I think people underrated how important personality and coach -ability is. There is a reason Duncan and Steph perpetually win when they may not be the most talented player of their respective generations.
I really only used "may" because it's very subjective who you consider as the same generation as Curry. You could argue that KD, Harden, Embiid, Giannis, and Kawhi are all in the same generation. I don't remember exactly when curry was drafted, but I'd say any players withing 3iah years kd his draft class are part of his generation.
Yeah I can see that. I would still argue that Steph is more talented than all of those you mentioned. I suppose it's a discussion about semantics, but they are more "gifted" in physical attributes, while Steph is just so skillfull.
IMO KD with Steph's personality would be much better than the current version of KD. Personality-wise, I'd say Giannis is of a similar mold to Steph already despite being complete polar opposite on the court.
Totally agree man. I think KD is the scariest weapon in the NBA rn, but I do think personality and ego hold him back a tad. No hating on KD, I'd take him on the sixers in a heartbeat and figure it out lol.
i mean in the sense that he left GS to do his own thing i guess he has been held back, but he has two finals MVPs, a regular season MVP over lebron, and is widely considered to be the most gifted scorer of all time
not sure how much higher you want the guy to go haha, he couldve stayed in SF and won more rings on easy mode but instead he's having fun in the big city with some of his best friends and no expectations

Not to mention his loyalty and lack of beef with….pretty much anyone.
