As a Raptors fan.... ugh, the disrespect against Steph is REAL!!!!!! So annoyed. Steph is dangerous man. Sometimes the ball just don't go in. I was terrified of Steph this whole series.
now i wish steph would make one finals shot in the last second... to shut everybody up. maybe next year. or after ;)
the raptors team was terrified of him. what other player gets double teamed at 30 feet from the basket? who else forces a defense to go box and one and tringle and 2. nick nurse threw everything he could at steph and he still exploded for 40 once.
@@riverthoughts2400 he is 0-8 in the post-season with that kind of shot. Curry is a great shooter but he ain't clutch. KD is clutch which they don't have
ubadman1 you mean like any other great player in the history of basketball if you don’t double curry he’ll just come off one screen and shoot an open three this is basic watch game 1 against Portland
@@joker321boom there is no player to compare curry to ever. and you only call it basic because you dont appreciate greatness. no one else has ever done what he does to defenses.
We not going to talk about bougie and Andre missing them keys FREEthrows late down the stretch??
Without Iguodala the Warriors weren't in a position to win that game. As for Boogie, we all know the story there. They're done with him.
@@shwin. I can see em resigning him tbh
Warriors missed many free throws, that could've changed the outcome for sure.
@@lamboy1227 Raps missed a couple too
The whole team was missing freethrows and also the whole team was missing kd, klay was going in they played well but you have boogie who hasn't really played much and asking him to do a lot. Iggy is not a spring chicken looney hurt I mean they act like the Raptors fucked them up
Max says Steph isn't clutch because he couldn't beat the Raptors but he says the Raptors were better than the Warriors...but then says Steph doesn't deserve credit for beating the Blazers and averaging 36...because the Warriors were better than Portland. Come on bruh
Max dont know basketball bro
@@sdfishinn pressure was on in games 5 and 6 against Houston...it was om against the Trailblazers....all games with no kd
It was on with no klay or kd in game 3

@@prestonhoward66 wow I just dropped a full-on comment about that and then came upon this prior comment. I love when people who truly know basketball can easily spot imitation flavor. I'm not mad at him because I know he's getting paid. I wish you'd go back to boxing because he was one of my favorite boxing announcers.
@@sdfishinn so averaging 30 in finals is sucking right?? Smh yall dont know basketball
SD Fishin If Steph couldn’t play well under pressure in the finals, they would’ve gotten swept this year. Literally the 2 games they won were nail biters and required execution under pressure. That narrative needs to stop.
Max talkin bout fate of the universe on the line like someone has the infinity gauntlet with all 6 stones…lol
LOL... Was thinking the same thing
😂😂😂😂😂
A game of basketball for the the soul stone
Lord Beerus 😂

Does Max expect Curry to make every single 3 point shot ?
Kamil Malina no.
dude is shooting 38% in three point range in the finals and it becomes 17% in the 4th quarter. of course you'll question it, he chokes all the time bro.
@@johnx.03 38% from 3 is really good
No just one. Hes 0-9 in Game wimning 3's and shots in the playoffs
@@gdc615 lol. He's actually 4-12 with under 30 secs. They chose under 20 to make him look worst😳😳😳
Max is just on a mission to diminish Steph's greatness.
That's all!

Don't let him do it!
More like on a mission to expose steph for what he rlly is
@@H17-o6n tell what he really is? 2 time MVP, 3 times champ, best shooter in history. Cmon tell us what Steph really is? or are you just salty because he shits on your favourite team every year.

Stephen A: The universe. I love it. It's my brother. A hall of famer with a 7 foot wing span but I'll tell you why you're wrong?
Do yall realize once klays gone all defensive attention is on curry. Of course they were gonna lose, plus klay was primary defender on kawaii
kawhi made o shots in 4th quarter
When Lebron averages 30 in the finals and loses - "Lebron needed more help"
When Curry averages 30 in the finals and loses - "Well he just doesn't have what it takes in the Finals"
This is why ESPN is a joke
Lebron is expected to win no matter who takes the floor with him.
same with game 3 people thought Steph would win
When Lebron misses a shot in final minutes: he was burnt out and doubled
When Curry misses a shot: he misses all the clutch shots
@@tonychan1806 Curry is literally zero out of nine y'all sound dumb as fuck just stop.
@@Alex0992 he's probably closed 100 games hitting clutch free throws shooting over 95%
Wrong... They lost to a Healthier team ... Lenard basically had two years off
Curry had 0 points in that final 5mins
Ramon Anzures probably cuz he was doubled teamed the entire game
@@tanneringle4762 he missed the final shot what excuses do u need to make?
Joseph Stalin y’all always give Lebron slack for losing the 2015 finals cause his team was injured. What about Curry’s team? No KD, no Klay and no iguodala where is his slack?
@BIGmonkeys 23 He wasn't the best player? GS is Steph Curry! He is double teamed most of the time, sometimes triple-teamed. Durant is a more complete player than Curry, but look at the games without Curry and at the Games without KD. Curry is the heart of this team and he always was. The rotation, the space all due one man! Get your facts straight.
Im not a Golden State fan but steph gets disrespected a lot especially on the defensive end. And he’s the engine on offense for the warriors he’s under appreciated imo
Hes an easy target on defense duh that's why everybody go at him
the nba's only unanimous mvp who is apparently beyond reproach and was argued in the last series to be better than magic johnson cannot be under appreciated.
straightchill100 advanced metrics show curry as a sold on ball defender and great team defender so say what you want
so? he still sucks on defense , facts are facts
E he doesn’t
lost to a “healthy” team
Max you just hating on Steph....u showing it too much
Jalen Rose you right,Max chose the Raptors because KD got hurt
Walter Tembo Steph is a choker, that’s the truth
No he is not.
Brian Ortiz he choked on the final shot but. He didn’t choke throughout the series averaging 30+ lol
@Jiggy Thanos how do you think Klay gets open shots? Do you think he's a creator? Basketball is more than fake news stats. Wake up
@Jiggy Thanos I never said that. Be logical. Maga
They lost to a COMPLETELY HEALTHY TEAM
The Warriors have benefited from injury thus entire run. Now that they lose only two of there three all stars GSW bandwagon bitches wanna cry injury. Give me a break...
Congratulations to the Raptors on their first ever WORLD Championship!
If there’s a G7 in Toronto, the Dubs wouldn’t have KD (raptured Achilles), Klay (torn ACL), and Draymond (automatic suspension) due to the technical foul he got in the last second of the game.
This was the best way to end their season.
i wonder if that tech would count towards Draymond or the team as a whole. If the Warriors won then it would be a shame if Draymond would be suspended over something like that.
Then again, he wouldnt have needed to call a timeout if they were gonna win
That was a team tech.
Great analogy
World? They go against nothing but teams in the U.S😂
True! & if they made it to game 7 its possible that Steph & Iggy reinjured because of overwork.
Max hate for Curry is so strong he cant even be objective.
Poor snowflake
Yeah, never could stand Max.
Jaylin Rose took over the show.
I’ve never seen S . A so quiet😂😂😂
Hold my beer
th-cam.com/video/H9w_XUQyJJQ/w-d-xo.html
Warriors could have won this series without Durant if all of their remaining players stayed healthy. Bottom line.
Matthew Moscotto klays injury was more heartbreaking than KD’s
@@aaronthompson6971 Facts
LMAO!! If the Warriors were better conditioned and trained HARDER they maybe could have remained healthy and won this series BOTTOM LINE! Fact players of old stayed in the gym and kept their bodies in top condition. You hardly ever heard about an ACL or Achilles injury especially from the TOP players. Furthermore in game 6 Green and Igudala went a combined 1 for 9 at the FREE THROW line. Bottom line they make their FREE THROWS you could have forced a game 7. So your team didn't take care of their bodies and they couldn't hit their free throws when it counted most. Your excuses bore us like your overrated team who don't want to really compete and have 5 out of the 10 best players in the league. "And that's the bottom line because FACTS say so.
KD getting injured made Klay and Curry more likely to get injured by having to play 100% at all times that's what they risked trading a great bench for KD.
I hope when he says "better" he means the injured Warriors cuz if the warriors were at full strength they would of swept em
tintman831 how do you sweep the raptors if they couldn’t sweep clippers and Huston? Never talk about basketball ever again
Idk why they trynna make Max sound like he calling Curry trash. He’s just saying that Curry is bad under pressure. That’s all
Wan Hundo you aren’t under pressure just on the final shot of the game, curry has hit many important shots over the years.
Ali Mohamed I didn’t say the last shot was the only kind of pressure. But game on the line Curry has came up short in the crucial minutes. He’s still great just hasn’t proved himself in the finals. Which isn’t totally his fault
Ali Mohamed curry his 0-8 in the last 25 seconds for go ahead field goals. He ain’t clutch it’s that simple
Ryan Lane he just tied game in game 5 that’s clutch
Name a guy that’s last second clutch in the NBA
Lol A.I won one finals game. Curry has 3 championships. One where he should have been finals MVP. Lmao
You must be young and never said A I play. A I was doing it with a butch of role players and no names while Steph has a super-team. I can name 3 maybe 4 players just in the series alone that i would take over Steph.
gdc615 Steph is still better than AI. I’m pretty sure AI would pick Steph over himself. The unanimous mvp speaks for itself too
@AfroNinjaoh yes they were battered lol. thats why they lost to a prime shaq kobe and the lakers. please stop.
Let's be real, if klay didn't get injured, he would have dropped like 45 and they would have won💯
Myzel Miller yeah but he did get hurt
#fragile
Randy Savage he landed wrong that’s not being fragile most players would have torn there acl on that player clown
And Siq full strength is with KD
And Siq yeah they still are but full strength right now is with KD and it’s kinda hard too take away KD since they haven’t really played with out him since 2016
@And Siq maybe,but that injury took the soul out of the warriors imo
Stephen A surely knows how it is to play agains A.I. better than Jalen. Wtf, dude never played in the NBA.
Max is cool and all but I would much rather see jalin rose or will Cain with Stephen everyday
Can't srand Max.
Max basketball is not played with a calculator, its played with a basketball!
Well i watch basketball and curry doesnt play defense
Monty Green analytics is like checking your work
All this series tell us is that with all the warriors deficiencies is that they are the better team. The raptors won by 4 points against a team with no Klay, no kd, no Looney, and poor clutch time execution. Congrats to them a win is a win. Just like gsw in 2015 and Cleveland in 2016.
Imagine losing to a guy that wears New Balances lmao
What's wrong with New Balances? Imagine losing to a guy that wears Under Armour dad looking shoes ..
I am rocking with New Balance right now on vacations.
The Warriors lost injuries. The Raptors won by default.
bullshit
a win is win no excuses
Molly behaves herself when Jalen is on the show lol.
Bruh Jalen is the man now he had her tame af maybe it's a marriage thing lol
6:10 "We're running out of time guys let's..."
And then she goes quiet while they not paying her any mind lol
yea its called moderating dumbass thats the one time she did sum good
Steph wasnt the only one getting picked on on defense, Boogie was the real liability in the PnR
Both were defensive liabilities
Marat steph couldn’t guard anyone period!
Zues GodOfThunder He blocked two shots in the fourth ......
Steph didn't cost the Warriors the championship series because it's a team game!
🤔
Right cousins and Iggy missed a good amount of free throws.
@@abimaddy12
You mean Lebron James who is still the best player in the NBA?
🤔
The Raptors are bigger/stronger/more depth, but the Warriors are more talented/better/smarter. Injuries really hurt the Dubs.
What makes them smarter exactly?
# 1 How they play
CURRY GOT SMOKED
Lootchii GUNKOMBOGOD yeah cause they doubled him since Klay wasn’t there
I love Jalen Rose arguments , he is so consistent and makes valuable points. Top analyst.
5:13 dude in the back tryin to cover his laugh. lmao
Max was right..
Ratpors in 6..
He said it n stuck to it...
He was afraid when kd back..cuz they were going to beat toronto 3 straight with healthy klay and kf issa wrap, but then the injuries happen..so yes raps won
3x NBA Champ, 2x MVP, 6x All star, 3x all NBA first team, 2x all NBA second team, 50-40-90 club, most 3pters in a single season, 8th highest PER in a season ever, most points in an OT period, most points ever in a playoff series sweep, 3 rings, best player in the NBA, and 2nd best PG of all time. And people still sleep on this dude. RESPECT IS A MUST.
I'm surprised with nine seconds left, they didn't use D. Green to post up and create more options being down by only one.
bro, as crazy as it seems max is only one that can see the truth
I am with Jalen here! He played the game he knows how it is. The Warriors won the West because after KD got injured he lead the team. He inspired everyone to bring their A game vs Houston and Portland. He had better stats this season. He is Steph Curry and changed the game. Greatest shooter of all time. I can tell Stephen A is torn here. It’s rare that you see him quiet!
No, Warriors lost to a HEALTHIER team. Keep it real.. KD plays, this convo never happened.
Raptors aint a better team if KD and Klay didn’t even play the entire NBA Finals especially KD and before he went down again he had 11 points 5/5 so imagine if KD alone was in the whole final lmaooo it would of been 4-0 GS Champions once again. Simple
Sometimes I wonder if all these analysts even watch the game. Curry wasn't taken off Lowry because Lowry scored against him. He didn't even have that assignment in the first place.
The Warriors defense has been very spotty the entire year. They built bad habits, knowing they could outscore everyone. Missing Durant wasn't a big issue initially because the Rockets choked and Portland missed open shots and wasn't great at defending them. Toronto made these shots and until Game 6 took out GS offense. In that game they finally looked more like themselves, and Curry mostly missed makeable shots.
This pisses me off! The raptors just won their first ever championship and all they can talk about is the warriors still! The warriors dynasty is over and I’m so happy it was the raptors that ended it! Proud Canadian here!
0:07 Ai has gone to the finals once and won 1 game. Steph is a 3 time champion. Conclusion: Stephen A, stay off the weeeeeeedd!!!
I'll take AI over steph, but not for this reason. The rings argument is a lazy narrative. That philly team wasnt good enough to beat shaq and Kobe in their prime
@@adrmon11 true but ai didnt have much playoff success but even individually steph has a bigger impact on the game than ai you cant dispute that.
Horrible arguement
Greatest Laker Ever
ai went against Kobe and shaq with no help and won a game
Steph went against kawhi and PLAYOFF Lowry with no help and didn’t win the game
Put steph in A.I's position and the 76ers wont even make the finals
@:20 thank you Jalen for putting some respek on Isaiah's name. Dude won two rings as a 6'0 guard, and his numbers statistically validate him as special. In the last 3 minutes of a Finals or playoff game down by 5 you could give Isaiah the ball and he would wave off his teammates and by himself get you 8 to 10 points in the playoffs or finals. I love Steph, but in the last 3 minutes of Finals in this series I often wished he demanded the ball and accepted the pressure to iso his player and attempt to win the game on his own. This was a time where it was needed for him to pull a Kobe or Isaiah.
Lol Jalen how many rings do you have?
No,the Raptors beat an injured ( very injured) team. They lose if everyone on the Warriors are healthy
warriors 1st championship kyrie and love injured. they come back next year and warrior blew 3-1 to lebron with help. 2nd championship spurs up by 20 and kawhi got injured. 3rd championship rockets up 3-2 with home court and cp3 got injured. warriors have never won a championship without them getting lucky with injuries and klay played until half time and they still had steph/cousins/drymond(3 allstars)
For reals. They don't even talk about that lol
The Warriors lost to a *healthier* team
AFKFTW that's karma man.
I really can't believe the people making excuses for a team with 3 superstars (KD, Curry, Thompson) and 3 stars on their team (Boogie, Green, Iggy). So what if 2 of the superstars were injured and unavailable, that's still a packed team. Toronto has 1 superstar (Leonard) and 1 star (Lowry) + good supporting case (Pascal, Ibaka, Gasol, Vannie).
Reminds me of back in the day when the Lakers lost but the Lakers were hurt they had Magic Johnson and Company
I'd rather hear Max Kellerman talk about something he knows about like boxing. Give Molly a year and she'll know more than him. Jalen Rose was a backup point guard to Mark Jackson in Indiana for Reggie Miller, Anthony Davis, Dale Davis, Rik Smits a very good one. He dribbled with both hands unlike Mark Jackson and that's taking nothing away from Jackson cuz he was great, especially with that little teardrop Runner. Solid half court offense, three-pointers etcetera
Max wouldn't even hit a barn door wide open with no pressure on him either
Well said!
Mosquito cameo at :20 you making it in the world Phil
How many game winners you expect him to hit game 5 they were down three with 28 secs he hit a three to tie it. Then Klay hit a mid pressure three to win, but not a series on the line, and the game before he scored 47. When you do all that and still lose there is no shame.
If KD isn't available I'm giving the ball the Klay
Steph coulda hit that shot 🤷🏽♂️
Lost to a healthier team*
The warriors missed a boat load of free throws, no KD, no Thompson, and still had a chance to beat the Raptors with a final shot.
The Raptors aren't better than the warriors, but they played a better game. If it went to a game 7 there's no way the Raptors beat them with that kind of pressure on the line. Say what you want about the warriors but they are never scared of the big moment. Yes I'm a longtime warriors fan. Props to the raptors for taking care of business.
Max destroyed Jalens argument in the final 5 seconds lmao. He was like "he hits the shot, they win. He didn't hit the shot" 😂
They won by 4.
@@patsysadowski1546 still lost though

Lebron Hater Logic
Two finals losses for Durant.
I'm smart.
Jalen Rose: Sure, without KD, the Raptors are a better team (debatable). With KD, the Warriors are obviously a better team. KD gets its done on both ends of the floor and averages 32 PPG in the playoffs. The Raptors gave it 100% and is a great team. But, with KD Warriors in 6. No doubt the Raptors are lucky with the injured warriors
@And Siq that's irrelevant. The fact is, being an NBA champion implies that you are the superior team in the NBA. The Warriors are that with KD. KD is apart of their team whether you like it or not. Without KD the warriors are comparable to the Raptors in terms of strength. Warriors were on their way in game 6 to force a game 7 with Klay scoring 30 points in 32 minutes. With KD the warriors are obviously better than the Raptors. The Raptors won because of injuries. Plain and simple
@And Siq i agree in the 2015 finals that was unfair. We rematched the rockets this year with our KD and won. That doesn't make this year any less unfair
With out ***
@And Siq Good point, but in all of the scenarios you stated, it wasn't as drastic as the warriors. Steph injuried his finger in the Houston series, Klay injuried his hamstring and later Injuried his ACL while we were on our way to forcing a game 7. KD injuries his right calf and later tore his Achilles. Kevon broke his collar bone and had to leave early in a few games because of the pain. Cousins returned but is still a shell of his former self. That's never happened in any of your scenarios. The Raptors has the upper hand by a substantial amount. Way more than some Kawhi absence and Irving Absence
Jalen is lying.
Golden State would have won the whole thing with Klay, he easily would have had 40.
that almost won if not for the refs without KD and Klay.
Tigerex966 you’re in denial. Jalen Rose speaking facts and you know it!! Warriors woulda still lost with Klay on the court.
GS would have lost anyway. Yes Klay was on fire but the game was still close since the first half.
I find it hilarious that when the Warriors are winning nobody is talking about injuries but when they’re losing that’s the main topic.
Ppl are acting like warriors were blown out, they had chances to win the game, I'm sorry that van fleet got hot in the 4th quarter and injuries happen in sports
Lightskins always getting passes smh.. let Lebron go 0-6 in anything let alone an elimination games in the NBA finals 🤔

Well, then it's a goddamn shame that Warriors cannot win without KD...
FlamboyantChamp like the Raps can win without Kawhi right!!
First of all, ever since the fartgate scandal, i can't take Max seriously. Anyone that thinks Curry choked, does not know a single thing about basketball and advnced stats. He did everything in his capacity. Not only that, but his gravity as a player is insane. Without KD, Warriors have time and again shown that they can advance to the finals, but without Curry, Warriors would be lucky to make 8th seat. I was rooting for Toronto, but held my breath everytime the ball was released from Curry's hands, even if it was beyond half court.
5:05 that bird is doing flips
When max sees curry he goes :(
When he hears kawhis name he goes :))
Max doesn't have any sly comments towards Molly when Rose is on the show.
Seriously? Could you imagine if one of those Cavs teams lost Lebron to an injury? If that team pushed a game 6 in the finals without him, people would not say the better team won. The warriors lost, great series by the Raptors and they deserved to win given the circumstances, but anyone saying they are better should be slapped
I’m giving the ball to Klay if KD can’t go instead of Steph
Jalen made a lot of sense. Sometimes personality does not translate in the court.
Max really don't need to talk basketball EVER!
When it mattered the most in Game 6, Klay made a big shot, Iggy made a big shot in the clutch and Draymond made a huge shot in the final minute. Steph Curry had a chance to win the game on that last shot but missed. He’s 0-8 when making the last shot in the clutch in the playoffs, that sucks as a Warriors fan but it is what it is.
dude literally dragged the team on crutches to 6 games on a top defensive team averaging 31 points and still gets hate
When you become a great player, you get the attention. Expecations are always high. And suddenly you get hated.
Many superstars have done what steph has done, lost the series then gotten hella flack for things they cant help. I dont see why people always give Steph a Pass on his legacy
All for nothing be sure they lost
YoungYankeeGaming Exactly right. Same clowns that always go on about “3-6” when it comes to Lebron. The facts are Steph only won 1 chip without the help of KD
@@user-tp2rm2mg5j But KD hasn't won any chips without the help of Steph. KD didn't just come to the Warriors and magically become a better player, he just doesn't get doubled as much as he did in OKC because Steph is a threat when he crosses half court. Even his biggest Finals moment when he pulled up in LeBron's face, that was a 4x Scoring champ being defended one on one. This series the Raptors put Steph in a box and one defense with Klay and KD out. Folks gotta stop acting like KD has more rings than Steph does. Without Steph and the Warriors KD may have never won a ring.
I got one point that NOBODY mentions & I’m old enough to say I’ve watched hella Iverson & Curry. Show me the footage of Iverson catching a triple team. Show me that footage of 3 dudes immediately running at Iverson on the catch to contest his shot cause that never happened. Not saying Curry doesn’t miss some shots he needs to make but the dude is a freakin’ walking double/triple team cause that’s how you beat him. Portland didn’t trap him & that ass was swept. Toronto threw 2 to 3 dudes at him on the catch! Look at that last second 3 to end game 6. Only Steph Curry would get thrown to the wolves for missing THAT shot. It was catch & shoot off balanced 3 pointer with freakin 3 dudes running at him & they act like he missed the same shot Jordan hit over Ehlo..
Respect to Iverson but even he says Curry is the better player.

Warriors lost last night because of missed free throws. Steph makes his no matter how much pressure there is.
Steph shot 95% from the line in the finals. I hate all these Jordan disciples who think that the only time you can be clutch is shooting a game wining 3 in a close out game in the finals. No other situations or games matter. That's just stupid. Like how do you get to the NBA finals? Don't you play other games? If being clutch in other games doesn't count then someone explain to me how you even make it to the championship?

Curry alone is an offensive juggernaut, but he ain’t three fucken people. They had no other decent shooters
Terrelle Williams then never put steph name in the same sentence as Lebron. It was y’all in 2015 saying he was the best in the world and that he might be better than Jordan at inspiring fear
Here's the thing. Kawhi's finals MVP this season proved to me that the voters who vote for the FMVP award got something against Steph Curry. In 2015, Steph led his team in stats but somehow the FMVP went to the role player Andre Iguodala because he was the X-factor of that series. This year, Kawhi's finals series is essentially similar to Steph's 2015 run. He is definitely their main man and the stats leader but the X-factor is Kyle Lowry. In fact Kawhi shot poorly the last two games of the finals. In the closing game 6 Lowry was actually their best player, and VanVleet was the one who closed the game out in the 4th quarter. If Kawhi and Curry switched teams the FMVP would've gone to Lowry or even VanVleet lol.
I'm not saying that Kawhi shouldn't have won final MVP because he definitely deserved it, but in the same vein Curry should've gotten it in 2015. The FMVP is a fraud darling of the media award, and that's why members of the media like Max is praising that award to high heaven as if it's the most prestigious award you can get in the world.
Thank you finally someone who speaks facts, these analysts just hate stephen curry
@ATL 1 Say it louder for the people in the back. Kawhi led the entire playoffs in pts, assists and reb. He just play ball the right way. Lowry n VanVleet got hot because Curry was guarding them
I don't think they picked Iggy in 2015 because of Steph-hate; I think they picked Iggy because he was a great story, and they were rewarding him for being a former All Star who gave up his starting spot when asked to, and then Kerr shuffled the lineup. Curry deserved it (unless you're okay giving to a player from the losing team, in which case LeBron deserved it). But giving it to Iggy was more of a pro-Iggy decision, not an anti-Curry decision.
Steph was great in the 2017 and 2018 Finals, but in 2017 KD was clearly the deserving Finals MVP. 2018 could've honestly gone either way, but they penalized Steph because he was bad in game 3 for the first 45 minutes (before scoring 7 of the team's last 14 in the final 3 minutes), and he had only 11 points that game. Steph was absolutely the Warriors' best player in 3 of the 4 games of the 2018 Finals, but KD didn't have a bad game, and Steph had one.
Steve Bhikh FACTS!!
Kafein curry was the best player in this series better than kawhi just like how lebron was the better player in the series with the warriors, even klay was killing them when klay was up , had klay been healthy the whole series i think warriors would have won game 3 and most definitely would have won game 6
You analysts are a joke! Soon as someone loses you trash them. Before raptors beat giannas you said he was the best. Y’all just hop on the bandwagon
Yep
Yeah they have their own play book
Nah they be gassing the b*tch up
Exactly
Thank you for giving Isiah Thomas RESPECT! Very underappreciated
Bad boys
Love Zeke #Facts
@jimbosjams21 They're talking about the Isiah Thomas that played for the Pistons, and Jalen bigs him up ALL the time because he's from DTown
@jimbosjams21 lmgtfy.com/?q=how+many+championships+did+isaiah+thomas+win
@ you a hater my g but it's good. Malone couldn't win against somebody Zeke beat 3 times in a row
Jalen, "I pick Steph", Max: "Then you don't want to win then..." #nbaisfantastic 😂😂😂😂😂
Robert Clawson Lots of ifs. Lmao. No one knows how the rest of the game woulda been. Stop making excuses because i dont see Warrior fans owning up to beating a injured Cavs team. You just coming off as butthurt
Half of this Warriors team was injured. The best players on the Cavs were not injured. Not true in the case of the Warriors this year.
@@christopherpaul7588 Kyrie and KL weren't part of the Cavs' best players according to you?
Robert Clawson IF kyrie and love played in 2015 they would have lost, IF they could have finished off the cavs in 2016 they wouldn’t have to call kd, IF they didn’t have kd they would only have 1 ring, IF zaza didn’t injure kawhi the spurs would have won, IF cp3 played game 7 last year they would have lost. See, I could do the same thing
If he was clutch he would've put the team on his back like Jordan or magic and scored 50-60 points. But this proves he's not in their league.
Honestly I would pick Klay over Steph to take the final shot 🤷🏾♂️
I’ll take either fym lmfao
I'll take AI
Allen iverson 🏀 all day
@Anthony Mercado He has gotten better though. But he was on in that game. he woulda went for at least 40 if he didn't get hurt.
facts
At least he wasn’t afraid to take the shot.. whenever u shoot it’s always50/50... u can’t say he is afraid of the moment...
Curry outside of the Finals is an absolute monster. he isn’t afraid in the Finals as well but for some reason they just don’t go in, might be the supreme effort players have on defence during the Finals but Curry’s killer instinct and skills are literally the reason KD ran away from OKC and joined his conquerors. Curry has killed OKC more times than I can count lmfao, but in the Finals he just can’t make those big time shots like he usually would
@@TheKanesi He was directly responsible for the big shots in game 5, as well as making the game tying shot w a minute left. Not to mention he has 5 of the top 14 highest scoring 4th quarters from the past 20 years in the finals.
I'd say he was a little afraid. There were a bunch of moments Steph passed up a shot or was hesitant to take a shot. Especially in game 6.
@@xavierj186 Afraid is way the wrong word. He picks his shots a little more often now and understands if his shot isnt working sometimes it is best to move the ball when it doesnt feel right. But Curry is not afraid to shoot. That dude is cool if he misses as long as he took a good shot. Exactly why if he makes another finals, he would take the exact same shot and be good make or miss. He is 0 for 8 in finals game winners because he isn't afraid. There was a time when even Lebron was scared of those moments, but that isnt Curry.
Josh Knutson is he really 0 for 8?
Like I get he’s “not scared to take the shot” but he’s letting the team down time and time again by choking the shot and not passing
People acting like Steph didn’t try. They played some of the best defense on him because he’s that good. A very good defensive team was able to stop him. If they had great, fit defenders that could stop Kawhi, Toronto would’ve lost.
he scored. he just didn't win. that's the part of "try" that doesn't count.
Jamaican A
so Draymond, Klay, and Iggy are all bad defenders?
@@shahaba3189 two of these guys were banged up and one is 35 years old
Crazy how ppl say the same stuff about LeBron but we're Bronsexuals smh...y'all would've killed him
Id take Steph Curry, and Jalen Rose actually speaking common sense
Then prepare to lose.
@@TheWilder30 Oh yeah cuz Steph never wins GTFOH joker
Steph is 3-2, Lebron 3-6, and you are an imbecile (look that word up BTW)
@McGeezer Puffins huh?
@@ChrisSmith-tu9bu ur an idiot. lebron > steph. lebron didn't need kevin durant
Steph should have just signed the autograph for max. Now he acting like a scorned Girlfriend
Let’s be real though, with kd & Klay both playing would be a 3peat.
Just kd because Klay damn near played the whole series
He was playing entire halfs. That game 3 really had him gassed out. He gave it his all though, can't ask for anything more.
Edit: If y'all have a minute head over to my channel for a dope fight compilation. Thanks!
He crumbled as he usually does
Choke😥
Lol lebron been doin that
He choked when it mattered. 4 points after Klay left the game, could've won the game if he made that 3 in the last seconds. He can't carry a team by himself. He's a choke artist by nature
🤦🏾♀️
Don't forget Steph Curry was triple teamed...
THEHRHOFTIME and not for just one game, for every second of the entire finals. They were playing fullcourt defense on this man
Maaan....that's true but kobe would have still made that shot that's the difference between legendary players and great players
THANK YOU

That’s what happens when he comes off 20 screens
So after Warriors lose in the Finals, I see more people switching back and wearing their Lakers gear. Hilarious bandwagoners. 🤣
you guys are fools. real dubs fans always been there. we don't care what weak la fans do at all. nothing to do with us. go cheer for injuries and remember you lost
LeBron fan here😀
Everyone commenting on this post sounds plain stupid. Stop arguing children, season is over.
Not a real laker fan . A real laker fan never cheers for the warriors and also the sorry ass chippers y'all never winning a title!!
Facts!!
Dubs didn't lose to a better team but a healthier one at best. 5 straight trips to the Finals must've been too much on those bodies.
The Raptors were the better team on the biggest stage. THEY WON! That automatically makes them the better team.
Jihan Gino Choi so you would say this about Lebron too right cuz he’s been to 8 straight and 9 overall. 2015 was his 5th straight finals when he lost Kyrie and Kevin. So make sure u give Lebron that same pass too since we’re handing out excuses to a team so heavily loaded that even hobbled they were still favored to win.
Tha 2K Prodigy no shit Sherlock it’s a team with 5 Allstars!!! 3 of the greatest shooters/scorers we’ve EVER seen with a DPOY and a top 3 Center when healthy. Oh not to mention a Finals MVP as their 6th best player. A team this heavily loaded is never supposed to lose against ANYBODY. Which is why when they do they get absolutely no sympathy hurt or not.
@@adh2298 For the record, I'm a lifelong Warriors fan and a longtime Kawhi fan. Haters will always hate. The people that hate on the Warriors, also hate on players like Steph, KD, and Lebron for similar reasons. Haters and bandwagon fans will never be able to have an impartial discussion.
Anyone who grew up playing ball and has basketball IQ knows the all star arguments are part of the media's false narrative used to stir the pot for ratings. Those who use that argument are pawns repeating the media's false narrative not knowing they're pawns and how the same can be said about the Raptors. Between Kawhi (one of my favorite players), Ibaka, Pascal, Gasol, Lowry, Danny Green, VanVleet, Raptors are stacked with all stars, champions, defensive monsters, seasoned players, and talented shooters. Raptors have an incredible roster, and they were healthy.
Everyone knows, only reason Raptors won this ring is because Warriors struggled with an unusually high number of injuries and...no KD, no Klay. Everyone also knows the Raptors will never be satisfied in their hearts with this ring until they beat the Warriors in the finals with all their players, and a healthy team. Those who pretend otherwise can pretend all they want but in their hearts they know it's true.
Derrick J really? U wasted time and energy writing 3 paragraphs just to say everyone’s a media pawn and Raptors only won cuz they were healthy? Wow. Check out the BIG brain on Brad, ur smart.
