I'm surprised how close this is to my mind. Only changes: I'd drop Lebron behind Kobe (unless he wins another ring), and I still have it close between him and Bird; also I'd drop Duncan out and move the rest up. Other than that, pretty much exactly the same.

It's a double-standard that he was the best player on the team in 2015, yet they gave it to the guy who had a better series. But in 2018 they should've easily rolled the Cavs again (which they eventually did), yet in the first two games at home they were legitimately struggling early while Durant went missing and Curry bailed them out. Even if people considered Durant a better player, Curry was more important in that series, but his stats dropped in garbage time blowouts while Durant was running up the score.
Even when they lost to Toronto, people somehow felt Steph could've done more, yet forget while Durant was injured during most of that playoff run Curry carried the shit out of them, especially torching the Rockets and completely outplaying Harden.
I don't particularly even like Steph or his game, but it's always bothered me how he seems to be taken for granted just to elevate other players the media prefer.
