Bill Simmons rated Curry as the 3rd most valuable player in the NBA behind LeBron and DuFlockaRant.
I COMPLETELY AGREE
Tony Parker keeps getting ignored. SMH
As a top 3 candidate? 5? 10? Not sure if serious or trolling
It's less ridiculous than Curry @ #3.
I can understand why he's ignored because there's just that meh aura all around the entire Spurs team. Of course, he's getting old now but he played like Flash and was literally impossible to stop from getting to the rim (sort of still is). I can understand that, but to put Curry, who's been nearly shut down by some solid defensive players makes me scratch my head.
Curry has yet to see what elite players see and that is THE top defenders game in and game out. Who did he have on him in the first series, Andre Miller? I know he has his ankle issue but he was already being locked down before the injury (Game 1 exception). If they beat SA, then it will be the Memphis backcourt. If they go to the Finals, then it will be Wade/James during critical moments. Parker has proven it through all of this.
Edit, don't want to derail this thread. Can take this to the NBA thread.
