With regards to defense (http://espn.go.com/nba/history/awards/_/id/49) and top 10 players of all time I don't see it. Its one thing to be a great shooter and avg 30 in regular season. Against this CAVs team which is an defensive liability even Farmer's would not insure, he should be finals MVP and avg 30 every night.

You had to take a point for all time greats would you choose curry over magic/oscar/Isaiah/lebron whom I would put at point.

Thanks for agreeing. But, I'm confused about your comment on defense. In your original post you were talking about lack of defense against Curry's offense. In this post, you talk about Curry on defense. Now, are you saying he is not a great defender? As a guard, his rebound and block stats are not great, but he happens to be number 1 in the nba this season in steals. I think the notion that Curry is not good on defense is myth.
