Curry is the best player in basketball, Kyrie isn't top 10. Curry is the best player because his scoring ability is far superior than any other player in basketball.

Russell Westbrook proved that he is a better player than Curry last series.

It was settled once they took Curry off Westbrook. He can't be better than a guy if he is unable to guard him. They play the same position. He thoroughly outplayed Curry.

Curry mugging Love gets uncalled.

Gonna be a long night for the Cavs with the refs swallowing their whistles.

That is like arguing that Clyde Drexler was better than Jordan. Drexler was a great player, but just not better than Jordan.

Westbrook is great, but he is not as good as Curry.

The series was over before it even started. I can't believe some people even thought the Cavs had a chance. Warriors vs Thunder were the Finals.

It probably is forgotten now but Jordan sort of settled that in the 92 finals. It wasn't really questioned but there were a few rumblings and Jordan hit 6 3's in the first half to settle. Westbrook outplayed Curry head to head. That is sort of how I remembered this sort of thing being settled, on the court

Kyrie Irving is not as good as Curry. That's ridiculous. It's like saying Scottie Pippebmn was better than Jordan because he was a better rebounder and/or passer. It doesn't matter because Jordan was so much better at the most important part.

Cavs are better than Warriors. But Silver has made it clear to the refs who will win.

But he didn't. What are you using to back up that Westbrook outplayed Curry?

The last 2 games are a great example of why Curry is better. Westbrook could not finish. OKC had a chance to knock them off, but he couldn't do it. Curry stepped up in the last 2 games to show that the Warriors were the better team and he is the better player.

Don't you mean Klay Thompson?

Klay was great in game 6, and pretty good in game 7. But Curry had 31-10-9 and 36-5-8. He was great in both the last 2 games.

Once they switched Thompson onto Westbrook to start game five that settled whatever debate that may have existed. It was an admittance that Westbrook was the better player. It's hard to say that Curry is better if the coach admits that Curry can't check him. Curry also played bad offensively during the time he was guarding Westbrook.

If they were playing 1-on-1, that might be true.

That is weak. Just because Curry didn't check Westbrook defensively does not mean Westbrook is better.

I honestly find it weird that James helped Green up there.

I don't know how you think that sort of thing is settled but that has always been the way it has been settled. He dominated the matchup.

There is no stat available to show that Westbrook dominated their matchup.

It just did not happen.

I will admit that Westbrook is supremely talented (but not better than Curry). Irving isn't as good as either one.

If there is going to be a debate about the best this or best that shouldn't it be based upon out playing the guy that plays your position. If Curry's best title is based upon out playing Etwaun Moore and not Westbrook then he is not the best anything.

Jordan's best counterpart outside of Drexler was who? Dan Majerle?

That LeBron James post up isn't doing anything. They should have learned that last season

Westbrook cannot stop Curry, so by LTG's way of looking at it, then Curry must be better.
