He hasn't been healthy for a single playoff game in his career.

Impact matters though. No player has ever had the cultural and philosophical impact that Steph had. He literally changed how basketball is played and made it better. So yeah he can't bulldoze his way past centers and dunk the ball, but those other guys can't do what Steph does either.Lol his peak offensive ceiling is top 10 but no version of Steffy has ever been reliable enough to be anywhere near top 10
He rises above adversity. It's why he dragged a shit team to game 6 against the mighty Spurs in 2013 and has won 3 rings which should have been 4 if Klay KD Iggy and Looney don't all get hurt.
Plenty of people can dunk too, you moron. Steph's scoring is what makes games blowouts you fucking retardPlenty of ppl can shoot open 3s.
Its a lot easier to take 50 footers when you are winning in a blowout, which also happens to be the only time FiTP produces.
No, it's Dream.Is Chris Kyle also Paris aka Day Walker? Lol

The very nature of his game will always be vulnerable to high variance, as we've seen in literally every Finals he's played inImpact matters though.

"Look all I'm saying is Steph only wins rings. Where are all the all star MVPs and assist titles" -Cih
I disagree with everything you have said. You say the high variance is why his productivity is volatile in the finals. Ignoring how differently games are called in the finals then the rest of the playoffs. And you don't even take into account defensive schemes and health.The very nature of his game will always be vulnerable to high variance, as we've seen in literally every Finals he's played in
It simply just isn't reliable/consistent enough for me to take him and his game top 10 all-time when you have plenty of superstars throughout history who are capable of grinding out superstar production even when their jumpshat isn't falling. The opposite extreme of Steffy's feast or famine would be guys like MJ, LeBrick, Shaq, Wad, Hakeem, Magic, Barkley, Dirk etc who when they were at their peak could impose their will on every game of a series without needing to be on a hot shaating streak
I get that Steffy is the GOAT floor spacer even when his hand is cold, and that definitely has broad impact overall in terms of building a system around him that can steamroll the regular season, but when everything gets narrowed down in the yoffs to single 4th quarters of games that ultimately define seasons and legacies, you want and need your lead dog to be able to grab the ball and say "hold my beer" and impose his will on the opponent even if he has to do it by himself. And in that sense, Steffy has always been hit or miss
And all this is not even taking into account defensive impact

Steph is top 5 all time in ppg in the finals. Why he doesn't have 2 or 3 finals MVPs is because of Nike propaganda.0 Finals MVPS
Nah, its because he sucks in crunch time.Steph is top 5 all time in ppg in the finals. Why he doesn't have 2 or 3 finals MVPs is because of Nike propaganda.
I mean Steph averages more in the 4th quarter of the playoffs tham almost everyone. Just admit when you are wrong and acknowledge that Curry is in fact a top 5 goat.This is actually speaking to my point
