As a Raptors fan I am glad we traded him

the problem is, that's exactly what Curry is. A shooter. Nothing more. He puts up far too many shots and he throws the ball away far too often. And he's like a piece of paper on defense. Overrated and overpaid just for a shooter.
Spoelstra, I think, is actually pretty good. He's got two championships off of a team that doesn't have any decent inside presence, and basically changed the way Lebron and Wade approach the game. They didn't win in their first season because those two were chucking so many threes. After that, they got in the post a whole lot more and there was a marked improvement in the Heat's efficiency. That alone makes Spo a pretty good choice as a coach.

Wade's not underrated, more like past his prime. He was a top 3 player in his prime along side Kobe and Lebron. Too bad he has the knee's of an 80 year old from all the wear and tear. If I remember correctly he had his miniscus snipped instead of having surgery to heal it properly. In hinesight that may have cost him several healthy seasons. Derrick Rose had the same injury but did the smart thing and is letting it heal.

Curry isn't a top 5 player, more like fringe top 10. Being by far the best three point shooter elevates him to that status. There are plenty of other players who can hit 40% or close to that from 3pt territory when they spot up, what makes Curry special is how he can create his own shot and regularly sink 3's off the dribble.

There's a reason why the warriors aren't doing well this season. News Flash: their so-called "best" player is just a glorified version of Kyle Korver. When the warriors start winning based on Curry's play, I'll change my mind.
I'll leave it at that.

Spoelstra really is a good coach. For some reason people think he isn't just because he has a lot of "stars" on his team....but having stars on your team means nothing if they can't play together and be led by a good coach. Doc is also a really good coach anyone trying to downplay that can't be serious.
As for teh otehrs you named....I agree

Nah Wade even with his knees is still currently a beast and people have been under rating him because of his knees. Even though he continues to have very good games. Like this past one against the Paces he was CLEARLY the reason the Heat won. Buit someone they made it seem like it was because of LBJ. But can't hate on that seeing as LBJ is currently the best player in the league.

Lebron James. The guy isn't even the most dominant player in the league (check the stats people...check, the, stats) and yet he's talked about as top 5 all time thanks to the corporate machine needing someone to sell their shit.
The only way to compare era's is to compare how dominant a player is relevant to their peers and when has James been that player? Early on, Kobe was the most dominant player in the league and now Durant is.
He's good, but the hype is SO ridiculously overblown, it's not even funny.
There's many but these are the current on the top of my head, Kobe, Rose, Carmelo, and Westbrook.

Averaging 27 a game the past 6 is so like an 80 year old and to the guy that said lebron is overrated, he is jot, if anything people putting Paul George over him as MVP makes him underrated.. He is a monster
