Durant has made it to the playoffs more than Curry Durant has WON more playoff games than Curry Durant has eliminated more 50+ win teams than Curry has Durant won an MVP before Curry did Durant is younger Durant is better on defense
A team accomplishment Which most people felt was fluky
Wyatt Gutierrez
2 MVP's 2 Rings
the fact that KD had an mvp before is irrelevant
Dominic Hill
5 All-Star Appearances vs. 3 appearances
LOL using the ring logic, Horry > Jordan, right?
Liam Bennett
Durant is also not made of paper mache like Curry is
Let me know when Durant loses a whole season to an ankle injury.
Zachary Ramirez
kd the next chuck
Jaxson Lee
Steph Curry career points: 11,089 Kevin Durant career points: 17,566
Steph is SO MUCH BETTER.
Steph isn't even the best player from his draft class. Harden or Blake Griffin are
Bentley Edwards
This doesn't seem like an argument a lot of people would have.
Wyatt Johnson
Curry's never been cursed by lil B
Levi Richardson
You don't think most people wouldn't rather have Durant than Curry?
Aside from Warrior bandwagoners, who would want Curry over Durant?
Levi Davis
I'm agreeing with you.
Austin Bennett
Curry was a late bloomer, so Durant's career is better on average.
But Curry's past two seasons have been better than any season of Durant's career.
Jayden Nguyen
People remember careers not individual seasons
It would take Curry winning 5 rings and 5 MVPs with at least 3 FMVPs before even thinking about putting Curry ahead of Durant
Josiah Taylor
It's a what have you done for me lately business. Curry has been the best player in the league the past two seasons so he gets more praise, that simple.
Tyler Flores
w..what? name one team in the league that would rather take durant over curry right now
Michael Hill
Wiz And OKC
There's 2
Joseph Allen
Disagree.
Isiah Thomas is way more remembered for those two really good years that brought home rings for Detroit than Dominique Wilkins' consistently better career.
Dominic Rodriguez
>best player
Did LeBron die?
Lol curry isn't even better than Westbrook
Carter Wright
This senpai
Julian Butler
Curry in 2012: getting raped by ankle injuries Durant in 2012: in the NBA finals
Curry is a team baby. Take away Klay and Draymond and he's shit
Durant doesn't need a superstar teammate to be good. Durant never had as much talent as the 2016 Warriors to play with
Replace Durant and Curry on their teams and the Warriors would still have won 73 games while the Thunder would've been an 8 seed
Zachary Clark
>fluky >in the finals again this year
Say whaaaaa
Sebastian Morgan
you can't make a choice like this in a vacuum. it depends on the roster around him.
if I'm a team with good guards already like the Wizards, Blazers, Raptors, Durant obviously.
if I'm a team where the best players are forwards like the Spurs, Knicks, or Pacers, then Curry is the answer.
Kevin Collins
>mental gymnastics at it again
What are you talking about? Durant is the superior talent. You get the superior player 10/10 times
Hunter Sanders
No I you don't r tard. If I'm the Spurs and I have kawai and Aldridge already I don't want fucking Durant. Curry, filling in for Parker once he dies, would be amazing with the Spurs.
Ayden Miller
And this year was a fluke too
Draymond should've been suspended
Brayden Allen
I simulated this on 2k
Warriors won 68 Thunder won 46
Cameron Reyes
>back to back finals >undisputed MVP >fluke Yeah they just fluked their way to 70+ wins
Hunter Nguyen
>Harden
Jason Smith
>average thunder fan intelligence
William Sullivan
How he king if no ring?
Leo Gonzalez
you are retarded lmao, like holy shit
Jace Roberts
A 5'3 rapper makes fun of Kevin Durant.
Nuff said
Nicholas Gomez
favourite gif of all time
Cameron Russell
Harden was the real MVP last year.
Nicholas Evans
>Did LeBron die?
Lebron hasn't been the best player since 2013.
Sebastian Sanchez
That nigger is only ever the most valuable flopper.
Michael Ramirez
>fluky >again playing finals > also 73-9 >2 MVPs
>fluky
Andrew Green
>didn't play an entire series against a healthy point guard >had his shit pushed in by Irving and a flailing kiwi for three games
>again playing finals > also 73-9 >2 MVPs Simple, they heard the doubters, took it in stride and got much better.
Kayden Hernandez
a one on one match would go to curry and Kevin knows it.
Daniel Rivera
yeah no.
Kevin is much taller and a much more pure scorer, and more athletic
Angel Sanders
2 MVPs > 1 MVP 2 championships > 0 championships
Carter Reed
the point of playing a team sport is to win a team championship.
curry has a championship, therefore his CAREER has been better.
who has been the better PLAYER is a different question.
there are other variables, like is it better to be a bit player with 8 rings who saw 5 minutes a finals game vs being a key player with 4 rings who saw 32 minutes a finals game, but that's irrelevant for curry vs. durant
Liam Reyes
You are a moron
Jeremiah Allen
Call me back when Durant isn't choking against the basketball god
Nathan Reed
By the durant > curry logic im seeing Marino > Montana
Which is retard logic
Jesus was this thread started by a okc fan?
Liam Morales
I guess Karl Malone is better than Jordan
Derp derp
Jacob Walker
>Let me know when Durant loses a whole season to an ankle injury.
Literally last year
Ryder Mitchell
So He has to win 5 more rings 4!more mvps and 3 more fmvps for you to consider him better than Durant? >Westbrook aka walking trip dub doesn't exist
Gabriel Evans
Then they'll remember Curry winning more rings and more MVPs than Durant. Durant will go down as just another shmuck who shone for one season for his MVP and never did anything of note ever again. Curry is already the greatest shooter the sport has ever seen. And he's only going to keep getting better.
Daniel Bell
No. Using the logic that when comparing truly great players, where one dominates a certain group statistical categories, and the other dominates a different group, the player whose domination has resulted in more championships is in fact the better player. Horry did not dominate enough statistical categories to be considered a star, while Jordan did. Jordan was the no. 1 on his championship team while Horry, although a great himself, was not the impetus behind any championships.
Jace Johnson
>Durant never had as much talent on his team
He literally had Westbrook and Harden on his team one year
Joshua Williams
durant had more potential but unfortunately hes too big of a pussy
Ayden Morales
I dont follow the sport.
Never heard of Durant Have heard all about Curry
If Durant is so good he wouldnt be a literally who
Xavier Lewis
>it's a fluke he won mvp >it's a fluke they won the championship >it's a fluke they won 73 games >it's a fluke he won mvp, again, unanimously >it's a fluke they came back from 3-1 to beat OKC >it's a fluke they're in the championship again >it's a fluke they won game 1
Top fucking lel. Curry haters B T F O
Zachary Anderson
Two years ago Durant had the same media presence as curry does now. Sports media is fickle as fuck.
Angel Morales
>tfw when the undeserved MVP last year acted as a big boost in confidence and he has ahad a great season this year. Still I'd take Durant any day, and he's even younger lol
Jayden Allen
why are people so desperate to hate on curry lmao
Dylan Rodriguez
Flawless logic.
Kevin Gray
Most people who aren't Warrior bandwagoners would as well
Leo Miller
Get fucked curry haters
Evan Foster
I will as soon as you stop saving thumbnails.
Kayden Davis
Durant has more money than Curry LeBron has more money than Curry
It doesn't matter lol. Curry can have his """fame""", everyone else can have skill and money.
Henry Young
Durant will turn into melo a great scorer who will never get a ring Curry already has a ring and with the way the warriors are playing is on par for at least one more championship in his career
Aiden Cruz
>2 rings >impressive
LOL! Udonis Haslem has 3 rings. Does that mean he's better than Curry?
Adrian Gonzalez
Yeah even with Harden or Westbrook, Durant never had as much talent to work with as Curry does now
Take away Klay, take away Green, take away Bogut, take away Livingston, and lets see how well Curry does on his own.
Curry spent the first half of his career MISSING THE FUCKING PLAYOFFS.
Lucas Reed
Those were wade and shaq then wade lebron and boshs rings Stop being a troll if you want to try and convince me Durant choked hard in games 6-7 and can seemingly never get over the hump to become a champion
Henry Diaz
Curry torched Lebeta
Durant choked under Lebeta
Jayden Richardson
Lets use the same logic on Curry, shall we?
Klay was the reason why the Warriors won game 6 Livingston and Iggy are the reason the Warriors won game 1 of the finals Iggy was the reason they won the finals
Curry choked hard in the playoffs and can seemingly never get over the hump by himself to become a champion
John Hernandez
>t's a fluke they came back from 3-1 to beat OKC na just silverball
Jeremiah Bailey
>18 points in overtime by curry in his first game back from injury Yea he's neve helped his team in the playoffs
Luke Martinez
Did anyone notice in game 7 that they called a phantom foul on Ibaka when Curry supposedly went for 3?
Against Portland, a non-playoff team
The Thunder raped the Spurs at the same time and never needed the help from the refs to do so.
Julian Baker
LeBron never needed help from the refs Kobe never needed help from the refs MJ never needed help from the refs Durant never needed help from the refs
Curry needs extreme silverball to do anything.
Juan Bell
But wait there's more Iggy won the series right? That's why curry averaged the most points for his team in the finals last year? He chokes in the playoffs??
Noah Morris
He got NOT ONE finals MVP vote
Hell this year, Curry is on his way of losing ANOTHER Finals MVP
If you don't win Finals MVP, everything else doesn't matter
Dylan Sullivan
who /klayfinalsmvp/ here?
Christopher Wright
2 MVP > 1 MVP
James Sanders
>kobe never needed help from the refs
2002 WCF was way more refball than anything curry has ever got
Liam Gomez
Westbrook > Klay Adams > Bogut Ibaka > Green Kantor > Speights and Ezeli
26, 5 and 6 is garbage now. fucking hot takes everywhere.
Jonathan Campbell
>Convince me that Curry has had a better career than Durant
Curry has a ring and Durant doesnt. Curry has 2 MVP's and Durant doesnt
Wow that was hard
Carson Ortiz
Thats why OKC won 73 games
Honestly, everything the Warriors does, its refball. I am actually 100% convinced of that. Nothing they do is legitimate, and a lot of NBA fans agree with me
If I were a referee, the Warriors would've missed the playoffs. They would have gone 0-fer if I were the head referee of their games. I would call EVERY SINGLE THING against them so they can get a taste of how it feels
Connor Wilson
>Honestly, everything the Warriors does, its refball.
do people actually believe this? is Sup Forums really this retarded?
John Gray
If you take away the 3 point line, Durant looks a whole lot better than Curry does
Anthony Lewis
Incorrect curry is a wizard in the paint and doesn't need to be 7 feet to do it
Sebastian Green
I honestly believe that I have more basketball skill than Steph Curry, and I'm a medical student, not a professional
I honestly believe the refs got paid off to favor the Warriors in crunch time. I even believe that the NBA told Westbrook and Durant to throw the series because there is no way that the Thunder could go from looking so dominant in games 3-4 and lose the way they did in 7 without an incentive on their part.
Nothing the Warriors does is legitimate.
Dylan Brown
You need to let the asspain go, seriously. OKC didn't win 73 because Westbrook is selfish as fuck and the team is unclutch as fuck including losing over a dozen games where they were leading after 3 quarters.
Regular season doesn't matter. the Spurs and Thunder could've both beaten 72 wins this year but what for?
Kevin Morales
>What does that have to do with basketball ability? Your words, not mine Mr. "I honestly believe that I have more basketball skill than Steph Curry"
Therefore, you should be able to do that in your sleep, right?
Parker Green
>what does that have to do with basketball ability
stop fucking posting. your b8 is fucking terrible
Lucas Jenkins
The people at Dude Perfect make impossible shots
They're better than MJ!
That's not in game action you idiot. That's just a hobby.
Curry can't handle physical defense. I would literally injure him on the court without protection of the refs
In fact I hope he gets injured before he gets a new contract. Let's see someone max him out when he can't walk to the car
Jaxon Hernandez
Such garbage bait when the players are both great, and this could have been a decent conversation about which you would pick first.
Aiden Morgan
>The people at Dude Perfect make impossible shots >They're better than MJ! >That's not in game action you idiot. That's just a hobby. What are you even trying to say at this point? No one thinks that people who do trick shots are automatically gifted athletics. Meanwhile, Steph's warmup helps with dribble penetration.
>Curry can't handle physical defense. I would literally injure him on the court without protection of the refs That I don't doubt, seeing how I'd guess plenty of NBA players would love to do that.
Ryan Phillips
I know this is bait but... >rings
Blake Morgan
Well it's pretty unanimous that most people would be Durant
Isaac Gray
thats a true statement tbqh
Justin Taylor
>The people at Dude Perfect make impossible shots
>They're better than MJ!
Jesus christ you can stop posting at any time
those guys take hundreds of attempts you stupid faggot
Ian Flores
>it would take 5 rings to be better >to be better than 0 son
