@RogerDorn5 @JimN64 @C_Reilly5 I was just saying to even have the conversation. In my mind there is nothing Brunson could do to catch Curry. Curry is top 5 in my mind no matter what anyone says. I know what I saw. And I was around for Jordan’s 2nd 3 peat. So been watching a long time

@leftcoasttalk1 @JimN64 @C_Reilly5 He doesnt just need 3 more. He needs 8 more All NBAs. He needs 4 more 1st team All NBAs. He needs 2 league MVPs. He needs 2 scoring titles. That's to match.

Jalen Brunson or Steph Curry Who is the better all around player that you want leading your team?

Is this Accurate What Y’all Think?

@C_Reilly5 @sportcurious5 Steph just avg 27. And plays in a much tougher conf. He doesn’t beat up on the wizards. 76ers. Hornets every other day. I’m talking present day 2026. Brunson is a shot chucker. Always in close games because he’s not efficient. Took a 100+ mill pay cut to surround him with talent

@sportcurious5 brunson today, steph years ago

@JimN64 @C_Reilly5 You literally just described Curry for the past decade plus. Now add greatest shooter ever. Been to 6 finals out west. Box office. Must see tv. Cash cow. There’s levels. Salute to Brunson. It’s his moment. But curry is all time all time. There is no comparison. Jalen needs 3 more

Brunson. No doubt. Leadership. Unshakeable. Role model. Adjusts whenever needed. Respected by everyone. Team player on the court and contract negotiations, disciplined….I could go on and on. Props to Curry, but Brunson is a pro’s pro always, a guy you like to get to know.

@Crabman_Adam72 @ScottKacsmar Is Del not his father? Like that’s some stretch or something. He got it from somewhere didn’t he?

@leftcoasttalk1 @ScottKacsmar News flash... Del was better than Steph. He just played in a violent time. Del saw more defense in pregame shootaround than Steph ever saw in his career.

My top 50 NBA players of all time. No Brunson yet but give it time.

@bighoppay @AICapxne @ScottKacsmar Smh yea ok. Klay I’ve watched since HS. I watched him drop 50 in state champ gm in sac. was always a great shooter. But he needs space, he never had a great handle why he gets it off so quick. Curry gravity was perfect for Klay. All star but no HOF w/o curry. Dray not even a ⭐️

@leftcoasttalk1 @AICapxne @ScottKacsmar You would be a fool to think Klay was a Curry product. Draymond is a curry product, thats it.

@C_Reilly5 I would take 45 yr old Curry over prime Brunson. Brunson was a roll player in the west. Efficiency matters in the west or you get sent home. It’s a gauntlet. Spurs peaked early and Knicks took advantage of their youth late 4 games. It was a team thing, not Brunson buddy

“Who is the better all around player that you want leading your team?” It’s present tense Come on people

@C_Reilly5 Jalen is solid. But he plays in weak conf and is surrounded by long wings that cover for him. OG was the best Knick. Who won them the series. Jalen was great gm 5. Just stop the best little guy. Knicks pulled off a miracle. It took a miracle and LeBron to keep Curry from having 5

I’m taking Jalen all day and 5 times on Monday. Here is my latest on the little dude: x.com/c_reilly5/stat…

@Hangup5idedown @C_Reilly5 I’m saying. What is clutch stats. Clutch means the other team almost won. Curry doesn’t do 4th qtrs. It’s over after 3. Plus Kerr literally sits him half the qtr. he does his work in 6 mins

@C_Reilly5 Steph doesn’t have clutch playoff stats because the game was over by the end of the 3rd quarter😭

@TheDoubleBonus @ScottKacsmar I’m cool with all these guys you just named. I clearly named two guys and stated no way Curry is 13 or below. Automatically top 10. Everything in top 10 is subjective, besides the goat at 1. MJ

@leftcoasttalk1 @ScottKacsmar MJ, LBJ, Kareem, Wilt, Magic, Duncan, Hakeem, Russell. Defense matters

@TheDoubleBonus @ScottKacsmar Curry a serviceable defender. Who actually tries. Is he great at it no. But when your range is half court, literally. 3 beats 2 every time. His offense serves as his defense. He scores at a higher clip than basically everyone. You can’t out shoot him, or the gravity he creates

@bighoppay @AICapxne @ScottKacsmar Right just because you say so. Mchale was far from a bird product. If you know basketball. Ask guys like Barkley how good mchale was

@leftcoasttalk1 @AICapxne @ScottKacsmar I guess you think mchale and parish are getting in the hall without bird and he didnt get durant to help him win 2. Just stop. I live in the Bay and am a huge Curry fan. Hes above Kobe and some others but he aint above Bird.

@AICapxne @bighoppay @ScottKacsmar Draymond and Klay were drafted and became that next to him. No curry no HOF for those guys. Kd came and joined what they built he’s the only player and we saw how they dominated like no other(3 yrs). Bird ain’t carrying the 22’ warriors and that roster. Stop it. Bird was also 6’9

@leftcoasttalk1 @bighoppay @ScottKacsmar “but he played w multiple HOFs & has 3 titles” homie Curry has played with just as many HOFs, & greater players than Bird has??? lmao

@EhSoDaGawd @ScottKacsmar I’m being very honest. Trust me you can’t get me to say a bad thing about Bird. I know what he meant and how good he was. But He didn’t dominate the league filled with LeBron or prime MJ “his era”. It takes a once in a lifetime talent to be better than bird. And he arrived in GS

@leftcoasttalk1 @ScottKacsmar NBA finals was on tape delay before Larry Bird plus he’s got 3 consecutive MVPS…you’re not being honest with anyone, let alone yourself.

@ScottKacsmar Undersized. Limited athleticism. No D-1 offers. But keep going I’m listening lol

@leftcoasttalk1 Does it? You guys love talking about privilege in other situations but will turn a blind eye to that advantageous situation he was born into. His brother made it to the league too. The weakest of the 3 but still got there.

@krbashrob @ScottKacsmar lol yea ok. I think you’re getting curry and magic confused. Magic played on a HOf roster. When going got tough just drop it down to Cap “fist up” curry by passes all that and with greatest shot we ever seen. Basically eliminating the big man and post play. Completely changing 🏀

@leftcoasttalk1 @ScottKacsmar Steph is the only player aside from Magic in 99% of top 10 convos with no defensive accolade. You can’t say the guy is one of the 10 best ever when he’s a liability on one end of the floor. Magic single handedly changed the game while Steph was only part of the 3 movement

@bighoppay @ScottKacsmar Was. Trust me I know how good bird was. But he played with multiple hOF’s and has 3 titles. Curry peak was longer. 22’ curry passed bird. No way bird carry’s that team. But however you want I’m not going to disrespect bird like he was just some guy. But curry is curry

@leftcoasttalk1 @ScottKacsmar Bird is above Curry on every list ever. Durant shows the guy is trolling tho.

@ScottKacsmar That isn’t some flex. Makes it even more incredible. Considering we celebrate Bonny James and hand him the world. God forbid a NBA player son actually had to earn it out a mid major to become something we could only dream about

@leftcoasttalk1 Born with NBA genes too.

@ScottKacsmar Yep I knew there was some underlining hate. Guy barely 6’3 drafted to a poverty franchise turning their net worth and status into one of the top premiere in all of sports. With a talent only god could gift a human. Yea a front runner lol. Man smh

@leftcoasttalk1 I don't care for frontrunners.
