"Was there ever a point when everyone agreed Stephen Curry was the best player in the league?"
2016 has to qualify. 131 out of 131 voters chose him for MVP. He also had the best advanced stats that year, and the gap between him and #2 was the biggest in the last 25 years. LeBron was coming off a playoff run where shot just 47% TS, and had just an okay regular season for LeBron standards.
Sure, maybe in the closing moments of Game 7, as Kevin Love locked him up on the perimeter and he bricked the 3 off the backboard, he lost the crown in the eyes of the mob. But the voters and the spreadsheets had already spoken.
BREAKING: The Miami Heat are finalizing a deal to send Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors for Andrew Wiggins, Dennis Schroder, Kyle Anderson and a protected first-round pick, sources tell ESPN.
@na7ural_@DameGotMe@leitmaweit@KashEra0 NBA doesnβt have career stats for these (good for you cus it would make it worse for dame) but u can check the stats from their best shooting year and still see that klay clears in the majority of 3 point shooting categories. 2019-20 dame shot 27.3 % from 3 on very late/clutch 3s
@DameGotMe@na7ural_@leitmaweit@KashEra0 Both players have highest frequency of 3βs open (defender 4-6 feet away) at 20+% and dame shoots 35% and klay shoots 41%. Klay has always been the better shooter. Nobody cares if dame takes stupid shots and makes them at a low clip π
