In fact, I'll go one further.
If one watched those 2 Warriors series, the defense was obviously oriented around getting the ball out of Curry's hands.
That's a lot of leaning & sliding in his direction, which means double-teaming Durant was impossible. And, if you can't slide help against a guy like him, he's going to kill you.
His stats were greatly helped by the fact that he was essentially guarded one-on-one for 2 whole series. With his abilities, it's no surprise he accomplished a lot.
I would have voted for Curry in both championships & he should have won the 2nd one in a walk.
We agree on Tatum, too. I do see more killer in Brown than Tatum & I think he's a slightly better defender. But, Tatum is terrific whether he wins a finals MVP or not. Besides, I don't think more highly of Brown because he did. I already thought he was superb!
