I guess it’s all relative. I think the pre-Durant Warriors were great, deep teams. They had the MVP and then he was supported by two Team USA/all star guys, Iggy wasn’t in his prime but still a great role player and incredible defender, an explosive bench with a lot of scoring juice, Bogut and Barnes were good role players to fill out the starting group. I mean they won 73 games.

I’m obviously in the minority with my opinion based on the posts but I also feel like this thread has missed my point. I’ve never said Steph isn’t a great player or a superstar or anything like that.

My point is that he gets treated differently than almost any other superstar I can think of in the modern NBA. When he plays poorly in the finals it’s because he’s hurt. When they blow a 3-1 lead and he implodes in G6 and G7 he plays pretty poorly, they make excuses. When he has to step up because Klay and KD are hurt in ‘19 he gets outplayed by FVV at home to close out a ring and it isn’t really mentioned but other superstars would be crushed for all that. Now he has an average roster around him and they’re starting shaky and the excuses for him were starting up again.

Thats really all I’m saying. I’m not sure where all the other stuff came from in this thread and this isn’t directed at you but just broadly.
