STEPH IS THE BEST PLAYER EVER BY FAR

Max is always trying to disagree with Stephen , even when Steven is right
MAX DON'T EVEN BELIEVE HIS OWN WORDS COMING OUT HIS MOUTH LOL!
Excuse me but curry has been making harden his nephew for the past 3 -4 years in every playoffs
"Steph is the best shooter ever, I don't care what anybody says." Literally nobody is saying he's not
Max kellerman is the worst talker in the world. Consistently contradicts himself, it’s either on purpose for the show or he’s a total idiot
And not to mention that dame has CJ?!?!?
Steph and Giannis should be top 2 mvp but stupid voters wont let it happen
It’s MVP not MVT
Obviously Steph is the best guard
YES!!!
Another video showcasing Max's lack of knowledge in regards to basketball lol. Curry for MVP!!!
When Stephen a started sayin he is the best shooter ever "ahhhhhh sh** here we go again"
steph offense is so good to where his overall is higher than any guard in 2k and to where he is compared to jordan on offensive impact that he doesn't need a that much on defense.
If steph can get a 8 seed with this team he is undoubtely the best in the leauge if he dont then we see he can score and not win
mvp is supposed to be most valuable player. so record shouldn't matter but this is how the NBA works
If the warriors won 7-9 more games Steph a most likely be MVP
Max is challenged yo
At almost 67yrs old I say without a doubt.step curry's the best seen A+ Steven A.
Steph is way better then dame it’s not even close
we might never se Dame in the final Max. If we are talking about pure guards then Harden has been better as a distributor this season but as a player I think Steph is better.
This year curry is the best guard, he doing better than dame, even though he been putting up good numbers, and he doing way better than kyrie, so yes curry is the best point guard this year
No curry is not the greatest of all time its either lebron or Jordan
It’s stupid that if they don’t consider him MVP if he doesn’t make playoffs. He is so obvious the MVP of any player on any team for what he does. He is the only shooter on team and look at the games won when he plays and team falls apart when he sits. Harden has so most help please stop
Steph Curry is the best guard in the NBA and its not close!
Steph will end up on the Mavs
Kyrie is up there also
Two Words…. ANDRE IGUADALA (periodt)
Ray > Stephen…
This shouldn’t even be a question
"you literally have to pick him up at halfcourt." meanwhile curry bricks half court shot against the celtics and in the allstar game. Dame walks up in the bubble vs the nets and in the all star game at the literal half court stripe and shoots like a jumpshot and splashes it. nice.
What about James Harden…
Max Kellerman to Steph is Skip Bayless to Lebron…
Lillard and Curry don’t belong in the same conversation. End of.
Nikola jokic is the mvp, if its not him its embiid, and if its not embiid its curry. Curry is the mvp of gaurds and its literally split 34% 33% and 33% between those guys.
Where them haters at tonight? Even LBJ says he's the MVP. Stop denying this dude His respect.
MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP MVP
Max and nick wright are the top curry haters smh
is that even a question? he is the best nba player in history. the nba has evolved because of him.
Yes. Saved you 7 minutes.
Max is just a fool
Hate to comment again, but for him to compare Brooklyn's and Portland's roster to the Warriors is just ridiculous. Slap yourself Max. Let's be real. Draymond Green hasn't preformed up to par with his 2015-16 self since. Averaging 6 pts per game isn't exactly what I call help. Yes, he is a good assist man, but that also has a lot to do with Steph making it easy on him. Just look at the difference when Steph is on the court and off. Draymond's assists are not all that happening when he doesn't have Steph spreading the floor and the Defense constantly has to keep their eye on him without the ball. Sometimes completely ignoring the man they are guarding.
Steph curry been the best guard for about 8 years now not much as changed
