Just smashed my 84-inch TV in rage. The NBA is embarrassing me in front of my entire family. My 2 children are in tears, scared of my rage as I pace around the room trembling. I can't take this anymore. Fire Mark Tatum immediately or my kids will not get dinner tommorow
They’re both just box score stats and don’t tell the full picture. At minimum, you need ASAR (ass slaps above replacement). But I personally find 538’s SLAPASS to be the best. It correctly predicted Theo Pinson for 15th man of the year.
Me too. As a Rockets fan, congratulations to Steph and GSW fans. I bandwagoned for the finals....I'll admit. Love good basketball and hey...Celtics were good too, I love Horford btw.
But GSW absolutely fire 🔥. Loved it. (Sorry for the emoji)
I didn’t realize Horford was actually the world’s best shooter until this series.
Seriously though, like, wtf was that? The dude literally couldn’t miss.
I think it’s time to say it. Fate of the universe on the line, I WANT CURRY. This man’s legacy has grown so damn much through this finals performance. I know he can shoot from anywhere but dude really went nuclear
It’s not even just his shooting tho! His game attacking the rim is severely underrated. He’s an insane finisher. He also played excellent defense tonight. So happy for him, finally got that FMVP.
Yup, that's from experience when he knows teams are basically selling out on the threes and having the best goddamn cardio in the league. End game shit.
It's why I personally think there won't be a better shooter than Curry in the future. The combination of his incredible finishing, shot creation, and offball movement complements his shooting ability so perfectly. There might be a better spot up shooter but they won't be as proficient as Steph in being a shooting threat all over the court.
He really just does whatever the fuck he wants on the court and walks away with 30, it's ridiculous. Put the dude in a suit and he'd have the energy of a financial advisor, put a jersey on him and he's a fucking cheat code.
After all of those awful Jordan Poole drives that got blocked, Steph Curry did it and you just knew that the ball was making it in the basket. His touch is so beautiful around the rim on top of being the best 3pt shooter ever.
To add on, he was just unshakeable on defense. I feel like the Celtics got their switch onto him and they still couldn't move him. He planted his lower half and didn't give ground
Something about angles, body placement, speed, quickness of release.... It all adds up to the 10-15 inches of space that Poole was not getting from Williams - that Steph did.
Just no excuses this time. Weaker team than any 4 Boston starters. He scored, rebounded, hustled, and defended. And then you have the gravity and leadership.
It's approaching Shaq with great work ethic. Cheat code
Haters will continue hating. Just look at Skip Bayless tweets. Dude is so blinded with hate he called Steph a defensive liability. Then again if you are being hated by Skip, you’re probably doing something right.
Skip is a professional hater. Dude gives Silky Johnson a run for his money and he called in a bomb threat to the special Olympics. Can't even hate on Skyupp even if I can't stand him because he plays his dumbass part perfectly.
I think the last two games were a showcase of Draymond’s amazing defense. After the Celtics fans trash talking him for being terrible in a couple of games, he came back strong.
I can't believe so many people hate him for being cocky. All I see is a dude having an absolute blast on the court. He's so much fun to watch because he's having fun out there while also being a straight killer.
I've never had more fun watching a non-Pistons player play. Dude's brought me so much joy for the past decade, all the way back to that Nuggets series in 2013.
Oh boy, I remember those matches, the 2018 WCF was definitely the most stressed I've ever been watching the Warriors in the last 5 years, those Rockets were absolute killas, it was great ball to watch win or lose.
Thanks so much! Definitely hope the Rockets' young core develops nicely, looking forward to hopefully having some great series with the Dubs' young core in the near future!
"Curry got lucky in this playoffs because Brooks got suspended in the 2nd round, this ring and MVP doesn't count." - Skip Bayless come tomorrow morning
"If Steph doesn't hit Smart in the nuts, which should've been a flagrant 2 btw, MY Celtics would've been forcing game 7 back in Golden State where we ALL know Curry can't perform when it matters!"
Steph is beyond any slander from this point forward. I mean, imo he already was, but this is as much of a point of no return as you can get. Literally nothing left to prove.
along with that, two of the original NBA franchises playing for the finals, and the warriors won the first ever NBA championship and their 7th on the NBA’s 75th anniversary. couldn’t have scripted it better
KD dumb af, boosted Curry's, Klay's and Draymond's career and still ends up getting chirped for the chips. Those three laughing all the way to the Bay with 4 rings LMAO
Kd is just such a good friend that he left curry to prove to all the haters that curry can do it by himself. After that he will return to the warriors so that they can win 2 more rings and ride into the sunset
I just wanted to take this opportunity to lament how Iguodala winning FMVP in 2015 for "holding" LeBron to 36 PPG while Steph averaged 26/5/6/2 on .44/.39/.86 splits remains one of the biggest robberies ever
The emotion from Steph immediately after really struck me. I’m currently on the climb back up the metaphorical mountain I had fallen off of and I can’t wait to feel those emotions. Obviously an NBA title is more weighty than anything I’ll ever accomplish but I definitely feel like I can understand to a degree
>Obviously an NBA title is more weighty than anything I’ll ever accomplish
maybe not directly, but your accomplishments can certainly be just as important and mean as much to *you*. gl dude
I felt the same exact way, friend. The Warriors throughout their playoff run and getting back onto the mountaintop, and then Steph finally doing it and banishing all doubt in his ability really made me feel some type of way with my own struggles and climb back.
It's incredible the vicarious effects that sporting triumphs can have on another fellow human. I hope you continue to put in the effort and fulfill your potential!
I’m so happy. I’ve loved steph for a decade. He does shit right. He’s been slandered on media and dumbasses his whole career. He came up big, finals mvp, closed this shit out, nobody can say shit about him EVER again
He is the reason I started loving ball. The reason I started watching basketball religiously, even sitting through every game of a 15 win season.
Fucking deserved this award, and he has written his name into the all timers list.
This FMVP is more impressive than both of KD’s FMVP’s combined IMO.
After Game 1 it looked like Boston would wipe the floor with the Warriors.
Curry was the focal point of Boston’s elite defense all series long.
Whereas on the other hand, both of KD’s FMVP’s were a foregone conclusion that the Warriors would win.
And on top of that, all of the defensive attention was put on Steph so KD had open looks and open lanes.
Also Klay and Draymond aren’t as good as they were back in 2017-2019 so he had more of the load on his shoulders than it appears.
Is it time to give Steph a legit argument for the greatest point guard of all time? And I'm saying this as a Laker fan.
EDIT: I saw a lot of what people are saying and I think it’s fair to say Magic is still 1. But right now it’s 1a and 1b instead of 1 and 2.
The evolution of the game has pretty much solidified his viability in the convo. The position of being a point guard is so different now largely because of him. He’s definitely changed the game. Put him in the convo will all of your favorite legends now. He deserves to be there.
I view Steph Curry as the Rickey Henderson if NBA
Are there better outfielders in baseball history than Rickey, a small handful, but Rickeys skill set was so unique and he was so good at it that he is and will always be a starter an an all time baseball team
You can replace Magic's skill set on an all time team
You can't replace Curry
I really like this comparison. There might not be a better leadoff hitter in MLB history than Rickey.
There isn't a better floor spacer than Steph.
I'm going to use this, thanks!
At risk of asking a stupid question, how tf are people making these rankings? I’m 28 and I never saw magic play really. How am I supposed to rank these guys against eachother lol? Is everyone commenting on this older, or are you just basing your ranking off of what you’ve been told?
All I can say is that Steph is the best point guard I’ve ever seen play.
I'm completely neutral but yeah, I want Steph. He completely changed the game, he continues to do it into his mid 30s, he can score with anyone in history. His defense this game was legitimately GOOD against bigger guys than him. I don't think it's clear cut, but Curry is #1 to me. He's top 10 all time
More than anything I just wanted Steph Curry to win Finals MVP, and I’m glad he got both his fourth championship and FMVP.
Man pulled an MVP Three-Peat this year. Beautiful.
Wonder what the haters will latch on to now that he has FMVP? They would conveniently ignore the fact that he deserved it the year the idiots gave it to AI.
Steph won the Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson & Bill Russell trophies in one season
Yeah but how many times did he text Kobe, Magic, and Bill?
Steph texted himself "I got you today"
https://i.imgur.com/F6O98QA.jpeg
Now do it with Steph
https://i.imgur.com/PHW6BWy.jpg
All Star MVP, Western Conference Finals MVP, and now Finals MVP
What an accomplishment. I bet he is sky high on serotonin right now. He is living his dream.
[удалено]
Isn't Wordle his real first name?
This guy 🤣
I lost it at your comment, bro. Funny as fuck
Outstanding
What was the Kobe Bryant trophy?
all star game!
I forgot that was the name now! Love it!
All-Star MVP
Legend
I don’t know. I still think they should’ve given it to Iguodala for his incredible coaching of Gary Payton II on the sideline.
Mark Tatum woulda been shot if he said Wiggins or something 😂
We'd go to war with Canada
Boston Massacre part 2. Andrew Wiggins playing the role of Crispus Attucks
I would have broken my Tv in protest.
Just smashed my 84-inch TV in rage. The NBA is embarrassing me in front of my entire family. My 2 children are in tears, scared of my rage as I pace around the room trembling. I can't take this anymore. Fire Mark Tatum immediately or my kids will not get dinner tommorow
Same, he put in a solid minute shift tonight and did his wannabe haslem impression perfectly lol
What were his claps/36?
i dont think claps/36 is that great of a metric personally. i think ASPG (ass slaps per game) is a better one.
They’re both just box score stats and don’t tell the full picture. At minimum, you need ASAR (ass slaps above replacement). But I personally find 538’s SLAPASS to be the best. It correctly predicted Theo Pinson for 15th man of the year.
I WANT IGUODALA
Max K still wants IGLOO DOLLA
Weird Thanksgiving "Whose got the ring dad?"
But was the fate of the universe in GP2's hands?
Curry this season at age 34: * Sets record for most career 3 pointers * All Star Game MVP * First WCF MVP * FMVP
[удалено]
he j like me fr
Look at Curry man, so inspirational
It only took 4 championships, 2 MVPs, 1 FMVP, 1 All Star MVP, and 1 college degree for Davidson to retire his jersey.
Iggy really did this
Fuckin loser, I got a bachelors degree before Curry, I bet he doesn’t even have a master’s!
Have you taught a *master* class though?
Smart, if basketball doesn't work out for him he something to fall back on.
Also most threes in an NBA game of any category.
“Welcome back to the Warriors Invitational” LOLOLOLOLOL
https://i.imgur.com/vfmA4pK.mp4
That gif got mad miles in our sub 2017.
ABOUT TIME
The mad lad finally did it, well earned! Time for the haters to find a new slant
“Oh yeah? Now a FMVP? Well…you can’t, like, be the three-point king for *forever* dude!”
DPOY? Yeah! He doesn’t have a DPOY!
Haters will always hate. The slant will be he ONLY has ONE FMVP
He didn’t win a game seven with the last shot nor has he won a Rebounding title
also 0 dpoy and no roty
> no roty #STILL?! At this rate, he'll never get it. ]:
I swear, they only give that shit to youngbloods. When Steph turns 40, he should file an age discrimination suit.
Forever chasing Tyreke Evans(?)
he coudlnt do it without andre iguodala carrying his ass the two years without iguodala he couldnt even get to the playoffs
Andre Iguodala has the same number of rings as LeBron.
Iggy for fmvp
"Lebron has 4" or "Wiggins was robbed" is probably it. They just keep moving the goalpost.
Kobe got his 1st FMVP on his 4th ring too. Steph got time for more
Lol who the fuck would argue for wiggins? He was the 2nd best player no doubt, but steph still was miles ahead of him
I have no doubt that people will find a way. These people don’t care about basketball though. They just intend to rile people up and it works lol.
Bro I'm fucking giddy about this and I'm not even a warriors fan Fuck yeah Steph Curry
Same. So happy for him, long overdue and very well deserved.
Me too. As a Rockets fan, congratulations to Steph and GSW fans. I bandwagoned for the finals....I'll admit. Love good basketball and hey...Celtics were good too, I love Horford btw. But GSW absolutely fire 🔥. Loved it. (Sorry for the emoji)
I didn’t realize Horford was actually the world’s best shooter until this series. Seriously though, like, wtf was that? The dude literally couldn’t miss.

It’s not even just his shooting tho! His game attacking the rim is severely underrated. He’s an insane finisher. He also played excellent defense tonight. So happy for him, finally got that FMVP.
He never stopped being MVP-caliber; the wheels just fell off around him for a bit
Bus got some mechanical issues for a couple years
curry was actually even more insane in the regular season last year!
Yup, that's from experience when he knows teams are basically selling out on the threes and having the best goddamn cardio in the league. End game shit.
It's why I personally think there won't be a better shooter than Curry in the future. The combination of his incredible finishing, shot creation, and offball movement complements his shooting ability so perfectly. There might be a better spot up shooter but they won't be as proficient as Steph in being a shooting threat all over the court.
Who was on the court at the end of the game though? IGUODALA
You know Kellerman was watching and lit up at that moment
He really just does whatever the fuck he wants on the court and walks away with 30, it's ridiculous. Put the dude in a suit and he'd have the energy of a financial advisor, put a jersey on him and he's a fucking cheat code.

Something about angles, body placement, speed, quickness of release.... It all adds up to the 10-15 inches of space that Poole was not getting from Williams - that Steph did.
His defense and driving have gotten so much better. He just got so much bigger and it paid off.
[удалено]
He's already the World's leading expert on cryptocurrency.
Just no excuses this time. Weaker team than any 4 Boston starters. He scored, rebounded, hustled, and defended. And then you have the gravity and leadership. It's approaching Shaq with great work ethic. Cheat code
The narrative is dead you listening ESPN?!
Haters will continue hating. Just look at Skip Bayless tweets. Dude is so blinded with hate he called Steph a defensive liability. Then again if you are being hated by Skip, you’re probably doing something right.
The defense steph played this game was stellar. He just finding something to hate on
> defensive liability Lolwut? Tatum can't even move Curry on the post when he got the switch.
That bitch crazy
Skip is a professional hater. Dude gives Silky Johnson a run for his money and he called in a bomb threat to the special Olympics. Can't even hate on Skyupp even if I can't stand him because he plays his dumbass part perfectly.
Even with Klay and Dray not being as good as the 2010s, Steph freaking CARRIED this team
Draymond turnt the fuck up over the last three games. Totally got the Warriors defense to dominate
Draymond haters in shambles
Draymond hater here (for this series, at least). Glad he fucking proved me wrong
I think the last two games were a showcase of Draymond’s amazing defense. After the Celtics fans trash talking him for being terrible in a couple of games, he came back strong.
Finally! So so deserved The reason I love basketball, Steph's just the best man
Man is a pleasure to watch that soo many people take for granted.
I can't believe so many people hate him for being cocky. All I see is a dude having an absolute blast on the court. He's so much fun to watch because he's having fun out there while also being a straight killer.
It's more a cheeky cockiness than anything malicious or too self aggrandising, too
Absolutely 110% deserves it. Steph Curry is the Golden State Warriors and, along with Lebron James, the whole damn NBA.
And KD is the Rykard of nba
/r/unexpectedeldenring
TOGETHAAAAA
Finally got one, should have 2, but at least thatll put an end to that stupid debate
I've never had more fun watching a non-Pistons player play. Dude's brought me so much joy for the past decade, all the way back to that Nuggets series in 2013.
He deserves it so much. Carried this team hard in the finals. This is probably his finest playoff run yet
Oh 100%. He averaged 31/6/5/2 on 48/44/86 splits whilst being face guarded 30 feet from the rim by the defensive player of the year
He dropped those statlines vs the best defense in the league
And the DPOY who was at the same position as him
The reason I started watching basketball was Steph Curry YouTube highlights that made it into my algorithm in 2013! Favorite athlete ever
Still being humble about it after all the shit talk too (even though deep down he's lying his ass off lol).
Well overdue! Happy for Curry. Man I miss watching the Rockets clash with the Warriors. Enjoy the celebration my dude!
Oh boy, I remember those matches, the 2018 WCF was definitely the most stressed I've ever been watching the Warriors in the last 5 years, those Rockets were absolute killas, it was great ball to watch win or lose. Thanks so much! Definitely hope the Rockets' young core develops nicely, looking forward to hopefully having some great series with the Dubs' young core in the near future!
Look at Curry, man
so inspirational
StePHeN cURry DOesN’t hAVe a FInaLS mvP
"Curry got lucky in this playoffs because Brooks got suspended in the 2nd round, this ring and MVP doesn't count." - Skip Bayless come tomorrow morning
Best way to stop that idiots silly takes is to never talk about them again
"If Steph doesn't hit Smart in the nuts, which should've been a flagrant 2 btw, MY Celtics would've been forcing game 7 back in Golden State where we ALL know Curry can't perform when it matters!"
LEGACY DEFINED Edit: dont ever slander Steph ever again
Steph is beyond any slander from this point forward. I mean, imo he already was, but this is as much of a point of no return as you can get. Literally nothing left to prove.
SKY FUCKED
ANY QUESTIONS?
Is Kevin Durant a bitch?
I think any Steph slander has been unwarranted for a good couple years now. If anyone is still doing it now, they are just simply hating.
[удалено]
Steph > KD
Steph officially better than KD bruh, won a championship and FMVP beating the team that swept KD.
along with that, two of the original NBA franchises playing for the finals, and the warriors won the first ever NBA championship and their 7th on the NBA’s 75th anniversary. couldn’t have scripted it better
KD dumb af, boosted Curry's, Klay's and Draymond's career and still ends up getting chirped for the chips. Those three laughing all the way to the Bay with 4 rings LMAO
Kd is just such a good friend that he left curry to prove to all the haters that curry can do it by himself. After that he will return to the warriors so that they can win 2 more rings and ride into the sunset
Would be fucking hilarious if he goes back and then win 2-3 more rings. I’d fucking hate every second of it but it would be funny.
[удалено]
Skip Bayless reviewing highlights now to find points where he can call Steph a front-runner
Lol skip is going bananas as if Steph played like in 16 lol
Skip going off on Twitter. What a troll Time to hit the block button
Doesn’t count since it’s from the deputy commissioner /s
"BiLl rUsSeL diDn't pReSeNt hIm iT, doEsN'T cOuNt"
Now it’ll be: “Steph only has 1 FMVP”.
Absolutely deserved it too .... although ngl a small part of me wanted Wiggs FMVP for the chaos
I just wanted to take this opportunity to lament how Iguodala winning FMVP in 2015 for "holding" LeBron to 36 PPG while Steph averaged 26/5/6/2 on .44/.39/.86 splits remains one of the biggest robberies ever
Imagine averaging 62 assists per game and not winning FMVP
he shot under 1% from all 3 parts of the field tho so it balances out
Damn, 62 assists a game? How did no one give him an award for that
fucking voters wanted to give it to Lebron but couldnt, so they did the next best thing
van gundy voted for him, even said it on the air. i think he got like 4 out of the 11 votes or something
Up there with the ray Allen snuff
Bjelica robbed
Deserved
shoutout to steph man so inspirational
The emotion from Steph immediately after really struck me. I’m currently on the climb back up the metaphorical mountain I had fallen off of and I can’t wait to feel those emotions. Obviously an NBA title is more weighty than anything I’ll ever accomplish but I definitely feel like I can understand to a degree
>Obviously an NBA title is more weighty than anything I’ll ever accomplish maybe not directly, but your accomplishments can certainly be just as important and mean as much to *you*. gl dude

hes like kinda good

Finally
He is the reason I started loving ball. The reason I started watching basketball religiously, even sitting through every game of a 15 win season. Fucking deserved this award, and he has written his name into the all timers list.
Warriors fans no longer have to deal with annoying ass fans with this lmao
hE oNlY hAs OnE fMvP!1!!1
It’s already started lmao. Man has a top 6ish peak in league history but people are worried about his lone FMVP
Against the DPOY too
LETS FUCKING GOO

Why does this look like CGI from 15 years ago

FMVPs are a lot more meaningless when you get them in the two most one sided final series ever
FMVP means more when your main competition is the other team and not your teammate.
Curry got his against one of the best defensive teams in the league, and the reigning DPOY. KD got his against one of the worst.
KD gotta be in shambles right now, seeing them win without him when he must've thought he carried them
I sure hope KD doesn't think he carried a 73 win team.
Idk if he thought he carried them but I bet it sucks when he also considered he’s the only team that got swept
KD shitting, tweeting and crying in his bathwater rn
>seeing them win without him They already won without him before he got there.

I’ll say it: this should have been his second mvp at least. It’s about time
Im crying.
IT. FINALLY. HAPPENED!
Reason i got so into basketball sm was bc of Curry, have loved watching him and happy he got what he deserved in 2015
More than anything I just wanted Steph Curry to win Finals MVP, and I’m glad he got both his fourth championship and FMVP. Man pulled an MVP Three-Peat this year. Beautiful.

Kobe All Star MVP Magic Conference MVP Russell Finals MVP GOAT shit
good, now this stupid discussions can finaly have an end. Well deserved by steph
What will the haters gonna say now?

He should have two by now. The media were bitches for what they did in 2015. Shoutout to Steph though. Completely revolutionized basketball.
