For all those that said Curry was better than Westbrook, what you got to say now?

    You cannot compare the game of either Point Guard; realistically speaking.

    FACT1 : Curry is a FINESSE Assassin on the court! He can kill you from deep and with a lay-up.

    FACT2 : Westbrook is a slash and crash the boards guard BUILT like an NFL Running Back!

    People have short sports memories but TAKE A LOOK at Wade. Youtube early 2000s PRIMEWade! Before there was Westbrook, there was a PRIMEWade! Before there was Wade there was PRIME GARY PAYTON!

    Stop acting like Westbrook is some unique PG that the game has never seen.

    At 31 you cannot see it now, but Wade IN HIS PRIME was known as a bang the boards REBOUNDING GUARD! He extended plays on offense with his rebounds! PRIMEWade was a BEAST!

    You think Westbrook is a first of his kind = NO. Wade preceded him, Wade cast the mold that Westbrook is using now. Gary Payton probably set the mold that Dwyane looked up to!

    There is a reason Wade has 2 rings!

    Back to Curry and Westbrook = it is like comparing a G Reggie Miller to a G Kobe Bryant. It is pointless.

    Curry is a such a stylistically different player that earned his back-to-back MVPs with ASSASSIN shooting. You cannot compare Westbrook to THAT!

    FATHER TIME ALWAYS WINS:

    Make no mistake, Westbrook (27) will be broken down just like Wade (31) now in 3 or 5 years time! Westbrook cannot bang the boards like a PRIMEWade forever = that style beats you down; wears you down; breaks your knees!

    If anything Curry's finesse sharpshooting is going to carry him further than that NFL Running Back in an NBA Guard like Westbrook. Westbrook just got over a huge knee injury!

    It's just a bunch of bandwagonars. A couple years ago the same people were riding Rose, then it was another PG and now it's Curry. Curry is an amazing 3 point shooter and an amazing scorer but the best overall point guard in the game today is Westbrook. This series just goes to show that 3 pointers don't win you championships.

    Curry is the best shooter in the league. Period. This is really not arguable. However, the game is more than shooting. Curry is a hero for all of us who can not and will never be able to jump out of a gym. But if you want a guy who can change a game in multiple ways, Russell has been doing his thing for years. His ability to penetrate and control a game's pace is phenomenal, but his competitive spirit/rage is what I like most. I think he's also a pretty underrated passer, despite being 2nd in the league in assists this year (i think). It's hard to say who is "better" because they are unique players. But as a coach, if I had to pick one it would be Westbrook. There will be so many young kids out there learning from Steph and mimicking his game. There will be better shooters out there in the future. But there are not going to be many athletes like RW with the handles, vision, and tenacity that he brings to a game. And he's only getting better still.

    I think Curry is a little bit better honestly due to shooting and ball handling but not the best ever or hands down best in the NBA. To me Westbrook is mostly dunks like VC or Harold Minor. Durant might be better then Curry though. Hard to say.

    It's first team to 4 WINS dumbass... Series ain't over yet... 3-1 isn't insurmountable... Same exact thing happened last year with the Clips... Clippers won game 1 on the road, Rockets kicked they *** in Game 2, Clippers kicked Rockets *** in Games 3 and 4 at home... And the Warriors are LIGHT YEARS better than the Rockets team that made the 3-1 comeback against the Clips... Your gloating is PREMATURE...

    i never once thought that Curry was a top 3 player. Barely top 5. 20-30 less 3 balls made, he don't win MVP and Warriors lose 5-10 games they should of lost thanks to their illegal screens and no foul calls through out their season.

    lol at the NBA trying to sell $90 dollar ball that honors the Warriors regular season. They knew that Golden State wouldn't repeat.

    Could say Curry still better but still OKC won baby and I just want Warriors to lose. Just like underdogs and all this Warrior hype got so annoying.

    Curry is a one trick pony. His whiteass is being exposed for it big time right now. Golden State will lose this series, and they will fade into oblivion next season. Hope y'all cocksmokes enjoyed your one title.
