol Steph always good when he got the way better team
It’s funny cause they talk about Steph but out of every player in the league you never hear a word from Steph about how he feels about these topics
@@trickstergamer3383 yup Steph might have choking tendencies but he definitely don't have snowflake tendencies
@@spottedlionartorias9899 this match-up is even this year what are you talking about? it's a 50-50 series them Cs had a tougher path to get to the finals and they hardened and play defense. As a warriors fan this can go either way
The short answer is it doesn't. He's won championships and broken records. There are HOF'ers that do less. What really matters to his legacy is, what he does AFTER, if he losses the finals? Does he come back time and time again? Win some lose some? Does he continue to bring the best out of his teammates and play the way he always play?
It does affect Curry in the rankings because he doesn't have a real ring. In 2015 the Cavs missed two of their top 3 players and Steph particularly underperformed in that series and he didn't even win finals MVP. 2016 was an all time choke job. 2017 and 2018 had Durant while playing way worse Cavs teams. If the warriors beat the Celtics and Steph performs well, that would absolutely be a huge needle mover for his legacy and in the all time rankings.
@@36firerahul Steph Curry averaged 25.8 ppg that series. He easily deserved that FMVP
@@cfhar080591 yeah while the Cavs missed 2 of their top 3 players. That is very impressive. I'm sorry but Curry has genuinely not proven he can be the lead guy in the playoffs.
@@36firerahul Yeah because he's not doing anything in this year' playoffs
@@36firerahul Instead of asking you rhetorically if Lebron's rings counts in Miami because Rondo's arm broke, or if his other rings count because Kyrie and Ray Allen hit those game winners? I'll just follow your logic that he doesn't have much of a legacy now anyways. So either way it doesn't matter. Like I said, he's made 6/8 finals, accomplished quite a few things for himself, this series will probably just be one of many he will have in his career. Reminder: Pretty sure GSW is down 2 to 3 crucial players at the moment.
These analyst never talk about how the Cavaliers coach said that Curry was the best and most dangerous player and that’s why he was double-teamed there is no shame in Kevin Durant being a lesser player then curry. Curry is just a better player it’s OK. Curry actually goes up in statistics in the finals but it goes against the narrative
Doesn’t matter the Durants warriors still happened for 3 years therefore curry with 4 rings and 1 fmvp is top 14 behind Isaiah Thomas and Olajuwon
Same KD that lost to Celtics in round 1 with kyrie?
Bet em last yr
I always say the same thing Steven a pointed out. Steph Curry played really well and the 2015 finals. He averaged 26.3 points per game and that finals. He doesn’t control the voting, therefore he wasn’t able to make them give him the trophy. Andre Iguodala averaged 16 points in that series, which is not bad at all. But he only won MVP because most voters cited the fact that the series shifted dramatically once he was inserted into the starting lineup. Am I opinion, Stephen Curry still should’ve won the MVP trophy that year. The fact that he didn’t shouldn’t be a knock against him.
LeBron should have won on the losing team and Im not even a Bron fan. He was clearly light years ahead of every other player on the court, without him the Cavs would have lost every game that series. GS without Curry would have a legitimate chance of going at a bare minimum 7 games without him
@@jasontyson3658 nah
@@TopDrifter203 When the guy wins the MVP award because he was able to slow 1 guy down that shows how far ahead of every1 that 1 guy is
Saying Iguodala deserved FMVP over steph cause is like saying
Pippen deserved fmvp over Jordan
Bruce Bowen deserves mvp over Duncan
Bad comparison sorry
Horrible comparison
@@stephonaugustin1384 how? Your telling me that iggy defense on lebron was the turning point in the series win against Cleveland. Well then I can say the same for Scottie clamping up magic Johnson in 91
Outside of a Westbrick-esque Game 2, Curry actually played very well in the series.
Averaged 27.4 PPG on 49.5 FG% and 46.0 3PFG%.
@@teezy9790 when you defend the only guy worth defending and actually do a good job, that's more valuable than scoring since Lebron was the only player they had to worry about and Iggy played great against him
If KD is so good how come he lost to the Warriors while up 3-1? But I guess people only forget what the Warriors did. KD is so lethal that he couldn’t close out the warriors.
Same Reason People Think That Lebron Is The Greatest When He Had One Of The Worst Playoff performances from a star in the finals
Yeah y'all milk that one series where kd underperformed . He was facing a 73 win team. Why don't we milk how curry lost to 2nd year ja morant in the play in last year? If he's so good why did he lose back to back games against injured lakers and 9th seed ja morant.
Not to mention he's been outplayed in every series by jokic ja and luka respectively

I hate these media guys man, warriors have been the best team in the west for the last 8 years

The disrespect to Stephen Curry smh 🤦♀️ . I can’t wait for this Finals series to start so everyone can just shut up.
Curry has been to the finals 6 out of the last 8 years. Curry has been there every time.
No one wants to give him his roses. Kevin Durant Doesn't get MVP without Curry.
Look at what he did since he left. Curry still putting in work.
Look at the team...they are back.

@@leonardomoore1868 KD wins nothing without GS. It's not even a debate. GS was a champion before KD. Before all the injuries they where about to be crowned again. 👑
Yall need to stop ✋️
Curry is the only player that can make every player look better than they are just by stepping on the court.
Look at every player that has left golden state. Besides KD, they all kinda disappear into the ether. KD won't win a ring either. He got his 2. He is great but he needs another super star and Kyrie ain't it.
False
The title they got before KD two of the key players on the other team were injured
I like these 2 guys debating
I love seeing these two debate it’s so entertaining 🍿👏🏻
Bob Cousy 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Aint no way steven a smith just violated a man and said “god rest his soul” in the same sentence
Right VIOLATION
The heck was the "bar of soap" shower stuff about too lol sort of a disastrous segment, but I love it all the same
Molly and SAS looking at each other when this dude started talking about dropping the soap and showers is priceless
These are the same analyst! Even before curry’s entry into the nba ! Said he wouldn’t make it. Now ! We sit here to talk about his legacy which is funny.
The graphic was wrong. It was 2015 NBA Finals Game 6.
In 2016 Draymond got suspended and Bogut and Steph were hurt among a few other injuries on that team.
If I could draft KD or Steph in their primes, I’m taking Steph, and it was an easy decision. Steph is much harder to game plan for
Lol nah.
steph is not that guy without klay the last 2 years proved it
@@TRILLTALKTV imagine says that Curry is not that guy😮💨😂
Steph benefitted from injuries in 2015. The Cavs and Raptors benefitted from injuries in 2016 and 2019. But they only mention 2015.
warriors were up 3-1 in 16, they coulda rested. 2016 cavs were MISSING their 2 best players. they weren’t playing while still injured. 2019 raptors ONLY won because of injuries, not the same case in 2016
@@cordo. If drey doesn't get suspended we winning tha series
@@cordo. how is the 2019 finals not the same comparison? The Warriors had two of their stars hurt just like the 2015 Cavs. You and your anti Warriors bias smh.
KD would have trouble guarding Curry. Stop playing. We know KD is great but u have to give respect and honor where its due. Stop limiting curry. Kd isnt doubled and triple teamed like curry. If we are only talking offensive scoring, regardless of how its done whether by height inside or out, Curry is just as good as KD, some could argue more lethal
Agree but you start out with KD would have trouble gaurding Steph? Lol Steph has no shot at guarding KD 😂
Ummm the graphic says 2016..that lineup was from 2015
It would be amazing if you could choose what team you played in the Finals. These analyst are wild. They will talk about how Lebron dominated the East, but then say look at the lineup that the Warriors got to face in the Finals. You can only play who is on the schedule lol.

@@goldensniper8274 definitely they only gave it to Iggy for the narrative that he slowed down LeBron which isn't even true
Lookin at lineup is crazy... Out of the 5 players who are u really counting on to get buckets? .. Mozgov and Thompson with delly
How about discussing the finals and the strategy each team should use instead of looking for cheap hot takes ?
We need more of mad dog tho
Warriors are the only team that’s held accountable for other teams injuries. Lol
Lol these 2 are perfect together man
Wasn’t that the 2015 Finals ?
did they even talk about the gervonta ko at all?
Stats from game 6 are from NBA Finals 2015, not 2016
I f’n love these guys😂😂😂
I think they just struck gold with this duo
Same storyline for days. ESPN is unwatchable until the games actually start.
Dig the Mr Furley suit on Mad dog 😄
ESPN got the 2016 Finals with Andre Iguodala as Finals MVP! That’s wrong! Get it together ESPN!
What about klay not being there when kd isnt there stat means nothing where’s new media ?
i remember when y’all was calling matt dellavedova the curry stopper😂😂😂. cavs we’re bad but any team missing option 2&3 is gonna be bad.
Mad Dog “ another title would be great for curry but he ain’t passing up Bob Cousy”
if he said that he should never be allowed to first take again 🤦🏽♂️ what is goin on? 🤣🤣🤣
How they discredit curry for beating a hurt Cavs team but praise KD for joining Steph after losing to him?
Before clicking on this I knew Mad Dog would be shitting on Curry
You can only play who's infront of you
that cavs team 2015 roster was pretty good defensively Delevadova almost saved that series he was balling.
Balling putting up 7.5 points per game and shooting 28% 😂
Why is this guy hating on steph. Steph never gets a call or the respect he deserves
Steph was injured in 2016, 2017 and 2019 and the fact that the media tries to minimize him to a great shooter who Choked is Crazy. Like he ain't been hitting Clutch Buzzer Beaters his whole career
Why is it that pointing out injuries and suspension in 2016 is excuses but pointing out injuries in 2015 isn't? Both teams traded the titles they should have won, stop making excuses, attrition is part of the competition, you get injured on the way that's just how it goes.
Chris sounds like the Principal from Problem Child
I forgot how bad that Cavs lineup was until they posted it on the screen🤣🤣🤣
The history for me!
What are KDs stats without Steph? Because I think that is also a fair way to look at his legacy- the hardware that he brought to people that wouldn't have got one without him
They keep talking about legacy as if 30 is retiring lol
You know who really loves all these crazy debates about his life; W. Stephen Curry II. Every time someone tells him he can't...he does! Every time one door closes he takes full advantage of the open window and when he does he turns mediocre into greatness; Davidson College, Golden State Warriors, Under Armour the list goes on.
Lol can bring up the warriors not winning at home doesn’t mention the draymond suspension and injuries but in 2015 oh they were injured
These analysts really keep using injuries as a reason to diminish Steph’s accomplishments. Players get injured everyday, it’s not a valid reason. If that’s the case then almost everyone’s title should be diminished. It’s a ridiculous argument.
Actually it isn't. Beating a Cavs team with no Love or Kyrie was a cake walk. Plenty of people think that way.
lmao I've had this Curry debate with many people in-person; no one has stopped me yet, so I dare anyone who agrees with Doggie to try:
In 2016, Curry sustains an MCL Sprain in game 4 of round 1. For the rest of the postseason, he struggles to drive left, always having to shuffle his feet and push off his left leg (which isn't natural). He can't sprint around screens or back-cut effectively. He looks regressed physically and I watched those games. He resorts to being a sharpshooter the entire playoffs and when he tries to go left, he redirects back to his right. In those Finals, the Cavs defensive game plan was to force him left every time knowing he couldn't and double teamed him.
The Warriors went up 3-1 because they straight up were the better team. It took a bogus suspension of their DPOY in a pivotal game 5, their 7ft rim protector Bogut being out for games 5, 6, 7, and the reigning finals MVP having back problems to shift the momentum back to the Cavs. I give them all the credit for making the comeback but I don't use that to diminish Curry. He did as well as he could, took contested 3s all postseason, lived and died by them, and lost in Game 7 of the NBA Finals by 4 points. All while playing through injury and not making it an excuse.
Compare him to his first ever NBA finals where he was healthy and its like night and day.
I DARE U TO LOOK UP: Stephen Curry Full Game 4 Highlights at Cavaliers 2016 Finals - 38 Pts, 6 Ast, SICK!
Now go to the 2:32 mark
BTW from now on when this 2016 take is brought up by any of these 'analysts' IM POSTING THIS SAME COMMENT
Mr. A always talk about things we already know
Mad dog is not built for TV. He is definitely a radio guy lol.
Mad Dog brought up Magic's 40 point salvo as evidence that he performed great before the '84 Finals. You act like Steph never had a great game like that before 2016... So Steph's championships with Durant don't count, but Magic winning with Kareem in his MVP year does? Make it make sense.
If the Warriors win and Steph brings home the FMVP, I think you can argue he’s a top ten player of all time.
You can argue now that he's a top 10 player of all time but with a 4th ring and a FMVP he should've won twice by now? He's a lock for top 10 players of all time, no one in that top 10 list comes close to him in terms of sheer impact on the game not named Michael Jordan
They still gonna keep him out of it. If u look at the top 10 all time not one point guard and a player who under 6”6 is on that list is top 10. Ik Magic is point guard but that man was 6”9 he literally a point forward but I’ll give him point guard but no one who 6”6 or shorter is on that list
@@doctorsam5771 I would say LeBron too
@@trickstergamer3383 that’s cuz people are allergic to calling a small 6’3 guard a top 10 player. They bring up defense yet ignore Stephs ability to position himself in the right places for steals. They also ignore the offensive impact Steph brings through his three point danger, which pulls defenders closer to him thereby leaving his teammates open.

They always talk about other teams being injured, but it never goes both ways with the warriors.

Same with the grizzlies this year. Ja being hurt is a fact....but how about Iguadala and GP2 for the warriors?

All Mad Dog does is belittle Steph Curry and the Warriors constantly
I really don't like the black hole conversation about injuries.
You can talk about all the different finals in the last 10 years where there have been important players injured on the non-winning side.
Last year the suns were the beneficiary of kawaii being injured. And then the bucks were the beneficiary of Devin Booker being injured.
Part of winning a championship in any sport is a combination of not only being a great team but also being fortunate to be optimally healthy at the right time.
That's just part of what goes into winning and championship.
So you can go around and around all day long talking about this injury and that injury.
As a matter of fact I think you could take any championship team from any sports League and make an argument as to why you could put an asterisk by their championship. Whether it's they played an easy conference, benefitted from injuries, a bad call, etc etc.
