Luka is better than Curry because he is a superior passer and can at least put a body on someone defensively


Curry career 40%+ Threes with high volume attempts changing the game. Range is anywhere pass half court, making defense a nightmare to plan for him if Klay and Wiggins got going too.

4 rings 2 MVPs 1 finals mvp 6 Finals appearance in 8 years Dynasty like that 90s Bulls 6 finals in 8 years b)

Luka is heating up but accomplished nothing yet. Same lvl as recent top Jimmy Butler Runs dragging Heat to 2 finals and Dropping 40 points throughout playoffs.

Just insane how much people focus on the now and just forget how great others were. Too many people fall in love with the moment.

Those same people were going on about Anthony Edwards being crowned the face of the league and the next Kobe/Jordan just 3 weeks ago.....
Guy totally shits the bed and now we get nothing but crickets after getting destroyed by...the guy who is now already better than Curry? :rofl:
"The greatest backcourt in NBA history" is what we're hearing :lol: That's a title you can earn today after a good stretch of basketball post trade deadline. Took 3 months to earn that title...
Still not as fast as the title KD, Harden and Kyrie were given in BK though.

Meanwhile, Tatum and Brown building up towards this for 5-6 years now, but get talked about like they have shown much less than those guys? It's so fucking gold

Sad thing is, those people were more sold on the Knicks too :lol:

🤷‍♂️

Yeah until they start earning multiple MVPs n multiple rings and multiple final appearances then they would deserve good mentions. Ant man MJ lol, Jokic Denver dynasty lol 2nd year playoff run already burned out, Nets big Three legendary fail in their prime years bounced in first rounds, :o

Klay and Curry are the greatest Backcourt 4 Rings splash Bros raining Threes at 40+% clip for a Decade!! Pippen n Jordan are great Dynamic Duos too 6 rings, Duncan Parker Ginobili 5 Rings, Kobe Shaq Three peat. Lebron 10 Finals Longest NBA Primes b)

Currently and next 5 years in the East Boston Celtics owning it, not going anywhere as long as White/Tatum/Brown right there. Holiday and PorKzingis Horford are Insurance bonus. Similar to the 2000s Pistons every year knocking Conference finals and 2 NBA finals, sign of great Teams and Great franchises.

Nobody is saying greatest backcourt in NBA history.

They're saying greatest OFFENSIVE backcourt. There's a huge difference.
